Aqua nods and joins Neku, she wonders why someone would need help with the salad until she saw the list of items needed to be cut, tosses, mixed, and settled, "We're even making the dressing." She says softly as she begins to look around for the knifes.

I shrugged. "I was hanging around the bus stop waiting for someone I was s'posed to meet. Sora came in on the bus, and there was a huge crossing." I went to work chopping salad. I was generally good at cutting, mixing, and any other 'menial' cooking task that could be assigned. "Have you known him for a long time, Riku?"

"We were friends since Middle School. I was his best and only friend would keep the bullies off his back." Riku said as he continued to add spices and stir. "It wasn't easy having to leave him but my parents had OTHER ideas..." He didn't like remembering that part of his past.
((If you'd like to know more, I've written a story called Past Reflections. It's not a long read and I like it if you read it and told me what you think.))

I nodded. "Moving's rough," I said. "Can't tell you how many friends I've had to lose that way... at least we've managed to keep in touch..."

"Yeah, it wasn't easy... But at least I've found him again and that's always nice." Riku smiled a little. Maybe he and Sora could pick up where they were forced to leave off if he would let him in so he could help him. Riku shook those thoughts away, it was a party and it was a time for happiness even with Angel acting like he had a stick up his butt the size of east Texas.

"Yeah," I replied, thinking back over my own old friends. "Hmmm... that turkey smells good, you think it'll be ready soon?" I asked, changing the subject as I finished up with one of the salads.

Hmmm... I open the oven a little, "I hope so! Oh...! I wonder who she wanted to carve it... Hmmm..." Tempted to text Namine I decide against it because knowing her she'd just dump everything on me and then expect me to not react. So I sigh and close the oven again.

"I think it is," Sora shrugged, going over his own mental checklist. "Unless the owner of the house screwed up during the initial process we're good and ready."
He took it out of the oven and checked over everything, nicely spiced, looked like it was cooked all the way through, smelled good...everything seemed to be in order.

"Great! Now we just gotta keep it warm while we wait for the remaining guests," I had counted the list and the number of voices. This isn't all the people there is meant to be. "But we could taste test it first... Maybe."

"Better not. 1. It's still hot. 2. Namine wouldn't be happy I'll bet." Riku said plainly. "I just finished spicing and mashing the taters If you want to try that though."

Shiki had entered the kitchen behind Aqua, but just stood off to the side. Everyone seemed to know what they were doing. She, on the other hand, was afraid she'd mess something up. Cooking had never been her strong point, so she was hesitant to help with it. But leaving them to do everything and sitting back wasn't exactly what she wanted either. "Um, need anymore help?" She looked around and offered to anyone.

Smiling brightly, I brush my braid behind my back, "Actually... I need help making the three different drink mixes... Seems as if there are some under agers here." I smile weakly and pray I didn't insult anyone with that. Can't get into any fights today.

Inside, she was relieved. Drinks she could handle easily. Shiki walked over to Darla, "Then I'll pitch in." She smiled at Namine's cousin, and started with the first drink mix.

Riku glanced over at Shiki who had just entered. "Hey Shiki, nice to see you here. Glad you could join us." He said with a smile.

She nodded and smiled back, "Glad to help out."
