savannah unlocks the door to evan's apartment and dodie is surprised at how clean his place is.
they get in and take off their shoes.
"right, so evan said to just put your suitcases in here for now." savannah instructs them after opening one of the doors that leads to a guest room of some sort.
the three of them hadn't thought that evan's apartment would be this spacious.
"where's the loo?" sammy asks and savannah points to another white door where he disappears behind.
dodie goes on to walk around the apartment, mustering the living room and then joining savannah and bertie in the kitchen where she looks at the many plants on the window sill.
"it's a really nice place!" she says and bertie nods in agreement.
"are you guys hungry?" savannah asks and bertie nods once again, his stomach grumbling audibly.
dodie washes her hands at the kitchen sink and then dries them off with help of a piece of paper towel, before throwing it in the trash. savannah and bertie follow her actions and then they begin to look through the cupboards to find pans and pots to prepare food in them.
sammy joins them shortly after, wiping his wet hands on his pants.
"what are we even going to make?" he asks.
"pasta with lots of vegetables and stuff." bertie answers.
"we should put more in, i bet evan will want to eat some, too, when he comes from work."
savannah agrees, "yeah i think he'll be back in a few hours." at this dodie is very excited, as are the other two, they haven't seen evan in a long while. they skyped a lot with savannah but evan was nearly always busy.
"where does he work again?" sammy questions.
"bestbuy." savannah tells him, "oh and he tutors some kids in maths on the weekends."
"that's cool." bertie says.
"yeah but he keeps complaining about how lame his coworkers are." she shrugs.
"and how's your work at lush going?" dodie asks savannah and she tells her about it.
they move on to split up the different tasks to do, so that savannah ends up supervising the boiling water, dodie and sammy cut up the many different vegetables and bertie doing the washing up of the different utensils they will need to eat with and looking up a recipe for the sauce they will prepare to go with their food.
when they finished preparing most of the food, sammy and savannah move to the living room to watch some tv.
bertie is washing a few more dishes whereas dodie is stirring the sauce.
it is slowly becoming noticeable that the time difference is catching up with bertie and sammy as they couldn't manage to sleep through the twelve hours like dodie had.
sammy had claimed that he didn't get a minute of shut-eye because the person in the seat in front of him kept snoring really loudly and because the back of that person's seat was in his face until he got out of the seat, the stewardess he had asked about it had apologised and told him that there weren't any free seats he could move into so he really ended up being the unlucky one.
when the food is finally finished and they are about to prepare the dining table, they hear a key turning in the lock.
evan enters and is immediately attacked by his friends who all engulf him in a hug.
"hello!" he greets them, a big smile on his face "how are you? how was the flight? do i smell food?"
"good, good." dodie beams at him, "and yes, we made food but thought you wouldn't get back until a bit later in the day?"
"i was supposed to work a bit longer but my boss let me off earlier today for some reason."
they go to sit down at the table and bertie brings another plate and cutlery for evan.
"thanks, bertie." he nods. "so how was the flight for you? savannah told me you have trouble flying?"
"it was alright." he smiles.
"i'm asking 'cause i heard that if you get sick at the airport it could be a terminal illness."
"oh, evan, how i missed these bad puns of yours." dodie smiles.
"wait! before you start, i have another one. what do you get if you cross a snake and a plane?"
a few seconds of dead silence later, sammy deliberately asks, "i don't know, what do you get?"
"a boeing constrictor." evan laughs and they begin to eat.
----
when they are finished, evan shows them where they can put their belongings for the time that they are staying at his flat and then they put on some tv-show that serves mostly as background noise while they are catching up with each other.

the next morning.

dorothy hears a bunch of birds chirping and opens her eyes for a brief moment, having to close them again as she is being blinded by the sunlight that passes through the gaps in the blinds.
she turns in bed and stretches, not being able to avoid letting out a loud yawn while doing so.
before she gets up, she decides to check her phone and is surprised to see that it is still rather early. but then again it shouldn't really surprise her as she slept for most of the day yesterday.
she goes through her different social media accounts, scrolling for about half an hour before deciding to finally get up.
dodie stretches once again and then wanders around the apartment, trying to deduce whether or not someone else is awake as well. but all she hears is snoring.
she tip-toes into the kitchen where the cold, white floor tiles meet her bare feet. opening the fridge she notices that it is nearly empty, evan apparently didn't go grocery shopping for breakfast foods.
she goes back to the room she slept in, where her suitcase was located and gets dressed after taking a quick shower and brushing her teeth.
seeing as it is fairly warm outside, the summer sun already present in the baby blue sky, she puts on a white flowy dress that has lots of yellow flowers on it and pulls on thin white socks.
she grabs her little bag that contains her wallet which includes money that they had went out to exchange yesterday after catching up and walks back into the kitchen where she left her phone. she puts it inside her bag and grabs one of the keys evan had left on the table for whenever someone wants to leave so that they won't be locked out if no one's home.
then, she grabs one of the pens that seem to be scattered around evan's flat and writes a small message onto the magnetic notepad that hangs on the refrigerator door.
she ties up her shoes and then leaves, carefully closing the door behind her so that she wouldn't wake anyone.
a/n i feel like all they did so far is prepare food and eat food and sleep whoops i guess my favourite things to do have been too much of a templatebut fear not there is more chapters of eating and sleeping to come soon
