[It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake. Unless you're Ami Mizuno

[ where there's baking there's generally a Makoto to be found, and this time is no exception. This Ami looks a bit different to the one she knows, but she quickly remembers that there's several alternate Ami-chans that look like this, which brings a huge smile to her face as she approaches. ]

Woah, Ami-chan, these look great! Did you make them all just then?

[dress_up_genius]

Wha? Mako-chan... Ah, don't eat from those plates! They're bad. This batch seems okay though... Still a bit warm though.

[Going to her batter bowl to make yet another batch~]

[herculeansenshi]

[ still ogling at the cookies. ]

What are they for?

[dress_up_genius]

Um, I'm just practicing, that's all.

[Lying Ami is a liar, lol. Blushing too.]

[herculeansenshi]

[ notices the blush and looks faintly quizzical for a moment before bending down slightly to examine the cookies. She smiles widely again. ]

Ami-chan, you're being modest. Even for practice batches these are great.

[dress_up_genius]

Mm, I guess... But I really want them to be perfect. Or, you know, close to it. It's important.

[Suddenly realizes she's said too much, clams up.]

[herculeansenshi]

[ and another quizzical glance, but luckily for Ami, Makoto totally misinterprets the tenacity. ]

You know, Ami-chan's schoolwork is perfect, but you really like to be impeccable with everything else too, right? [ maybe teasing a liiiittle, but said very nicely. ]

[dress_up_genius]

[A small laugh.] Mou, that's not true!

[herculeansenshi]

[ leans forward onto the counter, propping her weight onto the palms of her hands, grinning ]

Well, there's nothing wrong with that! Besides, if Ami-chan started baking more often, I'm sure our friends wouldn't complain, right?

[dress_up_genius]

Mm... Thanks, Mako-chan.

[Dropping spoon-size dough on baking tray now.]

Good consistency... Maybe I finally have it...

[herculeansenshi]

[ tilts her head to the side, watching Ami ]

Hm. Is this a recipe you made up yourself?

[dress_up_genius]

Well, that is, I remembered the cookies my mom made when I was younger... I found and memorized the recipe, but... I wanted to add my own touch, so I used... This.

[She holds up a container of cinnamon.]

[herculeansenshi]

Ah, that's a clever touch! [ looking through all the other ingredients, then back at the mixture, then, grinning half-sheepishly, ] Can I taste the batter?

[dress_up_genius]

Sure! Mind the chocolate chips, they're still a bit hard...

[herculeansenshi]

[ and of course she'd stuck her finger into the bowl as soon as Ami said 'sure', which means the warning about the chocolate chips come at the exact moment she's biting down on one. She does that thing where you expect something to be soft, so you bite down a lot harder than you should, and... ]

Owwww... I think you're right about that, Ami-chan.

[dress_up_genius]

[She winces.]

I'm sorry, Mako-chan... I kept the chips in the fridge, so...
