Haha.  I'm sorry I'm so late, guys, I was super busy this week.  :(  Also, I know I said I would do Nutella next but I totally forgot and already started writing this react and am way too lazy to change it.

"But, in the shadow of that shame

Beat down by all the blame

I hear you call my name sayin' it's not over

And my heart starts to beat

So loud now, drowning out the doubt

I'm down but I'm not out"

Biana:  Eewewewewewewewewewew!  *drops jar*

Keefe:  *gags*  Who invented the smell?

Fitz:  Wouldn't this make human sandwich bread all mushy?

Dex:  *rolls eyes*  Calm down, Wonderboy.  I'm sure humans don't actually eat this stuff.  It's probably used in place of cement when they build their ugly brick buildings.

Sophie:  *tentatively hands everyone a peanut butter sandwich*  Sorry, Dex.  Peanut Butter is a food.

Biana:  Sophie Elizabeth Foster, I am not putting something that looks like Bugbear poop on squishy human bread and then eating it.

Keefe:  *pushes Sophie's offering away*  I'm all for trying new food, but I'm siding with Biana for this one.  

Sophie:  *tries not to look offended and hands a sandwich to Fitz instead*  Here, Fitz,  try it, you'll find that it's not all that bad.

Fitz:  *uncomfortably takes it*  Oh, um, okay.  *takes a tentative bite*  *cringes but puts on a smile*  *holds a thumbs-up*  Mmm.  Yum.  Delicious.

Sophie:  *unamused*  Cut the act, Vacker.

Fitz:  *deflates*  This is disgusting.  

Keefe:  I guess all human foods aren't good.

Sophie:  *snappishly*  I never said they were!

Keefe:  *shrugs*

Dex:  *squinting at his sandwich*  I bet with a little Technopath engineering, this could become the next best superglue.  Imagine, entire buildings, held together with nothing more than peanut butter!  Worlds brought together through the sheer strength of a horrid smelling, protein filled, spread!

Sophie:  Dex, I think you're getting a bit carried away.

Dex:  *shrugs*  At least it's better than eating it. 

Sophie:  *nods*  Okay, fine, that's true.

Fitz:  But for real, Sophie, do human kids actually eat this?

Sophie:  *nods*  Yep, peanut butter sandwiches are actually kind of a staple in kid's lunchboxes in America.

Keefe:  *boredly*  Wow, Americans are stupid.  

Sophie:  *glares at him*  *turns to Biana*  So, Biana, what do you think of the peanut butter?

Biana:  *thinks for a moment*  Well, the smell is a totally turn-off—

Fitz:  —Hey that's what girls always say when they first meet Keefe!  *snickers*

Keefe:  Haha, bro, hilarious.

Biana:  *rolls eyes*  Anyways, as I was saying, besides the smell, this stuff isn't all that bad, especially since— *puts down the sandwich and grabs the jar she dropped on the ground earlier*  *sticks a finger in it*  I do like the texture.  It's super smooth and creamy.  I'd kill if lipstick felt like this.

Sophie:  *nods*  Yeah, Mr. Forkle brought us the smooth version.  You can always buy the crunchy version if that's more your thing.

Dex:  Hm, I'm more into the smooth version, mind you, mainly because I'm pretty sure the crunchy version would lead to compromises in the strength of the compound when it is spread between bricks.

Sophie:  *annoyedly*  Dex, we are not using peanut butter as a building material.

Fitz:  Yeah, can you imagine the smell?  Nobody would ever go into buildings if they smelled like peanut butter?

Sophie:  *rolls eyes again*  Guys, from now on, you guys have to be nice.  Peanut butter has feelings too, you know.  *points to Biana*  You can start, Biana.  Say something kind to peanut butter.

Biana:  *awkwardly*  Um ... you're very ... smooth?

*Sophie points to Fitz*

Fitz:  Um ... your scent is very ... captivating?

*Sophie points to Dex*

Dex:  *without missing a beat*  Your building possibilities are endless.

 *Sophie halfheartedly points to Keefe*

Keefe:  Whatever.  *rolls eyes*  You are brown.

Fitz:  *whistles*  Wow, Keefe, that is some compliment. 

Keefe:  *grins*  I know, right?

Dex:  *turns to Biana*  Something very weird is going on.

Biana:  *nods*  I know, right?  Something is definitely up.

Sophie:  *notices this side-conversation and flushes*  *in a rush*  Well, looks like that's all the time we have for today!  Bye guys!
