Sweet ~ Erin and Lily

Just a simple day like most any other here in this boring, boxed in town that Erin wasted her life with. Most of her treats that she gave herself with sour and tangy but today was rather chaotic without her help so she felt more in a smooth textured feeling. Overly sweetened icing, under cooked cupcake base, baked goods were just calling her name.

She entered into the nearest bakery. “Bake My Day” was enough to make Erin cringe but held it back as per usual. She stepped up to the counter, glancing over the chases of overly decorated sweets before turning back to the woman over the other side of the counter. 

"Hello there." Her voice like her own little frosting on top.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Lily had her hands busy lately. Her little cover project 'Bake My Day' was getting popular. In any other circumstance, that could have been considered a good thing. All except for the fact that it was keeping her from doing actual police work, and the 'darker' side of Storybrooke wasn't exactly walking through her doors.

As if on cue, the bell rang out and Lily peeked over the counter. It wasn't someone she recognized. Lily quickly closed up a box, dusting off her baby blue dress as she approached the customer. "Hiya! Sorry, I had my hands full. Welcome to Bake My Day. What can I do you for?"

Move Your Keister, Mister! || Earthquake || Thatcher & Lily

Months of training on emergency procedures and survival tactics were often left pointless. She'd never expected to actually be caught in an Earthquake. Fire, maybe. Flood? Sure. But when the ground began to rumble beneath Lily's feet, the building groaning as screams sung out in the air, she found herself perplexed as what was going on. It wasn't until a voice rung out that Lily picked up what on Earth was going on.

"Earthquake!"

The magic word knocked Lily out of her stunned daze, dropping her plate as she bolted towards the closest door. Even with tall heels, Lily kept perfect grace and pace, clearing obstacles with ease. A part of the floor had busted, a large hole in the floor breaking open. She'd make it. She knew it. It wasn't even much of a leap. Except, well, she hadn't expected someone to collide with her in the dazed panic. Lily's path was broken, tripping and falling through the hole. She landed harshly on her side, groaning and shifting to sit up. Someone was beside her. Whether they'd been the one that had ran into her, or someone she'd suddenly 'dropped in on', she didn't know. However, the ground beneath her had stopped rumbling, and silence had settled in.

"You okay there, honey?"

Bake My Day || Lily & Jane

[strangerslike-us-deactivated201]

Jane smiled at the woman nodding “okay” she said walking away from the counter to take a seat at one of the small tables. After sitting down she took a moment and looked around the shop. It was cute and homey. She would have to come here more often. She then heard the woman announcing her order was ready. She walked back over to the counter. “Thank you. How much will they be?” she asked pulling her wallet out of her purse.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Here you go," Lily complied, placing the box on the counter. "Just be careful with the box. Don't want to damage the precious lil' guys." Ringing it up in the register, she smiled brightly, "Nine dollars, honeybun! You'll have to come back and tell me if they were any good."

Grand Ball - Right || Grand Ball || Victoria & Lily

[heywannafight]

Victoria had a plate of food in front of her and she was whole heartedly enjoying it. They had mozzarella sticks, and other finger foods. Victoria’s plate was full of ‘cheese dreams’ which were basically bread cut up small and covered in some cheese sauce, seared beef tenderloin finger sandwiches, meatballs, Mini bacon quiches, even shrimp. It all smelled so good she couldn’t resist.

She looked up at the woman, stared a moment, hoping she would just turn and leave but— unfortunately for Victoria she didn’t. She stayed put. “Yeah— whatever.” She had food. Hopefully that meant she’d sit in silence and leave her be.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Thank you," Lily replied, taking a seat happily. "Pardon me, but I don't really know anyone here and everywhere else is so crowded." She explained, looking around at the overly crowded tables. Everyone seemed so excited to dance. Perhaps Lily would feel more inclined to join in if the music wasn't slow, and if the food wasn't so tempting. "I'm Lily, by the way. The food looks so good." She breathed in deeply, unsure on what to try first, oblivious to the others desire for Lily to keep quiet.

Bake My Day || Max & Lily

[fatedestinyah0rse-deactivated20]

Max’s eyes slowly widened at all the different flavors. He had no idea there was so much variety in cupcakes. He thought there was chocolate and vanilla. When she said apple pie cupcakes Max smiled wide an nodded. “That sounds perfect. Apple pie cupcake. Actually, could I get a half dozen of those. They sound amazing.”

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Sure thing!" She pipped, already preparing a box. "Cute little things, really. They have chunks of apple and a puff pastry crust on the top that's layered with icing. So when you take a bit, there's that nice crunch of pastry. They are a-may-zing!" She straightened up, collecting herself and appearing more professional. "But I'll let you be the judge of that, of course." Lily prepared the cupcakes, closing the lid carefully. "Make sure not to tilt it or put pressure on the lid, or you might smear the icing. That'll be fifteen dollars, sweatheart."

