"Of course it's okay," Shawn said smiling and nodding his head, not minding at all that he had just put it away. He probably should have waited for an answer before putting it away anyways, so it was his own fault. He grabbed another cup and took the carton out again, pouring the juice into the cup and then putting it back in the refrigerator. Picking up the cups carefully, he skipped back over to Kath and sat them both down on the counter. "Here you gooo."
He looked down at the decorations as she asked how they should decorate them, shrugging lightly. "Um weell.. what are your favorite colors?" he asked, for that would be a good place to start. They could make the cupcakes colors she liked.

"Thank you" Kath smiled as she reached forward to grab the cup of orange juice that Shawn had just poured for her. It had been a while since Kath had drank orange juice but it was one of her favorite drinks so she was more than happy to drink it whenever she could.
"My favorite colors" Kath thought to herself "There are quite a few" Kath laughed "Purple, Black, Green, Pink and Grey" Black and Grey were quite boring colours but Kath liked them as they were simple. Even though they weren't colours Kath liked the 'shades' of grey and black. "What are your favorite colours" Kath was up to decorating the cakes any colours as she pretty much like all the colours that ever existed. It would also be nice to decorate some of them Shawn's favorite colours too.

"Hmm, well I guess we can make them lots of different colors then!" Shawn said grinning and nodding. He wasn't sure if black and gray icing would look very appetizing, buut as long as they tasted good he figured it didn't matter. "Ohh, I guess I like all the colors." He shrugged, tilting his head and thinking about it for a moment. He couldn't think of a color that he didn't really like. "Yea, pretty much all of them. I'm too indecisive to pick just one favorite." He grinned, shrugging his shoulders. They were going to have very colorful cakes.
"Hm, how else can we decorate them.." he mumbled to himself, looking at all of the decorating stuff. "Ooh, sprinkles! Sprinkles are pretty." He smiled and clapped his hands. Obviously these cupcakes were going to be the best cupcakes in the worldd.

"Lots of different colours sound good" rainbows were pretty so Kath was sure that multi coloured cakes would look just as good maybe even better considering that they were cakes. Kath nodded "I think thats why I like so many I can't decide" Kath liked all colours but the ones she told Shawn were certain her favorites. "Sprinkles are good too" these cakes were sure to be bright and colorful and that made them even more appealing to Kath.
After drinking a sip of her orange juice Kath got up and went to check on the cakes. Pulling the oven door Kath got a waft of hot air in her face "They look good" She turned her head to tell Shawn. A couple more minutes and the cakes would be golden brown and cooked.

"Sprinkles are yummy," he said, nodding his head. Shawn couldn't think of anything else to decorate them with, buut if they wanted to use anything else he supposed they could just decide as they made them. He watched as she went over to check on the cakes, grinning as he caught a smell of them when she opened up the oven. "Mm, they smell good too!" He clapped his hands, excited to decorate the cakes and then eat them. But mostly to eat them.
"Soo Miss Kath, how have you been? I've probably already asked that like fifty times." He scrunched up his nose. He must be getting oldd, his memory was going. Then again his memory had never been that spectacular. He shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his momentarily forgotten juice.

Sprinkles were yummy no matter what kind of sprinkles that you used. Kath hoped that they would be using the multi coloured sprinkles rather than the brown chocolate ones because they were bright and colourful but both tasted and looked fantastic. "They do smell nice" she agreed with Shawn. Kath was quite reluctant to close the oven door but if she didn't the cakes wouldn't cook very well.
Closing the door and taking her seat again Kath picked up her glass and drank some more orange juice "Ive been alright thanks" Kath was feeling fine but she wished that she would push herself to socialize with people a little more but that was always something that annoyed Kath about herself she never pushed herself to talk to people. "Fifty times is good" she told Shawn laughing. "How about yourself, how have you been?" she asked.

"That's goood. Is your birthday awesomely awesome yet?" he asked, grinning lightly. He wasn't sure what he could do to make her birthday fun, buut he wanted to do something. Or at least try. Of course cake was fun, but it was also kind of boring and not at all exciting. "Fifty times is redundant, I don't think that's very good." He laughed and shook his head.
"I've been pretty good. Can't really complain." He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, hopping up on the counter and picking up one of the icing containers. Because he couldn't wait two minutes for the cake to be all done, he opened it up and scooped some out with his finger. "You want somee?" he asked, offering her the container as he licked the icing off of his finger. Mmm, sugar.

"My birthday is awesomely awesome" Kath grinned as Shawn asked if her birthday was good. This was one of the better birthday's in Kath's recent years. As Kath had became older birthday's were slowly becoming less and less exciting and Kath found it rather scary and she hated the fact that the feeling had changed. Kath was planning to spend the birthday by herself but Shawn had saved her from this fate.
"I'm glad" she smiled when Shawn told her that he was ok. It was always good to here that your friend was doing alright, it always brought a smile to Kath's face. "No thank you" Kath answered as Shawn asked if she wanted some icing. Kath liked icing on cakes but she found it rather sickly by itself. Grabbing some oven gloves Kath walked over to the oven and took out the golden brown cakes "Looks good" she told Shawn, now all they had to do was wait for them to cool so they could decorate them.

