"It's not a problem. We should do it again sometime. I hope you have a good weekend, and I'll see you on Monday!"

"Thanks, you too!"

And the pizza is done and it is time for them to part ways.

Allison probably has a good weekend.

She's with her family, after all. 

Yes. Weekends with one's family are so delightful.

Solvei's weekend with her family is tragically interrupted by Scott coming over on Sunday to make cupcakes. Wait, no, cupcakes are the opposite of tragic.

Cupcakes are not tragic! 

Scott is happy to interrupt.

Stiles is not unhappy to interrupt. 

Cupcakes ensue. There are a lot of them, in multiple flavours. Solvei makes a kind of frosting that dries hard enough so that the cupcakes can be stacked in their containers. There will be enough for everyone, although getting them all to school will require some logistical finesse. Is Stiles okay with helping?

Stiles, in a surprising turn of events, finds nothing to complain about. 

Watching Scott and Solvei work while he fetches them things seems to cheer him up.

Excellent!

They produce an enormous quantity of delicious cupcakes, and conscientiously try a few to verify their deliciousness. (Very. Very delicious.)

Solvei divides the haul between the three of them so they will each have a manageable burden to bring to school the next day.

Scott is enthusiastic about baking, and fairly good at it. 

He's not so good with applying the frosting, which Solvei can handle quite capably. 

"I should have tried this before. Cooking is fun, especially when you can feed other people."

"I know, right? It's so great!"

Stiles concurs. Probably. 

He's in the middle of cajoling another (seconds, third?) cupcake from Scott. 

Scott supplicates his partner in crime.

This is acceptable. The quantity of cupcakes is calculated so that if Stiles tries to eat them all so no one else can have any, he will fail.

"Does your aunt want any, Solvei?"

"I'll ask. One sec."

She departs the kitchen. Quiet conversation in Thulic is audible for about ten seconds. She comes back.

"She says no thanks."

"Okay. Can we try sopapillas next? My mom always says how much she misses them, and I think making some fresh ones sometimes would go over well."

"Sure!"

So they all agree to meet next week, whenever Solvei isn't keeping busy with other extracurriculars. 

The rest of the weekend is hers.

That it is.

And on Monday: Cupcakes for everyone?

Almost everyone. Though Hacker Friend and Combat Friend and assorted others are there, Nascent Chemistry Archrival is not.

"Thanks, Solvei."

"Yeah, uh, are we getting treats like this every day?" 

"Not necessarily. I'm thinking I'll do a Treats Day about once a week. Although I could be convinced to increase the frequency."

"Makes sense. Are you going to offer some to Matt?" 

"I am offering some to literally everyone I see."

"Are you? I mean, are you hoping to give Matt a cupcake more than the rest of us?"
