Chapter 216 - Truffles

"RUBY, CAN YOU COME DOWNSTAIRS AND HELP ME MAKE LUNCH.....PLEASE? YOU CAN MAKE THE TRUFFLES!!!"

"Why don't you have the Kids...….I'M COMING. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING."

"You don't trust me?"

"What did you touch?"

"Nothing. I was waiting for...yeah, I was experimenting with Lasagna; but their are so many steps."

"Why don't you take your lovely cupcakes out and distribute them to the Kids?"

"About that."

"Where are they?"

"....I gave them to Pika and Kodkod."

"Why?"

"You told me you didn't like them."

"Did not. I said you wouldn't win, but I didn't say I hated them. I actually loved them."

"You......you did?"

"Don't worry about what others think. Just keep trying youe best and you'll get there."

"........I'll go see who wants to help you. I have to be there when your Ma wakes up."

"Thanks. See ya."

"Speaking of Ma, why haven't you told us of your parents yet?"

"My…..oh, I almost forgot I had parents for a sec, based on who I am and all. Been looking blankly at my photo album recently, trying to decide who they are. Guess Braemos was successfull in burning them from history."

"Ruby, you must never forget where you came from. Never."

"Well, I mean look at this house. Look at the smiling town.

They had to be nice people, right?"

"No. They were amazing people."

"How do you know? You've never met them."

"I don't need to. I've met you, and from what I've seen, I see them. They would be so proud of you."

"You think so?"

"Not a doubt in my mind.

Call me down when food's ready. My tummy is already starting to grumble."
