Christmas (and Chanukah) in June
“You know what we need?” said Toby, one random day in June. “Christmas cookies.”
His teammates all blinked at him for a moment, then Gryff said, “Okay. What kind?”
They each picked one type and made their grocery list, then spread their ingredients out on the kitchen table.
“Okay,” said Gryff, in the same tone she used for giving orders in the field, “Levi and I will measure ingredients. Toby, you’re our engineer, you’re on the mixer. Then Lee and I again for rolling and/or cutting. And Jason, you’re in charge of the oven.”
“Right,” said Toby. “Can we do the snickerdoodles first?”
They worked just as well in the kitchen as they did off-world, moving seamlessly around each other, often without needing any words. In only a couple of hours, they had covered every flat surface in the kitchen and living room with tea towels full of cooling cookies.
Levi was snacking on a few of the chocolate kisses from Gryff’s peanut butter cookies, as he rolled balls of sugar cookie dough in red-and-green and white-and-blue sugar.
“Oh, hey, Chanukah cookies!” said Toby. He’d started washing dishes when the last batch of dough had been mixed, and hadn’t been paying attention to the rest of the process. “Nice.”
“Adds a bit of color,” said Levi.
“You know what we need to go with all of these, sir?” asked Jason, cheeks flushed pink from leaning over the oven all afternoon. “Ice cream.”
The rest of SG-22 beamed at him.
“I like the way you think, Jase,” said Gryff, and went to get them some bowls.
