7. Cooks Are Cool

Raissa, Hiro, Maka, and Soul all sat around the fountain with their packages of food. Either from the cafeteria, or from home. Maka took a bit of her usual sandwich with honey mustard, and Raissa bit into a fluffy, homemade croissant filled with strawberry jelly that she had made for her and Hiro, and Soul with chewing on a corn dog.

Jamie and Kid strode up arm and arm with some of Kid's symmetrically cut sandwiches, and Liz and Patti had animal shaped pasta containers. Crona and Ragnarok were sharing some burritos, and Tsubaki had made her and Black Star some Japanese bentos with some pocky for dessert.

Everyone sat comfortably around each other, and Raissa didn't feel quite so lonely. These guys were a very nice welcoming committee to have in America, and she found herself smiling. Tsubaki smiled back, and asked, "Raissa, what is that you are eating?"

"Oh this?" Raissa asked, lifting her French cuisine, "it's a strawberry jelly filled croissant. I make them myself." Tsubaki nodded and then went back to her bento as Raissa asked, "You. . . You wanna try it?" Raissa was quite the cook, she didn't like to talk about it, but she loved to make things. Cakes, crepes, cupcakes, the whole shebang. She was a baker.

Tsubaki nodded after thanking her, and took a timid bite into the flaky warm crust of the strawberry-filled crescent roll. Her blue eyes widened, and she sighed contentedly, swallowing, "Wow, Raissa, you are a great cook!"

Raissa's eyebrows rose, "Really?"

Hiro nodded next to her, jelly spots around his lips and a distended stomach. Tsubaki passed around the little pastry for everyone to taste, and as everyone carefully nibbled away from each others bites, they all agreed with Tsubaki's conclusion.

Soul was the last to try, and smiled afterwards, "Nice French fry," he complimented, "Cooks are cool."

Raissa felt her face heat up, but for what, she was not sure. "Thank you. Soul."
