1st November: Creampuff

A/N: I wasn't exactly sure how to go about this one, and then someone, I don't remember who, mentioned the thought of them baking. Well, I don't really see them as baking, but maybe Laura receives a shipment of baked goods from her dad or something. And that's where this came from.

Packages from home were a welcome sight.

And Laura loved that her dad made sure to add little touches only she knew about (although the one time he included that bag of bear spray was a little much).

So when his latest care package arrived, she wasn't sure what to expect.

But when she opened the carefully packed box, she could have died.

There in a neat white box were half a dozen creampuffs from the bakery down the street from her house.

Her dad s handwritten note said I figured you would be missing these, so I had Peter make them up special. Don't eat them all too fast.

Peter had known Laura since she was a little girl; she used to walk from school down to the bakery on her way home. During the summer she would sweep up after hours and Peter would pay her in baked goods that hadn't been sold that day.

She was just about to bite into the first cream puff when Carmilla came in.

"What do we have here? Another package from daddy?" The dark haired girl said as she put her backpack down on her bed.

"As a matter of fact yes," Laura said, trying to hide her pleasure from her normally stuffy roommate, "he just sent this from home. They're baked goods in case you're wondering."

"I wasn't."

"Oh." The blonde looked down at the box. "You know he did send me half a dozen."

The vampire gave her a look that said 'do I look like I care' , but that didn't stop Laura. "If you'd like we can share them."

"You're asking if I want some of your cream puffs."

"Yeah, I guess I am." Laura opened the box and held it out to Carmilla. "Come on, they're really good."

For a minute, the black-haired girl studied the box, and then she reached in and took a cream puff.

The whole box was eaten in the afternoon.

Guess what I just wrote this with the whole speech recognition system. Don t expect it too often.
