Either is fine with me. Which would you prefer? [Except for every now and then HQ likes to play pranks and move things.]

*This is very very true.* Well if you're up to making them now...we could do them now. *His stomach is ready 24/7!*

Let's go right now then. [Hopefully he doesn't mind him trying to drag him off.]

*He doesn't mind. He's getting used to letting you take the lead.* Alright!

[Taking the lead is something he likes to think he's getting better at. Now if only he could convince himself to do it regularly, too, instead of sitting back and waiting.] Should we make milkshakes, too?

*Well he doesn't have to rush himself. Al likes to take the lead too.*

Oh my gosh, YES! I'll make the milkshakes! You make the poutine and burgers? Well I can help with the burgers too.

[He definitely enjoys it when Al takes the lead, too. He's more than happy to share it with him.] Deal. You take the shakes, I'll take the poutine, and we'll share the burgers.

Alright! What kind of toppings do you like on your burgers?

I'm fine with the usual - lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles. Anything like that.

And cheese? Gotta have cheese!

Cheese is always a good choice as is bacon, but I don't know how well it'd go with maple.

True...maybe no cheese then.

We can have it out in case we decide to try it.

Good plan! I am glad you thought of it!

I'm definitely on top of these things.

You sure are...so let's cook!

Fitting, isn't it? [With a wink, he started digging around for what they'd need.] Let's get everything out first so we'll have it on hand.

Alright! *He's pulling out things they'll need as well, and maybe a few unnecessary items. Just in case. Better to be prepared!*

[He knew he could always count on Al to be so prepared.] We'll definitely do the milkshakes last.

*He is the hero! He's always prepared!* Last? Okay...so what do you want me to work on first?

[So true. He's such a good hero.] It makes sense to me, anyway. Let's go with the burgers first.

*He is the best!* Alright! Want me to grill the meat..or well fry pan it?

[And he's Canada's favourite hero~] I'm fine with either, so it's your choice. [Don't mind him as he starts tossing in a few spices into the bowl with the meat.]

Mmmmmmmmm grill it! Because it's summer! Where's that George Foreman? I know I stashed one in a kitchen somewhere...

*He's back to looking through the cabinets for a cumbersome indoor grill.*

[...you mean that wasn't a fancy toaster? ...kidding, kidding. He hasn't done anything like that.] Try near the stove.
