"I know we've covered alcohol in this class already," said Summer, which sounded like a promising start to the class already, didn't it?, "but I want to bring it back a little bit, because it compliments this other idea I came across which gives us beer and sauerkraut fudge cupcakes, and, you know what? There's a lot to be said about fermented foods in cupcakes."

Even if the less said, the better, probably.

“I can think of some things to say,” Stark agreed dryly. “I'm not sure I ought to though.”

"This is a classroom setting, after all!" Summer agreed cheerfully, and then proceeded to do things that no one should ever do in a classroom setting or any setting at all in life ever.

"And you can't talk fermented without also talking of pickled," she stated, "which is why we've also got both kim chi and pickle cupcakes!"

Lucky, lucky you!

“You did all this yesterday when you weren't feeling well?” Stark asked suspiciously. “It didn't make things worse? Couldn't we just have beer cupcakes without anything else?”

"No," said Summer, which answered both questions. "I did it all this morning! Oh. And pickled beets, too!"

“You woke up that early? And why?”

Because she could, Stark. Obviously.

“I found a recipe,” Stark continued “for beer cupcakes with Irish cream frosting that I could have made for you…Too bad.”

Like you've been pickled!

Let some of that new knowledge ferment.

If you mix all the weird ingredients together you might get a prize for grossest cupcake.

They are not fermented or pickled. At least not this morning...

Stark was not pickled or fermented at all. He'd only had a couple of drinks last night!

Summer's poor liver might be fermented or pickled by the time she's thirty, but right now? In surprisingly good shape, especially considering how she was yesterday.

Summer could probably get a new space liver though. She'd be fine. Probably.

"You're terrible," he said very fondly. "All of these sound gross."

Or she could a robotic one! That's what Rick had!

"Surprisingly," Summer snorted with amusement, "I actually had trouble finding one with these ingredients that wasn't disgusting! So, you know....you're welcome."

There was then a little bit of preening. Maybe even a ponytail flip.

"Told you I'd be fine by today."

Space robotic liver? Robotic space liver?

Stark shook his head at her but he was watching that ponytail flip.

"You're always fine," he said. "I just don't like you to have to feel terrible."

Even if was entirely a case of 'oh no look at the consequences of my own actions'

Summer gave Stark a little bit of a look that seemed to be saying 'yeah, good luck with that,' but what she actually said was, "Well, thank you, Stark. I mean, I totally knew what I was getting myself into, but I appreciate the concern."

"Was the weekend worth it?" Stark asked after a moment. "Worth yesterday? Or are you thinking of changes for next year?"

"Definitely worth it," Summer confirmed without even a second to consider any other possible answer and a fond grin as she thought back on the weekend (or what she could remember of it). "And I don't know, I might mix it up and hit up a different city next year, but that's, like, so long from now, who even knows where I'll be by then?

"But, hey," she added, "I did find us a good bar for your first Irish pub. Or, well. Irish-American, anyway. Ooh, wait! Maybe we should just portal to Ireland instead, get real authentic with it?"

"Who knows," Stark echoed. He was just going to not think too hard on that.

"And...we could try both? If you wanted to. Go to Ireland and then another one closer to home? I've never been there. Just for a bar? Or a longer trip?"

Summer was looking at Stark again, with a pause that seemed to be giving him a moment to see if he could anticipate what she was going to say next before she said it.

And then she did say it.

"Do you want to try to hit up both? And would you want to just pop in for the bar? Or a longer trip?"

"I would like to try both. And it would make sense to go for longer, wouldn't it?"

Sure, travel time was negligible when you had Portals at your disposal but still.

"I do like going places with you. New places especially."

"Well, then," said Summer, "looks like we're hitting up that bar in Baltimore and then taking a weekend in Ireland sometime, aren't we?"

Stark flashed her a bright smile. "We are. Good. I'm glad. I'll have to try and research Ireland. I don't really know anything about it."
