It took a bit of time, but the perfect spot had finally been found. Parking the navy blue VW Bug was always easy since it wasn’t the biggest car. Somehow Charlie managed to get three giant blankets and four pillows into it. They all decided to tumble out once she opened the trunk. One managed to make it further than the others and she scrambled to get it before it rolled too far. As she ran for it she bumped into a moving body and her cheeks flushed. “Sorry about that I wasn’t looking and well I put way too many blankets in that tiny trunk.” Looking up she smiled at the person. “Happy Pride!” she exclaimed before placing the blanket on her shoulder.

Paloma saw the little blanket roll towards her, bending down to pick it up she didn’t realize that its owner was on its way to grab it. She winced at the bump but kept herself together since it wasn’t such a big deal and a mere accident. “Oh, no worries!” She stood up with the blanket in hand. “Charlie, hey! I feel ten times better that it’s you and not a complete stranger though but sorry about the bumping. Here’s your blanket,” she handed it over.

Scarlett adjusted the sunglasses sitting on her nose before turning it up to the trees. She winced at the already too-present sun beating down on her and she immediately regretted agreeing to participating in this event. “If I had known there would be so much dirt I would have worn different shoes,” she said, toeing her light blue heels into the ground. “I cleared all my appointments for this. How did you convince me to go… bird-watching? I could have been sleeping in until noon.”

“Heels should’ve never been an option in the first place.” Paloma shook her head at her friend, but couldn’t help to let out a small laugh in return to her complaints. “Because I promised you mimosas right after with a side of lots of food so who are you to pass out that opportunity?” She gently nudged her arm. “Besides, who often do you go bird watching? Probably never. I mean neither do I really so it seemed like a grand opportunity.”

hii sorry I've been mia these past few days, this week started rough but I should be around. I’m going to put non-event threads on pause for now but they’re in my drafts for when the event is over!

“If your parents put that much pressure on you knowing it isn’t your strong suit, then anything is fair game. You could either have it catered or do some take out and throw out all of the packagings and pretend you made it. No one would dare say anything about it not being home cooked.” Xander shrugged. “How many people are you expecting?”

“Well I thought about catering from a restaurant but now I’m thinking that catering from a person rather than a chain might be more believable.” Just having to do anything to impress her family and show them that she was more than capable to be on her own--it was too damn stressful for her. “Five, three of those are my younger brothers so they’ll eat about anything and not care where it came from as long as it’s good.”

kirby-powell:

kirby was no chef by any means, but they were willing to put their best foot forward and help. even if that meant cooking. “you know we can always try and cook and if that doesn’t work out we can order something.” they suggested. “if we do get order food, pretend you made it.”

“Kirby you have no idea how many times I’ve been thinking of just going with that but my parents are,” she paused to try to find the right words. “Witches or something, they will literally know whether or not it is store-bought. What would be more pathetic, cooking something not so great or getting caught cheating my way through dinner?”

ollieaguilar:

If there was a trait that Olive’s parents passed on down to them it was the natural ability to work with food. They were ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. “First: what level of fancy is the dinner party? And two: when is the dinner party so I know what kind of time crunch we’re working with?”

“Nothing fancy at all. Just your regular family get-together where they want to test their very grown daughter and see if she's capable of being on her own after numerous times of me saying I am completely capable,” she rambled and when she came to a stop she took in a deep breath. “Sorry about that, it just gets on my nerves. But it’s tomorrow night... I know it’s kind of very last minute but I’m sure we could pull something off together.”

“Okay, so not that making coffee is the most difficult job in the world but, is it so difficult to be nice to the person who makes your drink?” Ellie let out a sigh, clearly annoyed over the day she just had. “Maybe I’m the one out of line here, but I swear sometimes customer service jobs are literally the worst.”

“Unfortunately we live in a world with a lot of entitled people who think they can be assholes to just anyone. I’m sorry about whatever happened.” Paloma offered, giving her a small sympathetic smile. “I propose that we push past it, for now at least. Karma works in mysterious ways and they’ll get it. How about some ice cream? You’re not lactose intolerant right? I think I’ve also got some vegan ice cream if anything.”

liv-rivera:

“And you came to me? My mãe would pray for my cooking skills to improve and with no luck, ya girl is a dud,” Liv scrunched her face up looking at the other’s set up in the kitchen. “But I mean- two terrible cookes have to make one semi-good one right? That’s how math works.”

“I had a lot more faith in you than me, alright?” She sighed and brought a hand up to the back of her neck, already feeling stressed out. “How bad could a casserole be, right? We can’t possibly mess it up if we follow the recipe perfectly.” Or so she thought. She didn’t exactly have the best of luck before.

“Looks like you don’t have the choice” he said, pointing out the obvious. And he also hoped she managed to learn enough to cook for that particular dinner. “Well, I’m not 5 star chef but I’m okay. I did learn when I was in college. It was mostly very simple recipes back then but after graduating, I traveled abroad and learned a few things”.

