The Wider home was nothing special, but it had everything a family of four could have ever needed or wanted growing up. Pulling up to its front Mikayla was suddenly very keenly aware of all of the house's little flaws. Every scratch or loose bit of wood stuck out to the mildly panicking blond. Maleen was gonna be here to see it all with her own eyes in just a few short hours.
Almost face planting scrambling out of her car, the nervous woman rushed into the house proper, waking Brook as she slammed the door, nearly making her roll off the couch before one of her flailing limbs caught on to something to steady herself.
“WHA-?!”
“Sorrynotimetoexplaingottacookandclean-!”
She had run past the living room while barfing words but double backed and poked her head around the entryway.
“Oh and we’re gonna have a… very good friend of mine over for dinner so be presentable by then why don’t ya instead of being dumpy for once, kay?”
And she was gone again while Brook was still waking up from her prolonged nap.
“...What?!”
Still caught up with getting things ready Mikayla was almost sprinting down the hall to her room. Again slamming the door she began dashing here and there, grabbing makeup or checking her phone over and over again for a recipe she thought would impress her date-
“No wait, this isn’t a date! Or maybe it is? Is it a date if you’re just inviting a friend over for dinner?”
“What about a date you fucking spaz?”
“GUH, BROOK I TOLD YOU TO KNOCK DAMNIT!”
Annoyed brow crease deepening Brook went ahead and let herself all the way in before leaning against the wall with arms crossed.
“And I've told you not to slam doors. Now again, what about a date? This better not be another one of your “Boy Toys” you met at a bar.”
"It's not a guy and it's not… a date date! I was talking about how… I can't believe what date it was! I've been so wrapped up with my cooking I forgot that I invited a friend over today!"
"Really now?"
"Yes really, GOD! And I don't want you running her off with your bitchyness either so could you not act like you're in an office for one afternoon please?"
"MY bitchyness?! Mikayla you're the one that's been slamming doors and now you've invited a guest without asking me or even giving me the decency of a warning ahead of time!"
"LOOK IF I MAKE THAT DESSERT YOU LIKE AFTER DINNER WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT UP ALREADY?!"
Mikayla and Brook were trading looks that could kill, neither one giving an inch until the eldest face softened the slightest bit.
"... The toast cake thing?"
"It's a toasted peanut butter cake and I'll make you one even with some ice cream on top if you'll shut up and not freak out about tonight alright?"
Brook stood there for a moment, her face clearly showing her thoughts as she struggled with either sticking to her sense of responsibility that she was trying to push on her sister or accepting the sweet bribe being dangled in front of her face. After another few tense moments she let a deep sigh out and turned to leave, still very much annoyed but letting her anger go for now.
"Alright, I'll leave you be until dinner, but this isn't over just yet. And I want at least double what you made last time got it?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever fatass, now just get out so I can change!"
With one last huff Brook left her sister alone. Left with her thoughts the dread of what was coming tonight began to set in again for Mikayla.
"I need to wear something nice! But not too nice or she'll get the wrong idea. But what if-?!"
Running around like a confused hummingbird the young Wider would eventually make it down to the kitchen to start on dinner, a loose plan of what she was going to make bouncing around her head. She only had so much time to think about it but she was putting as much effort into tonight's meal as she could muster.
Maybe if things go well her and Maleen could…
"Do you have to slam every pan and pot in the kitchen just to cook?!"
"I thought we agreed you'd keep your trap shut?!"
Time passed quickly for the love sick cook as she dashed from stove and cabinets while still also slinging insults back and forth with the senior Wider until soon Maleen would be arriving for a night that-
