"And then get two cups of- no, not that one. Yeah, THAT one," Angela instructed. Caitlin ended up getting the right amount of flour in the bowl but a few flour on her face, since it puffed up a small flour cloud when it hit the bowl. She coughed a bit while swatting away whatever flour continued to fly towards her face. "Dude...your face," Angela commented. "O god what?" Caitlin groaned. "Pfft- You're pale now!" Angela said as she giggled at her friend's face. Caitlin whipped her phone out of her pocket and checked her face on her camera phone. Sure enough, there was flour on her face but it wasn't that obvious if one was a certain distance away from her.
Upon seeing her look of realization, Angela laughed while Caitlin quickly ran to the bathroom to wash her face. When she returned, she flicked her hands on Angela which caused her to get a bit wet. After finishing baking all the cookies, they got some plates out and put three on each of them, then left the plates in the respective shared rooms. Jade, Cady and Alexa's shared room first, Maegan, Sasha and Marnelli's room next, then theirs and Maddie's shared room last. After leaving the last plate, the two quickly freshened up, then left the house to do errands, but locked the door first since they were the only ones around at the moment. Besides, everyone else has their own copy of the key.
Before they could arrive first, Marnelli and Alexa returned from their classes. Marnelli rushed to her room to do her homework but instead saw a plate of cookies. She was ecstatic to see them and so was Alexa when she saw her plate.
A few moments later, the rest arrived from either their jobs or classes, but no Angela and Caitlin yet. They were the last. They all ate the cookies and really loved the taste. Without even a second thought, they all knew it was the work of Angela and Caitlin since they were both good in baking.
When the last two arrived home, Maddie was the first to notice. She got two gold stars and stuck one on each of their faces. "Thanks for the cookies!" Maddie said. She then turned around and left to go to the bathroom, leaving Caitlin and Angela to comprehend what happened. They felt their faces on where the gold star was placed and peeled it off.
"Anj...keep it, don't you hecking dare lose this," Cait said in a stern voice. "What?" Angela asked, confused. "I said keep it, don't lose it. The cinnamon roll of all real cinnamon rolls has gifted us with le holy gold star," Caitlin joked. Angela laughed at the realization of where her sentence was going while Cait used this as the perfect opportunity to get her gold star. "OI!" Angela yelled. "Wait, I have an empty journal where we can stick this on...you really need to be more chill, Angela," Cait explained. Angela stopped fussing and allowed Cait to do her thing with the stars. After that, Alexa and Jade cooked dinner, everyone ate, did their last few remaining tasks, talked to each other for a bit, then went to bed.
