Characters: Harley Quinn and Matt Prept
When: Saturday Evening
Location: Car 3 - Kitchen Car
Warnings/Rating: None!
Summary: Waffles Part II
Status: Closed/Ongoing

By Harley's best guess, she'd made approximately one trillion waffles. Which wasn't a bad thing; she could stick what was left of 'em in the fridge, and let people nibble on them as they wanted. Yes! With a FREE WAFFLES sign. Should she mention the ones she'd gotten creative with? Nah. Mostly they were fine, with normal things like chocolate chips or blueberries in them. She wasn't sure she could find the one she'd made with tabasco sauce; not without tasting it, anyway. It would perk up someone's morning at some point!

The kitchen was an absolute mess, and Harley would totally clean it up. But she was taking a well-deserved break, curled up on the floor with her back against the cupboards while she used the TrainTwitter. There was enough batter for another couple of waffles; but Harley was so full, she wasn't sure she could manage another one. A few chocolate chips from the bag at her side, though, that wasn't filling. Not really healthy either, but she'd pig out on veggies tomorrow and it would all work out.

	He watched, mouth open, and held the bowl, as she moved. Wow!!! When she was done, he carefully put the bowl down and clapped hard and long. "Yeah! That was awesome!!!" He grinned, bouncing some, cheering for her. "That was pretty amazing." He eyed her and nodded. he liked it! "I want to learn how to do that!!!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Harley bounced to her feet and bowed deeply, grin spreading wide on her face.

"We'll have to start small," Harley said, giggles breaking through her words at the smile on his face. "Somersaults and cartwheels. Backwards and forwards. And falling!" She moved again to pick up the bowl as she spoke, fishing the bacon out of the pan with the spatula.

"That's first. You gotta know how to fall right. 'Cause you do it a lot!" Reaching for a knife to cut the bacon, she winked at her friend. "Even I still fall, all the time." Mostly when she'd just been hit by some big ugly two-bit goon, but that wasn't the point.

	Matt nodded, smiling a little, listening raptly. "Whatever you want, whatever you think is best. This is awesome!" He listened and nodded, wanting to know, wanting to be able to do what she had done. Wow! "Falling, okay. I want to learn it all. Just... tell me when." He smiled hopefully at her, eyes wide. This was great! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We'll make plans," Harley decided, nodding. "There's a gym car, right? They'll have mats! And then you can learn to fall without gettin' hurt without, you know, gettin' hurt." The goop in the bowl looked promising!

Batter full of bacon and fruit. Harley gave it one last, vigorous stir, and poured it into the waffle iron.

"Anything else you wanna add to your creation, Mattaroni? I had one with skittles and gummy bears earlier, it was yumtastic."

	"Yay! That sounds fantastic!" He danced in place, then nodded. "We do, and there are!" He watched as she poured waffles, and then grinned, shaking his head. "Not to this batch, maybe the next one?" He smirked at her. "I wonder what pizza waffles would taste like..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Pizza waffles? Pizza waffles? Harley stood there for a second, lost in thought, empty bowl still poised over the waffle iron, before she remembered what she was doing. "Pizza waffles!" She tossed the bowl onto the counter and nearly wiggled with glee. "That's a great idea!"

Right. Waffles. Harley shut the iron, and turned back to the more important thing; Matt. "That sounds so friggin good. What should we put on it?! Tomato sauce," she started ticking things off on her fingers. "Cheese, pepperoni- what else? What kinda pizza you like, Mattaroni? Olives? Mushrooms? Anchovies?" She paused, and wrinkled her nose. "Not anchovies."

Matt grinned at her. Sometimes he had good idea, yep, sometimes, he really did. He thought so, anyway. He liked this wild woman, but he wondered where she got most of her energy! She was bouncier than him, sometimes!

he hmmed as he thought. "Tomato sauce, yes, and cheese, and peperoni, and sausage or ham, and maybe some olives and mushrooms wouldn't be bad. Maybe one with beef or chicken instead of the peperoni." He nodded as he thought, pacing a little.

