(Hi Hi~~ Sorry this is so late... I forgot to write it...)

"So, what do you want to do first?" Lizzy asked everyone.
Michael tilted his head in thought. "I don't know... I didn't really have a plan..."
"How about we decorate the cookies that our cutie baker here made first?!" He threw a pillow at Michael from across the living room.
The pillow hit him square in the face and everyone laughed. "Okay, I'll go get the cookies and decorations!"

*He walked into the kitchen and grabbed the trays of cookies and brought them to the dining room. He sat them down and went back for the decorations. He called them all into the dining room."

"Why are we doing it here?" Jeremey asked.
"I don't want to get any icing on the couch!" Michael chuckled out.

*The table was rectangular so they all sat on the longer sides. Jeremey took a seat next to Lizzy leaving Michael and Ben to sit next to each other on the opposite side. Michael sat across from Jeremey and Ben sat across from Lizzy.*

"So, how do we do this?" Lizzy questioned.
"Well you just take a cookie," Michael started to explain picking up a Santa cookie, "and you just add icing and sprinkles!" He piped on some red and white icing then put black sprinkles for buttons and eyes.
"Wow!!" Ben exclaimed and everyone started clapping.
"We have a professional over here!" Jeremey reached across the table and pulled Michael's hat down.
Ben's eyes widened. "Wow, you two seem so close in such a short time!"
Lizzy kicked Ben in the foot giving him an eye.

(Lizzy's Head) I hope he knows what I'm trying to say!! He looks so jealous!!

Michael laughed and pushed Ben's shoulder. "Stop being silly! I just met the guy! And of course I want to get close with Lizzy's future boyfriend!"
Lizzy blushed and swatted at Michael and Ben from across the table. "Don't say stupid things like that!!"
"Actually I wanted to talk to you about that..." Jeremey took her hand and led her out of the room.
"Well that was fast!!" Michael whispered and giggled.
"That was cute." Ben said in a quiet monotone voice.
"Sorry?"
Ben snapped back into reality and shifted his gaze from Michael's. "I just said that they'd make a cute couple!"
"They would wouldn't they?!" Michael went back to decorating cookies.

(Michael's Head) I'm in a room alone with him! Why do I feel hot? Why do I feel like he's watching me?! We're so close!! This isn't ok!!

"Are you ok?" Ben asked and Michael snapped his head over to him.
"Yea, I'm fine! Why?" Michael sounded calm but his hands were shaking and his face was getting red.
"Really," Ben grabbed Michael's hand. "Are you sure? Because you're hands are shaking."
"Y-yeah I'm fine!"
"And you are getting red," Ben put his hand on his forehead. "You're quite hot..." He said with a smirk.
Michael sat there dumbfounded.

(Ben's Head) I knew he'd take it that way... Maybe he'll get the picture... I mean I had to do something he was just so cute and vulnerable...

*Lizzy walked in with a red face and sat down not even realizing what was happening in front of her. Jeremey came in soon after with a questioning look. The boys were still in the same position.*

"Uh, Lizzy... I think we may have interrupted something..."
Ben let go of Michael's wrist and went back to decorating. "No everything is fine! Right Michael?"
Michael was in his own world and heard nothing of what he said.
"Michael? Michael!" Ben was trying to get Michael's attention.
"Ye-yeah?" Michael looked at everyone.
"Nothing! Never mind!" Ben shouted and pointed to the cookies. "You should get back to your cookies."
"Oh! Yeah I guess so!" He awkwardly giggled.
