A/N: I feel like nobody really appreciates my story when I don't get reviews. This chapter is dedicated to Skyla Talon and RedNinjaRed (who gave me more than one).
It was a normal Tuesday afternoon. Lloyd was watching Zane make dinner, eagerly hoping to taste test. Cole was sprawled on the couch, listening to soft rock. Kai was in his room reluctantly doing his homework. Jay was at his comic-con club.
Zane pulled a scalding pan out of the oven. Chicken and rice were covered in a creamy sauce. The dish bubbled, its aroma filling the dorm. Lloyd eyed the meal meaningfully. He gave a small squeal of excitement when Zane relented and gave him a small spoonful. He burned his tongue but quickly decided it was worth it for the rich flavor that exploded over his taste buds.
Suddenly the door flung open and Jay bust in. "I am Thor, son of Odin. God of THUNDER!" he yelled. His fingers fizzling and sparking in miniature bursts of electricity.
His eminent presence startled everyone, especially Cole who had fallen off the couch in surprise. "What the heck, Jay! What was that!" Cole yelled from the floor.
Jay shrugged. "The guys at my comic-con club showed me this really cool movie called Thor. They said they'll show me, Avengers, next week."
"Dinner's ready!" Zane called, placing the chicken and rice at the table.
"Dinner?" Jay and Cole simultaneously asked, their eyes widening. They climbed over each other in an attempt to get to their seats first. While they competed Zane left to get Kai.
"Kai," Zane called, knocking on the door to the shared bedroom. "It's time to eat."
"It's Zane's turn to cook," Cole hollered from the table. "You won't want to miss it!"
"WHAT!" Kai's voice rang out as he stumbled through the door. "Zane was cooking and you guys didn't tell me!"
"I thought I just did," Cole teased.
"You didn't tell me fast enough!" Kai yelled in mock anger.
Splat! A glob of chicken and rice splattered over Kai's face.
Cole smirked as he held up the spoon he had used to fling the meal. "Was that fast enough for you?"
Kai ran a finger down the side of his face and tasted it. "Yes." With a scary sort of quiet rage, he walked over to the table, picked up a handful of blueberries, and smushed them all over Cole's face.
"Oh, it's on."
Within seconds, full out war erupted. Kai and Cole mostly went for each other.
Kai would heat up the food before throwing it, sometimes causing it to blow up in his face, but if he timed it right it would explode on his intended target. Cole used his strength to his advantage, picking up furniture to block food and then using them to build a fort-like structure. Lloyd would always take two handfuls of food. One to throw and one to scarf down in between pitching the edible weapons. Jay was a blur. His arms flinging food as fast as he could get some. At first, Zane was an easy target. He just stood in the open, not quite sure what to do. Though once he got into it, he completely disappeared. Only showing himself for a few seconds to throw something and then vanish again.
Half an hour later they were finished. Globs of sticky rice were stuck to the couches, the remnant of an apple pie hung from the ceiling, and the walls were so covered in food you couldn't tell what color they originally were.
Cole grinned as they all emerged from their various places to observe the mess. "That was great!" A piece of apple and crust hit him on the head. "Now who's gonna clean it up?"