"Ewww. no Anchovies, please."

Harley did actually bounce now, just a little, her hands clapping together as her pigtails went up and down. "Wouldn't it be awesome if we could make like, a really big waffle? All real-pizza sized??" And then people could have slices!

"Or- ooh! How about a dessert pizza waffle too? Cause they're kind of sweet anyway- we could put some red food coloring in frosting, or cream cheese, and sprinkle candy and stuff over the top like toppings!" She pointed a finger at him. "That's it. I'm dubbing you the Master of Waffles!"

	He grinned at her bouncing, doing a little bouncing himself, and nodded. "That would rock. I wish we could!" He chuckled at the idea. It would be supercool! "That could be fun! Like that makes sense! " Then he blinked and laughed and pointed at himself. "Me?? How so?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"'Cause you are, that's how. Who came up with pizzaffles? Wasn't me. And who's sayin' wish? Mattaroni, we'll make it happen." Harley's hands were rubbing together. "I know a guy in Gotham, he makes specialized stuff. All sortsa toys and tricks. If he can't rig an extra-large waffle iron I'll-"

The quiet ding of the waffle iron being done interrupted the thoughts whirling faster every second. Harley blinked, coming back to the moment. They weren't in Gotham. They were trainnapped. And everyone and everything she knew could be, for all she knew, literal worlds away. Gotham was gloomy sometimes, but it wasn't monochrome.

"Oh. Waffle's done." Her voice had gotten relatively quiet. "I'll get it."

	"Oh, er, okay?" He grinned at her enthusiasm. She was definitely into things! He bounced as he considered her words, and he nodded. It sounded good, and he was confused by Gotham until the waggle iron went ding, and he blinked as she blinked. "You alright?" Matt stepped up and looked at her, concerned.

Harley's own bounce had definitely been dampened. It was in the way she moved as she opened the waffle iron, although the combination of chocolate, fruit, and bacon smell wafting into her face did bring a hint of a smile back onto her face.

"Yeah," she said as she worked. "I'm okay. I just- the train is fun, and funny, but I miss home, you know?" The way the city smelled at night, full of cars and gunfire and possibility. Red misting the orchids. Kitty prowling around feeling grouchy. Eddie, who was probably still pissed at the three of them after the last time. Harley had been trying to think up a way to cheer him up, but she wasn't that good at making up puzzles. And the one person she shouldn't miss, the guy she was supposed to be over and done with-

Her hands moved as she remembered, sprinkling chocolate chips and more bacon over the top of the waffle. When Harley managed to come back to herself, she saw she'd sprayed whipped cream into the shape of a big, widely grinning face across the top of the waffle.

Matt nodded. "I'm sorry. It sucks to be kept away from something you want. I hope you're allowed to go home soon. You are awesome and I would miss you, but you deserve your own fun an your home."

He looked down at the waggle, and he blinked. "Ah, a smiley face?"

That surprised him, but then he had the feeling that Harley had some of the same things other Adults did, issues stemming from being around so long.

	"Yep!" Harley reached out one hand to ruffle Matt's hair, just a little. "It's a Cheery Choc-Baconberry Bonanza Mattaroni Special." She set the plate on the counter, and rummaged for a fork. "C'mon, you have to taste it now, I need to known how it is!" Her grin was almost as big as it had been before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Matt smiled at her. "Good. Everything should be happy to be eaten." He nodded and grinned wide, taking a fork, and then cutting a piece off, and nibbling then chewing. His eyes lit up. "This is great!" The first part of that was spoken with food in his mouth, but he swallowed mid way through. He stabbed another piece. "You did awesome!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	harleygirl 2012-06-22 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Harley beamed and bounced a little again, up and down on the balls of her feet, clapping her hands. "Awesome! We'll have to remember the recipe for another time. Dazzle everyone with your creation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds like fun to me. You are an inspiring inspirer. Thanks." He grinned at her with a bounce in his step. "I am glad I met you." She was making him smile in the midst of all the crazy, and that was cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)
