A/N: Cooking scene wouldn't get out of my head

Chapter 3: Chicken a la Klingon

"Hey Colin, I'm going to make dinner. Wanna help?" Andrew asked his cousin as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Yeah, sure." Colin said then he double backed, "Just let me put my camera in my room."

"I'll wait for you here." Andrew said stopping by the bottom of the stairs.

Colin quickly put his camera away but not before snapping a picture of Faith posing with a stake. She was one of the few girls who was okay with Colin randomly taking pictures. "Okay Andrew, I'm ready now."

Once they got to the kitchen, Andrew began rummaging through the cabinets. "I'm going to make chicken a la Klingon."

Colin grimaced before smirking, "Okay but how about instead you soak it in barbeque sauce instead of what you usually use. I mean the other way is fine but well…"

"Okay I'll try it your way but if it doesn't work I'm blaming you." Andrew said pointing a wooden spoon in Colin's direction. Colin smiled and shrugged. As Andrew was cooking the chicken, Colin was pulling out a large punch bowl he found. Then he started gathering ingredients. Andrew noticed this as he was putting dinner in the oven. "Whatcha making Col?"

"Pumpkin juice, it's really good. I learned how to make it from some of the house elves at Hogwarts." Colin responded as began mixing the ingredients together.

"House elf?" Andrew wondered.

"They're kinda like…" Colin paused for a minute thinking, "like if you took Golem shrunk him and gave him elf ears and gave it the personality of C3PO."

Andrew closed his eyes for a minute trying to visualize a house elf. Then he smiled, "They sound really cool."

"Yeah they're pretty nice." Colin replied stirring the pumpkin juice into what it was suppose to look like.

----------An hour later---------

"Okay Col, I'll put food on each plate and fill the glasses with pumpkin juice, then you take it to the table." Andrew said.

"Sure." Colin said taking the first pre-made plate to the table. The boys made short work of setting the table. When every place had food in front of it, Andrew rang a bell that signaled dinner was ready.

Everyone slowly trickled into the dining room and sat down. When everyone was seated, Andrew said loudly, "I present Chicken a la Klingon and the drink is pumpkin juice."Many of the girls groaned when he said chicken a la Klingon. Andrew pouted when no one took a bite, "Come on guys try it. It's different this time Colin helped."

One of the newer girls, Mandi picked up her fork, "I've had a good life, I'll try it." Everyone watched in anticipation as Mandi took a bite. "Wow it's actually good." Mandi said digging into her food.

Every one else started tentatively eating but smiled when they realized that the food was good and the drink was even better. Dawn stood up when most everyone was finished, "I think I speak for everyone when I say for as long as Colin is here, he must help with dinner."

"Agreed." Many of the other girls and Xander yelled.

Willow leaned over to Andrew and whispered, "I think in this area Colin is definitely the Master Jedi." Andrew only smiled and ruffled his cousin's hair.
