Food Appreciation [Week 4, Period 4, Mon. 9/20]

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.

Name, call-sign, and hottest icon.

Listen, sneak a Twinkie if you dare.

Race to eat more Twinkies! Or just rip them apart and try to see if they all have the same amount of filling. Not like anyone would do that ever, um.

Snack cake in one hand, coffee in the other, John was feeling pretty good about today.

I don't even know how this class happened.

Alex Karev, El Presidente

Alex had lived off Twinkies back home so he wasn't really going to race and try to eat more. It'd been awhile since he had one so he'd take his time and hope his stomach didn't reject the yellow goodness.

Calvin, Hey You

Calvin really didn't need an excuse to stuff his face full of Twinkies. Now that he'd been given one, the amount he was eating he wasn't going to come down off the sugar high for a week.

Luke Castellan, Lightning Thief

...oh, you meant some other meaning of hot

Kate Gregson, PVH ~~in a week, anyway~~

Oh, if only Kate hadn't had to go to work after this, she would've totally indulged in trying to beat everyone else at eating Twinkies.

As things were, however, she was going to keep it moderate.

Helen Haras-Uquara, Hand of Uquar

Oh, these were good! Helen made a note to buy some to share with James.

Ariel, Princess

Peter Bishop, Brontosaurus.

Peter wasn't this stupid. He actually refrained from the Twinkies entirely, though he didn't judge the people who went for the scarfing. He just knew that much processed sugar was a bad, bad idea in such a short time.

He nibbled solely at a single Twinkie. "I wish we had Sno-Balls," he remarked.

Bobby Drake, Iceman

Twinkie eating contest? Oh, Bobby would own this. Thank you, overactive metabolism plus years of doing exactly this sort of thing with Hank.

Andy Gallagher, ObiWan

Chuck, Nerd.

Today was going to be a very cake-filled day for Chuck. Knowing he was having some later was not going to stop him from taking part in this, though.

He might not be eating twelve in five minutes, but he hardly needed any encouragement to stuff himself with sugary snack food.

Alex Russo, Wizard ~~in training~~.

Jane Lane, Maverick. Maybe Iceman. Not Goose.

Jane wasn't sneaking any Twinkies, but she was attempting to study one from a distance. Sure, one Twinkie was fine. Two should be okay. But what happened to you if you ate that many? Who really knew the effects? Hadn't there been a Sick, Sad World segment about this?

George Cooper, Rogue. Not that one.

Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis, Shrieker

There was something a little bit off about the look of these Twinkies, but they were cake. Joolushko wasn't about to pass up cake just because it looked extremely artificial. Especially not cake with a creme filling.

The first one disappeared very quickly, but she slowed down after that and nibbled carefully at the second one for a long while.

Momoko Akatsutsumi, heromaniac

It wasn't really cake, but Momoko was totally going to enjoy this class!

Momoko glanced over and raised an eyebrow as she took another bite of her latest twinkie. Did Bobby think he could out-eat her? At cake?

You could almost hear the challenge music as she tried to catch his eye.

Not that he had to; she'd still consider herself challenged, either way. Momoko had a reputation to uphold.

K-Mart, Shotgun

Oh, K-Mart was going to be high as hell off sugar by the time this class was over.

God, Fandom had been so bad for her like that.

Kon-El, Sex God

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.

Edited 2010-09-21 06:10 (UTC)

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.

So did Bobby, as it happens. He smirked back at her as he polished off another twinkie.

Oh, that smirk was totally a reply to her challenge.

She raised an eyebrow and grinned at him as she reached for a cake with one hand, finishing it in one bite as she reached for the next twinkie with the other.

"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.
