[TONIGHT, in the mess hall kitchen, someone is swearing up a storm as she bakes... something. something that definitely smells like it's burning.]

... It's the right color?

[fourthsaken]

[points to things already measured out]

Mix the soy milk and oil. I'll see if I can fix this.

[crisscrossing]

Right! Okay.

[fourthsaken]

[trying to even out ingredients]

Is that ready? We can mix them all.

[crisscrossing]

Ready!

[fourthsaken]

[hands him a mixing fork]

Wanna do the honors?

[crisscrossing]

I can handle that!

[fourthsaken]

[pours together the ingredients and hands him the bowl]

Mix it until it's dough that we can roll out. You can add water if you need to soften it.

[crisscrossing]

[time for the worst mixing technique]

[fourthsaken]

[she's going to start working on the filling while that disastrous mixing happens]

[crisscrossing]

What flavor are we going for?

[fourthsaken]

Pumpkin. I'm sticking with tradition.

[crisscrossing]

Nice!

[fourthsaken]

That's cool with you, right? I didn't even ask...

[crisscrossing]

What? I'm good with whatever, you know me!

[fourthsaken]

Maybe I'll go with something more unique around Christmas. You know, if this is a success.

[crisscrossing]

Yeah! Yeah.

[fourthsaken]

I'll have more time to experiment with recipes too.

[crisscrossing]

Go crazy!

[fourthsaken]

Actually, uh, speaking of going crazy, you still want a cake this year?

[crisscrossing]

If you're offering!

[fourthsaken]

Of course. It's your birthday.

[crisscrossing]

I'm not doing much else, though, so...

[fourthsaken]

I'm not secretly planning a party this year. Don't worry.

[crisscrossing]

Heh!
