'How long have I been sitting out here?' he thought as he sat out in the cafeteria looking at the sky and feeling blue and then he smelled something, 'Is that hot dogs?' He stood up and looked into the kitchen and could see Aqua and Frostbite and some guy in a cowboy hat. He walked to the kitchen.
Oh how he wanted to go in, but he didn't want to make a mess of things again. Frostbite was there but she was the only one who might care enough to give him the chance to say hi and be friendly. Aqua was probably still upset about earlier, when it wasn't his fault and it was really all D'mnchyld and Jumper being weird. Kevin himself was only going to just leave and then maybe go read in the library- 'oh no the LIBRARY...I was supposed to meet Guardien for a surprise for Aqua!' he thought.
He couldn't get to the library from here unless he went outside and all the way around the mansion to the front and then came back in. 'I could just walk through and say "Hi" and then just keep going' he tried to decide on if that was a good idea and then he just thought 'whatever' and walked into the kitchen.

Sean smiled and took the pitcher of water from Heather. "Here we go Heather, it ain';t the lady's job to be pourin' the drinks. Why, my mom would have my hide if she thought I would let a woman pour me a drink like she was some kinda waitress. My mom is what many folks call a 'strong willed feminist," he said with a laugh as he poured the two girls a drink. Sean sat down next to Heather and took the plate that Lorelai so generously filled.
"Why thank you kindly Lorelai. That's awfully sweet of you, and thanks for makin' the food it smells dee-lisicous!" Sean said emphasizing how good it smelled. The room was filled with the wonderful smell of homecooked food. He looked up just as another small boy walked into the large kitchen looking rather uneasy and timid. Sean just gave him his usual friendly smile. "Howdy. Ye hear to join us for some of this delicious food? We got plenty for everyone," Sean said happily as he adjusted his hat. Wow hes meeting a lot of people quickly.

Heather couldn't help but giggle as Sean acted so graciously kind to her. It was nice to meet a real gentleman once in a while. She eyed the water as he poured it and wanted to tease him a bit. Maybe cause the water to accidentally "spill" all over him. But that sounded a bit harsh and she passed the opportunity. "Thank you Sean," she said instead.
As Sean sat down next to her, she looked for the hot dogs. Kevin walked in, and Heather rolled her eyes. What does he want? Heather didn't hate or dislike Kevin. He just had this odd behavior. The whole thing in the Rec Room was just.....odd. He apologized for no reason and he basically assumed that she and Jumper were TOGETHER. Not only would that never happen, but have both him and K'8 think that, made her want to slap them. She shook the thoughts from her head and winced to the Acolytes member. "Hi Hardlight," she said softly. Enough drama had happened that day; more was not needed.
Heather returned to her quest for satisfying her stomach and looked to the table. The meaty aroma filled her nostrils and made her stomach churn even more. "So let's eat Lorelai," she said with a smile. She looked to Sean and decided to make him feel more welcome. "So where are you from Sean?"

Lorelai returned Heather's smile, "You're welcome," she answered, and then spoke again, "Oh, they were quite good, what did you put in them? They tasted a bit different than regular pancakes," she asked as she remembered their lovely taste. She was glad that they were on good terms; it was a lot better than always feeling the slightest bit bitter when around her.
She was about to go and sit down when she saw Hardlight come in. She put on a little smiled and looked to him. "Hey Kevin, how are you? Want some mac and cheese?" she asked, not really waiting for an answer as she reached up to a cabinet and got another plate. As she piled some mac and cheese on it, she turned as Sean spoke. "Oh, thank you," she laughed a little. "I do try," she joked lightly, but noticed that Heather rolled her eyes at Hardlight's entrance and was curious as to why she did that.
She held out the plate to Kevin and smiled. Her plate still sat on the counter, but she'd get it when her friend took his as she heard Heather start talking to Sean. She changed her mind and then moved to pick up her plate, but her earbud cord got in the way so she flipped it away as she waited for Kevin to take his plate.

