Friendship is Cakes!! - 3rd Period, Wednesday

[justlurkinghere]

Pinkie Pie had on a chef's hat and a yellow and blue mustache drawn on her face with icing.

She liked to make a good first impression. Derek had no yellow and blue mustache (he had a pretty epic stubble beard going on) and no need to make a good first impression. Instead, he had a frown.

The frown might have been aimed at the icing mustache. Because how did she even manage that?

The world may never know.

"Hihihihi everypony!" Pinkie greeted with a manic wave of a hoof. "Welcome to Friendship is . . . Baking? No, that was last time. Psssst!" she hissed sotto voce at Derek. "What did we officially name this one again?"

Oh god, she wanted Derek to remember? "Cake… decorating?" he ventured.

"Friendship is cake decorating?" Pinkie frowned thoughtfully. "That doesn't sound very snazzy. And it doesn't have nearly enough exclamation points on it. Oh well!" She threw up her hooves in a "whatever" kind of gesture. "Welcome to a friendshippy class about cakes! I'm Pinkie Pie!" And she held up a heart-shaped cake with her winking face drawn on it, framed by her yellow and blue cutie mark, with an illegible scrawl of black icing as a caption. "See?"

"She's real, you're not hallucinating," Derek added dryly. "You get used to it."

"He's Derek," Pinkie said, and held up another cake, this one circular with a big grey wolf on it. "Isn't he talented?!"

Derek huffed because that cake had been for friendship only, Pinkie. Not for sharing. "We're going to introduce ourselves with a cake that says something about you."

Friendship is sharing, Derek. "We've gots lots and lots and lots of different cakes for you!" Pinkie said, holding up several different shaped blank sheetcakes along with the two decorated ones she already had. "And lots and lots and lots of different colored icings!" A veritable rainbow of icing bags were added to the array, all held up at the end of a hoof. Seriously, was she secretly a bright pink milipede? "And what class would be complete without glitter!"

The big vat of shiny edible gold dust was apparently just one item too many for her. Pinkie went from proud to distressed as she stumbled, then desperately tried to keep all the cakes and icings and glitters balanced. She staggered back and forth across the room, letting out little "whoooooooooaaaaa, whooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"s as she went.

The students might want to take cover.

Decorate a Cake!

[justlurkinghere]

That says something about you. Then present it to the class!

Cassandra looked at the cake.

Then at her teachers.

Then at the cake.

"No," she said.

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[justlurkinghere]

"That's fine," Derek replied with a shrug. "She'll just sing a song at you. About friendship."

Yes, somehow he was making the cheerful, pink pony into the bad cop here.

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[seeks_truth]

Well, so far, Cassandra did dislike him less than the pony?

"Why?" Cassandra demanded. "This does not seem very useful."

Pinkie slowly leaned out from behind a nearby stack of supplies. "It's fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuun," she said.

'Cause, you know, that wasn't creepy at all.

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra narrowed her eyes at Pinkie. Yes, very creepy.

"Keep your distance, creature."

"It's delicious," Hanna felt compelled to point out. Not that she was going to nag Cassandra about it. Her previous encounter with her seemed to indicate that arguing with her was futile.

This was definitely the weirdest room Amy had ever been in.

The way things were going, it looked like she was going to spend most of the class period staring. Her cake, sloppily assembled toward the end of class, was decorated with a bad icing rendition of a film reel.

"'Cause I like documentaries." That was her presentation. Wasn't it thorough?

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[justlurkinghere]

"That's it." Said the guy who's cake was a complete cliche.

"Documentaries?"

After five days here, Hanna's paranoia had settled down to the point where it was nice to see familiar, new faces.

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[locointhecoco]

"Oooo, neato keen!" Pinkie enthused. "What's your favorite?"

Pinkie knew nothing at all about documentaries. That would not stop her enthusiasm.

Ducking! So much ducking! Because being covered in glitter and icing did not seem like a good way to start the class.

And yet also, smiling. Because-- it was a pink pony. That talked. Hanna was irresistibly reminded of Mr. Knepfler, and his silly dance, and singing. Which was a little sad, too, but-- really. PINK.

Then she wound up staring at the cake, trying to think of how to represent herself. In frosted cakes.

Derek huffed because why was he placed in charge of children? He was terrible at this.

"Maybe put your name first."

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[locointhecoco]

"Whatcha gonna make?" Pinkie asked, peering over Hanna's shoulder. "Huh huh huh?"

Thankfully, Kira was prepared for class with Pinkie (and Derek), so she got right to work icing her cake. Stripes of pink and purple had seemed better as a concept than actual practice, so they weren't so much stripes as different patches of icing. Her name, in black icing, came out a lot better. Now she just had to figure out what else to draw on it. She'd considered a sword for about two seconds before realizing there was no way she could make one without it looking dirty, and that was just not right considering her teachers.

"No foxes?" Derek thought he was hilarious.

Re: Decorate a Cake!

[princessarcasm]

"You're way better at this than me," Amy said with just a bit of envy. "I think Mr. Hale is a few minutes away from going all Gordon Ramsay on me."

Joker took a plain rectangular sheet cake, covered it in black icing, and began drawing a spaceship.

Talk to the Teachers

[justlurkinghere]

One of which has hopefully stopped wobbling?

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[locointhecoco]

She did! And she even did it without spilling too much glitter!

For, you know, certain values of "too much", anyway.

OOC

Also: crying.
