Jack Skellington's Cookies
Who: Adam and Kami
What: Cookie baking... Is Kami hosting a Wilton seminar now?
Where: Kami's apartment, 607
When: Tuesday, December 14th
Warnings: Impromptu karaoke?

Kami had been pleasantly surprised with Adam had arrived at her door at the time suggested, even more pleased when he came bearing over half of the ingredients she mentioned they would need. The good half, too, not flour or sugar or baking soda - all things she had on hand at all times. He had also brought the movie and she could not resist an audible noise of joy upon seeing it.

Even better than his contributions, though, was Adam himself. He had proved a quick study, very good at following directions, and there were no moments of strange, unexplained control-issues like with Prudence. Kami finished pulling the plastic wrap taut over the bowl of dough and slipped it into the refrigerator to rest. Then she turned to smile brilliantly at her temporary student. "It has to stay in there for at least an hour," she announced. She glanced at the counters and her smile grew even more. While they were not completely returned to the sparkling condition of pre-baking, Adam had clearly been cleaning as she finished the dough and the sink was empty of most bowls and spoons, all of the various containers and bags sealed back up safely to prevent spillage. She sighed dramatically. "You are amazing," she continued. "I could kiss you for that."

Seeing his eyebrow raise at the comment, she giggled and reached for his hand to give it a squeeze. "Don't worry. I won't. Thank you, though. Now..." She turned back to the refrigerator. "What do you want to drink while we get our movie on?"

Kami gave him a dubious look, eyebrow raised in the best manner of silent screen stars of old. Then she broke into another smile and shook her head. "How about we just stick with royal icing and sprinkles?" she suggested. "Less chance of making these Nightmare Before Christmas cookies, you know?"

Mention of the movie caused her to turn back to the television and Kami suddenly laughed softly. "Oh, Jack," she murmured as the Pumpkin King stumbled around Christmastown in amazement. "He can't help himself, can he? God, can you imagine being a skeleton with an existential crisis? How awkward!"

Adam found the idea of Nightmare Before Christmas cookies remarkably appealing, but that seemed a thought best kept to himself, at least for the moment. Still, he smiled at the mental image it provided. It lent him a whole new appreciation for the film, as his mind began to wander to various movie-inspired treats he might be able to create for the next Halloween. His siblings would want to be involved, of course, and Pru's help could be invaluable. He started a mental checklist to determine what people and materials might be necessary, and was soon distracted from the film altogether. Still, he smiled at her joke, nodding his agreement before descending back into his own ridiculous plans.
