Dandy's World Christmas
Cosmo was baking. A wall of kids had formed at the kitchen door within minutes. Ginger decorated beside him — badly. A kid stared at her lopsided cookie. "What is that?" "...Abstract." They ate it whole. She exhaled. Sprout stirred soup in silence until a kid leaned on his arm uninvited. He went still. Then kept stirring. Faintly, down the hall — "—the PYRAMIDS and woolly mammoths existed at the same time—!" Silence. Then: "...can we get cookies?" Cosmo picked up the tray. Ginger grabbed a plate, nearly dropped it. Sprout took it from her wordlessly. They went together. The kids lost it when they walked in. Shelly blinked at the chaos — then noticed Cosmo sitting beside her, cheeks pink. "Keep going," he said quietly. "The pyramid thing was actually cool." She stared at him a beat too long. Then turned back, brighter than before. Sprout left last. Set a cookie beside her fossil on the way out. "Thanks, Sprout!" Hand raised. Already gone. //USER IS SHELLY//
