25 Unicorn Street- Monday afternoon

[throughaphase]

Kitty had to make a three-tier cake for class, and today while Lexi was at school was the best time to do it. By the looks of all the ingredients she had laid out, she might be taking this a little too seriously, but also she didn't care.

Midway through pouring the batter in the second of the three pans, something occurred to her, and she called, "Clint, do we have sprinkles?"


[For the husband!]

Lexi being at school also made this a good time to clean up her toys while she wouldn't notice things disappearing, and he was in the middle of deciding how many dolls was too many when Kitty got his attention.

"It's adorable that you think I know more about what's in the cupboard than you do," he called back, before setting everything down and joining her in the kitchen. "Does the cake need sprinkles or are you adding them for fun?"

"Yes," she said, looking back at him. "I was hoping for the Crystal ones so I could make the filling a little sparkly."

"Ooh, I can't argue with that. Unless I'm not going to get to taste-test anything." Think of your poor, starving husband, Kitty!

"You will definitely get to lick the bowl," she promised.

"Well then, let's find those sprinkles," Clint said, starting to rummage through the cupboards. "Are you using everything you've got out, or were you just moving things around?"

"I'm either using it or potentially using it," she said as she finished the third pan to start putting them in the oven. "I might be watching too much Bake Off?"

[so_hawkward]

"I don't think it's possible to watch too much Bake Off. It might be too much to spend effort on a class for Tony though," Clint said. "Knowing the people around here, making something edible might be enough for high marks."

"I just want Mary Berry to be hypothetically proud of me," Kitty said. "It's also possible I need hobbies."

[so_hawkward]

"I'll be proud of you no matter how this turns out," Clint promised. "I worry that needing hobbies is just asking one, if not both of our universes to go to hell."

"In all fairness, we don't need to jinx anything for that to happen," Kitty said wryly.
