Status/Rating: Incomplete/PG to PG-13

Melinda had gotten back from the pie shop just in time to start making dinner for Peter. She didn't know if this was considered a date or was it just dinner? She was really starting to like him in a way that she never really liked anyone else. Peter was different, she always seemed to smile when she was around him. When she got home she laid her stuff by the door and headed into the kitchen. Getting the meat out she began to mix the meat with eggs, oatmeal, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and a little bit of salt. Putting it into the oven she put the timer on. Then she got the ingredients out to make homemade mashed potatoes. Cleaning and washing the potatoes she put them into a boiling pot of water.

A few hours later, everything was made. She even microwaved a bowl of peas just in case for a vegetable and his birthday cake was cooling. Going into the bathroom she took a quick shower. Getting out she went into her bedroom and put on a casual dress and then blow dried her hair. Taking a straightener to it, she finished up her look by putting on some make up.

When she was finished with getting ready she laid everything on the table neatly and then went and decorated his cake. Leaving the cake on the counter she just sat on the couch and flipped through the TV as she waited for him to arrive.

"That does sound like a lot of fun. I had a blast with my riding lesson, I would come down there when I'm feeling stressed to ride a horse." she started laughing. "Well, you'll get two cause I made one as well for dessert." She looked at him. Going over into the kitchen she tried to find something to drink for the two of them. "Its going alright. Busy but a good busy. Its just balancing that with my college courses, but I'll learn to deal." She smiled over at him. "Do you want something to drink? I have soda, juice, water, milk."

Peter couldn't help but smile when she mentioned another cake as he followed her into the kitchen, "You didn't have to make me a cake too. Dinner would have been enough." Despite Ed having been at the stables the day they'd gone out riding, Peter and Melinda had been alone once they'd hit the trails, but this was the first time they were really completely alone with no locals passing by like when they'd gone ice skating. It was just the two of them. "Water is fine. Thank you."

"What is it that you're studying?" He asked, leaning against one of the counters as he returned her smile.

"Now what would be a birthday dinner without a cake?" She put her hand on her hips and smiled as she looked at him. It was nice for them to actually be alone together. She had a feeling that this night was going to be great, she was with a guy that she liked enjoying a nice birthday dinner. Oh and she had to remember to surprise him with his gift later as well. Looking in the fridge she got out a bottle of water and handed it to him. "I hope that your hungry. I made your favorite meatloaf and mashed potatoes and then microwaved some peas." She laughed.

"I'm studying Psychology. I want to have my own practice and want to become a family/child psychologist." She said taking a drink from her bottle of water.

"The last time I had this much cake in one day I was still living in Narnia." Peter said, smiling as he accepted the bottle of water, "Thank you. And I am hungry. I only ate lunch today." He took a drink of water as he listened to her talk about her future plans, "That's impressive. I'm sure if you work hard you'll succeed." He didn't remember anything about their future together from when he'd aged, so he didn't know if she ended up doing as she hoped, but he was sure that Melinda would wind up doing something she enjoyed in the future, "And until then, you're going to make pies?"
