Thanksgiving - The cafeteria - Thursday early evening

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly wasn't exactly in the mood to be social, but a StuCo sponsored Thanksgiving meal had been her suggestion and she could fake happy. Too bad there hadn't been time for StuCo to organize everything. Then she'd remembered the food replicator that got used every now and then.

So, she'd headed down to the cafeteria, picked the lock on the doors and quickly found the mailbox sized device.

After a test run and the discovery that it could make place settings as well, Molly made some hasty handwavy signs and ran to put them up in the dorm stairwells and common rooms before heading back to the cafeteria to start replicating dinner.

Finally, she opened the doors and sat down to wait to see if anybody would show up.

Making his way down to the cafeteria to see if anyone else was still around, Teddy was pleasantly surprised by the spread. "Oh, please tell me there is lots of pumpkin pie."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"There is as much pumpkin pie as you want," Molly said, smiling. "I found the food replicator."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"You're a life saver," Teddy replied, grinning back happily.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly chuckled. "Don't forget to balance it out with some turkey and stuffing," she said.

Teddy just gave her a look. "I suppose." A healthy diet was a myth during the holidays.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly caught the look and laughed. "Or not. Do you want extra whipped cream for your pies or do you take them straight pumpkin?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

It was true! "Can I have one of each?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Of course!" Molly said, hopping up to go poke buttons on the food replicator. She returned just a few moments later and presented Teddy with his pies. "All for you!"

"This is the best Thanksgiving ever!" Especially considering last year and the Civil War.

[intraspective]

"It's Teddy, right?" Ino asked, looking over curiously. She'd only met him once, so it was best to be sure.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned, waving with his hand not occupied by pie. "Yeah, Ino, right?"

[intraspective]

"That's me!" Ino grinned back, "Did you know about the holiday today? I didn't until I came down here."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy ducked his head sheepishly. "I knew. I just don't have family to see, really."

[intraspective]

She stared at him briefly, then picked up her plate and went to sit with him. "I'll be your family then!" Ino grinned, "After all, you're my bigger brother's boyfriend so you almost are anyway!"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned at that, pushing one of his pieces of pie to her. "That sounds nice."

[intraspective]

More pie? Ino supposed it was alright, since it was a holiday and all. "Well," she said teasingly, "it'd be rather mean to say it sounded like an awful idea, don't you think?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"And I'm just an evil guy like that." Teddy replied, chuckling at that.

[intraspective]

She stuck her tongue out at him. "You don't look very evil."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I hide it well," Teddy confided. "I'm secretly an evil villain. With the attacking and everything."

He was terrifying. Really.

[intraspective]

He made Ino laugh.

"I can attack too! Can I be a villain also?" Ino adopted her most innocent expression.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Teddy said warily. "Are you willing to wear a stupid outfit and make puns?"

[intraspective]

She duly considered this. "Can it be a cute stupid outfit?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy frowned. "As long as you make the puns!"

[intraspective]

"I'm not sure how good I'd be at that." Ino wrinkled her nose at the idea, "And why do puns have to be made anyway?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I don't know yet. You'll need a name and then you can come up with puns?"
