National I Want Butterscotch Day
February 15
“Hey Kara, can I borrow a pen?” Winn asks. He chucks his dead pen into the trash.
“Oh sure.” Kara opens up her drawer and digs around the organized mess, coming up with a plain ball point pen. “Here you go.”
Winn stares at the open drawer, his eyes widening. “Kara…”
“What?” Kara waves the pen in his face.
“What is…what is all that?”
“Oh you want one?” Kara grabs one piece of butterscotch candy, the crinkling plastic sounds irritates Winn’s ear.
“Thanks.” Winn reflexively reaches for both the pen and butterscotch. He pops the candy into his mouth. “So…why...you know what never mind. Thanks for the pen.”
Winn rubs the back of his neck, watching as Kara pops a butterscotch into her mouth every time she finishes one. She’s eaten 5 in one hour. Winn shivers. It’s a good thing Kryptonians can’t get cavities… he huffs. Lucky alien DNA.

“More more!” Kara practically floats in the air as she jumps up and down.
“Kara…” Alex says in exasperation. “This is more butterscotch than ice cream.”
“More!”
Alex pours more, grimacing as the ice cream swims in the butterscotch. “No more.”
Kara pouts but one taste of the spoonful of goodness leaves her literally floating this time. Shaking her head, Alex pours just a few lines of butterscotch on her ice cream. She makes not to buy more bottles the next time she’s at the store, at the rate of butterscotch soup Kara’s ingesting, she’ll need an entire box of it.