"Yaay!" Shawn squeaked excitedly, holding his hand up for a high-five and feeling just a little bit silly. He loved it when everyone else had a good birthday, but generally his birthdays were more for moping around and whining about how old he was. That is, if he remembered that it was his birthday. And that hadn't happened in the past few years.. he really needed to buy himself a calendar. Maybe now that he was a professor and all he'd be able to keep track of dates better.
Shawn smiled and clapped his hands as Kath went and got the cakes out of the oven, sitting down the icing so he could look at the cakes instead. "I think we did a very good job." He nodded his head, although they couldn't decide that until they tasted one.. but they smelled yummy, so that was probably a good sign. He grabbed some butter knives so that when the cakes cooled they could use them to put the icing on, eager to start now so that they could finish and then eat them.

"Woo" Kath laughed as she high fived Shawn. Kath didn't really like spending her birthday at school she would have preferred spending it with her large family. Though Shawn had made her birthday enjoyable and she had totally forgot about spending the day with her family. Not seeing your family as much was one of the downsides of the job but Kath would often pop into London to see them.
"I think we did to" The cakes looked good and they smelled good all that was now to do was to decorate them and then eat them. Knowing Kath's luck the cakes would taste disgusting but she was thankful that Shawn had made them with her and that he probably saved them from tasting yucky. Kath tapped her fingers a little annoyed that cakes took so long to cool. She was tempted to put them in the fridge for a while but that would probably make them all soggy and sweaty from cooling too fast.

Shawn grinned and leaned against the counter, watching the cakes as if that would make them cool faster. If anything, it would probably make it feel like they were cooling slower. He sighed and began to fan them with his hand as another attempt to make them go faster. Waiting was always the worst part of cooking, especially when you lacked patience. And Shawn had very little patience when his stomach was empty and there were cakes sitting right there in front of him. This was torturee.
"Do you think they're done yet?" he asked, not wanting to poke them like he usually did with his food because Kath probably didn't want his hands all over their cake. Not that they were gross or anything. After that thought he felt the need to wash his hands, so he skipped over to the sink and washed them, using lots of soap. Too lazy to look for something to dry his hands off with, he dried them off on his jeans and wandered back over to Kath.

Kath watched as Shawn tried to cool the cakes down by fanning them. Kath was unsure if it would work but it was worth a try as both Shawn and Kath were hungry. "Not quite sure" Kath replied as she looked at the cakes. They were no longer steaming so maybe they were ready. Kath was determined to eat one before they put the icing and decorations on the cakes, and cakes were always nice when they were fresh from the hot oven.
Putting her hands around the cake case Kath picked one of the cakes up "Feels quite cool" She said putting it back in the cake tin thing. Kath was just about to suggest getting everything ready to decorate them but that had already been done. "I guess a couple more minutes and then were good to go" or Kath hoped that they would be cooled by then as she hated the waiting around of cooking.

Shawn watched as Kath picked up one of the cakes to see of they were cool enough yet. He smiled as she said that it felt cool, but theeen killed it when she told him that they'd have to wait a few mite minutes. Did the torture never end? Oh well, if they were going to do it right he supposed that they would have to wait. It would only make them taste better in the end. This thought was not very soothing, however, because he felt like he'd been waiting for ever.
He sighed lightly and sat back down on the counter, away from the cakes so he wouldn't accidentally knock them down. That was definitely something he would do. While he waited, he hummed to himself and drank the rest of the orange juice that he had forgotten about in the excitement of getting the cakes.

As well as Shawn, Kath was finding the stress of waiting for cakes annoying. Maybe she should ditch muggle animals and invent a machine that automatically cooled cakes. Well she wasn't going to ditch muggle animals and wouldn't she be stealing ideas from the guy that invented the fridge?. This was unknown to Kath but she didn't want to get sued by him even though he was probably dead.
Also forgetting that she had orange juice Kath picked up her glass and drank the last quarter that had been sat in her glass waiting to be drank. Resting her glass down on the table Kath picked up the same cake again to feel it. Putting it back down she grinned at Shawn "I think their ready" they were still a tiny bit warm but Kath thought that it wouldn't matter if anything it would make the icing a little runny but that wouldn't be the end of the world.
Picking up the cake that Kath had previously picked up prodded she pulled the cake case off and began to eat the cake. Once she had finished her mouthful she gave Shawn a thumbs up "Tastes good" Kath felt like a pig but Shawn was entitled to eat a cake if he wished.

Shawn gasped when she told him that they were done, finally. He thought that this moment would never come. Okay, that over dramatizing it just a little, but they had waited for a while. He giggled as he watched her eat the little cake, clapping his hands as she gave him a thumbs up and told him that it was good. After the reassurance, he took out one of the cakes and peeled the case off, trying not to look like a pig by shoving the whole thing in his mouth. But he ended up basically inhaling the thing anyway.
"Okay, now that we have um.. tested them out. It's time to decorate them?" he said, pulling all of the icing and other decorative things closer to them. "I suppose icing comes first?" He grinned, opening up one of the containers and looking at her. "Oh, color. What colors did we want again?"
