Cupcakes, Friday 6/24, 2nd period

“It’s our last class today,” Stark said. “I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves. And your cupcakes. Even with the strange ingredients that kept appearing. Some of you enjoyed those more than others, I think.” Summer.

“This week I brought something from every week. All of the colors so far, and the rainbow ones. You can choose from all of it, if you like.”

He opened the first box in front of him. “For yellow I have lemons, and bananas, pineapple, yuzu, and,” Stark sighed a little, “ corn.”

He moved on to the second box. “For orange, oranges, orange soda, orange juice, carrots for carrot cake, mango, cantaloupe and for some reason still curry powder and sweet potatoes.”

“For white,” he said, opening the third box and hoping the garlic and onion weren’t there, “we have…onion and garlic.” He sighed and shook his head. “Unfortunately. I was hoping we wouldn’t. I was hoping for just other things. Like marshmallow that I forgot last time. And white chocolate, coconut, cream cheese, egg whites, macadamia nuts, and mayonnaise.”

“For pink we have…oh no. Why. We still have the Pepto Bismol. Even though it isn’t even food. And the shrimp. Of course we do. And the smoked salmon.”

“And there’s pink grapefruit, pink lemonade, dragon fruit, pink Starbursts," rose water and rose petals, pink cream soda from Canada, rhubarb, pink salt and pink peppercorns."

“I’m almost afraid to open the rainbow box,” he admitted. “In case there are new horrors contained within it. Maybe it will just be the rainbow trout? Which should not be combined with any other seafood. Or anything else.” Summer.

“I have candies again, rainbow candies. rainbow Nerds, and Skittles, M&M’s, rainbow sprinkles, and rainbow belts. Both of the rainbow cereals are in here. Food coloring, of course, and the rainbow carrots. And,” another sigh, “mixed vegetables. Again.”

“So many things to choose from. Please make good choices.” Yes, Stark was absolutely looking at Summer when he said that. He didn’t have high hopes but he had to try. “And have fun. I'll be making more rainbow ones. I liked the rainbow ones.”

"No promises," Steph said, because she felt like she always had to disclaim that, "but I'll definitely give it some serious thought."

Steph wasn't flirting with anyone, thank you! (Except she was, but try asking her that.)

She would say it was worth staying for her best friend's sake, though, and that was plenty, right?

"It's not like I can't take quick portal jumps to random places whenever I get the urge to find adventure," she said thoughtfully. "That was actually one of my initial draws to the place."
drumsticksandd20s: (Uh...)

This was perfectly friendly behavior, Stark.

"No, but I found out about it within like an hour of getting here." Because the Portalocity office happened to be one of the first places she'd decided to check out, just because the name amused her. "I did hear about the malfunctions, too, but honestly I just thought they'd make things more interesting."

How else were you going to do things like find the interdimensional-portal-hopping equivalent of the world's largest ball of twine, or other random-ass weird roadside attractions in the middle of nowhere?

In Steph's experience too, even if that experience was just, you know, being a sci-fi media consuming nerd.

"They haven't gone wrong for me yet," Steph said, and she really shouldn't sound almost disappointed about that, but she did. "Guess it's a matter of time, statistically."

Steph spread her hands and shrugged broadly. "Guess we'll see, huh? That's part of the adventure, bro!"

"I mean, I'm happy to take your share," Steph assured him. "It's not everyone's thing, I get it."
