juliette stood at her kitchen island, surrounded by her friends and baking supplies. a camera was placed in front of them on the kitchen counter, backed as close to the wall as possible to get all nine of them in the frame.
"hey guys," nick began, turning his attention away from juniper and towards the camera. everyone got quiet as nick introduced the video, knowing that he'd only shout at them if they didn't. "today we are doing a baking challenge. and there will be-"
"there will be three teams," chris interrupts, earning a glare from his brother. "me, matt, and kai on one, nick, alahna, and june on another, and jules, dennis, and pen on the last." he gestures around to everyone stood in the kitchen, each of them separating themselves into their groups. "we're also in the twins kitchen because it's much bigger than ours."
nick then took back his moment to speak, going over the rules of the challenge. it was simple, play fair and no cheating. "any mischievousness from any group member will result in a penalty." this penalty being that said group member would decorate their cake blindfolded. "may the best win," he concludes, giving the camera a toothy grin.
out of the nine of them, the only ones who knew how to properly bake were juliette and penelope, giving their team an advantage. putting them on a team together was probably not the best decision. especially considering that chris and malachi had no baking experience whatsoever. matt had learned to bake very little from juliette, which only helped them out very little. god knows a disaster is only waiting to happen, putting chris and malachi together in a kitchen.
as for the 'homosexies,' a name june came up with, they were somewhere in the middle. juniper learned the very basics to baking from her mother, but never took it on as a hobby like juliette did. alahna baked from time to time, but never enough to call herself a professional. as for nick, well, let's just say it is not his strong suit.
he once almost set his own kitchen on fire trying to make cookies. juliette then decided it was best to take away his baking privileges, unless supervised by someone who actually knew what they were doing.
silly nick.

laughter echoed throughout the kitchen, as dennis tickled juliette who was very carefully trying to pour the batter into the pan. "dennis," she laughs out, squirming around in her stance, gripping the bowl a little harder than before, so it didn't slip between her hands.
he tickles her again, dismissing her contagious plea to stop, causing the girl to laugh a little louder than before, drawing the attention of matt who was across the kitchen. he turns his head to look at the two of them, observing how happy the girl looks. his eyes slow pool with jealousy and a frown paints it's way onto his face.
the sturniolo boy sighs and turns back around, shaking his head very slightly to try and block out juliette and her romeo.
it doesn't work.
to matt, it feels like it's only gotten louder, and he can't wait for this challenge to be over. he almost tosses his cake into the oven out of frustration, but chris grabs it from his hands before he can do so. he wished it was him making her laugh, instead of dennis.
poor, poor boy.
chris, penelope, and nick each place their cakes into the oven to bake, as alahna sets a timer. nick then closes the oven door and moves to stand in front of the camera, to tell them that they'll be back after they've cleaned up the kitchen and the cakes are done.

"hey guys! we're back," chris says into camera, placing it back into its former spot. he backs away to stand beside his team, who stood in front of their cake. it looked decent enough to be presentable as an actual cake, but was nothing in comparison to the other teams.
to make matters worse for the three boys, and most likely ruin their chance to win the competition, chris had to decorate the cake blindfolded. matt nearly shouted at him earlier, because chris wouldn't stop bothering alahna.
"while the cakes were baking, we came up with a judging system. since we're at june and jules' house, we're gonna have isabella and edward judge them by taste. as for presentation, there will be a poll on our group instagram," nick states.
they all look towards chris, grinning like little children who fought to hold back their laughter. "chris here," nick announces, turning to look at his younger brother, "got his team a penalty. which, and to be completely honest, was expected." the boy laughs, knowing that the outcome of this will most likely be horrible.
the youngest triplet only shrugs at the camera, picking up the fabric that was placed in front of him on the countertop. he carefully ties it around his head, trying his best not to accidentally pull his own hair.
he does quite possibly the worst job at decorating the cake, which again, was expected. silly chris. as for the second team, nick, juniper, and alahna worked collectively to try and make the best of what they had. although, it was nothing compared to the last team. juliette had won her team both parts of the competition, because their cake was a 'work of art,' as her mother had said.
everything that girl touched turned into art.
