Baking Time
A/N - it has arrived motherfuckers. Prepare. Your. Anus. Also @ego-16
Marina tied the strings of her soft rainbow apron behind her back, giggling as she caught a glimpse of Pietro trying to do the same with their pastel one. It looked kinda bad, but at least they were trying.
"What the- Pietro what the hell are you doing?" Melanie asked, looking puzzled.
"My best! Also," They cried. They tilted their whole body, and pointed at Melanie's half-assed bow. "I don't think you're allowed to say that when you have whatever that is! How did you mess it up that badly it's in front of you!"
"Shut up!" Melanie quickly undid the bow. The others seemed to be doing okay. Ryder had Soterios helping him, and Lyrebird was helping Klaus too. Ms. Medic and Mythology were staring at the bags of colourful chocolate discs that were sitting on the marble bench, probably trying not to sneak a few. Queen was sitting on the bench, flipping through a baking book. Mx. Flora was working the camera, and everyone had mics set up.
"Pietro, let me help you with that." Freya took the straps from her lover and tied a perfect bow for them, earning cheek kiss afterwards.
"Alright, hey guys, welcome to the livestream!" Marina spoke to the camera, giving a quick wave as well.
"In case you couldn't read the title, or just didn't," Marina continued, while Mr. Williams and Mr. Coffee went from shelf to shelf, grabbing ingredients. "We are in the kitchen! We're just gonna bake today, series by series, also I let Ryder into the kitchen, which I have been told is a horrific mistake, but Soterios is here, so eehhh it'll be fiiiiinne-"
"No it won't," Williams popped into the frame. "This kitchen will burn to the ground, considering how many people we have here."
"Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssee me, sir! We have like, six kitchens, even if we burn down this one we'll have five more!"
"Wha… why did you hold that for so long?"
"Uummm," Marina looked up at him. "That needs no explanation. Okay, so we aren't-"
She broke down into laughter, and so did a lot of the others. Freya helped her to continue.
"We aren't following any tutorials, we're just going for it. So don't be surprised if we destroy the kitchen somehow." Aaannd everyone's laughing again.
"So, we're kind of taking turns here, series by series, since the kitchen isn't that big. Uhhh I…… have nothing else to say here. Okay now go!" Marina shoo-ed the others away, and called over Ms. Medic and Mythology.
"Okay, we might as well just make cupcakes," Marina said after a few minutes of staring at the cookbook. "Okay, where's the flour- oh it's up there. Fuck, where's the sugar- wait are all the dry powdery stuff up there- motherfucker, they are!"
"Mar," Mythology looked down at the little lady standing between him and Marceline. "Do you need tall person help?"
"No! I have my ways." Marina raised her hands towards the cabinets, and soon they had all the ingrediants they needed.
Marina poured the dry mix into the wet mix. She handed Myth the whisk. Ms. Medic looked up at the camera.
"Now, unless you want to make a giant poof cloud, you gotta mix slowly. So," Ms. Medic glanced at Myth, who thankfully was doing so. "If you have a hand mixer, mix on a low speed, if you have a Mythology, mix on speed one."
"We put the Myth on a low speed," Marina laughed at Myth, which got him laughing too.
"Ready for speed two?"
"Hell yeah!"
"Alright, boop!"
Marina immediately ducked down as Myth began to furiously mix the batter. Ms. Medic carefully turned the bowl, staying clear of the little bits of batter flying around. For some reason, he started spinning his other arm in a circle.
"This is for rotational energy! Counterbalance, it makes sense scientificly!" Myth grunted. His face was reddened from all the mixing too. In a moment, he was done. Marina scooped the batter into a muffin tray lined with cupcake liners. After half an hour in the oven, they were done.
"Okay, so while these are cooling," Ms. Medic gestured to the cupcakes sitting on a cooling rack, protected from hungry mouths by a glimmering bubble. "We are making frosting. But we're using champagne in this."
"So that wasn't so bad," Marina popped the last bite of her delicious cupcake into her mouth, sucking the frosting off her fingers. "Who's next? Hopefully, this kitchen isn't gonna be wrecked."
"Okay, cookie time!" Mr. Coffee grabbed the pre-measured bowls of flour, sugar, and a whole bunch of other stuff that i as the writer am too lazy to write. In a few seconds, thanks to the wonders of multitasking, they were gradually mixing the batter together. Or, Ryder was. And this is where the disaster starts, brace your ass.
Ryder quickly went from calm mixing to furious stirring. With a whisk. Bits of batter were flying everywhere, and people were ducking for cover.
"Babe, holy shit!" Soterios sprinted over to his boyfriend, gently putting a hand on his arm to curb the mad stirring. With a whisk of course. "I think that's enough- oh my god that actually looks really good. Wow."