Nice Shot {Day 5} || Sally & Lily

[restlessragdoll]

Sally’s game finished shortly after Lily’s and she sighed as it chimed something about a winner. Though, she hadn’t hit them all she’d gotten a pretty good score and was completely content with that. However, the other redhead caught her attention quickly and she smiled. “Yes, I’d like that!” She nodded happily. “Do they have coffee stands at carnivals? I’ve never heard of that…” Then again they last time she’d been to a carnival was when she was rather young.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Food stands," Lily explained, already making her way towards the closest stand. "Not exactly the best coffee around. Actually it's pretty," Lily ran a finger across her throat, before tilting her head in a 'dead' manner, only to spring back up an instant later. "But they're addictive none-the-less. And not so bitter if  you ask for six sugars." Lily rushed up to the front of the stand, standing tall in childlike excitement. "One tall coffee with six sugars, please."

Got Cake? || Topher & Lily

[tophernottmorr]

Topher grinned at the laugh he got from the woman, deciding that for an adult, she was pretty cool. “Kill the cupcakes? Nobody’s that heartless!” he shrugged slightly, “B’sides, I don’t want to kill ‘em by cooking, so why’d I hurt them by rampaging?” His nose crinkled slightly when she told him not to let his inability to cook stop him, “I don’t like dealing with fire, I nearly burnt down the high school once on a dare, and after that I’ve tried to avoid fire and all things burn-y.” He looked at the box, carefully reaching out to pick them up, focusing on what he was doing so he wouldn’t jar the box and ruin them, “Thank you so much!”

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"I don't know," she mused, looking at the ceiling thoughtfully. "Wouldn't eating cupcakes count as killing them? It's not like they're going to survive the ordeal." Lily looked back at the young man once more, eyes wide in shock. "Oh dear. I hope you weren't hurt. It's smart to learn from mistakes, but I hope you don't let it hold you back." Smiling brightly, clasped her hands together. "Not a problem, darling! Now, I'm sure you have better things to do on your special day. But I'm glad I could help put a little chipper in your day."

[heywannafight]

Grand Ball - Right || Grand Ball || Victoria & Lily

Why did she choose to put herself through this again? She wasn’t entirely sure. It was the ball, again. This year was twice as formal as the previous and honestly her dress looked silly. But here she was, seated at a table in the little food area. Hey— at least the food was good this year.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Lily was a food enthusiast in her own mind. Sure, she never really had the time to over eat, and surprisingly enough she was able go through a day at work without pinching a cupcake or two. But when it came to balls and such with free food, she really couldn't help herself. She'd come to mingle, truthfully. It was a part of her job, getting to the nitty-gritty of the town. There were a few odd characters she had her eyes on, such as the mayor and the fellow named Gold. She'd hoped to officially meet them at the ball, however she couldn't spot them in the crowd, and the food table was oh so tempting.

She slowly made her way to the table, trying not to look quite as food crazed as she was. Creeping closer, she smiled slyly before taking a plate and taking a fair amount of food. Smiling at her haul, she headed to the least crowded table. "Mind if I sit here, honey?" She asked a rather sullen looking girl.

Bake My Day || Lily & Jane

[strangerslike-us-deactivated201]

"Well, I can tell you everything smells wonderful" she smiled at the woman’s joke. "Mmm, that sounds delicious, I’ll take three. If I got one for myself without getting some my father and sister, they would be mighty upset"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Perfect!" Lily called, grinning proudly at her kind words. As she ordered, Lily nodded happily. "Of course! Can't forget the family. If you want to take a seat, it'll just take me a couple minutes to box them for you. They're cooling down now." Giving a small clap, she spun on her heels and headed to the back door. "Three freshly baked cupcakes coming right up!" Walking into the backroom, she prepared a box and the icing, applying it to the mostly cooled cupcakes before packing three of them for the woman. Smiling to herself, she closed the lids and brought them back to the front, "Got 'em!"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Bake My Day || Max & Lily

[fatedestinyah0rse-deactivated20]

"That’s really clever!" Max loved a good pun. His sense of humor was a little dry. A little embarrassed at his mistake, Max nodded his head in understanding. "I didn’t realize, that’s on me. But I’m sure the cupcakes are great. Could I get two please? Are there any special ones I should think about getting?"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"It's all fine, sweetie," she waved it off, glancing down at the display case with a wide variety of cupcakes. "Well it all depends on what you have a hankering for! Something good and simple; like vanilla, chocolate, banana? Or something a little more fancy; like velvet, cinnamon and apple, carrot, cookies and cream, strawberry lemonade, peanut butter, mocha? Those ones are delicious! The Irish cream is perfect too. Or tiramisu.." She paused looking perplexed, before shooting the man an apologetic look. "I'm not much help, sorry. Maybe the apple pie cupcake?"

