✰ seven ribbons; today I'll even split all my fun in half with you ( phone )

[wonribbons]

[After school, a little before lunch-time, Dawn picks up the phone cheerfully, her voice sounding as if she had accomplished something amazing, which, truth be told, she did.]

Um... hi, Mayfield! Dawn here. Anyway, I've been practicing baking cookies -- and well, I know this sounds silly, but the drone mom here kind of helped a bit, and we may

[Free cookies? He'd never turn down something free, especially if it was delicious, so he heads on over, and knocks on the door.]

[wonribbons]

[She then opens the door...] Oh, hi!

[all_ofthethings]

I got your call about free cookies. Thought I'd take some off your hands.

[wonribbons]

Huh? Oh... sure! Go ahead! You can come right in. [pause.] They're on the table over there.

[all_ofthethings]

[He walks in and over to the table.]

These smell pretty good.

[He's about to pick one up when he remembers his manners.]

[wonribbons]

Well, I hope they do. I worked really hard on them!

And it's nice to meet you, Greed!

[all_ofthethings]

You, too.

[He looks at the different types of cookies again.]

Is it okay if I take a few of each? And you said the drone lady helped make them?

[He's wondering if he can get his drone wife to make desserts.]

[wonribbons]

Sure, go ahead! [A beat.] And she helped with the first few-- the rest of them I made myself.

[all_ofthethings]

Well, you did a good job.

[He picks up a couple of each.]

So, uh, why all the baking?

[wonribbons]

Well... I was actually planning on learning how to cook since, um, one of my friends can't really do it- and our friend, who, um... [She hesitates] cooked for us isn't here.

So I decided to start with something easy!

[all_ofthethings]

Oh.

[He feels kind of bad now.]

Well, I'm sure you'll be a great cook, if you ever need a taste tester I'm more than willing to give it a try.

[Free food, of course he'd suggest it and volunteer.]

[wonribbons]

Really? That's great! [Dawn feels really excited about this...]

[all_ofthethings]

[He nods.]

It's kind of creepy eating dinner with all the drones in my house.

[wonribbons]

Yeah, it is. I have two drones in the house, but that doesn't make things easier...

[all_ofthethings]

Two is better than three. Least no one expects you to be their dad.

[wonribbons]

... Yeah, I guess so, huh.