In seconds, the white chocolate chip cookie dough had been stolen by multiple people. First Pierce ran by and grabbed some right out of the bowl, and even tossed a bit to Tooth, who immediately caught it in his mouth. Then, using the distraction made by Pierce, Cass stole more dough, and Lyrebird immediately gave chase. Art took his chance to steal even more, and Lyrebird turned her attention to him, which allowed little Mx. Reptiles to eat a few packets that had been sitting nearby whole, and Mythology swiftly grabbed his adopted child and carried them so that they couldn't steal more. By the end of the chaos, all the cookie dough was gone.
For a while, no one spoke. Just stared. Then Apateon took over the baking.
"Hey hey hey hey hey! No eating the frosting!" Apateon had actually made some red velvet cupcakes, but now she had to stop Cement and Flare from eating all the frosting. Meanwhile, the rest of the monster series was busy shoveling as many cupcakes as possible down as fast as they could.
"What the- oh god damn you, all of you! What the fuck!" Apateon quickly saved as many cupcakes as she could, grabbed the frosting, and quickly frosted the cupcakes while kicking the others away. Of note is that Fauna and Marbles were absent, because they were on a date. He gave them a sun conure named Mango a while ago.
The cupcakes Apateon had made and saved from the monster series had been absolutely delicious. The group had decided to take a break from the baking, and play a few games.
"Okay, so we're playing Never Have I Ever, because why the hell not?" Marina poofed a bunch of bowls filled with small candies into existance, about 8. She passed them to her siblings.
"Uhhhhmmm who's going first?" Marina asked, looking at her siblings.
"Uhhh never have I ever been a furry!" Pietro blurted out, and everyone burst into laughter. Except for Apateon, who look plain offended.
"Oohhhh we're doing it this way, huh?!? Well then," Apateon looked at Pietro with pure fury in her eyes. "Never have I ever had pink hair!"
"YOU GOT ME, NOT THEM!" Pierce exclaimed, grumpily popping a blue candy into their mouth.
"Pat, lavender is a light shade of purple, not pink!" Marina said, and Apateon did a facepalm, swearing under her breath.
"We've barely even started and it's already getting brutal in here!" Klaus leaned on the bench.
"You think that's brutal? Well," Queen smirked "Never have I ever been pansexual or panromantic!"
"ME AGAIN!" Pierce was in complete disbelief, and Marina giggled as she ate a candy.
"How the fuck did you do that?" Somehow, Marina had managed to win the game by three candies. Although she had gotten really really mean.
"Yaaaaayyyy," Marina threw her hands into the air. "I won, woohoo!"
"Oh yeah," Melanie stared down at the lady. "Only because you said 'never have I ever grown over 5 feet tall!', and you attacked us all!"
"Yeeeaaaahhh," Klaus looked over. "First you attacked my looks and then you attacked my relationship!"
"Hey hey hey that was totally justified-" Marina started, but Melanie cut her off.
"Bitch, never have I ever been part of a queer biker gang, really?" But the way she said it make Marina start giggling.
"What on earth," Marina stiffled the giggles. "Was with that last bit?"
"Fuck the last bit, back to baking-"
"Bitch! You wanna get back to baking then you do the baking!"
"Bold of you to assume I can bake!"
It was a disaster, right up until Canary took over for his family of idiots. Melanie had tried to make more cookies out of pride, but Cass kept stealing even more cookie dough, Saviour kept trying to make the cookies bake faster by zapping them, which of course failed, and Obsessive… he just stood there and watched. Did he even blink?
"Huh," Marina chewed on the cookie while the others happily gobbled them down. "Considering what Mel did, I thought they'd be at least a bit weird, but seems like you saved them, Canary. Good job!"
He smiled and chuckled, savouring his own. Hopefully, Pietro and the Birthday series wouldn't blow up the kitchen.
"What. The fuck," Freya stood, hands on her hips, as she scanned the mad mess that Pietro had made. Apparently, they had wanted to make Freya some Krumkake, since she loved the traditional norwegian sweet so much, and had mentioned eating it all the time back in Norway as a child. Unfortunately, their ability to bake was limited to cakes. The 'cone' was far too soft, and felt more like a crepe than a hard, crunchy cookie, and the chocolate cream they tried to make as filling for it was basically a liquid.
Freya looked at her lover, who was rubbing their arm, looking kinda embarrassed at the failure of a treat. She sighed, then giggled, pressing a kiss to their lips.
"You tried to make something you knew I like," Freya smiled at Pietro, before squeezing them as hard as she could. "I think that's good enough, even though it didn't turn out right."
"Awwwwwww," Queen turned to Ms. Frog. "That's cute. Alright time for BANANAS!"
Banana bread. That was what she ment. Even with Ms. Frog helping her, it was a disaster. And by disaster I mean she blew up the goddamn kitchen GOD DAMN IT QUEEN YOU FOOL!
