Fall is in the air (Open)
Autumn had come to Westchester county in New York. The leaves were changing colors and the air had gotten considerably cooler. Cait loved autumn because it meant pumpkins and baking. Cait had been up before the sun and had started on her yearly batch of pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pies and pumpkin spice cookies. In addition to the pumpkin items, Cait also whipped up batches of apple spice muffins and apple crisp.

The kitchen was warm and filled with the smell of the baked goods. Cait had made enough for the residents of Xavier's and put together a care package for Corey and the Champions. Irina was going to stop by later to pick it up for them.

Cait worked on cleaning up the kitchen.

	Cait grinned. "It's autumn, here anyways, and that means baking and pumpkin. I made pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pies, pumpkin spice cookies, some apple spice muffins and some apple crisp. What will it be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can never go wrong with pumpkin muffins," Sylvie asserts. "Thanks muchly. So how's it going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait shrugged. "It goes. Classes are harder this semester. We can't all be geniuses." She gave Sylvie a smile. "But on the lighter side of things, I've started planning for the New Year's snow ball fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It never hurts to think ahead, and we can hardly get complacent." Sylvie grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait grinned. "Exactly. We've won for the past straight six years. We're going to make it seven years." "So what have you been up to? How are things going with Fred?" Cait couldn't imagine getting a brother out of the blue. Not that she wanted another one. Two was more than enough. Rufus should count as a few. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fred's.... Well, he's a McCoy all right, but... he's got a bit of a knack for grinding my gears, Cait, I've got to admit it. No sense of anything between the extremes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-14 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"That's what brothers or relatives do," she said. "It's in the handbook. If they didn't grind your gears they wouldn't be relatives. Is he going to stay or is this just an extended visit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-14 01:06 am UTC (link)
	"If he doesn't stay, he'll be goign back to them." Sylvie scowls. "Not happening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't blame you there," Cait said. "One could put up with Hades himself to keep someone going back to people like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mhmm -- mmmmm." Sylvie looks suddenly blissful, mouth full of muffin. Between bites. "This is delicious, Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-14 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I was worried I put too much spice in them." Cait grabbed one of the apple spice muffins. "We need a shopping trip into the city and soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, but... let's be clear. If any of that stuff is pink, you know who's buyingit, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-15 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Like I would stand between you and pink," Cait said with a chuckle. "I know better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-17 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. You're very smart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-17 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Not as nearly as smart as you. I got the prankster genes, not the brains." Cait broke off a piece of muffin. "Speaking of, how are things with Fred?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My current goal is to get him to talk to Dad like a person. It...might take a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-17 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"That's understandable," Cait said. "How are the two of you getting along?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-17 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Sylvie sighs. "Not so good, but we keep trying. And he is trying. I can tell. Ridiculously self-righteous and irrational, but trying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-10-17 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"Trying is better than giving up," Cait said. "It'll take time. Many years from now we'll be telling our kids the story of how you and Uncle Fred met." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughs. "How will I ever get any of those?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
