RART Episode #20 - Raena's Birthday
Written by: CS-Masyet
Ail: Today's the first day of December. Time to flip the page on the calendar... Flips the calendar to December. Hm? What's this? There was something written on the December 1st square. "My birthday"? Hey orchid boy, did you write on my calendar?
Ran: No; why would I write on your calendar for?!?
Ail: Then who did...? ...wait, could it be?!? Runs out to the hall to Taffy's room.
Taffy: Hey, Raena's cute boyfriend! Are you here to see Leia?
Ail: I'm not her boyfriend. And I came here to see you; I need to ask you something.
Taffy: Sure, what is it?
Ail: Is today Raena's birthday?
Taffy: Raena's birthday, hm... Ah, it is! Thanks for reminding me!
Ail: Oh no, I need to get her something before it's too late...! Runs back to his room.
Taffy: See you later!
Ail: *sigh* (I can't think of anything... What should I get her?) Maybe walking will help me think... Walks in the hallway.
Mac: Walks up to him. Hey, Ail!
Ail: Hi, Mac... *sigh*
Mac: What's the matter?
Ail: I can't think of anything to get Raena for her birthday...
Mac: It's her birthday? Then you should make her a cake!
Ail: Hey, that's a pretty good idea! Thanks, Mac!
Mac: Don't mention it, buddy!
Ail: (I'm not that good at cooking though... I'll have to ask for his help...) Goes to Barry's room. Hey chef boy, I need your cooking expertise.
Barry: Oh, so you finally realized I am indeed a Master Chef, huh?
Ail: Yeah, sure... Anyway, can you help me make a cake?
Barry: A cake? What for?
Ail: It's Raena's birthday today, and I wanted to give her something.
Barry: Since it's for Raena, I'll be glad to help. But on one condition.
Ail: What is it?
Barry: You have to call me "Master Chef" from now on.
Ail: *groan* Do I have to?
Barry: Yes.
Ail: How about until we're done making the cake?
Barry: *sigh* ...deal.
Ail/Barry: Go to the kitchen.
Ail: So, what do we do first, chef boy?
Barry: Ahem...
Ail: Sorry, "Master Chef"...
Barry: Thank you.
Taffy/Ran: Come in the room.
Taffy: Hey brother and Raena's cute boyfriend! Whatcha doin'?
Ail: I already told you, I'm not her boyf-...
Barry: We're making a cake for Raena's birthday. Want to help?
Taffy: Okay! Ran, you help too!
Ran: Fine, I guess... (Since it's for that cute girl...)
Barry: Okay! Ail, get these ingredients. Gives him a list. They're somewhere in this room.
Ail: Alright.
Barry: Ahem...
Ail: Master Chef... Gets ingredients.
Barry: Taffy, you can help me put them in.
Taffy: Okay!
Barry: And for you, Ran... Hm... Hey Ail, does Raena like strawberries?
Ail: Yeah.
Barry: Ran, go to the store and buy some strawberries.
Ran: *sigh* Fine... Runs to the store. (I'm guessing I'm gonna have to pay from my own pocket...)
Clerk: Hello; you're a cute girl! How can I help you?
Ran (angry): I'm a guy...
Clerk: O-oh, my apologies! What do you need?
Ran: Some strawberries...
Clerk: Gives him some strawberries. Here you go. That'll be $5.
Ran: Pays and leaves. (Jeez, I can't wait to cut off this stupid ponytail...) Goes back. I got the strawberries.
Barry: Good, we just finished making the cake. Now all that's left is to cook it. Puts it in the oven. And now we wait for 15 mi-... The cake explodes.
Ran: W-what the?!?
Taffy: Was that supposed to happen?
Ail: Hey, "Master Chef"... Why did our cake just explode?!?
Barry: That's very strange... Maybe something's wrong with the oven...
Ail: Or maybe you put in the wrong ingredients...
Barry: Actually, Taffy was the one who put in ingredients...
Ran: Taffy, what did you do?
Taffy: What? I put in exactly what brother told me! Flour, eggs, milk, cream, sugar... Oh, and some of Gui's powder.
Ail: Gui's powder?
Taffy: Well, it says "Gui Powder" on the label...
Ran: Let me see it.
Taffy: Here. Shows Ran the powder.
Ran: Taffy...
Taffy: Yeah?
Ran: It doesn't say "Gui Powder", it says "Gun Powder"!
Taffy: Ooooh... I was wondering why Gui had his own brand of powder...
Ail: Why did I save you again...?
Taffy: 'cause I'm cute!
Barry: She got you there, Ail.
Ail: Shut up, chef boy!
Ran: Where the heck did you even get gun powder from, anyway?!?
Taffy: Uh...
Ail/Barry: Leia...
Ail: Great, now what are we going to do?
Barry: We'll have to make another ca-...
Raena: Comes in. There you all are! What are you all doing?
Ail: Uh... um...
Taffy: We were making a cake for you, but I accidentally made it explode... I'm really sorry...
Raena: You... what? Starts crying.
Ail: Ah! Runs up to her. D-don't cry! We'll make you another cake! I promise!
Raena (crying): Wipes her face. I'm not crying because I'm sad; I'm crying because I'm happy...
Ail: Huh?
Raena: You all are working so hard just to make a cake for me... Thank you so much!
Ail: Smiles.
Taffy: It was Ail's idea.
Raena (blushing): Really? Hugs Ail. Thank you, Ail!
Ail (blushing): I-it was nothing...
Ran: ...
Raena: But how did you know it was my birthday?
Ail: You wrote it on my calendar.
Raena: Oh yeah, I forgot! I was going to tell you, but then the staff told me I had to move, so I didn't have time...
Ail: I see...
Lisa: Comes in with a cake. Happy birthday, sis! ...don't you two seem friendly with each other...
Raena (blushing): A-ah! Lets go of Ail. W-what are you doing here, Lisa...?
Lisa: I wanted to give you a cake for your birthday, but I thought you wouldn't come home today because of your friends. So I brought it here.
Ail: How did you know we were in the kitchen?
Lisa: One of your friends told me. He's a big guy, but he's really friendly.
Ail: You must mean Mac...
Raena: Why didn't he come with you?
Lisa: He wanted to bring some other people over here...
Mac: Comes in with Chelsea, Tech, and Leia. Hey, guys!
Tech: Hey...
Leia: How come no one told me there was a party?
Chelsea: Sorry Raena, I didn't know it was your birthday...
Raena: It's okay.
Lisa: Alright everyone, on three... One, two...
Ail/Barry/Lisa/Ran/Taffy/Tech/Leia/Chelsea/Mac: Happy birthday, Raena!
