[ORP] Something's Cookin'! (Laughter)

[Luafien]

TART huffed, head held aloft at her sister's clear violation of the chain of command. TART was obviously higher-ranking, she had invaded Knot's kitchen first, after all. Her little stance of huffieness ended when she realized everyone had left her to go back inside, the filly blinking before scrambling over her hooves to scamper into the kitchen.

"I suppose cake is fine. And sprinkles, as long as they're used tastefully."

"Sprinkles are for cupcakes," Knots said as though it were written law, but she couldn't remember quite from where she heard it from. Probably the school cafeteria.

"A cake should get things like lemon zest or chocolate shavings, fancy schmancy things like that," Knots said, pulling more ingredients out from the refrigerator.

The kitchen was quickly becoming more and more cluttered.

Boho got suddenly quiet. "Um. Do... we have to shave the chocolate ourselves? Because... dad, uh... I'm... nooooooooooot exactly supposed to have razors. Not after what, uh... yeah. Let's go with lemons!" She dove into the fridge herself, digging for a lemon to zest. Whatever the heck that meant.

As things flew out of the fridge, Warp Nine began to gather them up and place them on the counter. The gangly colt held an armful of fruit and various utensils, looking for a wooden spoon or a whisk with which he could eventually stir. He tried to nab things as they flew through the air. "Careful!" he called to the pink one. "You'll hit somebo- watch that asparagus! Don't throw it at your sister!"

In Knot's fervor, she had tried to pick up a verylarge sack of flour herself. But with one slipped grip, it tore open and flew upwards all in one motion. A sudden burst of soft white flour exploded into the air, sending flour shrapnel over anyone near her within a three yard radius.

"Oh, bloody h-!" the rest of sack fell to the flour and was pushed upwards, sending flour in an upwards spurt onto Knot's face.

"What treachery is this, sister?" shrieked Bohemian Raspberry as a miniature mushroom cloud of white powder dusted the kitchen. "Carpet bombing the whole place just to get at me? I might have known!" She hurled the lemon at her sister, but blinded by the fog of war- or flour- the lemon went wide and squashed on the ground just in front of her, the sticky juice splashing everywhere.

"HULL BREACH!" Warp Nine shouted as flour went everywhere. The gangly pegasus colt hit the deck, ducking the flour. The breeze from his wings sent the flour in a gusty wave towards the three fillies. If he'd tried, he couldn't have come up with a better way to get them completely covered.

Covered in flour, she looked like a horned ghost. She looked around and was about to saw something when juice spattered over her head. Knots was quickly becoming more and more sticky as the liquid intermixed with the flour.

"Hey! That's not how you coo-!" falls over in the sticky lemon globs of dough.

Knots looks around at the havoc wreaked within the kitchen. Pulling clumps of flour and juice from her hair, the others scattering food and things throughout the kitchen, and then...

She let out a laugh. About the biggest laugh she'd ever done in a very long time. At first it bubbled up like a regular laugh, but as she took in more and more of the situation, it grew stronger and stronger. Soon tears were rolling down her cheeks from how funny the situation was.

"We're gonna get in SO much trouble!" she wheezed, wiping her eyes and getting more flour stuck to her eyelashes. "Maybe we should clean this up before anyone else finds out and we all get grounded until we're thirty years old."

That day Knots learned that laughter and humor helped deal with situations like this. Indecision could be frustrating, but with a little laughter it could ease the tension and help you step back and look at what needs to be done.

Boho froze at the sound of Knots' laughter. At first, she thought the little green unicorn was going to scream or yell at them for making such a mess- but when she started giggling, well, it got pretty infectious. Soon Boho found herself laughing along.

"Here, let me help," she said, carefully dusting off her sister and pushing the flour on the floor towards the wastebasket. She was extremely glad that everybody was laughing it off. If they couldn't see the humor in the situation, there might have been some seriously hurt feelings, she supposed, and so this way- laughing at it- was definitely much better.


When Warp Nine finally stopped panicking, he looked down at the mess. Oh man. At first he thought he was going to get yelled at, but then everybody started laughing. Nervously, he chuckled, too, then started helping clean up the sticky mess. When the girls stopped paying attention to him, he jumped out the open window and dashed away.

Warp Nine had learned two things that day. One: laughter was a great way to stop fights. For a while, it kind of looked like two of the girls were going to fight, but the comedy of it all defused the situation. He filed this away in his mind; it was a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.

But he'd definitely never forget the other lesson he'd learned that day. Lesson two: Girls are completely insane and should probably be avoided at all costs.



[[We wrapping up? Cool!]]

Dirty, TART was completely dirty, and not even in the fun pudding wrestling sort of way her father had told her stories about. Caked head to hoof in flour and it was horrible, absolutely awful. She paced back, ready to let the other fillies and colts what-for, when she bumped right into the kitchen island. The island rocked back and the contents on it tipped forward, and sprinkles rained down on her, shutting her off mid-breath.

Stunned, she looked between herself, Boho and Delta, staring as they started to giggle and laugh. It was absolutely infectious, there was no halting the giggles bubbling up in her chest.

“Looks like we’ll be having sprinkles after all!”

(Dooon't mind me here, long-overdue TART wrap up @_@ )
