Who: Anyone that might have gotten an invite to Jaden's party by someone
What: Cookie Party
When: Friday Night
Where: Jaden's place
Rating: Medium to High

The Garner home was a two level penthouse near Central Park. To most teenagers, the place was begging to have a party thrown in it, but this was the first that the boy that lived here had thrown. Most everyone was on the main level where the big screen tv was. The television would go back and forth between all of the various XBox games that were there and just random music that had been downloaded. There was a long table set up that contained various kinds of cookies, some of the cookies had been upon request, some were classics, and some seemed experimental. Another smaller table contained random drinks, non-alcoholic for the most part, but a couple of these had already been spiked. It was also not the typical party. Whereas most parties thrown by teenagers had copious amounts of alcohol, this particular party seemed to have more of a BYOB status.

Some of the people had made it to the second floor, which was mostly a walkway that looked out over the first floor. It was also where the doorways to bedrooms, studies, and an exercise room that had a large variety of aerobic exercise machines. This floor was mainly occupied by people pulling pranks on the unsuspecting people below.

It was still early in the night, so the potential for wonderful disasters caused by sugar highs and those who feel alcohol should be at every party is very high.

Jaden had decided to spend most of his time in the kitchen in an attempt to keep himself calm about the fact that this little party had turned into something that was likely going to screw him over. Besides, with the number of people that had shown up, he needed to make some more cookies. He had originally made a plate of cookies for the small number of people he knew were coming, along with a few plates just for him. Now that there were so many people, he was pretty sure that wouldn't be enough, so he used that as an excuse to hideaway in the kitchen.

He knew that Mao would probably get onto him for hiding so much, and that is why he did come out and try to socialize every so often. He just didn't know what to do. His heart was racing faster than ever, and he was really having to watch his movements more than usual. His body was just not wanting to slow down. He recognized a few people as Wyrd Haven students, but the others, he had no clue. He had already lied to his parents about how many people had come over. If he was found out, who knows what they would do.

He went to the drink table and poured a cup, not realizing he had just gotten one of the spiked drinks. He then closed his eyes and tried to will himself to relax a bit.

Eden had been making her rounds saying hi to those she wanted to say hi to. She felt a little bad that there seemed to be a lot more people than Jaden probably originally thought. She was pleased that he did attempt to make something that she'd like...and she did. Strawberry cookies, who knew such a thing existed?

She had come that night not planning on drinking since she knew she'd be drinking the next night. Eden didn't want to over do it. But unfortunately she had grabbed one of the spiked drinks earlier in the night. She glanced around the party deciding to thank Jaden for the cookies. She spotted him over by the refreshment table. Good, she was thirsty anyway.

Eden forced her way through the crowd over to the table,

"Hey there" she shot him a smiled and grabbed a drink from the table. "Thanks for making the strawberry cookies for me, you're a doll." She then leaned in and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "So," she paused as she took of her drink, another spiked one (just her luck), "enjoying your 'little' party?"

Jaden's heart stopped momentarily when Eden kissed his cheek. It had never escaped him that she was a very cute girl. He knew the kiss didn't mean anything more than thanks, but still, he didn't receive kisses for any reason from cute girls often. Once his heart began beating again, he felt very warm around his face as it turned a light shade of red. He smiled sheepishly. "Itwasnothing," he told her, not realizing he had begun his chipmunk speech pattern. "Ijusttalkedtomymomandwefoundarecipeinoneofherbooks." This second time, he realized he was doing it. He took a large gulp of his drink. His face turning even redder now, he tried to speak again. "I found a recipe in one of my mom's books," he told her, happy he was able to slow himself down.

He forced himself to smile and nod. "Yeah," he managed to force himself to say, "I wasn't expecting it to get like this." He took another gulp of the drink. He noticed it tasted a little strange, but it wasn't bad enough to get him to stop drinking it. It was likely that alcohol wouldn't effect him much if he drank it slowly due to his increased metabolism, but since he was drinking a bit fast, his increased metabolism was actually causing him to become light headed. "Who are all these people anyways?"

Good thing that Eden passed off the whole him talking fast to him being a speedster. She might have been a little weirded out that he was freaking out over a little kiss. It would also make her super self-conscious...totally ruining her buzz. She got affectionate when she drank...so sue her. She giggled at him talking fast and was relieved when he chose to talk at a normal human speed.

"That's cool, I'm surprised such a thing exists. But I guess strawberry is sort of in the same realm of flavors as chocolate a vanilla. Now if I liked watermelon...that might be a different story," she took another bite of the cookie she had snagged from the table and washing it down with whatever it was that she was drinking. All she knew it was fluid and tasted good.

At his comment she gave a little laugh and shrugged, "Well you did use the word 'party' so this was inevitable." At his comment about who these people were she shook her head, "Fuck if I know. I think you might have to blame your best friend for this. The only people I know here are you and the band guys." She motioned with her cup to the crowd, "Do you recognize any of these guys from Wyrd?"

Jaden scratched his head as he thought about the whole idea of watermelon cookies. "Yeah," he said before taking another drink from the cup, "Not sure I could have done a cookie for that." He laughed a little for some reason. "They're pretty awesome aren't they?" His mood was slowly getting better, possibly due to the alcohol he was unknowingly consuming. He was just relating it to Eden. He had gotten past the kiss, mostly; however, it was more the fact that he knew her which helped him calm down a bit. "I can put some off to the side for you if you want?"