[tophernottmorr]

Got Cake? || Topher & Lily

[tophernottmorr]

"Thanks!" Topher grinned, laughing softly at her sarcasm. He rocked back and forth on heels slightly as he waited for her to ring up the cupcakes, not wanting to take a bite until everything was payed of and settled. He wouldn’t feel comfortable otherwise.

"I would never ever purposely burn cupcakes. That’s, like, a sin. It’s why I never bake, ruining cupcakes is one of the worst things I could think of!” he gasped dramatically, trying to look hurt at her thinking he would even consider harming baked goods. He really wouldn’t, Topher tried not to harm the things he loved. Just like his guitar. He tried really hard.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Lily snorted a laugh, bringing her hand up to cover her mouth as she giggled. "Well I'm glad. The cupcakes of Earth are spared by the fire breathing menace. Aww, sweetie," she shook her head, grinning at the man, "Don't let that hold you back! It's not so hard baking cupcakes, and when you do, that means they're nice and warm when you eat them. Nothing quite like a freshly baked cupcake. Now," Lily tapped the boxed goods with a finger, grinning, "they're officially bought, so you've got nothing to worry about. Enjoy them, Birthday boy."

Nice Shot {Day 5} || Sally & Lily

[restlessragdoll]

Sally giggled, listening to the other red head and her valiant fight against the fake rodents. Her eyes were focused, whacking each mole, perhaps it was the hand and eye coordination that came through sewing, and designing. But she was good, maybe not perfect and her aim wasn’t spot on. But she hit them pretty well each time. Nearly missing one but catching it just by the nose as it was pulled back into the ‘mole holes’. This game she wasn’t so bad at. But if you put her on basket ball or such? She was terrible. “I’m doing good!” A glance up caused her to falter and miss one, but she wasn’t upset and laughed it off, whacking the next one with vengeance.

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Lily was a tad over enthusiastic, whacking each mole with playful malice. She loved the quick pace of the game; the concentration and fluid movement needed to win it. She poked her tongue out from the corner of her lips, brows furrowed in deep concentration as she vigorously fought the little moles. The game ended all too fast for her, a small 'aww' escaping her as the game finished. "Ah, well, fun can't last forever I suppose! Hey," She turned back to Sally, eyes shining brightly in thought, "Want to go get a coffee? I'm sure there's a stand around here somewhere."

Bake My Day || Lily & Jane

[strangerslike-us-deactivated201]

"Hello, I was just passing by, and I smelled something that smells absolutely delicious" Jane told the cheerful woman with a smile. "What is that wonderful smell?"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Well I'd hope everything smells divine," Lily joked, looking towards the back room. "Buuut what you're smelling might be my new batch of chocolate lave velvet cupcakes. A lovely woman let me try one awhile ago, and let me tell you, it was gorgeous! So I thought I'd give it a shot. They should be ready, but they are a wee bit hot. Would you like one?"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Bake My Day || Lily & Sophia

[seeking-violet]

Sophia had a sweet tooth. Always since she was a little girl, she blamed her father, sneaking her treats whenever possible. Her mother on the other hand hated when she and her sister ate sweets, scoffing at them, so they became sneaky about it. But today, today her mother was gone, off with some new boyfriend or something and Sophia was in a pleasant mood. She strolled into Bake My Day, the bell jiggled and she shuffled to the counter. “Hello. Just, uhh, just come in for a cupcake or two….”

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Well I think I might just have a couple," she joked, an array of cupcakes on display. "What are you looking for, sweetie? Chocolate? Strawberry? Or perhaps something on the fancy side?" She asked, looking down into the glass display. "Take your pick!"

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

Bake My Day || Max & Lily

[fatedestinyah0rse-deactivated20]

Max was hoping to get a pie or something to drop off with his mom. Sheriff Richards had been a little under the weather as his mother put it, and Max thought that a pie might be something nice to pick up for the both of them.

"Hi, great name by the way. I’m just looking to pick up a pie."

[actuallykindoffreakingout]

"Thank you. Picked it myself," she replied with a wink, grinning ear to ear. She did love the name of her little cover job. What could she say, she was a sucker for puns! Lily's grin faltered at his words, blinking in shock. "Oh. Oh, honey, not that kind of bakery. I only have cupcakes. And a few cakes for special occasions," she explained, looking at him sympathetically.
