complete, day 33, nymphadora tonks, sarah williams

WHO: Tonks and Sarah Williams
WHAT: SLUMBER PARTY!
WHEN: Day 33, evening
WHERE: Sarah's room
WARNINGS: PG-13?
STATUS: Complete

Tonks really didn't know quite what to think about the whole thing. In truth, she didn't have all of the story, and she knew that. But she did know that someone was hurting, and she was too good-hearted to just sit back and let that continue. She'd liked the girl in their conversations, and thought it was more than time for them to meet in person. So she headed over to Sarah's room, stopping briefly in her own to pick up some pajamas. The rest, she figured, the Planet would provide.

First, however, she did stop at the kitchens, and picked up some ice cream. She couldn't decide for flavors, so got four different kinds. Two were normal, chocolate and vanilla, which she figured a muggle would hopefully like. The other two were wizard flavors, pumpkin and a special one that changed with each spoonful, much in the way of everyone favorite jelly beans.

Loaded down, she finally made her way to Sarah's dorm, and then to her door. The golems had been very helpful, all she'd had to do is ask where the girls room was and she was pointed in the right way. So, less than half an hour after their conversation, she found herself outside Sarah's room with her hands full. She knocked with an elbow, because that was all she could manage, and then blew some of her bright hair out of her eyes because she couldn't use her hands. Like her shirt, her hair was a brilliant, lovely green. She also wore a black skirt with black and pink leggings underneath.

As she waited for Sarah to open the door, she wondered what would happen. To be honest, as long as she had a good time, she didn't really much care. She'd been doing a lot of ringleading for trying to leave the Planet, and could use a nice break.

Tonks just shrugged slightly and kept smiling. To be honest, she didn't fully understand why someone would subconsciously make their room into a memory of a bad time, or their drink into something alchoholic. But it didn't bother her particularly, because she figured that it would all work out for Sarah in the end. That was just the sort of optimistic person she was. And, of course, she would do her best to make sure the brunette girl got there.

"Yeah, no prob..." She walked into the kitchen, glancing around at the beautiful kitchenware. She'd never been all that domestic, but she was pretty sure that someone who was would be blissful right about now. "Merlin... Mirage doesn't do things by halves, does it?" Everything they could need to make about half a million chocolate chip cookies was already out and waiting, and the witch whistled softly to herself.

"Oh... wizards do that to each other, too. I think it's a human thing, not just something muggles do." She frowned thoughtfully. "The Death Eaters are like that, doing things that are outlawed. But they don't much care, they do them anyway." She shrugged with one shoulder. "Human nature." She took out her wand and some flour poured out into a bowl, directed by her magic. "Oh, you don't look that young... I'm 24."

Sarah was completely taken aback by the sheer amount of cookie preparation materials set out and the amazingly huge kitchen equipment. "No!" she laughed and turned back toward Tonks, ending her circle. "It certainly does not do things by halves. We'd need an army to make all of the cookies it's possible to make with all of this!"

Passing her fingers over the ingredients on the counter, Sarah found a dozen or so cookbooks on one counter, all turned to differing versions of chocolate chip cookies. She read them off idly. "Grandma's Homemade Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Double Fudge Brownie Chocolate Chip, Coconut Hazelnut Dreams, Princess Ozma's Favorite Batch, Severus Snape's Secret Stash... Severus Snape? His parents must've hated him!"

She giggled and then glanced at Tonks. "Hey! I thought the idea was to get dirty. You're using your wand!" Sarah reached into a bag of flour, got a handful and tossed it at Tonks.

"The really silly thing is that I bet Mirage would give us an army of those stone men if we asked..." Somehow, the idea amused her, and she cracked up. Golems baking cookies? Definitely funny in her mind. The flour obediantly measured itself out as she chuckled to herself.

Her eyes widened as Sarah read off the names of the cookies. "Bloody hell... the great greasy git has his own cookie recipe?" She started laughing hard enough that she had to lean against a nearby counter to keep herself from falling over. "I really, really need to find him, just to throw this in his face..."

The flour came puffing toward her, and she squawked and tried to get out of the way. Of course, not being the most agile person over, she ended up tripping right into the cloud made by the flour. Barely keeping her feet, she glared at the girl, though was clearly amused. "Oh, you are asking for it, Missy!" She eyed the eggs, decided that would be too messy, and reached for the sugar instead. "I'll show you getting dirty!"

Sarah pictured a hundred concrete characters in fluffy grandma aprons baking cookies in synch. It was almost too much to bear. She snorted out a giggle and then laughed at the sound she'd made. This was becoming more fun than ever.

But then Tonks was laughing so hard that Sarah was sure she had missed something important that must have gone right over her head in there somewhere. "What? Who is a greasy git? What's so funny, Tonks?" She giggled as she watched Tonks laughing. The laughter was so infectious, just like the other woman's upbeat attitude.

Then the handful of flour was thrown and Tonks's pretty face and pink hair were suddenly muted by a fine mist of white powder. Which wasn't unbecoming in the least because Tonks's eyes were amused and appeared to Sarah to be glittering with revenge. Waving her hands up in front of herself defensively, Sarah continued to giggle. "No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't! Eeeee!"

The thing that Tonks had always found fascinating about laughter was how contagious it was. All it took was for Sarah to snort her own amusement, and she was howling like a hyena. Of course, it was the same way with sadness, too, about it being contagious. But that wasn't nearly as fun as laughter was, in her opinion.

She was still giggling to herself as she tried to explain. "Severus Snape! I know him!" And didn't at all find the image of him eating chocolate chip cookies to be fitting. Which only amused her all the more. "He's this... potions teacher... at the school I used to go to..." Her words were coming out between little gasps of laughter. "He's not the type who eats cookies." She looked over at the recipe and started giggling again.

