Friendship is Baking!!! - Wednesday

[justlurkinghere]

There were bowls of pre-made sugar cookie dough (not from a tube, no), a selection of heart shaped cookie cutters, and a lovely assortment of frostings at the front of the class this afternoon. Because it was Valentine's week.

Fear for your lives.

Pinkie didn't know what this whole "Valentine's" business was? (Yes, she'd been here for years, but you didn't REALLY think she was paying that close attention, did you?) But it was also very close to Hearts and Hooves Day, and that had her very excited.

"Hellohellohello!" she greeted at the top of the class. "Raise your hoof -- uh, hand? Humans have hands right? -- if you have a very special somepony! -- er, very special somehuman!"

"You don't have to raise your hands," Derek added, helpfully. He dumped supplies on desks like a good little assistant. At least he wasn't wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron, okay?

Yet, honey. He's not wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron yet.

Pinkie pouted. "But I wanna know who has a very special somepony!" Yes. She was in fact whining.

Derek rolled his eyes. "It's private." Like his apron wearing!

Pinkie sighed. "You're just sad 'cause you don't have a very special somepony right now," she decided. "Oh! You're forgetting your apron!" She tossed it at his face.

Goddamnit, Pinkie.

That got a huff of extreme annoyance that always happened in this special classroom before the apron was put on without reading the text on it. With a lot more anger than strictly necessary, but. What can you do? "Today we're doing sugar cookies. You can give them out or eat them yourself."

"Or both!" Pinkie said. She had frosting all over her mouth. When did this happen?

It was probably best not to know.

Derek sighed again. "Or both. Get to work."

Victor rubbed his fingers across his forehead, about to laugh again out of surprise. He decided to go for it -- Isabelle was right, he was never going to get less single if he didn't ask people out. And there were definitely way worse things he could do than spend a couple hours with a cool, pretty girl.

"I guess I am," he said. "You doing anything Sunday night?"

The next few days were packed with Valentine's Day, the dance and his birthday, all of which seemed like unfortunate timing for a casual date.

Isabelle smirked at him. "As a matter of fact, I'm not." That she knew of. Fandom and alternative universes were going to have other ideas related to child-minding. "I'm perfectly free."

Alternate universes sucked that way.

"Then I guess we have a date," Victor said, and resisted the urge to pump his fist. "Are you a vegetarian or anything weird like that?"

"I'm weird by a lot of standards," Isabelle quipped. She meant mundane standards, mostly. For her own culture, she was pretty normal. "But that's not one of them. No dietary restrictions."

"Yeah, I've noticed weird runs in your family," Victor joked. "But cool. Nothing kills a night out like watching somebody who doesn't eat meat be sad at Mooby's."

He was not going to take her to Mooby's. Probably.

Isabelle's head tilted to the side. "Mooby's is the fast food place, right?" she checked. Then she shook her head. "Don't take me to the fast food place."
