"Hey Y/N!" Mabel said cheerfully with a large grin spread across her face. I looked at her with scepticism, I could tell she was up to something. I furrowed my eyebrows and put my hands on my hips.
"Yes?" I asked, my feet apart. Her grin only got bigger.
"Can you bake with me?" She asked, jumping up and down. How could I say no to her, but then at the same time she was definitely up to something. I crossed my arms my eyebrows still furrowed.
"What's the catch?" I asked, my eyes widening, wondering what she was going to say but chances were she wasn't going to say anything. We both paused, but as I expected she didn't say anything, all she did was turn around guide me to the kitchen. I shrugged, and paced behind her, my arms still crossed.
Once there, I saw Stanford standing there, he leant up against the fridge, reading from what looked like a book including baking recipes. He pushed his glasses up with his index finger, as he turned around placed book on the counter next to the fridge.
"You guys ready?" Mabel asked, but with me being skittish, I jumped out of my skin.
I raised a brow taking a quick glance at Ford, he met my eyes, as he too looked confused, but we both turned our attention to Mabel. "I mean I guess so?" My hands fell behind my back, and for a reply, he swiftly nodded his head.
"Alright! See you after you bake your cookies!" Mabel exclaimed gleefully, running out the kitchen and shutting the door behind her. Me and Ford looked at each other, not knowing what the hell just happened. I walked towards the door, and tried to open it. "I can't open it. It's either locked, or it's barricaded, with something incredibly heavy." I tried a few more times, but each time failed, I even tried barging into it. "Yep." I whispered under my breath. I saw Ford blushing, looking down at the ground scratching his neck. I smiled at him, even though he couldn't see it. I put on the apron Mabel insisted I brought, I guess it was for this occasion. I tied the bow around my waist, along with my hair, just up into a long ponytail. "I guess Mabel won't let us out until we bake the cookies, huh?" I said, his attention turned straight to me, he blushed even more. I stationed myself next to him, sliding the baking book in between the two of us. "Are you ready?" I asked, my hands in front of the counter.
"Huh? Oh uh yeah?" He scratched his neck, as I continued to wonder what was wrong with Ford, while reading what we were supposed to make.

"Now I understand why Mabel made me buy all that yesterday. I knew she was up to something." I rolled my eyes as I continued to read the recipe.

I looked up from the book, Ford stood there as still as a statue, his face was bright red, his face must have been hotter than the sun.
"Hey uh Ford, can you heat up the oven too 190 degrees celsius please?" I asked while grabbing line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
"Oh uh yeah of course." He said clearing his throat as I read step two.

I measured out 150g of softened salted butter, 80g of light brown muscovado sugar and 80g of granulated sugar, making sure there was no more and no less. Once measured, I poured it into a bowl.