“Nope,” she chuckled with a shake of her head. “Well if we’re talking about college recipes, I make a killer cup of ramen, amazing quesadillas, a nice plate of fruits with some chili powder and lemon...” she kissed her fingers. “So where did you study abroad? Any fun places you’d recommend?”

“Don’t you worry,” Becky smiled, enveloping Paloma’s hand with her own. “Just give me the time and theme and I’ve got you covered,” she nodded. “If there’s one thing us Southern women know how to do it’s host us a dinner party. I’m gettin’ all excited just thinkin’ about it,” she giggled.

Paloma grinned, feeling a bit of relief that Becky was willing to help. “There’s no theme exactly just anything edible really. Should I do a theme at all? I never thought about it but if I go that extra mile maybe it’ll gain me some points.”

“Yeah, that would be great actually. I thought them having color coded leashes would make things easier but apparently I didn’t account for…this happening,” Cammy admitted with a small laugh, taking one awkward side step. Gathering all of the leashes in one hand, she used her free hand to fish out some treats and handed them to the other woman, “If you can hold their attention with these for a moment, I should be able to sort this out, I think.”

“Having you noticed that nothing is ever that easy?” She teased, holding her hand out for the treats and getting to eye level with the dogs to distract them and help with the leashes at the same time. “How do you handle three dogs? You must’ve had some growing up, maybe?”

thomas-nakamura:

“Your phone doesn’t switch to directions on-foot?” Thomas asked. “So, Paloma. I hear the school year’s ending. Is there anything cool you plan to do before you take on any summer jobs?”

“It does, but then little blue navigator thing goes south when you’re supposed to go north and it’s just the same cycle until I end up where I wasn’t even supposed to be at.” Paloma realized that she probably sounded so dumb and as if she couldn’t follow simple directions. “I’ll probably go to the coast. I mean, it’s not like you can go in the water without freezing to death but I love the sand so I might spend some days over there.”

“What you can pick something super easy to make. Dinner party doesn’t mean you have to cook something huge or crazy. I mean pasta is always simple and bountiful and if you need help you know I got you.”

“I thought about pasta for sure, but I think last time I made it I don’t know what I did that it ended up stuck to the bottom of the pot.”

ayrtonscott:

“Your parents are creative” he laughed “I love it”. Although ordering and pretending she cooked was an idea, he doubted they’d believe it was her doing. “You could do that. It would the easy way out but you’re not going to fool them. I think they’re trying to tell you that you need to learn”.

“Creative or just straight-up cruel?” She joked. “I know, I know. Trust me, I’ve gone through every scenario possible and whether or not I’d get away with it. And I have also gone through the whole mentality of me needing to get it together and just order one of those subscription boxes and learning through those. Eventually, I’ll get there. How about you though? Good cook or not so good?”

dtariqrobnson:

“You’re how old and you don’t know how to cook?” His tone was judgemental and bit harsh, but in Tariq’s opinion judgment in this situation seemed warranted, but he wasn’t judging her. “Clearly your parents failed at being parents unless their goal was for you to die at a young age with your arteries clogged full of junk food. Their job is to teach you how to survive in the world and neither of them taught you the basic life skill of how to cook. Failures. Both of them and now their taunting you with their failure.”

Paloma could sense the judgment right away, whether it was towards her choices, lack of skills, or directly to her---there had been judgment coming left and right from family and other people most of her life. Sure, she was used to it but she didn’t enjoy it. “No,” she started, shaking her head. “I was just too busy focusing on other things that seemed a lot more important than learning how to make some fancy dish. Don’t get me wrong, if someone has time to make a full fancy dish, good for them.” Paloma couldn’t help but exude a little bit of attitude along with her words. “My parents can be a lot of things, but they’re not failures so I would kindly appreciate it if you didn’t call them anything when you don’t know them.”

rosharriscn:

Rosalind would be lying to herself if she didn’t find the whole situation amusing, cruel too, but still amusing. “What on earth must you have done for your parents to punish you that much?” Shaking her head, Ros sighed. Although she didn’t mind trying to cook, her wife was usually the one making dinner for all of them in their household. “How about you do something in a slow cooker and test it beforehand. All you would need to do is prepare something, set a timer and you’re done.” Granted, she had done it a few times when she took it upon herself for it to be her turn; no one had ever complained.

“Beats me,” she shrugged, letting out a small sad laugh. Paloma knew she needed to get her act together eventually and cook real meals that weren’t an easy fix, but she was so invested in her job sometimes (not that she even got paid enough for it) that she’d forget to do the simple things like cooking. “I thought about that for sure, do a whole trial and error kind of thing because I just feel like something would go wrong still,” she sighed. “I’m not super hopeless, I promise!” She quickly added.
