Messy, but not too bad.

In retrospect I should have expected something like this. I left them alone, in the kitchen, and let them TRY and prepare food. Have you ever seen the Simpsons where Homer sets cereal on fire? Rachel was covered from head to her waist in flour and somehow Jenny had cereal in her hair and what looked to be melting butter smeared on her cheek. "Why you lousy little..." Rachel had a bowel of goop in her had ready to clobber a laughing Jenny. "That's what you get, miss I burn oatmeal!" I don't know what started it, or who threw the first 'punch', but I was not in any kind of mood to let this continue. "STOP IT!" Jenny and Rachel both yelped in alarm dropping what ever they had in hand and turning towards my voice. "J-Johnny!? Um....uh....y-your probably wondering what went wrong?" While Rachel tried to throw together an explanation for the scene I walked in on, Jenny peaked out from behind her shoulder.

"I don't care..." I surprised the two of them by calmly walking towards them with a wet rag. "Honestly you two." Rachel made a bit of a fuss as I wiped the flour off her face, Jenny only flushed awkwardly and looked away as I brushed away the cereal in her hair. ".....Sorry Johnny/Mousey..." I just waved off their tandem apology and with some luck, I found something for us to eat. "Sorry it's just jam and toast, but I don't really know where everything is in this huge kitchen. Rachel quietly nibbled on her toast while trying to keep her flushed cheeks from growing any hotter. Jenny gave a little giggle as she smeared another piece. "S-ok Mousey! We've really been too busy to have a real 'tour' of the house up until now." Rachel and I both caught her meaning and while I chuckled softly, Rachel just flushed brighter. "Any luck with Kim?" Rachel's shyness seemed to fade as she set her toast back on the plate. "Well....there's some good news...."

"Ah shome bad news!!" Rachel smacked Jen in the back of the head for talking with her mouth full. "Auuuuuhhhh.... I know I'm going to regret this.....but lets get the bad news out of the way first."
