The Cake

"MOOOOOOM!!!!!" She looked up to see her daughter, Becca in the doorway.

"I said I wanted cupcakes for my friends!"

It was the day of Becca's 10th birthday party and her mother was making her a big vanilla flavored cake.

"What colour icing do you think I should do?" She asked her daughter. Becca looked like she was going to explode. Becca was about to say something when her mom interrupted.

"Turquoise, I'm guessing. Right?"

"MOM!! What about my cupcakes!" Becca yelled loudly. Her mother walked around the kitchen, putting away ingredients as she went. Then she walked over to Becca and said.

"I didn't have any cupcake pans, and it was too late to go to the store and get some. So you're going to have a big cake to share with your friends. Okay? I can make you cupcakes when you go to school." Becca stood there a little shocked and nodded. Chip came running in and barking all over the place, while Gizmo watched.

"Becca! Do something about that dog of yours! I'm never going to get this done with all these distractions!" Becca nodded and walked over to where Chip was laying on the floor, barking like a maniac.

"Come on Chip, time to go outside now." Becca told her dog. Once she said that Chip jumped up and started running again. Becca ran after him and chased him outside.

Becca's mother pointed her finger toward the door, and Gizmo gt up and went outside to play with Chip. Becca watched her mom as she put the icing on the cake. I want to do something helpful. She thought, and went over to the sink and started the water. Her mom looked over and smiled.

"Thanks Becca, but you should set up the table outside."

"Okay mom." Becca stopped the water and went into the cabinet and grabbed the party table supplies. She walked outside and set up the table.

"Now to get some snacks." She walked back in and grabbed the chips, veggie spread, and fruit platter.

"Becca, after you're done putting that on the table, you can take the cake out there too." Becca looked over at the cake, and smiled. Wow, that is a really good looking cake. She went outside and put the food items in their designated spots on the table, then went back inside to get the cake.

When Becca came back inside, her mom was already done cleaning up and was rising her hands off.

"Mom magic." Becca said quietly.

"What was that Becca?" Mother asked.

"Oh nothing." She replied, and grabbed the cake.

She was carefully bringing the cake outside, when Chip ran though her legs, almost causing the cake to fall. Becca looked at her dog with the 'Bad dog' eyes, and he sat down. Then Becca smiled signaling him that he could go play again. He jumped up and ran past her and into the grass.

Becca was just about to put the cake on the table when Gizmo came running through her legs, and since he was a bigger dog, not by much but just enough, he caused the cake to fall. The cake falling was like in slow motion, Becca turned and watched the cake go SPLAT on the ground.

When the dogs realized that there was food on the ground, they came running over and started eating it. Becca fell to her knees and started crying.

"Why! Why did this have to happen to me!"

Just when she said that, her friend Malayni came in through the back gate.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEC-oh. Oh what happened?" She said while holding something. And that something was a present. And that present was a plate of cupcakes.

A.N. We did these stories off of pictures, and the picture I used was this one that had a girl sitting on her knees with a smashed cake in front of her.
