June and Mally sit on their couch. June holds a paper and pen and looks thoughtful while saying, "Let's see... pot lucks are fune, but we tend to have the same things a lot. How can we add some variety?" Mally smiles at her and says, "I knew you'd take well to this job." June suddenly perks up and says, "Ooh, I know! What if each meal had a theme?" Mally responds, "Like, foods from different countries or something?" June points excitedly and says, "Exactly! Maybe we could ask some of the international students to share some of their favorites." Mally smiles and says, "Yeah, that would be cool!" Then June glances sideways at Mally with a sly smile and says, "I'm sure we could convince someone to make your favorite... Sushi!" Mally grimmaces and sticks out her tongue, saying, "What? Eww! Don't even say that!" Then June taps her chin and says, "Or was it squid? you like calimari, right?" Mally, clutching her stomach but still smiling, says, "Ugh, stop!" Then June says, "No, I've got it. Lutefisk!" at which point Mally throws a pillow at her and says, "Oh, shut your beak, fish breath!"

That's not what Mally normally imagines when she thinks of "Swedish Fish".
