"Pipes, look, Pipes!" Alex wiggled a collection of raw tentacles in Piper's face as she laughed
"Christ Alex, put them down" She snatched them from her hands a little too harshly and felt them squelch, scrunching her face up in disgust she dropped them back on to the chopping board "you're meant to be helping, not playing with it. My parents will be here in..." she checked the clock on the oven "shit! Here cut the squid" Piper thrust the knife into her hands slapped her on the shoulder a few times before rushing off in the direction of the lounge "Hey wait" she stopped and looked back at Alex, jutting her chin forward and raising her eyebrows in question. Alex wiggled a tiny, dismembered tentacle at her "byeeeee Pipes, we loooove you"
"Oh my God" Piper looked appalled "you are insane" Alex laughed and turned back to her task
"You know, it really wouldn't kill you to loosen up" she heard a very far away "fuck you" and couldn't help but smirk to herself.