"Thanks Frostbite!" Kevin said and he smiled. He knew she was cool and a friend to him, even though he saw how Aqua rolled her eyes he didn't let it bother him he was just gonna have to deal with being less than the favorite here at this school too and so he nodded as if to say 'I deservd that I guess' and he smiled at Heather. He was going to do that thing for her tomorrow, even though he still had no idea what it was going to be and so he wanted to be nice to her.
He walked over and took a seat at the table resting his chin on his hand as he leand on his elbow and looked at the new boy. He blinked his eyes and said "Hello, uh I mean 'HOWDY'! My name's Kevin, where you from?" and he smiled.

Keeping the friendly smile that rarely left Sean's face, he took the forks he got earlier with the plates and passed it out to the other three before he took his own and dug into the mac and cheese. It sure was tasty, much better than the instant stuff from the boxes. "My, my Lorelai, you are some chef here. some of the best mac n' cheese I've had in a long, long time," he said with a big smile up at Lorelai.
He continued eating the food with a smile on his face at the yummy food. " It's right good to meet ye Kevin, my name is Sean and I was born and bred right in the Great state of Texas. Ms. Frost here found me and had my mom and dad send me right over," Sean said with a smile.
"What about ya'll? Where ya'll from?" he asked as he dug into his food.

Lorelai returned the smile as Kevin went off to sit with Heather and Sean, forgetting his plate. She shook her head with a bit of a smile as she saw him focus on Sean moreso. She walked up to the table and placed his plate in front of him with a little laugh and then walked to an empty seat near Heather. She put her plate down before she sat, and as she took her chair she took out her iPod and changed the song to one she wanted instead of one at random, picking a song by Atreyu.
Watching quietly as everyone mingled, listening with one ear she just started to eat, enjoying bites of macaroni and cheese and fried hot dogs until Sean complimented her food and asked all of them a question. "Thanks! And I'm a born and bred Bostonian," she said with a little laugh and a bright smile.

Heather laughed at Lorelai and shook her head. "Just teasing. But thank you." She then looked to Sean and nodded with a smile as her guess was confirmed. She thought he was from Texas, however that was because the stereotype was that cowboys came from there. She wasn't one to admit how she guess correctly.
"Thats cool," she said while cutting a piece of her fried hot dog. She couldn't wait to taste them. "I'm from New York City," she said as she took the bite of meat. Her eyes widened and she closed her eyes at the amazing taste. "Oh my God this is incredible," she said incredulously. "Great work you two." She took another bite immediately and savored the slightly burnt taste that complimented the cooked meat perfectly. After she swallowed the food she took a sip of water and finished her earlier sentence. "And lucky for me it is only a couple of miles from here. When did you fly in, today?" she asked as she looked back to Sean. He seemed interesting and wanted to get to know him. Possibly they were able to be friends.

Ian entered the kitchen with a big grin on his face, as he smelled the unmistakable scent of cheese and hot dogs. Man was he hungry. After a long, well-deserved shower, Ian felt much... well cleaner for that matter. The practice was pretty tiring and he kind of wished he had the shower earlier, but who wouldn't trade in a shower for spending time with their gorgeous girlfriend? Ian sure as hell would and he did not regret it for a second. He took less time dressing than his shower and threw on a pair of jeans, a white muscle shirt, and a zip up sweatshirt that he got especially for the cold weather in New York.
He saw Heather, Hardlight and some new dude that looked like a cowboy all sitting around and enjoying the food. "Hey there Hardlight, Blondie, and new dude who I don't know," Ian said in greeting. He put his arm around Lorelai's waist and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her cool forehead. "What's up babe? Look I'm all clean now," He said with a big grin on his face as he stole her fork and took a mouthful of the mac and cheese.

"OH, uh, thanks again" Kevin grinned as he looked over at Frostbite with a sheepish grin. "Hi Diesel!" He said as he watched him steal a bite of mac-n-cheese.
Turning his attention back to the hot cowboy he licked his lips and said "Is it good?" He grabbed his fork and dug it in to the food and before he placed it in his mouth he said "I'm from Nebraska, it's like the middle of nowhere." He chuckled and slid the forkfull of mac-n-cheese in his mouth.

