Eve started to make the cinnamon rolls knowing how much everyone liked them. She was happy that they did.

Salem grinned as he watched his girlfriend enjoying cooking for everyone for a few seconds before making his presence known to her. "Do you want any help?" he asked.

" Sure! Would you like to cut them and put them in the pans?" Eve offered. She was happy this kitchen had everything she would need.

"of course," he said with a grin of his own before he chuckled lightly. "You know, it's been a while since the two of us had actually been alone for more than a few seconds."

" It has." Eve said with a smile. She liked this time that she and Salem were having alone.

"We should try doing this more often," he replied. And even though it was just him and her doing a mundane task like making breakfast for everyone, it was still nice to just have some alone time with her.

" Maybe we can do this later this afternoon. I know Kirito wants to teach Sakura again and Deanna said it would be fine if he went to the gym without me." Eve said.

"Sounds like an idea. It sounds as if Kirito has taken a shine to young Sakura," he noted.

Eve giggled. " I think so too. I'm glad he's willing to help her become a better fighter. " Eve said as she heard the oven beep. " We're ready to put them in. " She said.

"It is nice to see him teaching her," though I have the feeling it's also because she looks like Asuna he said, keeping the last part of the sentence to himself. He then put the pan of cinnamon buns into the oven as per Eve's directions.

Eve set the timer and started to get the orange juice out and the things she would need for the icing. The icing was the best part to make.

Salem watched as she prepared the icing for the cinnamon buns before asking if there was anything else that he could do to help.

" Not at this time. Thank you for your help Salem. " Eve said with a smile on her face.

"No problem," Salem responded as he stepped back, letting her work her magic in the kitchen.

Carly got dressed and was looking forward to seeing how Deanna did her job at the gym. She also was glad that Max would be training with Thalia. It had been another night without nightmares and had slept good, but still wondered why they had suddenly stopped.

(huh, thought I put a post in earlier. Meh)

Max stretched lightly, glad that Thalia was willing to help her train today. She was actually quite curious as to how the day would go.

( that can happen sometimes. )

" Morning sleepy head. Hope you slept well. " Carly said to Max. She would wait a little bit longer to head on to Eve's apartment.

"Morning Carly," she replied, yawning lightly.

" Eve's making cinnamon rolls this morning and I'm not sure when she'll be ready." Carly said. She knew they still had time, but didn't want to be late to meet Deanna at her job.

"Can't you call her and check?" Max asked curiously. Eve's cinnamon buns were one of the few things she enjoyed. She also knew how important it was to eat something before training.

" I can do that. Sorry I'm acting so nervous. I didn't have nightmares again last night. I had them for so long they became normal to me. " Carly said.

Max nodded. "I remember," she said before chuckling lightly. "I also remember running into your room the first few times wondering what the hell was going on."

" I remember that too. I still feel bad about all that. " Carly said. "I'm just glad our nightmare is over. " She added.

"Don't be. I was getting use to you, and we were still running from the School at the time," Max replied as she thought nothing of it.

Carly smiled. " I'll call Eve and see if she is ready for us. " Carly said and went to make the call.
