WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO
Morgan Woodburn & Heidi Fischer
prompt: “it slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries”
“Come on, don’t fight with me… you will not win.”
Morgan Woodburn frowned, and gave a little growl, before she allowed herself a triumphant, “Aha!” and grinned. Of course, with no one around, she might have seemed slightly out of place… talking to herself, and fiddling with the countertop machine. She had been poking at it for almost ten minutes now, trying to get it to work with her, and now, it was making a slight humming noise that she suspected, for some reason, was entirely normal. She shrugged back her unruly loose red curls, and took her bottom lip between her teeth. Now… what to do next…
If she registered the approaching sounds or scent, she didn’t react to them, too busy drumming the pads of her fingers on the worktop gently, blue eyes narrowing as she pondered her next move.
In the doorway, Heidi Fischer cocked her blonde head, and said, “What have you got there?”
Morgan turned to the older werewolf and smiled brightly. Heidi was one of her favourite ‘elders’ in the pack, and her carefree expression probably betrayed that fact. Gesturing with one hand to the machine, she announced, “It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries.”
Heidi blinked, and laughed. “Okay then…” She paced into the room. “So what is it?”
Morgan looked at the machine. “I don’t know.”
“And what does it actually do?”
The younger female laughed and shrugged her lean shoulders with a bounce. “I have no idea, but I thought it might be fun to find out.” She grinned, spurring Heidi to laugh again. The blonde female rolled her eyes good-naturedly, and rooted around in one of the bottom cabinets for a minute, before she came back up, brandishing a booklet.
“How about,” she began, “we find out together? But… we read the instructions first.” She started to flick through the pages, smiling to herself, “Something tells me it’s not meant to be making that noise.”
Morgan blinked, and looked at her new ‘toy’. Heidi was probably right. Another shrug disturbed her slim frame.
“And… no more sugar for a while, hmm?”
“Aw…” But still, Morgan smiled, and leaned in to look over the Beta female’s shoulder.
