Robyn stood behind one of the tables, serving pancakes to the Freshmen and Sophomores. Everything was a little bit hectic, but their decorations, set-up, music, and everything in general was making the night very enjoyable. Robyn danced along to the music a bit as she moved from the griddles to the mob of students calling out for their pancakes.
"Two chocolate-chips for Amanda!" Robyn called out, handing the plate to the girl. "Who's next?" She asked.
Robyn spotted Lyra and waved to her, happy that the event was turning out so well, making for a great start for Homecoming. Robyn tried not to think of the dance on Saturday, and her lack of a date. Maybe she'd just go stag, or not go at all. She tried not to think about that, and just focus on the delicious scent of pancakes and maple syrup that was filling the air.

The worst part about this night was the student workers were not getting tips. Well, the students got a free ticket to the dance, but that wouldn't make up for serving pancakes to hungry kids at night. Lyra waved back to Robyn who was working hard. Lyra needed to get in there but she had to make sure students weren't cutting. She didn't want to be the mean president telling kids to get out of line, but c'mon, seniority, juniors don't cut the seniors. Walking between the cooking station, Lyra put a hand on Robyn's shoulders, hoping to not startle her, "doing good!" Lyra exclaimed to Robyn and grabbed a spare pate to serve the hungry upperclassmen on the opposite side.

Robyn turned when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She smiled when she saw it was Lyra, who was commending her work, "Thank you!" she said to her, as she served another student. "It's going really well, it looks like," she said. "Nice job!" Robyn was impressed with how much Lyra and the Dance Committee had put into this event. The only thing she had really done was show up to help, but she'd just received a message from the Headmistress that they'd be planning another event soon, which she was very excited for.

After unpacking her room, Roxy's stomach was growling like crazy. She was a tad nervous, not really knowing any of these people, but hey everyone was new at one point. 'I just need to be myself' She thought to herself, as corny as that sounded. She waited in line amongst strangers. She tried to initiate conversation with some guy, but he was too busy talking to one of his friends. The outdoors made her skin feel alive and the music that played through the air could help but make her bob up and down to the beat.
Finally, Roxy was next in line. "Hi! My name is Roxy. I'm a sophomore and I just moved in today. This whole set up thing is really cool, it has a fun vibe. What are your names?" She asked the girls behind the table serving the pancakes. It took her a second but then she finally remembered why she was in line in the first place. "OH! and can i get 2 blueberry pancakes please." She said with a giggle. Ugh, it amused her at how ditzy she was sometimes.

Lyra was very busy this week. Running between Student Council and Dance Committee was a lot of work but she could get it done. Halloween would be a fun event to plan too. She'd talk to Robyn about what they have in mind for Halloween, maybe a costume dance/day. "No more homecoming weeks for me, so that will be good," Lyra said to Robyn, almost in relief but she knew come next year Lyra would miss school-related activities. Maybe she should just fail and come back another year- uh no. That would suck. "Do you want any pancakes, Robyn?"
But customers...er students, were first. This girl introduced herself. Lyra did not know who she was but appreciated the introduction. "I'm Lyra, nice to meet you Roxy! You picked a fun time to come," Lyra said as she called out for two blueberry pancakes to be made.

Tobias walked to the courtyard. Lyra had told him something about food...
Food?
He walked around and spotted a line of people waiting to get pancakes. He joined the line and sighed. It looked like it was going to take a long time to get to the front. Luckily, Tobias was smart enough to wear warm clothes. He checked to make sure he still had his dorm key before settling down and waiting patiently.

"I'm good for now," she told Lyra. She'd get food when things were a bit less hectic.
A girl stepped up in front of the table and introduced herself, something that most other students hadn't done. As much as Robyn knew she had to keep the line moving, she wouldn't deny a new student any attention, being fairly new herself and knowing the feeling of not being known.
"Hey!" Robyn said to her, "I'm Robyn, pleasure to meet you!" Robyn heard Lyra give Roxy's order to the cooks, so she said, "How do you like oceanside so far?" she asked while she took another student's order.

"Hi Robyn, nice to meet you tooI love it! The campus is so nice." She said with a smile. She gratefully accepted the pancakes and began to eat. She stepped ti the side so that more students could continue to get food. "How long have you been here for?"
"These pancakes are delicious by the way!" SHe said, while scarfing down the second half of her first pancake.

"I'll be right back," Lyra said to Robyn, waving to Roxanne before walking out of the student workers section to walk down the line. She could of sworn she saw Tobias. Lyra's eyes lit up and a smile grew on her face as she saw TK. "Glad you could make it!" Lyra exclaimed when she saw him, hugging Tobias immediately.

Derek was flipping pancakes left and right, getting order after order. He was going to kill Lyra for dragging him into this. Well it was mostly his own fault, volunteering to help her when she asked. But he didn't know he'd be dual wielding spatulas. I mean, they were like keyblades and the pancakes were like heartless, he just went to work on them. Telling one of his freshmen friends to keep the orders in line, he worked on making sure the batter kept coming and making the pancakes as fluffy as possible. It didn't help people were so choosy. Why couldn't normal pancakes be sufficient enough?

Tobias hugged Lyra back and smiled. "This is a pretty good turnout for pancakes. Are they any good?" he asked, referring to the pancakes.
He gave her a smirk. "You can't get me to the front or bring me pancakes?" Tobias didn't want to wait in line. He just wanted food.

Artemis had heard the announcement of free pancakes. She made her way down to the court yard hearing where it was held. Happy it was on the grounds she really didnt feel like driving to Ihop.
Making her way out side she began to smell food. Sweet food! She thought. Looking around she saw Robyn,Derek Lyra and finally she saw Tobias. Looking around she saw another face she had never seen. "Huh more new kids"
"Hey you guys" She said waving to them all. Inhaling she smiled smelling the food. "Pancakes smell good" She smiled as she made her way closer to the crowd.

"I haven't tried them yet, but people are giving good umm, comments?" Lyra flashed a weak smile, unsure of what to call.. oh yeah, feedback! "People are giving them good feedback!" Lyra corrected herself. She walked backwards away from TK, standing on her tippytoes to check out the line. Lyra thinned her lips and groaned, "I shouldn't be doing this, it's not fair..." her voice trailed off and gave in. "Alright, come on," Lyra took TK's hand and dragged him up. She took a plate of blueberry pancakes quickly, like a ninja, and gave them to Tobias.

"Just a couple of weeks," Robyn said to her, "And you can thank the cooks for that, I just put them on the plate," she laughed. She continued to serve the other students, grateful that Roxy had made way for them. She tried not to bump into anyone, especially those in front of the stove. She saw Lyra leave from behind the tables to go talk to the boy Robyn had met on her first day. He had also been at the pool. She wondered if they were dating.
"Allo Artemis," Robyn said, mentally kicking herself for speaking french, though maybe no one would notice. "How are you?" She handed someone else's pancakes to her, not wanting to make her wait in the mile-long line.

Derek was still flipping until he noticed the stack of orders was thinning, but the line wasn't so much. He turned around, quickly dodging one of the servers, and saw Lyra talking with Tobias. Oh joy. With a sigh he yelled out, "Dammit Lyra! Stop creating more unresolved sexual tension with your best friend and get me more orders! We have hungry people down here!" Typical Lyra. Looking back down, he noted the girl still working and said, "Thanks for keeping up with it." He didn't want her to feel unappreciated now, did he?
