Who: Keiichi, Misaki, Open to all.
What: Cooking Club Open House (looking for new members)
Where: Cooking Club Room
When: Saturday. After-school
Why: Because the current members MIGHT burn down the school in contravention of the club motto.

The club room had been polished to spotlessness, and a stack of leaflets sat on one of the tables near the room's entrance, advertising the virtues of the Cooking Club. It was about fifteen minutes before the room would be open to the students of the school, and behind Keiichi, the existing members worked dilligently on their cookies. After all, what would a Cooking Club open house be without yummy treats?

Sitting on one of the desks, feet kicking, his mind wandered to the events of yesterday. He still didn't quite know what was going on, but he would find out eventually. At least, he hoped that would be how it worked.

"Where's Misaki," he asked himself, referring to his first year second-in-command. The pink-haired girl was quite easy to talk to, he noted, and was also the only person who'd ever expressed any interest in being in the club to begin with. Hopefully, he could grab a few moments with her before the flood of future Cooking Club members entered.

Flood? Right. Maybe a trickle, if he was lucky.

"That's weird," Shiori said bluntly, before realizing that probably sounded rude. "Er, I mean that they wouldn't like you being in cooking club, which is a pretty useful club. If there were an art club here, I know my parents would absolutely hate me going. But I'm sure if I told them I went to a cooking club they'd be really happy. I'd be learning 'life skills' and all that, you know?"

If there were actually an art club, Shiori knew she wouldn't speak a word of it to her parents. It would only cause tension and arguments, and nothing good would come from it. It'd be easier for her to just lie about where her time was spent after school, and to not mention it in any way. Just like she did with her grades. Even the reports the school sent out she kept hidden from her parents; even on the days she had detentions or stayed after just because, Shiori was still the first one home and could usually hide any and all letters relating to her academics. If a letter needed a signature, she would forge one.

She hated being nagged about her schoolwork - or lack of.

"The one I just had was really good," Shiori said. Laughing quietly, she added, "Though you might not want to trust my judgment. I have a weird taste."

At Aoi-san's compliment, Shiori grinned proudly. "That's the plan! As soon as I graduate, I'm going to go to Tokyo and become world famous!"

I'll make my parents regret not paying attention to me! was left unsaid.

Misaki pushed her lips out some into a small pout as she murmered, "Why not start one then."

She looked at Shiori and smiled, "Hey that would be fun, an art club. I'd be happy to join it if you could get it started Wakanata-senpai! I know with you in charge it would be a really interesting club."

The freshman giggled some and was pleased by Shiori's laugh. She thought her Senpai had a cute laugh, one that should be heard more often. It was a shame that it wasn't.

"I'm glad you liked it, and weird taste is good. I know not everyone likes the same thing so I try to make it all differnt tasteing. Maybe something that might seem weird will turn out to be really good." she smiled brightly and grined.

"Well when you become famous, I want to cook you something special okay!"

"Me, run an art club?" Shiori asked, sounding confused. She brightened, blushing as she said, "It'd definitely be fun to join, but I don't think it'd be a good idea for me to be in charge. I'd probably be a terrible teacher."

She laughed again nervously. Though she had people express an interest in her art, she had never had anyone want her to teach them how to draw. She wouldn't know the first thing about how to do it, either, other than demonstrating. And if she had to demonstrate the whole time, she wouldn't be the one really drawing. Though it would just be once a week, so it couldn't be that bad...

Maybe she would volunteer to do it. It couldn't hurt.

"Ooh, something like the ice cream at Kigakiga! Like how you can get hot sauce on it!" Shiori said, perking up at the topic. She absolutely loved the ice cream at Kigakiga. If she could get away with it, that would be all she would eat. "And that'd be amazing if you did, Aoi-san! Now I really have to make it big!"

"But I bet you could be a great mentor if you tried Wakanata-senpai. I was wondering ah..." Misaki paused and blushed some. Her hands rubbed the front of her skirt some. "Um...would you mind terribly if I used your picture of the bird for a design for an outfit. Please. It was so pretty, and I want to make something really cool looking with it.'

Misaki grinned and nodded happily. She was glad to see Shiori having a good time. Even if she didn't join the club, just being around her made Misaki happy.

"Well I'll see if I can mimic their recipie tonight and bring you some for Monday. If that's okay with you...Wakanata-senpai."

"Go ahead!" Shiori said after a moment, eyes wide in surprise. Misaki really wanted to make an outfit with one of her pictures? That was something new for Shiori, for sure. She was glad she had decided to come to today's cooking club meeting. If all of them were like this, she'd have to become a regular member! "Ooh, I'm really excited to see what you have planned for it!

When Aoi-san said she would try to mimic the recipe, Shiori's eyes grew even wider. "Wah, you can do that?! That's... that's too much, Aoi-san! I would never be able to pay you back!"

Or match up to her. It'd be impossible for Shiori, whose only real talent was drawing, to even get close to Aoi-san and her numerous skills.

Misaki giggled delighted that she'd pleased the girl. "Mmmhummm, well I have an excellent picture to work from. And I'll do my best to capture that detail that you put in there. It's so amazing! I wish I could draw like that. Your so lucky Wakanata senpai. You have such skills. I'll bet that you'll get to show your work in a gallery in Tokyo one day, and it'll be worth a lot of money."

Misaki was suprised by Shiori's reaction to her offeing to make the ice cream, "Pa-Pay me back? OH No! No no no no no," she shook her head as if to emphize her point. "I can't let you do that. Um...it's a gift. You liked it so much I'd be happy to do it. Though it's not going to be perfect, but...But I'll try to make you a whole quart if you want. If not, then I'll go buy you some. After all we're friends right? And I can't have a friend pay me back for such a thing."

"You're so nice Aoi-san!" Shiori said with a slight pout. "How about um... we make the ice cream together? That way I can get practice in and we can still hang out. And you wouldn't have to make up an excuse for us to hang out! Er, assuming your parents would be okay with us cooking together at... someone's house."

She paused, wondering whose house they would make the ice cream at if Aoi-san was okay with it. Though she was fine with it, her younger siblings might want to help out or her mom would hover and be a nuisance. She and Aoi-san wouldn't be able to talk about Shiori's art or Aoi-san's drawings if there were people around - not unrestricted, anyway. They would still be able to, but it'd be a censored version.

And if the subject of personas came up, they'd have to scratch it immediately. There was no way Shiori would talk about the personas around her family! They already thought she was weird - saying an apparition appeared in front of her would just cement their belief that she was crazy.

Miskai thought quickly. She couldn't bring Shiori home with her. There were several reasons, the first four being Hotoro, Tomako, Nami and Keito. Her elder sister would start questioning Shiori about her reasons to be there, and if Shiori brought up her drawings Hotoro would make snide comments about how art wasn't worth doing. Tomako would probably get jealous, and Nami and Keito would want to get involved in the ice cream.

She rubbed her head, she wanted to get to know Shiori better in a place that neither of them felt unsure. Pausing she blinked and smiled, "Oh I know, maybe Keiichi-senpai would let us use the club room during the week. That way we could make the stuff and not have to worry about anyone bothering us."
