"Rose?" Lissa's voice was hesitant.

"Yeah?" I muttered, scowling and smacking at the lump of dough in front of me. Dammit! Why couldn't this stupid bread just cooperate for once?

"I think…that last loaf might be on fire," Lissa said, pulling my arm and turning me around.

"What? No. It can't be," I all but pushed her out of the way and wrenched open the oven door.

Sure enough, I was met with a wave of heat and a minor fire in my oven.

"Shit, shit, shit!" I bounced from foot to foot, grabbing an oven mitt and pulling the tray out into the open.

"What do I do?" I turned to Lissa, panic totally evident in my voice.

She looked at me, eyes wide, "I don't know! Haven't you set things on fire before?"

"No!" I said, offended, "You live with Fire Boy, hasn't he set stuff on fire before?"

"No," Lissa frowned, "Well, if he has, he's always put it out before I could see."

I turned back to the flaming, charred bread, "Oh crap, if I burn the house down Dimitri'll kill me."

"Water?" Lissa suggested, "I can…" She gestured with her hands, always up for practicing her four weaker magic skills.

"Go for it," I shrugged, I didn't have any better ideas.

Lissa hat the tray with a weak stream of water, but it only made the fire worse.

I screamed, "Lissa!"

"I'm sorry!" she wailed, "I didn't think…."

He voice was cut off by the shrill sound of the smoke detector.

We stared at each other, completely in panic.

"Lissa? Rose?" Christian came running into the kitchen, Dimitri hot on his heels.

"What the hell happened?" Christian asked, as Dimitri took the fire extinguisher from the corner and put the bread out.

Fire extinguisher? Where had that come from?

"Oh, Rose was making bread…but…." Lissa shrugged, "It didn't exactly…work."

Both Christian and Dimitri looked at me.

"Hey!" I defended myself, "It happened very suddenly, and I haven't' set anything else on fire in a long time!"

"I don't understand why you didn't put it out," Dimitri shook his head.

"We tried!" I protested, "Lissa used some water."

"You can't put fire like that out with water," Christian explained, "Why didn't you use the fire extinguisher?"

"I didn't know we had one," I muttered, scowling at the floor.

"Because I just bought it the other day," Dimitri cut in, "I figured we might have use for it when you decided to start baking bread."

"Comrade of little faith," I punched my boyfriend's shoulder.

"Well deserved little faith," Dimitri smirked back at me.
