Second Floor Common Room, Saturday night

Popcorn. Nuts. Cookies. Pretzels. Chips. A liter of Diet Coke. And one of those Barry Plodder movies on TV.

Hello, Denial, Kenzi's old friend. Nom nom nom noooom.

Food. And TV. Both of those, Rapunzel had come to find, were excellent distractions.

And company also helped. Which was why she found herself wandering from floor to floor. And why she stopped on the second.

Food. TV. Company.

"Hey," she said, waving awkwardly.

"Hey." Kenzi looked up, and moved a bowl of popcorn off the couch. "C'mon in. Snack attack?" There was dancing on-screen, and Kenzi hummed along with the music.

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

"Snack... attack?" Rapunzel wasn't familiar with that particular phrase.

But she smiled because it sounded funny!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel was a good way to distract herself. Kenzi grinned slightly. "When the sudden need for cheesy salty sugary goodness overwhelms you, and your body demands food now! Have you had these yet?"

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel shook her head.

"Not yet..." But she was sure that Kenzi was about to educate her.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Dude!" Yes she was! And thrilled and honored to do it! "Okay, these are pretzels, they're salty crunchy baked dough. This is popcorn, that's corn that's been heated in oil and they're salted and delish. Chips!" She held up the Tositos. "Um. I don't really know what they are. Fried wheat thingies. Here, try some!" She pushed all the bowls toward Rapunzel and urged. "Just take a handful."

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

"Of all of them?" she asked, eyes wide. That seemed like a lot.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"How can you know which one you like best otherwise?" Kenzi offered. "'Sides, you don't have to finish 'em all. That's why they're great. Bite-size!"

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

"Okay..."

Rapunzel may have been hesitant, but she was sure that Kenzi wouldn't lead her astray. So she reached out and scooped up a handful of popcorn. Then tried to add a handful of pretzels to her already-full hand.

Denial was a good friend of Freddie right now, as well. He came in with his PearPad, and sat down on one of the couches.

"Oh hey, Barry Plodder. I like these movies," he said, only the faintest smile on his face.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"They're shiny shiny eye candy and fluff," Kenzi agreed. "Cookie? You missed the fire lizards."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Aww man, that's one of my favorite parts," he said. He leaned over and snagged an offered cookie.

He punched at his PearPad and groaned. "Come on, stop giving me these stupid shellac errors."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Shellac errors?" Kenzi's eyebrows went up. "Your nail polish failing you, Fredward?"

"Stupid internet says the iCarly server is down," Freddie said. "And no amount of refreshing is getting it to, you know, load right."

He looked a little bit like he was on edge of a breakdown. "Maybe I should just... eat the cookie."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"And popcorn," Kenzi said, worried. She passed over the bowl. She swallowed. "So, your phone isn't phoning home? ... there's more cookies too."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it hasn't worked since last night when something knocked Carly offline during iCarly," Freddie said, biting into the cookie. "It's weird, like... can't get hold of anyone weird."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Shit." Kenzi could guess what was happening, but hey, why harsh the guy's attempts? "Have some popcorn too. Oh, look, scary fish-folk!" She shuddered. "Hate those teeth."

Ocassionally, Toby had been known to use his telepathy for things like girlfriend-radar.

"Hey," he greeted, wandering in and flopping on the couch beside her. "Those for sharing?"sm

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Yes!" Kenzi grinned up at him. "We're watching the Barry Plodder movies. Another one's just starting. Do you have these, back home?" She held out the bowl of popcorn to him, throwing a bite in the air to catch in her mouth.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so?" Toby frowned. "They don't sound familiar. What are they about?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Dude!" Kenzi patted the seat next to her, bouncing. "They are so made for us. This lonely orphan kid finds out he's actually a magician, and gets to go to magic school in Ireland. I think. And there's an evil magician after him all the time but he and his friends kick bad guy ass. Plus, there's fire-lizards and magic candy." See? It was so them!

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Toby slid over, a bit of a grin forming on his lips. "That does kinda sound familiar, huh?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Heh." Kenzi leaned her head against his shoulder, smirking. "I liked the books when I was little. Movies are better, though. Plus, some of the guys are hot." She winked at him.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Toby wrinkled his nose at her. "I don't know about that," he grumbled.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"You don't think that guy with the glasses and messy dark hair is hot?" Kenzi checked, giggling. Then looked at him. "Hunh. I maybe see a resemblance."
