Ruby #649: I Can Do It Myself!

Ruby

Today, I'm going to treat you to some absolutely delicious strawberry desserts!

Player

I've been looking forward to this. Can I help you with anything?

Ruby

Nope! I want to be the one to make them for you!

Player

All right. I'll watch from beside you then.

Ruby

Okay!

Ruby

Um, so first we put the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice into the blender…like that. Then turn it on!

Ruby

Eeek!

Player

A-Are you okay?

Ruby

I'm fine! The sound of the blender just startled me, that's all!

Ruby

Next, mix the flour and baking powder together! Add an egg and stir, stir, stir!

Player

Ruby, that's amazing! You're not even using a recipe to make it!

Ruby

*Giggle* I memorized it. I mean, I made it a whole bunch of times to practi― Oops.

Ruby

Just pretend that you didn't hear that last bit!

Option 1: “You really practiced it a bunch of times?”

Player

You really practiced it a bunch of times just for today?

Ruby

Yeah… I was making it for you, so I absolutely couldn't screw it up.

Player

I see. Well, I really appreciate the thought! Thank you, Ruby.

Ruby

But it was supposed to be a seeecret…

Option 2: “I didn't hear a thing.”

Player

Okay, I didn't hear a thing. But you're already a really good cook, even without any extra practice.

Ruby

But I wanted this to be the tastiest it could be…

Ruby

…Hey! You just said you were going to pretend you hadn't heard all that!

Player

Sorry, sorry.

Ruby

Ahem! Getting back on track… All that's left to do now is to fill the molds and bake them!

Player

Hm, that shape… Are you making madeleines by any chance?

Ruby

That's right! Strawberry madeleines, in fact!

Player

Yay! I can't wait for them to be ready!

Ruby

*Chuckle* Then why don't we chat over some tea while we're waiting?

Ruby

That way, they'll be done in no time!

Player

I'm in!

Ruby

Yaaay!
