"Hey, Claire!" Molly called. "Wow, you got a head start, huh?"

[savedfornow]

"Hey, Molly."

Claire glanced up, a bag of blue icing in her hand still.

"Well, I missed it yesterday, and I thought I'd make up for it."

[bruiser_in_pink]

Molly giggled. "You missed some interesting cookies yesterday. I think the fifth floor might be a bit jealous when they find out what fourth is getting."

[savedfornow]

"It's my Mom's recipe," Claire said, and picked up an uniced cookie to toss to Molly. "When I told her there was camp, she got all excited and emailed me all her cookie hints."

River appeared in the fourth floor common room, quietly watiching Claire. Finally she said: "Impressive."

[savedfornow]

Claire wasn't really paying attention until River spoke, which was why she jumped and squirted yellow frosting across three cookies at once.

"Thanks," she said, amused.

[moonbrain_tam]

River smiled. "Reminds you of home."

[savedfornow]

A beat, and Claire smiled back. "Yeah," she admits. "It does."

Which was why she did most of the work on her own.

Buffy showed up a little after River, having woken up when she left the room. "Hey guys!" She waved happily, before yawning hugely. "Um. Sorry."

[savedfornow]

"Hey, Buffy," Claire said, lifting a plat of cookies up in triumph. "Cookie?"

[1ordinarygirl]

"Definitely," Buffy grinned. "The best breakfast ever." She walked over to Claire so she could grab a cookie. "Have you been up long?"

[savedfornow]

"No," Claire lied, then caught herself in the lie. "Well, yeah. But only cause I like making cookies."

On his way to class, John stopped in the common room to grab a cookie.

[savedfornow]

"Hey, John," Claire said, proffering a plat towards him.

"Old family recipe."

[missed_the_gate]

"Thanks, Claire," John grinned and grabbed a couple cookies. "I'm pleased to see I missed the working part of the cookie party today."

[savedfornow]

"You'd only ruin them," Claire said with a smirk.

Z froze in the doorway. "We have to bake the cookies?" she semi-wailed. "But I can't bake!"

[savedfornow]

"Not today," Claire said. "You missed the cooking this morning. I decided we couldn't take the risk."

[multiplez]

"Oh, good," Z said, sounding relieved. "Can I still eat the cookies, though?"

[savedfornow]

"Sure," Claire said, pushing a plate towards her. "I made too many anyway."
