Nora grabs the plate of cookies as she walks through the cafeteria and started munching away. Just as she was about to exit, a poster caught her eye.
“That’s tomorrow!” She screamed in both glee and horror before racing down the hallway to her dorm. “REN!”
She burst into the room and proceed to tackle the boy. Ren looked at Nora with mild amusement while Pyrrha and Jaune were recovering from her sudden entrance. “Yes, Nora?”
“Ren, tomorrow is national pancake day!” Nora exclaimed. “We almost missed it.” Jaune and Pyrrha looked completely bewildered as Ren turned back to his homework.
“Is that all?” Ren replied, not letting Nora see his smirk.
“Ren, this is the most important day of the year.” She whined as she shoveled cookies into her mouth.
“I know you like pancakes, but the most important day of the year.” Pyrrha asked, clearly confused. Nora completely ignore her as she continued whining.
“Nora, I didn’t forget.” He said with a grin.
She stared at him for a moment. “Meanie.” She pouted, still chowing down on the cookies.
He gave her a flat stare before booping her nose. She broke out in a smile. “You’re the best.”
“I am assuming you are going to try and break your record.” He asked already knowing the answer.
“What record?” Jaune asked now sitting next to Pyrrha.
“My pancake eating record!” She replied with a fire in her eyes.
“Your pancake eating record, Nora that seems incredibly unhealthy.” Pyrrha said awkwardly.
“No, it isn’t silly.”
“That is a lot of calories, Nora.”
“So,” She said without a care in the world, popping another cookie in her mouth.
“Aren’t you worried about getting fat?”
“Nope,”
The two looked at each other confused. “Nora, the human metabolism can only handle so much.”
“The amount of butt kicking, smashing and running around we do, none of it will stick and if it does it will burn right off.” She hummed. “Plus, I look good with a food baby.”
The two shared a look before looking back at the pancake loving ginger as she patted her belly.
“Whatever you say Nora.”
She just smiled before grabbing Ren’s sleeve, “To the store!’ As she starts dragging him out the door.
“Nora.”
“Yes, Ren.”
“We are already well stocked for tomorrow.”
“Oh,” She hums as she chomps another cookie as they come to a stop halfway down the hall. “Ren?” She said quietly.
“Yes, Nora?”
“Do you think I can beat my record this year?”
“It will take some doing but we can do it. I have fate in you and your stomach.” He says poking her in the middle. She giggles a little.
“It is settled then, I will not fail like the last three years! I will be victorious! And Ren, I want you to show no mercy, give me no quarter, do what it takes even if you have to force me!” She roars her might declaration of war on breakfast.
He rolls his eyes and gives her a mock salute. “Understood.” He says as the two returns to the room. He plucks the mostly eaten plate of cookies from her grasps.
“Hey.”
“No more food for the rest of the day.”
She looks hurt for a moment but she dons a determined smile. “No mercy already?”
He just smiles. “We need as empty and hungry as possible so go get your workout clothes on.” She nods before jetting out to her clothes.
“You two might want to make a day trip into town tomorrow.” He says looking at his other two teammates.
“You two are weird.” ”You shouldn’t indulge her like that.”
“It makes her happy.” He said with a shrug as he hands the cookies to Jaune before turning to his closet. “Plus, she is right about looking good with a food baby.”
The two go wide eyed at the statement before turning to each other as Pyrrha grabs a cookie from the plate.
