((;D))
Belle winced. "Eergh. Chili and chocolate. Great alliteration, but . . . eergh." She shuddered, but grinned again a moment later. "Yup, that was the silver lining to it all. Plus I had my dad sent over toffee every once and a while, not often, but hey, it was toffee, right?" She looked around as they continued to walk. "Wow, there're loads of paintings around here," she commented, referring to the paintings of fruit that adorned the walls.

Jade nodded her agreement. "Oh no! they're all of fruit! They're making me hungrier!" Jade thought a moment, then said, "Hey, what abou m&ms and chocolate sprinkles and hot fudge? Should we put them on our chocolate sundae? And should the cherry be chocolate covered, too since everything else is? Or should it be plain? Or we could just leave it out. Do you even like cherries? What's your favorite fruit? I like peaches, but not canned cuz then they get all slimy and wierd. I mean, half the reason I like them is cuz they're fuzzy. I like fuzzy and furry stuff."

"Oooh, yes, most definitely!" Belle agreed vehemently. "'Specially the hot fudge, I love hot fudge! And I think we need two cherries, so we can each have one, and that one should be plain 'cause I doubt they have chocolate-covered cherries in there and I don't know how to make them short of melting chocolate and dipping them into it, and I just love raspberries, and peaches are awesome too, and canned peaches are only okay when you have nothing else at all."
She nodded, emphasizing her point, and then took a deep breath. It seemed that someone else talking a lot- and fast- didn't slow her down; it sped her up.

"Yeah. We don't want the sundae to get too rich. That would be bad. I love raspberries, too." Jade paused, "I also love applesauce, especially when it's homemade. My dad used to make this awesome applesauce. He would put red hots in it and serve it warm so it would be warm, pink, cinnimon applesauce. It was great!"

"That sounds-" Belle had been about to say 'delicious,' but broke off a moment before doing so. "Whoa," she said, pointing to a painting. "Look at that pear!" She was so hungry it looked perfect. It was almost the feeling of going grocery shopping when hungry- you wanted to buy everything. And she wanted to eat this pear, even if it was painted.
She couldn't help it. She approached the painting and touched the pear. "Wow. Look at this fruit!" And then she jumped back in surprise with a shriek as an opening appeared.
((Want to continue in this thread, or start a new one in the kitchens?))

"Oh my God! What did you do? You broke it! Or did some kind of magic without knowing it. Or..." Jade broke off, then started screaming again, just as screechily as ever. "You know how to do spells without talking! I didn't think that was possible! Where did you learn how? Teach me how!" Suddenly, a wierd creature with bat-like ears and wearing a filthy toga came out.
"Do Misses want something? If not, you had better go. Your shrieking is hurting our ears, Misses. If you stop, you can come in," the freaky-looking thing said.
"Um...Ok, I'll come in. What are those things?" Jade whispered to Belle.
((Don't really care.))

"I don't know nonverbal magic yet!" Belle exclaimed, almost as if she were protesting to the painting itself. "That wasn't supposed to happen!" That was about when the house elf emerged, and Belle realized where they had to be: the kitchens.
"It's a house elf," she whispered. "I think we found the kitchens. Come on!" She cautiously entered the room they'd discovered, and gestured for Jade to follow her.

"Ooh!" Jade exclaimed, following Belle into the biggest kitchen she had ever seen, "I hope these freaky-lookin' whaddya call ums--'house elves' know how to make the world's chocolateyest sundae, cuz if they don't we'll have to find all the stuff on our own and this is by far the hugest kitchen I've ever seen. I'll get lost!

"I bet they know where to find everything, I've been to houses with house elves before, they always know their way around the kitchen, and these house elves have to be the house elves that cook for all of us students every day, so they ought to!" Belle rationalized, albeit quickly.
One of the house elves asked "Misses, is there something we can get Misses?" Belle grinned at Jade, and then began listing."We need a brownie and chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup and bits of chocolate cookies and bits of toffee and two cherries or chocolate covered cherries or, ooooh, both!" She stopped, and then looked at Jade. "Your turn! I know I forgot loads of stuff!"
((House elf grammar is painful. >.< And difficult.))

"Um...we also need candy bars and hot fudge and chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinkles and chocolate whipped cream or if you don't have chocolate, plain is fine...or if you have both, that would be awesome." Jade listed off everything else she could remember, "Oh, and we'll need spoons and ...one bowl or two?" she asked Belle, "with one it would be bigger, but two would be more sanitary."

Belle shrugged, still grinning. "I could care less whether it's sanitary. The bigger the better!" she declared. That saying was only true when you were trying to make the world's most chocolatey sundae. But they were, so it was absolutely true and absolutely appropriate, in her mind at any rate.

"Ok, one bowl it is...good service," Jade whispered as a house elf hurried up to them happily, staggering under the weight of all the chocolate. "Ooh! I can't wait! This is gonna be sooo yummy! I love these house elves!"

"Oh wow, that's loads of chocolate," Belle said, almost reverently. "I can't wait, either!" She grabbed the bowl, and had to grab it with her other hand as well- that was one large bowl. She placed it on the counter of the kitchen, and then attempted to relieve the house elf of its burden, but was thwarted halfway through. The house elf put the chocolate on the counter, and left the girls to their sundae-making with a bow.

"Ooh! What should we start with?" Jade rubbed her hands together excitedly. "I'm estatic! Sorry, Chocolate makes me super hyper, I can't help gettin a little wierd. It's the way God made me. It's what maketh me thpethial." Jade grinned. She always pronounced the S sounds in 'special' like th's when she was talking about herself being special because it made her giggle.

Belle giggled at Jade's lisping, and then suggested "I think the brownie should go on the bottom, and then the ice cream, and then we can put on the toppings. Or-" and she giggled again "-we can do it backwards and put the toppings on the bottom and then the ice cream and the brownie on top, that'd be hilarious."
