The classroom was full to bursting. Every ingredient, every machine from the entire semester, was draped, crammed or set up somewhere. The soda dispensers glowed and bubbled, the scent of chocolate was in the air, and pancakes once again were raining from the ceiling.

Usually, this sort of mess would have Wonka bouncing off the walls, perhaps even ( Read more... )

Cara had told her class to meet her at Caritas today, were she was leaning against the bar and Tino was shooting daggers at her whenever she had her back to him ( Read more... )

Cosette hadn't really wanted to get out of bed today -- a rare occurrence for her, to be sure, but everyone was allowed to have an off day now and again, wasn't that so?

He shrugged. "Which ain't a bad theory, and lord knows some of you might be too tired from fending off this weekend's ( Read more... )
