Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

With a big part of Friendsgiving taken care of, Rey headed back to the warehouse for her usual training. Which she sort of rushed through a little, in order to wait while scrolling through her phone for recipes. She still thought maybe she'd find something worth contributing?

As long as it was nothing green bean casserole adjacent. Anakin had already given Stark an earful about that dish.

"Rey?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Hi," she said, looking up. "Why are there recipes for cranberry sauce when it comes in a can?"

This is what you all were dealing with.

[sith_happened]

Fortunately Anakin had years of Sookie's ranting on the subject to provide answers! "Because it's not that hard to make cranberry sauce. Just berries, sugar, water, and orange juice if you're feeling fancy."

[thatwaslucky]

"And I'm fairly sure the canned one doesn't have orange juice," she mused.

[sith_happened]

"You could probably add it," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey wrinkled her nose at that, because didn't you just dump it out of the can and slice it?

"We're doing Friendsgiving," she explained. "So I'm trying."

[sith_happened]

"You're going to bring cranberry sauce?"

[thatwaslucky]

"No idea. I feel like I should bring something," she said, like Raiden wouldn't run away with the menu.

[sith_happened]

"Maybe napkins?"

Anakin was always told to bring napkins! That was because no one had faith in his cooking.

[thatwaslucky]

"Sure, but that's not fun," she said.

[sith_happened]

"Napkins could be fun," Anakin said. "You can get the turkey ones."

[thatwaslucky]

"Napkins with turkeys on them, right?" Rey checked.

[sith_happened]

"I don't think they make napkins out of turkey," Anakin said, thinking about it.

[thatwaslucky]

"Which, good," she said. "Would you like to bring napkins, since you know the fun ones?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin lit up. "I'm invited?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Of course you are," she said. "We'd be happy to have you."

[sith_happened]

"We'll be back on Saturday," Anakin said. "I might not be hungry yet, but we'll be back."

[thatwaslucky]

"You can bring leftover pie," she teased.

[sith_happened]

"There will be so much pie," Anakin said. "And just...no vegetables."

Best time of year, really.

[thatwaslucky]

"I think we have those covered," she said. "At least the potatoes."

[sith_happened]

"I like potatoes," Anakin said, nodding.

[thatwaslucky]

"And probably other things. It seemed like Raiden had Ideas," she said.

[sith_happened]

"Oh, Raiden's cooking?" Anakin said. "It'll be delicious."

So now he had to save some room after all of the Thanksgivings!

[thatwaslucky]

"Honestly I should have known it would be his thing," she said. "He'll make sure it's great."

[sith_happened]

"Now I need to cut back at all the dinners Rory and I are going to," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"Is that good or bad?" Rey checked.

[sith_happened]

"We have a lot of Thanksgivings to go to on Thursday," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"So you're welcome?" More dinners sounded great to Rey, personally, but if he need to cut back...

[sith_happened]

"I will enjoy the people at this Thanksgiving more than going to Rory's stepfather's sister's house," Anakin admitted. "She's going through a gluten-free vegan phase. I think we're eating the plates."

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't really know what that is," Rey admitted, because how many people on the island worried about gluten? "But I get the impression -free anything is a bad idea for this holiday."

[sith_happened]

"It's pretty much a day of indulgence," Anakin agreed, "and it's hard to indulge without bread."

[thatwaslucky]

"I thought this was mostly Turkey and vegetable dudes," she said. "No one told me about bread."

[sith_happened]

"There's bread too, and potatoes, and pies--so many pies--and bread that they've stuffed into the turkey."

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm going to love this day so much," she realized.

[sith_happened]

"You really are," Anakin said, smiling.
