Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

Dom had been pretty thoroughly annoyed when some random curly-haired kid started banging on his door at way-too-freaking-early o'clock Saturday morning. But that was Fandom: It was never going to let anybody sleep in the day after a dance. Not when it had a chance to screw with people's lives like this.

After he'd talked to Luca for long enough to figure out what was going on, he sent Gert a text and then went on over to the common room. He wasn't some great chef, but give him a box of pancake mix and he could follow the instructions.

Luca insisted on helping, which mostly consisted of dumping half the milk on the counter instead of in the bowl. "And can we put chocolate chips in them?" he asked. "Please?"

Dom glanced over from where he was trying to track down the paper towels. "Tell you what, buddy," he said. "I bet we can put peanut butter and chocolate chips in them."

Luca grinned in satisfaction and kept "helping" as Dominic made what was probably an insane number of pancakes. But he figured they'd get eaten. They always did on weekends like this.

[OOC: Open common room. With pancakes.]

"Yeah," Gert said, rubbing her own temples. "It's probably better to just not explain the specifics and wait for it to undo itself by Monday. But if anything I say seems weird, that's why."

"Okay, you make a compelling point," Gert said, actually looking apologetic. She hadn't thought about boy-Bay's perspective, even if he was only going to be around for another day or so. "Well, I got a text from a number saved in my phone as Bay Kennish, who's my best friend on this island and looks... pretty much just like you as a girl."

She shot Luca a look. "Never go to school here."

"Never ever," a wide-eyed Luca promised, then looked over at his dad. "I don't want to turn into a girl."
arsenicmauls: (pos: that went well)

"Cool," Gert said, offering Bay -- Dom -- a smile. "It'd suck to be BFF-less."

She ruffled Luca's hair before noting, "Incidentally, being a girl is way cooler than being a guy. I do speak from experience there. That was a sucky weekend."

"But girls have to pee sitting down," Luca said, as if it were some kind of trump card. He sounded happier; whatever weirdness was going on between his parents, it seemed to him as though the worst of it had passed.

"What's wrong with sitting down?" Gert reasoned playfully. "Boys have to shave every day or get scratchy faces."
