After School

[Crash Bandicoot]

"I KNOW that! Shut up!", he snapped, pelting Ari with more marshmallows. He had a slight blush on his face but only because Ari had made him feel completely stupid. "And fine! What do you suggest?"

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari shrugged her shoulders, knowing she would get a reaction from him. "I don't know," she said, trying to act nonchalant.

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash growled something and sighed heavily, starting to get out ingredients for pancakes. "Pancakes ok? Or are flour and sugar not supposed to go together?" he mumbled under his breath with a slight smile.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari laughed and walked over to the cupboard, pulling chocolate chips out. "You're missing an ingredient," she said, tossing the bag to him.

[Crash Bandicoot]

Hearing the sound of rustling, Crash quickly turned his body and caught the bag in his teeth. Then he tossed them in the air, catching them where they fell into his arms. He smirked and opened them up, scooping out a handful and emptying them into his open mouth. "Oh yeah. That takes mad skill."

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari chuckled, grabbing the ingredients to make the pancakes on her way over to him. She reached on her tiptoes for the bowl over his head, straining to reach it. Her hand fell, empty. "Crap. Too short."

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash looked at Ari, then turned to glance at the bowl over his head. He returned his look to her where he pouted. "Awww. Is someone a wittle short?" He smirked and popped more chocolate into his mouth.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari glared and elbowed him in the stomach as hard as she could.

[Crash Bandicoot]

The force behind Ari's jab actually made Crash spit out the chocolate chips, where some landed on the floor, and the rest on the front of Ari's shirt. He pursed his lips and couldn't help but chuckle a little. "See what happens when you stand near me? You brought this on yourself." Smirking as usual, Crash turned and grabbed the bowl, placing it on the counter while he started mixing ingredients.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari looked down at her shirt, hands sprayed out to the side. "One. Word. Ew," she said calmly, marching out of the kitchen and upstairs to her bedroom to change her shirt.

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash smirked and shook his head. "I told you not to stand close to me!" he called up the stairs. He'd gotten the batter done and ladled it onto the griddle. While he waited, he followed Ari up to her room, realizing he'd left his sunglasses somewhere in there. He waltzed in and started looking for them.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari turned around, not expecting company in her bedroom. She yanked her shirt down, which she had started to pull off. "GET OUT!" she shouted, stomping her foot childishly.

[Crash Bandicoot]

He rolled his eyes and continued looking. "Calm down. I just came in to look for my sunglasses, alright? No one's starin' at you so you got nothing to worry about." Crash moved things around, then got on his knees to look under the bed.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ar paced over to her bed and sat down, crossing her legs angrily and glaring, trying to make him leave.

[Crash Bandicoot]

After a while, he gave up with an irritated sigh. Crash looked at Ari to see her looking pissed at him but this only made him smirk. "You haven't seen them anywhere, have you?" he asked, making sure to take his good old time.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari rolled her eyes. "Pat the top of your head, numbskull."

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash pursed his lips and slowly brought his hand up to graze his hair. Ya...his fingers definitely brushed plastic. His eyes flicked over to Ari and he tossed her an irritated look before flicking her forehead and sauntering out of her room. Once back downstairs, he grabbed the bag of chocolate chips and started eating.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari chuckled and changed her shirt, throwing on a tee with a big purple dinosaur. She sauntered out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen, grabbing the bag of chocolate chips from Crash. "Uh uh. We need these for the pancakes."

[Crash Bandicoot]

His mind moving a little slower than his teeth, Crash ended up clamping down on nothing but air. He moaned a little in annoyance and shot Ari an accusing look. His mouth was open, ready to snap at her when he caught sight of her shirt. Crash didn't say anything for a while and then, "What happened? Get a little too hungry and ended up eating Barney?" He smirked at her and plugged the griddle into the wall.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari stuck her tongue out at him. "Nope. This was just clean." She started pouring the powder batter into a big mixing bowl and walked to the fridge to get the eggs.

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash beat her to the fridge and got the eggs. With a smirk, he set them on the counter and cracked 2 into the mixture. "So you're clean and slow. Wow. Whatta combination." Smirking, he popped a few more chocolate chips in his mouth, reaching behind Ari to get them.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari smacked him in the stomach and grabbed the measuring cup, filling it with water and pouring it into the mixture. "What else are me missing?" she asked, glancing over the ingredients.

[Crash Bandicoot]

He quickly looked over what was on the counter before finding the vanilla and dropping some in. "There. Maybe you should put the chocolate in before I...do...this..." Again, he dipped his hand into the bag and tossed them in his mouth. He made sure to swallow them all before Ari could grab a chainsaw and slice his head off.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari sighed, dumping the rest of the chocolate chips in; there were only four or five. She muttered incoherently under her breath and walked over to a cabinet, grabbing another full bag of chocolate chips and pouring it into the batter before Crash could grab some.

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash glared at her and swiftly turned away. "It's like you don't trust me. Jeez." He started pouring the batter onto the griddle, the pancakes spreading way big. While he waited, he grabbed the thing of milk and drank from it, then put it back and sat up on the counter. "You don't think that chocolate and pancakes are...too sweet?" he asked finally, his face scrunched up a little.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari shook her head slowly. "No. Freaking. Way. Have you ever had chocolate chip pancakes before?"

[Crash Bandicoot]

"No cuz I thought they'd be too freakin sweet!" He gave Ari a look and shook his head too. "Jeez, and you eat it with syrup? Why aren't you dead yet?" he mumbled.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari shook her head. "I personally don't eat them with syrup... but I do break my pancakes into strips and dip them in hot fudge... and I too am surprised that I have not died from my eating habits... or that I am not terribly obese."

[Crash Bandicoot]

Crash glared at her. That was just weird. You didn't eat pancakes with hot fudge, like what the heck? Once the first batch was done, he grabbed the whipped cream from the fridge and sprayed some on his "breakfast", then sprayed some on Ari's nose. Laughing darkly, he continued to eat but moved into the living room as to avoid Ari's blind fury.

[Arianna Rivers]

Ari, completely infuriated, grabbed the can of cream in one hand and a rolling pin in the other, trying to attack Crash with both.