The witch didn't even bother to shake the powder loose from her hair. She just dug her hands deep into the bag of sugar and pulled out a doubtle handful. "Yeah, I rather think I would..." She pulled the sugar out and flung it toward the pretty brunette, already laughing again. This was much more fun than actually baking...

Sarah hadn't felt this free or light in a long time. For some reason Jareth's face threatened to invade her thoughts and bring her back to a place of sadness and depression. She immediately forced the image from her mind and widened her eyes at Tonks in amusement.

"There's really someone named Severus Snape? And you know him? Oh no!" That struck her as even more funny than the name itself and her sides began to hurt with all of the laughter. She could hardly catch her breath and her cheeks were pink with the exertion.

Because of her non-stop laughter, her mouth was open when Tonks threw the sugar in her direction. She hardly had time to move before suddenly her hair and face and mouth were full of the sweet, crystalline stuff. She doubled over and almost tripped on her own feet as she shook her hair to get the sugar out of it.

"Oh, oh! You're in for it now!" she giggled and reached into a large container of oatmeal with both hands. Scooping out a handful, she threw them in Tonks's direction with a cry of, "It's war now!"

She grinned and nodded. "Oh yeah, and he's a right greasy git, too." Her dislike for the Potions Master showed through in her voice quite clearly. "I know him from back home. He's just about the most annoying person I've ever met." Which was definitely saying something, since she'd met some pretty annoying dark wizards.

She was glad that Sarah was laughing as much as she was. Not that she would have been self conscious about it even if she'd been the only one, but it was a nice sort of feeling laughing with someone else. She'd made friends here, but besides Marcus, they all seemed to keep disappearing.

The witch was laughing even harder as she saw the brunette girl splutter and try to get the sugar out of her hair. She smiled sweetly at her, but was somehow completely unprepared for the barrage of oatmeal. She managed to get her eyes closed in time, though it was a close thing. "War it is!" She announced, shaking the oats off her head and laying about her with anything she could find. Baking soda, salt, more sugar, brown sugar... it all went flying towards the pretty brunette girl.

"And... he... bakes... cookies?" Sarah said between snorts of amusement which made her laugh even harder. She had tears in her eyes now but she couldn't stop.

She grabbed a bag of coconut, ripped open the top and sent the contents toward Tonks like a flurry of snow while unsuccessfully dodging the volley of baking ingredients being thrown in her direction. "Look at me, I'm one big cookie now!" she shouted.

In the middle of everything, her elbow struck a carton of eggs on the counter and knocked it to the floor in front of her feet. The eggs cracked and oozed onto the floor in a huge, goopy mess. Sarah half-skated across the goo toward Tonks and nearly collided with the other woman. "Whoa! Watch out!!"

Then she collapsed on the floor on her but in a heap of giggles, trying to catch her breath.

That thought was just too much for Tonks. She would have fallen to the group giggling if it wasn't for the fact that she held herself up using the counter. "The great greasy git... in a pink apron... baking cookies!" As far as mental images went, it was probably up there with the funniest ones she'd ever had.

She gasped as the coconut floated down, still covered in the remnants of the previous attacks. She tried to dodge, but ended up being covered anyway. This, however, only amused her more. "You and me both!" A fact which only amused her more.

She glanced down at herself to check out the damage, and then up again in time to reach for the slipping woman. The idea was that she was going to steady her, but that didn't work out too well. In reality, Tonks was too busy laughing like a hyena to be all that steady herself.

As Sarah slid across the floor, Tonks reached for her. The end result of this was that they both ended up on the floor, giggling like idiots, covered with pretty much all the ingredients they would need to make cookies.

She had absolutely no idea what Severus Snape looked like but she had gotten a pretty distinct visual from his name alone. Combined with the fact that Tonks called him a greasy git and he was a teacher. Well the whole thing took the most absurd turn when a pink apron -- most likely ruffled! -- was added to the picture. It was all too much, in the best way.

"Let's just hope no one decides to try to bake US!" Which wasn't really funny if you thought about it but there was no stopping her laughter now. Or her slide forward toward Tonks, pulling flour and other ingredients down with her from the counters.

As the two of them ended up in a heap of giggles on the floor, Sarah tried to catch her breath. "Oh no, Tonks, are you ok?" she asked but she was still giggling. It hadn't hurt to fall at all and now she could see even more clearly what a mess they both were. "You're so dirty! I think I'm going to need that makeover tonight!"

She couldn't stop giggling about the whole idea of Snape in an apron. With his greasy hair... "The pink would set off his horrible skin tone so well!" She was just really too amused about this, no doubt about it. And she was starting to get a pretty good stitch in her side from laughing so much.

That mental image should have been amusing, being baked as a cookie. In her state, however, it was just about the most hilarious thing in the world. "In Mirage, cookie bakes you!" Then, she had to stop talking for awhile to get her breath back, and try to stop laughing.

"I'm fine..." Except for the stomachache she was getting from laughing so much, which she couldn't seem to stop doing. "Are you okay, Sarah?" They seemed to be somewhat tangled together, and this just struck her as more funny.

"And and it says Kiss the cook on the front with a big, glittery pair of lisps. Liss. Lips!"

Sarah burst out in another round of laughter at the reverse Russia joke about Mirage and cookies baking you. She hadn't heard one of them in a long time so it was like the cherry on top of an already hilarious gigglefest. She groaned and held her ribs as she laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks now.

She nodded and gasped for breath, still giggly and trying to stop. It wasn't easy but she managed even though she was grinning like an idiot at Tonks. "Yes, I'm ok. Oh my gosh what a rush! I have never laughed like that in my life!"
