fandomhigh | Cupcakes, Friday 6/10, 2nd period

Another Friday morning meant another box of ingredients at the front of the home ec room along with the teacher. "Good morning," he said. "Welcome back, again. I brought pink things, this week, by request." Hopefully Summer was feeling appreciated. He flashed a quick smile in her direction.

Then, eyeing the box with some trepidation he gave his head a little shake and opened the box.

"I have pink grapefruit, pink lemonade, dragon fruit, pink Starbursts," he said, pulling things out of the box as he spoke and lining them up on the counter. "And I have rose water and rose petals, pink cream soda which has a note on it saying it's from Canada, rhubarb, pink salt and ... pink peppercorns?"

Stark frowned and sighed before reaching back into the box which was somehow still not empty.

"Oh no. There's shrimp." Summer was getting a much different look now. One that was suspicious and tinged with fear. "And there's smoked salmon. I hope that's all…"

He peered into the box, let out a small dismayed noise, and pulled the final item out of the box. "And…there's this. Pepto Bismol. That's…please don't. That's not even food!"

"I have some cupcakes without any seafood in the back," he said, sounding resigned now. "And without any medicine in them either. I like the Starburst ones best, I think. Ask if you want help. Or need help." He was going to be eating a Starburst cupcake to distract himself from the seafood and medicine and hoping nobody tried to combine those things. They would be bad enough on their own.

He's keeping an eye on that bottle of pink goo!

And here Summer was starting to think that maybe her suggestion of pink for the day was a surprisingly good one, but she should have also known better and gave an awkward kind of laugh when the shrimp and the salmon and the Pepto started to come out.

"I am feeling," she informed Stark, pointedly, passionately, but most of all apologetically, "so appreciated right now."

Just so he knew this torture was not entirely in vain.

Was she still going to do terrible things with that Pepto Bismol that no one should have allowed into her hands? Of course! But was she at least going to feel bad about it?

Kinda.

Okay, yes. But the damage was already done, sooooooo.....

"Good," Stark told her with a weak smile. Because he knew her and he was Concerned.

"I'm glad you are. And you should. I'm feeling very... nervous."

Tahani was going to experiment with rose water because she was very fancy. It would taste a little like sucking on potpourri, but one must try new things!

"I haven't tried roses before," Stark said. "Other flowers but not roses yet. I hope yours turns out well."

Steph was just gonna try the rhubarb today. This was probably going to end -- not badly exactly, but not well.

"I can help if you like," Stark offered. "Or not."

"Sure, that'd be cool," Steph agreed. She held up a stalk of rhubarb. "Somehow this doesn't look anything like what I expected?"

"It doesn't look like it ought to work in a cupcake," Stark agreed. "I've had it in pie, with strawberries, so it does taste good."

It could taste good, anyway.

"Yeah, but doesn't it take some work to get it to that point?" asked Steph, who might be regretting her choices just a little bit here.

He's here for it!

9 days left with the kids. Really 8.5.

Maybe I'll make it to the end of the year...
