Competitive Cooking - Wednesday, Period 3 [7/21]

When Piper arrived, she placed a container on the table in front of the classroom. "Morning everyone. I brought brownies. Feel free to take one." She made them herself, of course.

"Today, the ingredient you're going to work with is cheese. That's a pretty easy one. You can make so much with it." She then went into a short lecture about what can be made with cheese, many of the recipes being Italian dishes. "Okay, so try to pair up with someone you haven't worked with, yet. As always, I'm here if you have any questions."

"Since Monday night," Tara said. "She's done it before. I'm just ... kind of following her around and waiting it out."

The hedgehog looked indignant.

"She moves fast when she's not asleep. Which is a lot."

"She's adorable," Sookie offered, because she knew full well it was pretty much the only time she'd ever get away with declaring as much. "And I bet it beats being a kangaroo. Could be worse."

"She is," Tara said. (She could usually get away with saying so, but it was easier when Kennedy was a hedgehog and wouldn't' even pretend to be affronted. "B-but a kangaroo would be cool, too -- she could carry my books in her pouch. Who turns into a kangaroo?"

As she talked, she was setting the pan of water on the stove to boil the noodles.

"I did," she admitted sheepishly. "Last year. I swear, I think Bobby somehow tempted fate and did it to me, because we had just been talking about whether kangaroos know sign language."

"... well, did they?" Tara said, asking the obvious question. "I don't think they'd be much good at it. 'Cause, uh -- paws."

"Well, I wasn't gifted with special sign language powers," Sookie volunteered. "So probably not. I don't think they'd be good at it either, but...you know how Bobby's super-weird sometimes. It was so his idea."

It was so a joint idea.

"I think he brings it out in people," Tara offered with a slight smile. (Meaning she guessed it was a joint idea.) "It's all quiet over in our cabin with him out and Kennedy like this. You could come visit if yours is making you nuts."

"I might take you up on that," she admitted. "I mean, it's not too bad -- it's me and Emma and Tahiri and Blysse on my side of the cabin -- but I'm never going to turn down the opportunity to get to coo at Kennedy when she can't yell at me, for one thing."

Tara covered the hedgehog's wee ears and whispered, "That's part of why I'm not rushing to find a spell to change her back. She's too cute like this."

"It sounds like you got a good cabin," she added, going back to stir the pasta. ""Ours is nice, just feels empty with fewer than eight people, y'know?"

Sookie nodded, starting to grate a bunch of cheese. "I was over there yesterday," she said, blushing a little because Tara probably knew that, "and, y'know, nice and quiet as it is, I bet it'd get kinda lonesome."

"Especially at night when you can hear the owls," Tara nodded carefully. "It's nice. Warren is a really nice guy. I've just never been that close to alone, y'know? Even without Fiona in the dorms, I can hear my neighbors."

Sookie nodded along. "Even though Lois moved out, and even though I complain if people get too loud, I think I'd be a little creeped out if I couldn't hear other people around. Either with my ears or with my head. But Warren's a sweetheart. At least," Sookie offered thoughtfully, "you've got nice boys in there, with you two. I mean, I've got Zack and Hiccup, and they're both adorable, but I always sort of worry I'll end up having to live with some gross guy."

"I've been thinking about that," Tara said. "I kinda want a new roommate now that Fiona's gone home? But, yeah -- a guy would be weird."

A beat as she stirred the pasta. "Zack wouldn't be too bad. Or Bobby or Warren."

"You don't like having the room to yourself?" Sookie had welcomed it, but then, she had a special circumstance.

"I don't dislike it?" Tara said. "But I have two more years here, and Kennedy's a year ahead of me, and ..."

She gave a lopsided smile, stopping herself. "Sometimes I worry too much. I should enjoy having it to myself while I can."
