Authors Notes: I needed to do laundry this weekend so you write what you know I guess. And finally here's one from more of a Parker POV.

Spin Cycle
Climbing through a window was nothing new to Parker, but trying to do this while carrying a basket of her dirty clothes was a whole different story. She was starting to regret her decision to stop stealing new clothes whenever her stuff was too dirty.
Finding the stairs to the basement she went to start the clothes in the washing machine. She'd even looked up what to do so that everything would get clean.
After getting all the clothes, detergent, and buttons set she moved to go back upstairs and see if there was some cereal to eat while she waited. Before she made it all the way up she heard the sound of keys in the door.
Instead of trying to sneak up on the person, Parker tried a more direct approach.
"Hey Eliot!"
"Parker. What are you doing here? Wait no, did you break into my house?"
"Laundry. Yes. Do you have any cereal? I'm hungry," she responded while already walking towards his kitchen.
Eliot was taking this better than she thought he would. He hadn't even called her crazy yet, but when she saw him out of the corner of her eye his face was all red and he was taking loud breaths.
"You're mad aren't you?"
"No Parker I'm ecstatic."
She started grinning because she caught that he was joking, until she realized what that meant. "I just needed to borrow your washing machine and I figured it would be better if I left it here than tried to take it back to my place."
"Why haven't you tried to do this before? We've been working together for a long time now. What brought on the sudden need to start doing your laundry at my house?"
"Oh I've never done laundry before, but Sohpie told me that I should stop stealing clothes and stuff so I did."
When she finished explaining how she used to get clothes there a loud banging sound that was coming from the basement.
"Parker, you did read how to do laundry first right?"
"Yeah. You put the clothes in, turn on the water, and add soap," she said following Eliot to the door.
Walking down the stairs she could already see a layer bubbles coming out of the machine. "Uh oh."
"Uh oh's right Parker. How much detergent did you add?"
"The whole box. I wanted them to be extra clean. I guess that was a bad idea."
"Ya think? You only need to add up to this line," he explained holding up the cup that sat next to them empty box. "How about the next time you decide to do laundry go to the Laundromat near your place instead of breaking mine."
"Okay, but what do you do with the wet clothes?"
"Come on I'll show you how the dryer works."
