Cupcake War Crimes, Take 2 [Thursday, Period 3]

Big surprise: classroom, kitchen setup, trays of cupcakes up front. That much was about par for the course. The glass case that looked like it was meant to keep cupcakes away from curious would-be tasters might be a new twist.

Although some of the cupcakes inside that case did look rather lovely. Some looked nothing like cupcakes at all. There were baby birds in a nest, ladybugs, and shark fins sticking out of water icing, in case you hadn’t been missing less freezing temperatures enough, and needed a beach theme to rub salt in the wound.

Stark was eyeing all of the cupcakes warily. More warily than he normally eyed the questionable cupcakes. Anders, likewise, was giving the cupcakes -- a colorful array of really attractive ones --a suspicious look and a wide berth.

. . . okay, so the wide berth might have something to do with the gremlin trapped under the glass dome with some of the cupcakes.

“Hey, guys,” Anders began, looking sheepish and apologetic and almost nervous. “The plan for today was to cover the idea that cupcakes are so awesome, people make stuff that looks like ‘em without the edible part. Just that guy in there --” he shot a glare at the gremlin -- “mixed ‘em all up. So instead, today’s gonna be about making sure you know your baked goods well enough to be able to tell the difference between real cupcakes and fake ones made out of soap.”

“I don’t recommend tasting them,” Stark said. He hadn’t, thankfully, but the idea of biting into a cupcake and getting soap instead was still fairly horrifying. “Try to find out another way.”

"That doesn't involve getting bitten," Anders had to disclaim, like the entire biting option wasn't already limited enough today.

Sam was keeping his distance (his far, far distance) from those gremlins and he was making sure Toby the cat did the same thing. He figured his friend would want to be in class even if he was worried that Toby would start licking soap.

Actually, that'd be a good way to figure out what was a cupcake and what wasn't. He'd just let Toby lick things and watch his reactions while he did. If Toby ended up like soap, well, obviously Sam's plan would fail.

Miley squinted at a cupcake (http://sugarhappy.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/guitar-cupcake.jpg). She sniffed it. It didn't smell like soap. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking because she really, really wanted it. Tentatively, after glancing around to see if anyone was watching, her tongue darted out and licked the frosting on top.

OH. OH, THAT WAS JUST CRUEL. SOAP. EW.

Mercy's nose easily let her pick out soap from real. Even though some of the soap ones smelled temptingly, deceptively, good.

Kenzi was crashing class again, although she had plans for later, and recognized Sam. And looked around for Toby, frowning. "Hey, where's your bud?"

Sam looked confused at her question. "My bud?" That was a little too general for Sam to answer accurately.

"Might have to be more specific. A lot of people would qualify as buds, I think."

"Tooooby," Kenzi specified. She'd been hoping to flirt with him some more, he was fun. "Seen him?"

"Yep." Sam didn't elaborate because she'd only asked a yes or no question and he decided he wanted to be overly literal today. It wasn't his fault she hadn't figured out he was a cat.

Yeah, like that would discourage her at this point. "So? Care to share why he's not in class?" She frowned. "He's not sick or something, is he?"

"What makes you think I know?" Sam asked, glancing over at the cat that was sniffing at some of the soap items and flicking his tail disgustedly. "Last I checked, I wasn't Toby's keeper. Missed that interview."

Freddie figured this was easy. Possibly.

"I'm not allowed to just call in a friend who'd be willing to taste test, am I?" he asked.

"'cause you just said you'd seen him. Did you, or didn't you?" Kenzi sticks her tongue out at him, then clarifies, "You don't have to get pissy. Just say you've got no clue." Her eyes follow his gaze over to the cat, then, and she blinks. "You brought your cat to class?" Weird much?

Sam gave her a look for that one. She'd gone from assuming he was pissed to calling him weird. Did that make Sam wanna stop being stubborn? Nope.

"Making a lot of assumptions today, aren't you?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow. "You don't even know my name and you've decided I'm pissy to deciding I'm clueless. That's really not the best way to get me to help you out, now is it? I could say Toby left town and you wouldn't know if I was lying or not."

"True. Are you the sort of person to do that?" Kenzi asked, undeterred. And picking up 'cupcakes' to smell them, trying to decide which were real. "I might do something like that." She leaned over. "What's the cat's name?" she asked, holding out her fingers to it.

"What makes you think this is my cat?" Sam asked, ignoring the first part of her question so he could snicker at the second part. "You're just full of assumptions, aren't you? And yet, you haven't even asked my name. That's like a first date without dinner."

Kenzi gave him another 'you're strange' look, then shrugged, reaching for the cat. "So you don't care if I take him then?" Hey. If it wasn't this guy's...

Of course, Bart might not like it. Bo definitely wouldn't. Hmm. Maybe she could give him to that girl across the hall. She looked like a cat person.

She stared at him, and then decided, "I now dub thee Rupert."