Lorelai smiled happily as the food was complimented again. "We did good, huh, Sean?" she asked, laughing as Heather took another bite of her hot dog. She retained the smile as she resumed eating again and then looked up as she heard Ian come in and greet Heather, Sean, and Kevin, nodding to the latter as he thanked her for the food again. Her smile brightened instantly and only grew bigger as he came to her, wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her forehead. "Hey! And I see...and smell," she said, laughing as she pretended to sniff the air around him, and then made a face as he stole her fork and then a mouthful of food.
"Hey, my food you big ape!" she laughed, reaching for her fork back. "I made more, it's all in the pot on the stove, get your own!" she playfully whined though she was smiling, settling for making her body colder so she'd get her fork back, and maybe her food before he wolfed it down in his normal ravenous hunger.

"That's right I flew in only a couple of hours ago to JFK. The drive here was sure long," Sean said with a smile as he picked up his meat and cheese sandwich and took a bite of it. "Boston, I heard lots of stories about Boston from my best friend's brother whos a cop in South Boston. He says theres a lot of drugs and illegal underground racing and stuff going on. Also its a big mob area too. I hope you don't live in that area," Sean said seriouslyas he recalled the stories that him and his best friend Luke would hear from his older brother whenever he came home for a visit. That was some scary stuff.
"Thank ye Heather and New York City wow, I always wanted to see. Though I hear they ain't too welcomin' to us country folk," he said with a laugh. Just then some really big dude who sounded like the typical surfer walked in and greeted them before heading straight for Lorelai. From the looks of it the two were an item. A funny one too. "Howdy there, I'm Sean," he said with a grin before he turned back to Kevin. "I never been to Nebraska or heard of anyone who goes there. All I know is that its mighty cold in there. You must be right at home here," he said with a smile as he finished his food.

Heather smiled as Ian walked into the room. Wow, this is awkward, she thought. She hadn't really spoken to Ian since the day before. And now that she and Lorelai were on good terms, it seemed like she and Ian were the ones...sort of not. She didn't know why, but it felt strange to be OK with Lorelai and Ian. She liked him a lot and she expected her hatred toward their relationship to only grow. However seeing them together now didn't bother as much as it did the day before and she was happy about that. "Hey...ape," she said with a wink to Lorelai. He had a pet name for everyone, so why not team up with his girl and do the same?
She looked back to Sean and giggled. "No, we aren't that bad. On the contrary, most New York women look for gentleman. They are their fantasies since all the men from New York are pigs." She laughed at her joke and took some Mac and Cheese. She felt good. No more drama and she was gaining friends instead of enemies. This was good for Heather, she needed a new family.

"Yes, it does get cold. I think maybe this is more of a home here though, I've not really ever felt as comfortable. My place back in Nebraska was awful cause I had no friends and my parents didn't like me much either." Kevin shrugged, he was sharing some personal stuff but he wasn't saying it in a way for them to feel sorry for him. He really did like it here more and more. It really was a lots better then his home in the land of corn and nothingness. He smiled aat all of them, and ate some more making they "MMMMMmmmmm" sound as he shoved forkful after furkfol of food into his face.

Lorelai playfully glared at Ian, but turned her head when Sean spoke of Boston. She knew what he was talking about and could tell he was being serious. "Nah, I don't live in Southie. I live in a much quieter part of Boston, but I know about the whole thing, they have this big beef with the Townies, all of them pretty much Irish. Give us a bad name, they do, but I stay away from it. No need to get in it," she explained, and then listened as he spoke to Heather, and then greeted Ian.
As Heather did the same in greeting Ian, Lorelai heard her and turned to her with a smirk, and seeing her wink, she grinned. She liked this comraderie and friendship building between her and the water girl, and thought it amusing that she teamed up with her in calling Ian an ape. In the meantime as everyone else conversed, she turned to smile at Ian and then changed her tactic for getting her fork back by pulling his face to her so she could kiss him and grab it from him, and when she did, she broke away and stuffed her face, smirking smugly.
