(Baking Cookies)

*September 16th, 1941*

*5:42 pm*

It was a beautiful evening as Carrie, Allison, and Nancy were baking cookies for their friends in Carrie's home.

"Thank you so much for inviting us, I always wanted to do something like this" Allison had spoken out as he let out a smile while mixing the cookie dough before preparing for the next phase of the process.

"Of course, I wish Anya and the others could join as but they're too busy It seems however I know that they're enjoy the cookies so we should also put our love into it as well" Carrie had spoken back to Allison as she walked over to wash her hands while Allison nodded his head in agreement.

"So, are we gonna take the cookies to school tomorrow or we'll have to swing by your place once again?" Nancy had asked Carrie in a tone of curiosity as she was met with her friend nodding her head in confirmation regarding the latter.

"We'll have to leave the cookies in the oven for the rest of the evening until tomorrow so that way, we could all enjoy them here once school is done for the day but we could still try out a few beforehand" Carrie had answered back as she was putting some things back in her refrigerator while Nancy nodded her head in understandment as she spoke once more.

"That's swell to hear, I'm sure that everyone is gonna enjoy the cookies we're preparing as well. We've put our friendship and love into them so I'm hoping it's gonna be worth it in the end" Nancy had spoken out while Allison and Carrie nodded their heads in agreement.

"I honestly hope for the same as well which is why we're helping each other doing this task. I remember being quite shy when I first met you, Anya, and Charlotte however it was Russell and you guys who helped me become more open so It's kinda my way of saying thanks to you guys" Carrie had spoken out to Nancy which made her smile while Allison watched everything while putting the cookies in the oven.

"Hey, what do you guys wanna do while we wait for the cookies to be done? I was thinking we could play monopoly or cards as we wait but we could do something else?" Allison had asked his friends while waiting for a response.

"I was thinking of continuing to chat with the best people in the world while we wait for the cookies to be done…" Carrie had answered back which made the others smile back as she and Allison made their way towards the living room as they sat down on the couches.

"By the way. I was meaning to ask, Why does Judith dislike you and the others so much? She really came off as mean towards you guys alongside her cousin" Allison had asked his friends while waiting for an answer as Nancy began to speak.

"My guess is that Judith was jealous that Anya was friends with Calvin whom she liked so I guess bullying us is her way of payback or whatever but I honestly thought she was gonna be done with us after Emma rightfully slapped her back in the festival but It seems that I was wrong" Nancy had answered back while Allison nodded his head in understandment.

"I see. That's honestly very petty of Judith, she seems like a very petty person and I hope that she and Neville can just leave you guys alone" Allison had spoken back to his friends as Nancy and Carrie nodded their heads in agreement.

"I agree. I just hope that Judith can learn to be more kind to others but to change topics. How's school been going for you? I know you are new here so I hope that you are feeling welcome" Carrie had asked Allison while her friend quickly began to speak.

"School and everything else has honestly been going pretty good so far and you guys have honestly made things better for me as well and thanks for asking!" Allison had answered back in a joyful tone of voice as his comments made Nancy and Carrie smile with relief.

"Good to hear! I was also thinking that we should all get pizza or at least make one and share it with all of our friends" Carrie had suggested to Allison and Nancy as this struck curiosity for the young boy.

"What's a pizza? I heard of it but I never really cared to press on regarding that matter." Allison had asked her friend in a tone of curiosity as Carrie was happy to explain everything.

"It's a dish that came from Italy and It's pretty much bread with cheese on top but you can add whatever you want such as pepperoni, olives, sausages, and whatever your heart desires but as long as it actually goes with the pizza of course but we gotta pick a day when everyone is free of course" Carrie had explained to Allison as this seemed to piqued his interest as his expression was that of wonder.

"That sounds quite nice. I'm definitely open to trying a pizza with you guys one of these days and I might get my mother a pizza as well" Allison had spoken back as the pair shared a smile together while Nancy got up to check if the cookies were ready or not.

"Maybe we should go on Saturday. I'm sure that everyone will be free on that day and I could see if Charlotte could possibly invite Mary and Emma as well and don't worry, I'll pay for the food so It's on me" Nancy had advised her friends as this brought joyful expressions to their faces.

"Really? If so then thank you so much in advance and It should only be around five bucks for everyone so I hope you don't mind" Carrie had advised Nancy while she simply shrugged off the concern.

"I don't mind and spending money for my friends is something I love to do but to change the subject, the cookies should be done in twenty minutes or so I was thinking we could play a game of cards until than" Nancy had suggested as she was met with Carrie and Allison nodding their heads in agreement.

"Wonderful! I'll get the cards from my room so be sure to hold tight, okay?" Carrie had advised her friends as she quickly went towards her room to retrieve the cards while thinking about the events of today.

"Can't believe Allison has never heard of pizza before but it makes sense since you can't just walk in to order one unless you live here or places like Chicago but, this is why I'm here to ensure that my friends are happy" Carrie had thought to herself with a smile on her face before going back to the living room area to continue in fellowship amongst her friends.
