can't seem to sleep either, so he decides to call Mari to see if she's up too.

surprised by the ring of her cellphone and picks it up, answering it in a sleepy tone, "...bonsoir?"

happy that she picked up "Bueno? Mari~ I didn't think you'd be awake~ I can't seem to sleep tonight Mari, what about you?"

recognises that voice and perks up, "Espagne! Ah~ How did you know I couldn't sleep~ Are you hiding under my bed, perhaps?" She chuckles and

walks about as she talks.

laughs "ah~ No

(stupid enter key) I'm not~ I've just been laying in bed for a few hours trying to sleep." sits up from his bed and puts on his shirt.

((Spain is a creeper C: Calling a woman so late.))

(( ... England is a creeper. Stalking people's plurks. >w> ))

(3 ))

((... :3* ))

( sh-shh iggy ; A ; )

((I am waiting for him to ask, SO...WHAT ARE YOU WEARING. 8D))

( WHAT ARE YOU WEARING. GURL SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT YEAH -lolidk- )

(PFFT YOU GUYS. XD)

chuckles and wanders back into her dark bedroom. She lies back on her bed, unmindful of her nightgown pooling around her thighs. "Mm, I've_

been walking around my house... I really can't seem to fall back asleep."

walks to his kitchen to get a glass of water "neither can I.... maybe it's just not a good night for us huh?" laughs a little.

shakes her head before remembering that he can't see it. "Non, non~ At least we have company like that~" She chuckles and picks idly at a_

loose thread on her gown.

looks into fridge after pouring self some water "huuh.... would it be too late for food? What do you think Mari?"

"Oh~? Food? Mmm, that's a good idea. Maybe we can sleep after we eat. Try that~" She gets up off the bed and walks to her kitchen, she knew_

there were leftovers from her dinner there.

scrounges around his fridge before finding some pasta that he made the day before "ah~ pasta sounds good~ "

found some stew left over. She waits for it to heat up in the microwave. "I found some stew~ We're going to have a feast, non?"

laughs as he heats up his food too " si~ food always makes me feel better~ "

picks up a spoon and starts eating the stew. "It does for me too~" She chuckles. "We should get together and cook a feast one day!"

starts eating away "hmm~ this was a good idea~ "

slurps the stew as she thinks about what they could make together. "We could combine one of our recipes~ And we have to invite everyone!"

munches "that would be a good idea~ I don't mind cooking for people~ "

"Oui~ It'll be so fun! When are you free, cher~?"

"Anytime Mari~ I'm good whenever you're ready~ as long as i'm not asleep.

she'll run out for ingredients the moment the sun comes up. "Mmm~ Let's hold it today then! I'll meet you at the market later?"

"Alright~ i'll meet you there~ "

waits for the sun to rise before changing into suitable clothes and walking out to the market. She looks around for the Spaniard.

already wandering around the market, currently busy deciding between the tomatos in one stall.

spots him and skips over, hugging him from behind. "Espagne~ bonjour!"

jumps a little before turning around to hug her "Buenos días~ are you ready to pick things out today? "

smiles at him. "D'accord~ What shall we cook today though?"

smiles sheepishly at her "I-I didn't have anything planned, I was hoping you would."

chuckles, "I don't have anything either, perhaps we should just get some random ingredients and let our creativity take over?" She grins.

nods "you're a great cook Mari~ i'm sure whatever you make will turn out great! ah, but! " points to the tomatos "It must have tomatos!"

grins, "D'accord~ You and your tomatoes~ It will have cheese too, hmm? Oh! Perhaps we could make a pizza!"

nods "Pizza sounds great~ that means we only need to concentrate on getting ingredients for the dough and the sauce~ "

looks about and points at the stall selling flour. "There~ Let's go!"

quickly buys a bag of tomatos from the stall, probably a little more than they really need "ah! Okay~ "

haggles with the stallowner about the price and manages to come away with a bag of good flour. "We have our flour~ Now for the sauce?"

lifts the bag of tomatos "I have enough tomatos here, unless you want something more for the sauce?" thinks for a moment "ah, garlic would

be good to get too!'

nods, "I have butter and herbs at home~ As well as oil. Well, get what you want to add on the pizza?"

looks around the market "hmm well.. we'll need som pepperoni for the toppings... and maybe some more. How about some mushrooms and sausage?"

just follows along and watches him pick up items. She's not quite sure what else to add to the pizza.

finishes buying everything, " okay~ I think this is it~ and I got some nice cheese too~ "

takes the cheese from him and agrees. "You have good taste!" She grins and then leads him to her house.

follows after her, carrying all the grocery bags.

opens the door and takes some bags from him. "Straight to the kitchen, hmm?" She leads him there and sets the bags down on the coutner.

*counter

starts looking through the bags, excited to get started. "Lets see... the dough needs to be made first.."

nods and brings out some mixing bowls. "Do you want to make that while I make the sauce~?"

smiles "sure~ I don't mind~ but make sure to use lots of tomatos, Mari~" takes one of the bowls and starts to measure out flour and salt.

chuckles and opens the sack of tomatoes. "Of course, it wouldn't be sauce without tomatoes~" She washes them before putting them in the_

grinder. (Idk how to make sauce with tomatoes /o/)

( just pretend you know \o\ lol maybe we should have bought the premade sauce fff )

pours the flour and all the ingredients needed for the dough in the bowl and starts mixing it with a wooden spoon.

(Pffft we should have. xDD)

mixes up the sauce with some water and herbs she grabs from the cupboard, she peeks over at Antonio once in a while.

( -durrrrr- )

finallly has the dough thick and workable and covers it and in flour before kneading it. completely concentrated on the work before him.

hums as she works, finishing the sauce before long and now turning her attention to the cheese. She grates it by hand now.

tosses the dough, carefull not to drop it. Still fully concentrated on making the dough perfect. Starts kneading it into a more circle shape

and starts pinching the crust up.

done with the sauce and cheese, so she watches Spain with the dough. She wonders where he got skills like that. Perhaps the Italians?

done with the dough and wipes at his head using his arm, leaving a trail of flour across his face. "okay~ the crust is done~"

chuckles and wipes at the flour on his face. "Well done, Espagne~ Here's the sauce." She hands him the bowl of sauce.

lets her wipe the flour off his face and takes the bowl "Gracias~" starts to carefully layer it over the dough.

watches him pour the sauce and smiles at how intent his expression is. He did everything with passion, she supposed.

finally done "here mari~ put on the cheese~ I'll cut up some of the toppings~"

brings over the bowl of grated cheese and begins scattering it on top of the sauce, making sure there's a thick layer of it. "This is going_

to be wonderful pizza~"

chops up the pepperoni, some sausage and ham, and some vegetables "yes it will be~ <3"

finishes putting the cheese on the pizza and turns to Spain. "You can add the toppings now~"

"okay then~ " takes the toppings over and starts placing them on the pizza, making sure all the toppings were spread out. "oven now right?"

nods and opens the oven. "I've already heated it while you put the toppings on~"

smiles "good~ we only have to set it for 30 minutes I believe... since the oven has been preheated~" slips the pizza carefully into the oven

.

closes the oven when the pizza is in, clapping her hands in a sense of finality. "There! We're done!" She grins at Spain. "Time to call the_

others to share the pizza?"

beams "yes~ the more the merrier~ "

(Now do we make a new thread calling people to eat? xD)

( sure xD )
