Piper smiles at the students as they arrive. She kind of already fears for the home ec classroom. "Good morning everyone. I'm Piper, in case some of you don't already know that."

She points out a plate of brownies on the counter. "I usually make samples of the assignments I choose. Today is no exception. As you can see, you're going to bake brownies today."

She hands them each a list of ingredients and instructions. "I try to make the instructions as easy to follow as possible, but, if you ever have questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

Grinning, Sakurazaki reaches in to retrieve it. "I'm not sure if I can handle it!" Chuckle disippating as she straightens, she considers the pan of brownies in her hands before setting it down on the stovetop. Her head tilts. "How can you tell if they're done?"

She can tell that they look signficantly better than her last attempt. She flushes with a proud grin.

"Well, I guess the only way to tell is to find out," Alphonse took a fork and broke off a tiny piece, and after blowing it down for it to cool, popped it in his mouth. "They taste done to me!"

Nervously, Sakurazaki follows Alphonse's example.

"Hey! They're actually edible!" She laughs.

"See? They came out fine!" Alphonse grinned. "Now all that's left is to cut them into a buncha squares."

There's another light laugh. "That's definately my area."

She brandishes a knife and has the brownies cut into perfect squares within a few seconds, accomplished with only a few very swift, consise moves.

Not exactly how her masters imagined her using that technique, but practicality was important, right?

Alphonse, however, was suitably impressed with how she did that. "Well," he started, blinking. "I think we're done!"

"And with little to no casualties!" Sakurazaki pronounces brightly, containing her glee in a clasp of her hands in front of her.

"We can split them, too. Half and half."

She nods, still feeling the dramatic rush of her slicing techniques effecting her. "Puffin Cabin shall eat like kings tonight! Kings will poor diet planning!"

Alphonse laughed. "Sounds like a plan to me!"
