When the students arrived, John was ready. He had the classroom arranged into a seriously long table with a white cloth covering the whole thing. There were seats on both sides for everyone to get in and in the center of the table were platters full of unwrapped cakes.

"I'm betting some of you guys recognize the snack cake before you. Hostess has been making this thing since the 1930s if you believe the internet. The Twinkie is a sponge cake filled with vanilla cream. It's both tasty and capable of withstanding tremendous testing. I know, some would argue that a Twinkie is not actual food but more like kindling with its excessively long freshness date, but the steak I was planning to talk about this week didn't work out. I blame too much alcohol and weird dates this weekend. So instead of studying a map of beef, we're gonna have a little contest to see who can consume the most Twinkies in the shortest amount of time. Now, I've seen a guy eat a dozen in five minutes, but I'm not trying to break your stomachs in week four of class. For those fearful of stuffing themselves, I've also provided coffee and milk in thermoses at the other end of the table there." Sometimes he could be kind toward the sane people.

"Before we begin, I'd like to recite some poems I found in my online research this morning:

Moist golden sponge cake.
Creamy white filling of joy.
Boy, I love Twinkies! "

It was so true and simple, really.

"Is the Twinkie smart?
Is it just ignoring us?
Maybe never know.

"Now that our deep thoughts moment is over, is everybody ready to eat? No questions?" He'd pause and answer them if needed, but the moment he was done, John smacked the timer on the table in front of him and it started counting down.

Kon was stealing Momo's Twinkies, telekinetically, and seeing how many he could get before she noticed.

Two.

And that was only because she was wasn't expecting someone to try to steal her cakes. Who would dare? She turned as a third (not that she knew that) one lifted and floated away.

"Hey!" Momoko tsked at Kon as she grabbed it back. "Mine, you food stealer! You looking for a rematch?"

Kon grinned as he stuffed his latest victory Twinkie in his mouth.

"Mine now," Kon said through a mouthful of delicious spongy dessert. "And I totally won last time."

"I totally got you!" She pointed out, reaching to move her pile of delicious cakes out of his sight range. "Fair and square. No powers! You cheated!"

He stuck his tongue out, like the mature 2-year-old he was in actuality. "Nope, you never said no powers, " Kon pointed out, sneaking another Twinkie, even though he couldn't see it. "It's so a win."

"You never called that we could!" She stuck her own tongue out at him as her Twinkie sped away; she was totally wishing she had some hot sauce or something. "So you cheated and I win. Because I am good and honest and don't steal cakes from girls and make them sad."

He grinned and opened his mouth, Twinkie poking out. "You want it come and get it." We wiggled his eyebrows for added effect. "All is fair in love and war. Or food and war, at least."

If she didn't want to transform, she was gonna have to play dirty.

Momoko whispered a little apology to the cake as she sighed and moved closer. She was looking Kon directly in the eyes, unblinking, as she leaned towards him, moving her head ever slightly nearer, lifting her hand slowly up to hover near his cheek, not quite touching, then over to...

attempt to smoosh that twinkie into his face.

Kon grinned as Momo came closer. He hadn't actually thought that would work, but then again the ladies never could resist the Superboy.

One moment he was leaning forward to meet Momoko halfway, and the next there was Twinkie in his face. It took a moment before he realized what happened, took one look at Momoko, then grabbed a Twinkie in each hand and tackled her.

"Got you! Got you!" Momoko couldn't help the giggles that erupted as she fell back. She needed to try to escape, but couldn't while laughing and holding off his hands. She had increased strength as Momoko, but it probably wasn't going to be enough to hold back the Twinkie doom Kon was attempting, so maybe she shouldn't taunt him anymore?

"Got past your shields! Ha! I win, food stealer!"

Kon considered it for a moment, before stopping and withdrawing just a little. "Alright, you earned that one, you win the battle."

He grinned at her...then surged forward, smushing the two twinkies on her chest.

"But I win the war."

"Eh?" Momoko had actually fallen for that, yes, so she was looking down at his hands with some surprise. Was he touching her... "Ahh!"

NO! She reached for his hands and pushed him off of, and well away from, her person. Possibly using a bit more force than absolutely necessary. Okay, she totally used more force than was necessary; he had powers, he could take it.

"That was totally going too far, Kon." Blushing but also upset, Momoko pulled at her blouse and tried to assess the damage to it and her comfort zones.
