.

'DRAMA CLUB PRACTICES ARE SUSPENDED THIS WEEK FOR FUNDING SCHEMES AND BEGGARY' read the notice on the drama room door.

Instead, the members of the drama club were prepping for the bake sale planned for Saturday. After some wheedling with the Home Ec club for permission to use the room and even more wheedling to be allowed to put up ads and set up a table during lunch, things were well underway.

A few club members had already finished their contributions and were gone, leaving a boy who had to start over when he burned his batch (the smell wafting outside the open door), two girl who were spending more time talking than doing work, and Haruka. Haruka had her tablet on the counter, settled on a recipe for caramel chocolate cake, while she worked, taking her time as she went through each step. The kitchen station she was at was fairly standard so she didn't have much problem navigating but it was nice to not have to maneuver around people or fight for space anymore.

Haruka, meanwhile, seemed to listen in on Abendroth and Tanemoto's argument a little longer before turning her attention back to Hazama. She said with a smile,

"Cake. If things work out right, it'll be mini caramel chocolate cakes."

"Those sound really delicious!"

And they did. The prospect of caramel-covered, chocolate-y goodness was enough to make her temporarily forget how much her legs hurt.

"What's the next step, senpai?"

"Batter mixing," Haruka replied, moving over to give Hazama some room. Most of the ingredients were already in the main bowl, except for a few eggs and the cocoa. There was also a muffin-type of tray which had a bag of wax-paper like cups.

"Then into cups, add caramel, add more batter, bake, and then drizzle with frosting and more caramel.

Miyume nodded at each instruction, then remembered Haruka wouldn't be able to see her. She hadn't realized just how much non-verbal communication she used until recently.

"Okay, senpai! Leave it to me," she said brightly, happy to be of some kind of use here after all.

"Okay then. Let's get started then," Haruka replied with a smile. She picked up one of the eggs. "Just grab and throw the rest in."

She cracked the egg easily before tossing shells into the nearby empty bowl with surprising accuracy.

"Wow, senpai, you have good aim," she said brightly and chuckled.

Miyume picked up an egg and cracked with far more concentration than seemed necessary for such a simple task. She discarded the shell in the same bowl Haruka had.

"Would you like the honors of sacrificing the last of our chicken young in the name of delicious cake?" she asked teasingly, smile and tone completely innocent.

Haruka took the last egg with a certain solemnness. She bowed her head and declared, "Amitabha Buddha. May you and your fellow young be reborn into high parts of the food chain next time."

And then she cracked it and discarded the shell without another thought to it.

"Decision event: do you want to mix it or grease the cups?"

Miyume giggled. She was glad she'd come. This was much more fun than just sitting around her dorm room waiting for Mirai to text her. As enjoyable as the anticipation there could be.

"I'll mix it. We have an electric mixer, right?"

"Yep. Should be in the upper corner cabinet," Haruka replied. "Someone in the cooking club said it could be temperamental but should be okay with a firm hand?"

Haruka went over to the fridge and picked up some margarine she'd put into a small bowl earlier. She ripped off a sheet of paper towel and dipped it into the margarine, and started lightly greasing the paper cups one at a time before slotting them into the tray.

Just how temperamental was it? And how firm of a grip would she need? Miyume wondered these things as she went to the cabinet Haruka had indicated. She was able to get it open but the mixer appeared to be just out of her reach.

"It's too high for me to reach it," Miyume said, clearly dismayed. She looked around for a step or something she could use but to no avail.

"Hold on."

Haruka walked over and felt for the now open cabinet. She lightly brushed against Hazama as she touched the shelf with the mixer box and tip toed to push it over. The box scooted over more and more, nearing the edge and becoming more accessible. However-

"Ah-"

The box and the mixer began to fall.

Chloe meanwhile had been finishing putting away the things she had used to make the cookies. Lucky for Miyume and Haruka, she had been passing the cupboard they stood at when the box began to fall.

The German's hand shot out to catch the small box before her mind had caught up with the thought to do so. When thought and movement were on the same page, the taller girl awkwardly held the box out for either Miyume or Haruka to take.