His cheeks grew red again from his ignorance, and he refilled his cup, with the same spiked drink. He likely would not actually get drunk, but he was enjoying this airy feeling he had. It felt like many of his concerns were just floating away. Eden was probably right about Mao being the likely reason for the large number of people. "Yeah," he told her, "I don't really know them, but I do recognize a few people from school." He watched a couple of people playing around with the dance game on the tv. It was strange. "Are they drunk?"

Eden smiled and glanced down into her cup as she swirled the liquid around. Jaden was a good kid, very sweet and...she guessed...kinda cute. It sucked that he didn't hang around the band more...even with Mao in the band. Toby had taken over as their bass player so now they were without a roadie. Maybe he could do that? But she wasn't going to propose it now. Maybe bring it up to the guys at the next rehearsal. Or who know Mao could be pimping that idea to Jack already. Speaking Jack, where was he? Not that she cared, but out of all the people there the members of Corporate Lobotomy were the only ones directly invited. She shrugged to herself, probably off making on some groupie.

Okay, he needed to stop blushing, in her stage of inebriation she was finding it far too adorable. Making her want to give him another smooch on the cheek...or pinch them...one or the other.

Eden tilted her head as she stared out at the crowd. A few did look a little familiar, they probably went to school with her but might not be in her crowd. Meaning she never really paid them any mind...she didn't like them nor did she hate them, she was just indifferent to their existence.

Eden tilted her head the other way as her eyes traveled to the group playing the dance game on the tv. She gave a little laugh and a shrug, "Probably." She took a sip of her drink and she focused back on Jaden. He had nice hair. Blonde hair was a dream to color. Elliott's hair had been a breeze to do. She moved a bit closer to him and let her hand come up and play with a couple strands of his hair,

"You ever considered getting some streaks in your hair. Green might look kind of cool?"

If someone had felt for Jaden's heartbeat at the moment, they would merely feel a vibration as his heart had now begun to beat almost twice as fast as normal, and since his heart beat faster than a normal person's heart already, he may actually have been rivaling hummingbirds at the moment. He smiled sheepishly as she played with the bit of hair, and yes, he was turning red again. "I never thought of doing that," he replied, having to work at each word hard to keep them flowing in a normal speed. He took another large drink from his cup. He tried to think of anything to say, but things weren't really coming to him. The part of his brain that was still attempting to focus was trying to visualize himself with green streaks, but the other part of his brain, which was on the bouncy side of tipsy, just kept saying 'A cute girl thinks you'd look cool with green hair! Do it!'

"Why green?" he asked in an almost breathless voice, feeling like an idiot the moment he did so. Who the hell cared why green? It was the only compromise between the two sides he was able to come up with. He chose to look at her hair momentarily. It was very cool. He wondered if he did say yes, would his hair look half as perfect with the new color as hers did with its colors? It made her look so damn cute.

He took another gulp of the drink, unknowingly allowing his buzz to persist. The good thing about that was the fact that if he had felt like this while not intoxicated at all, he likely would have tried to find something else to do. As it was, he merely just kept standing there, as though there was the only spot he wanted to be.

Eden was truly, truly oblivious to Jaden's reaction to her. She had spent so much time thinking that being interested in boys was a waste of time she was clueless to the reactions that boys have when they were around a cute girl. Which if she found out he thought that, she'd be flattered or she'd be turning red as much as he was. But as she couldn't read his mind she didn't really think much of it.

She shrugged at his question about why green, "Well I think it'd look good. It would go good with your coloring. And I'm thinking like a darker green, like forest green," she fluffed his hair with her hand a bit, "I could do it for you if you'd like, as you can tell I'm a bit of a hair coloring expert." She played with a section of her colored hair to prove her point.

An idea then came to Eden and with the alcohol swirling around in her system it seemed like a perfectly logical action...not strange at all. She leaned in closer to him and sniffed his neck. She leaned back with a little giggle,

"You smell like sugar cookies."

Jaden's mind was swirling at that point. His heart was beating extremely hard and fast. His body didn't want to sit still at all, and the alcohol that he was supplying his system with was trying to convince him that there was no reason he should stay still. He still wasn't getting worse than a buzz, but that was still more than anything he had ever felt before.

"YeahIhavebeenbakingsinceprettymuchthepartystartedImainlyhavejustbeentryingtostayoutofthewayandsincethereneededtobemorecookiesbecauseofmorepeopleIfigureditwasprobablyforthebest," the words just kept coming out of his mouth at hyper speed. He realized he was doing it the moment he stopped. He felt like an incredible idiot. His face was red, so another gulp of the drink went into his system. "I mean," he said, "I've been in the kitchen for a while."

Eden raised her eyebrow and giggled as he started speaking fast again. She took a sip of her drink and he slowed down.

"Thanks for slowing down for me speedster. Not all of us can understand squirrel speak," she gave a little laugh, "and I guess being in the kitchen making cookies like a crazy person explains the smell. Have you even gotten the chance to sample some of you delicacies yet? You made them you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor."

Jaden wished he would stop making a fool of himself. Eden was taking everything very well, so at least there was that. She actually seemed to be amused by him a bit. "Sorry," he replied sheepishly.

"Yeah," he told her, "I think only half the cookies I've made have actually made it out here." She knew about the little side effect of his power, so it wasn't like he needed to hide anything. Granted, he wasn't really thinking of hiding anything at the moment. It was actually only a small portion of his brain that was still preventing him from showing off for her. He took another drink from his cup, finishing off yet another cup. "Did you get everything you wanted?" he asked, "I could make some more for you if you want."
