"Who are we competing against, again?"
"...No one."
"But you said…"
"Fine.
Us vs the Music box. Whoever wins.....wait. I thought Jakclyn was the competing family, not you.
You always hated me when I competed with Darius."
"Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it is not."
"Need a hand?"
"Have you mastered Muffins?"
"...So who are we baking this strudel for again?"
"His name is Peter."
"Anything special about him!!!!!"
"He lives at the Orphanage."
"Oh."
"The same one we delivered too last time."
"Now, Ruby. It's not nice to pick favorites."
"Why not? I never grew up with siblings but I have heard that even parents have favorites."
"I….."
"It's true. I loved Raphael dearly."
"Hun!!!!!"
"....What? She asked."
"Doesn't mean you answer.
So, how special is this kid of yours? Will we get to see him?"
"Oh. Everyone will get to see him."
"Then maybe....we should bake two!!!!"
"Or one big one?"
"Still doesn't feel right. Feels like we are missing someone."
"I'll call him. Have him bring over Tomato."
"What? He gets to bring over a friend, but you neglect me? Can Tomato bake?"
"Calm down. We just need some help verifying if it's safe to use our ingredients. You can still taste test."
"Oh...Ok then."
"Ruby, you alright?"
"Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be? Can't I take a break from my busy life to come back home and just relax?"
"Usually when people 'relax' and do a task they feel comfortable with, that's because they want to distract themself from something.
What happened to your distraction? Where's Rainbow?"
"She…..
*DING….DONG*
Saved by the bell. Apple and Tomato must be here. Excuse me. I'll go let them in."
"Huh, don't push her."
"I know, but it's not good to cry alone."
"It's even worse to be alone."
"Apple, this time I assure you that nobody is going to mistake you as one of theirs.'
"That's good to know."
"Tomato, I need your help making sure these ingredients are safe to use."
"Roger that."
"Mrs. Heartchild will help go over any furher instructions, and Mr. Heartchild."
"Yeah?"
"I thought it over, and...How do you feel about redeeming yourself?"
"Yes!!!!!!"
"Tomato can be your hand after he…"
"All good, Ruby. Nothing to fear here."
"Actually, he can be your hand right now."
"Come on, Tomato. I'll show you what I need at the store."
"Okay."
"Looks like it's us vs you."
"I always love a challenge."
