Araneae sent a quick text to Jett asking if "miss professional chef" wanted to join her in baking some cookies for everyone, to which she happily agreed. In the kitchen Araneae had pulled out all necessary ingredients as Jett walked in.

"Hey," Jett cheerfully said walking to the sink to wash her hands before helping.

"Hola Jett!" Araneae happily replied. "Mind preheating the oven to 350° f?"Araneae asked. (roughly 177° c)

"Yeah for sure," Jett replied drying her hands.

The two worked well together, Jett putting together the dry ingredients while Araneae combined the wet ingredients.

"It said two cups of flour right?" Jett questioned.

"Two and one fourth cups," Araneae replied.

"Oh ok thanks,"

"Yeah no problem." Araneae, focused on cracking the eggs suddenly heard a crash behind her.  Turning around she faced Jett with a taken back expression with flour on her cheeks.

"I hit the bowl with the measuring cup and flour flew at my face," Jett replied to Araneae's questioning look.

"I thought you told me you were a 'professional cook' ?" Araneae joked, air quoting professional cook.

"Yeah! A professional cook not baker!" Jett laughed

"Sorry," Araneae replied laughing as well.

Araneae and Jett had now put the first batch of cookies with no problems. Almost.

"While these are in the oven I guess we can put away the flour, sugar, and stuff," Araneae suggested.

"Good idea," Jett replied grabbing the flour from the counter and reaching to put in the cabinet only to realize she couldn't reach.

"Hey wait Jett did you clos-"

Jett updrafted to put the flour away only to misjudge the cabinet shelf and promptly smack the four container into the shelf, in turn sending the flour everywhere.

Jett and Araneae just stood there in shock for a second before both girls burst out in heavy laughter, falling to the floor laughing.

The bright white flour covering everything around Jett, flour on Araneae as well.

"Girl, that flour totally has a grudge on you!" Araneae says in between laughs.

"I know!" Jett responds, laughter dying down.

"woah what happened in here?" Gekko asks looking at the flour coated scene in front of him.

"The flour decided to fight Jett," Araneae replied looking up at Gekko as he entered what was now a snow field.

" I can see that," Gekko said smiling at Araneae.

"Stop flirting and help clean," Jett said standing up and dusting herself off.

"Flirting? I wasn't even-" Gekko starts before getting interrupted.

"Help clean or no cookies for you," Jett replies. "Oh and no one tell Brim," Jett chuckles.

Gekko, Araneae, and Jett now had all the flour cleaned up, only stopping briefly to take the cookies out of the oven and put the second batch in.

"Ok let's put this stuff away without sending the flour everywhere," Jett sates just as Phoenix walks in.

"Is that cookies I smell?" Phoenix says reaching over to the cookies set aside, cooling off.
