Little Dipper Campfire [evening]

[weefeetbigboots]

Kaylee...was not the best cook. But! Given what she'd been able to scrounge up, sweet-wise, she was doing just fine, thank you. She'd managed to locate a fair amount of candy and fresh fruit, and while her attempts to roast things over the fire weren't going very well (gummi bears, it turned out, were kinda melty), she was determined to at least

Lois was beginning to realize that if she walked around a little there would be somebody around with food. Said somebody was usually more than willing to share. Lois would never have to cook again. This was great news not only for her, but for the entire world as a whole.

"Hey stranger," Lois said, sitting down on a log near the campfire.

"Hiya!" Kaylee said cheerfully, holding out a bag of marshmallows. "Want a white...sweet thingie?"

[armybrat_lois]

"Sure! I love those thingies," Lois said. She grabbed herself a handful of marshmallows and popped one into her mouth. "I know you from somewhere. You're in that auto mechanics class with me, aren't you?"

[weefeetbigboots]

She nodded happily. "I'm Kaylee!" she said, waving cheerfully.

"What're you making?" Ned asked, stepping outside of the cabin with Digby on his heels. "That's not gremlin, is it?"

[weefeetbigboots]

"Nooo, it's...melty," she told him, frowning at the stick over the fire, which had originally had some licorice stuck to the end of it.

[death_and_pies]

"Very melty," he observed as he took a seat. "Is it supposed to be melty?"

[weefeetbigboots]

"I don't think so," she mused. "I'm not used to the food here, so I was experimentin'."

Romeo came back from work and, after a quick shower, wandered out to the campfire and took a gummi worm. "Will these roast, do you think?"

[weefeetbigboots]

"The bears didn't," she told him, eyeing the worm appraisingly. "You can try, though!"

[withoutverona]

"It might be like fishing?" Romeo said gingerly, threading the worm onto a stick. "Only without the fish."

[weefeetbigboots]

"And with burnin' sugar," she giggled.

"Hello!" Katara called with a wave, far too happy to not see Worf at the campfire. "Ooh, are you making s'mores?"

[weefeetbigboots]

"What's a s'more?" Kaylee asked, eyes widening. "They sound good."

[southernbender]

"It's such a good thing!" Katara said. "You have to toast the marshmallows over the fire, then you make a sandwich with graham crackers and chocolate."

[weefeetbigboots]

Kaylee stared. "That sounds like the best thing ever. We don't have none of that stuff at home. Well, chocolate, but not so much 'less you're in the core and I'm not...ever. Do we have graham crackers, whatever they are?"

"Hello," Worf said to everyone at the campfire.

Except Katara who he was not looking at. "May I join you all as a fellow Little Dipper cabinmate."

[weefeetbigboots]

"Hiya!" Kaylee said cheerily, without looking up just yet. "We're eatin' marshmallows."

[sonofmogh]

"I see. Are we partaking of the ancient tradition of roasting them over the campfire?" Worf asked.

[weefeetbigboots]

"Ancient trad --"

Kaylee looked up, and stopped mid-sentence. But it seemed impolite to point out that he had a big growth...thingie on his head, so she kept going. "...ition? You from 'round here?"
