Second floor common room: Saturday morning

[anextimeagent]

It didn't take long to get from Jack's room to the common room if you were running really, really fast, and he and Sam pelted through the door at exactly the same time.

Jack dropped her hand and danced a little dance of triumph. "Told you you weren't faster than me!"

A black panther skidded into the common room, then turned and ran back out again. This was repeated several times, till finally a laughing girl with long hair flying came running in behind him. "You are very fast, Jim!" she said and hugged him hard around the neck. "And look! You found food!"

"Hi! Hi!" she said to the other kids there. "Did you make me some breffast, too?"

[anextimeagent]

"Hi!" Jack waved a very sticky hand at her and grinned from his spot in front of the TV. "Nope, just made breakfast for Sammie 'n me. But I can make you some waffles if you want." He frowned hard at the kitty. "Don't think there's enough for your kitty cat."

[lovelylana]

Lana smiled at him. "Yes, thank you. Could you make me some waffles, please." Then she looked over at Panther!Jim and laughed. "That's not a kitty! That's my panther! His name is Jim. And I don't think he eats waffles. I have to find him steak or something."

She wrinkled her brow, thinking very hard. "I don't know how to do that but maybe after breffast I can figure it out."

[anextimeagent]

"Kay!" He put down his waffle (having long since abandoned the fork) and wiped his hands on his jeans. "Come on. We gotta go in the kitchen and watch the light on the maker." he trotted into the kitchen and started to clamber up onto the counter. "'n a panther's a kitty, it's just a really big kitty!"

Cedric toddled down a few floors. It didn't take him that long but the stairs were big and he was small and he had to remember to hold onto the railing.

He smelled food. Something sweeeeeeeeeeeet. So, into the common room he rushed, looking around for doughnuts or candy.

[anextimeagent]

Jack grinned when he saw him come rushing in. "Cedric!" he gleed and pelted over, still all floury, with bits of waffle batter on his shirt and face all sticky with syrup. "We're watching cartoons an' havin' waffles." He bounced from foot to foot. "Want some? They've got peanut butter and chocolate chips! And there's syrup! A whole bottle!"

[chasingsnitches]

"Okay," he said and then pointed at Jack's shirt. "You messy. Messy clothes are bad."

[anextimeagent]

Jack pouted. "But I got messy makin' waffles. If I didn't get messy, there wouldn't be any, so sometimes messy is good!"

[justmisplaced]

It's a day that ends in 'y' and there's food to be had. Shawn is so very there.

"Aw, waffles," he grinned, making a beeline for potential food. "Awesome."

[anextimeagent]

"And cartoons! And syrup." Though the level in the bottle was rapidly decreasing. "Hi!"

[justmisplaced]

"Hi!" Shawn was distracted momentarily from his goal of 'food, now' by people. "What kinda cartoons?"

[anextimeagent]

"Bitterwoman! She fights bad guys, and sometimes she's really mad at boys. Want waffles?"

[otherside_miley]

Miley yawned as she came into the common room and looked around. "Messy!"

[anextimeagent]

"Waffles!" Jack crowed in response. As far as he was concerned, it was an answer to everything. "Hi!"

[otherside_miley]

"Hi!" Miley giggled. "Can y'all make wafflers for me?"

[anextimeagent]

"Sure! I'm the best waffler ever!" Jack bounced to his feet, climbed over the couch instead of going around it, then up onto the counter.

It's possible all the sugar was getting to him.

[snarkyprincess]

Summer bounced into the common room in search of cartoons. She smiled when she spotted food. "Ooh, waffles!"

[anextimeagent]

Jack waved from where he was standing on top of the counter. "Yup! With good stuff in 'em."

[snarkyprincess]

"Those are the best kind," Summer said happily.

[anextimeagent]

Jack had gotten smart and made a bunch, so there were lopsided and kinda lumpy waffles stacked haphazardly on the counter, and Jack pointed at them. "Want one?"
