the uncommon occurrence

Chapter 3

Since Violet and Misty had already done most of the work yesterday all they had to do was the desserts. Violet left at six and let Misty sleep in so she could get a head start on the cakes. When she got to the kitchen she was surprised to see the prince leaning over the counter looking at a cook book in sweatpants and an undershirt.

"What are you doing here?"asked Violet like she was accusing him of a terrible crime.

"Oh hey!" Jake said ignoring her question. "What are you doing here?" Repeated Violet. Jake sighed. "I was going to surprise you and Misty with breakfast as a thank you for what she's doing but I can't find the food!" He exclaimed. Violet's expression softened and she silently walked over to a large oak wood closet door. Inside was a huge walk in the refrigerator that was twice the size of Violet in height, Violet was 5"6". Jake gasped in amazement at the refrigerator as Violet pulled out a ladder and got the eggs from the shelf.

"You know how to cook eggs, right?"

"Um...not really." He said as he scratched the back of his head.

Violet sighed. She knew she had to start the cakes but hey, a girl has to eat. "Ok I'll show you by cooking mine but after that I can't help you."

"Thank you so much." He sighed in relief.

She got out two pans and four eggs then showed him how to crack the shell. He got a couple bits in. He tried to grab it out with his hand but was failing miserably. "Here let me get that." Said Violet as she took a piece of a shell and scooped it out. By 7:00 Jake and Violet had made eggs, bacon, and toast for all three of them.

"Now I have to ask you a favor." Said Violet

"After what you did, anything." Replied the prince.

"I need you to help me make the cakes."

"Yeah sure."

So Violet and Jake set to work on the 5 piece cake tower. They made the mixes and popped them in the oven. By the time Misty came in Violet and Jake were leaning against the counter, chatting and waiting for the cakes to be done baking. She was just as surprised as Violet was when she came in. She looked back and forth at the two for awhile until Misty gave her a very confused look. Violet explained everything to her while Jake got out the food and heated it up.

As soon as the food was ready the three of them inhaled their food until there wasn't a single crumb left.

"That was delicious Jake!" Exclaimed Misty

He chuckled. "Thank you but if it wasn't for violet everything would've been burnt like rocks."

Misty giggled at that, he was so funny to her.

"So are you ready for the ball?" Asked violet trying to break the silence.

"I sure am, are you Misty?" Asked the prince.

"I would be but I have no idea how to dance." She muttered.

"We'll why didn't you say so! I'll teach you!" He said excitedly as he jumped out if his seat. He pulled Misty out if her seat and brought her to the middle of the kitchen where their was a big empty space. The maids would sometimes put a table there for when they had to make a big meal.

"I'll teach you the normal dance first."

He showed Misty what he would do while she watched. He then took at half a arms length and waltz with her and he counted out loud "123,223" and ect. In a few minutes Misty was a pro.

"Now I'll teach you the slow dance." He said as he awkwardly brought himself close to Misty and took her hand in his. Misty felt tingly every where he touched her, she liked that feeling. Her heart was beating a mile a minute and knew Jake could feel it because she could feel his beating even faster against her chest. "Why was his heart beating so fast?" she thought to her self. "He couldn't be nervous he must just be tired from dancing."

"Basically what you do is the same thing but slower." He said looking down at her, gosh she was pretty. "Ok I can do that" she replied.

The two danced and danced and completely forgot about Violet who was silently watching them and smiling. She got up and pulled the cakes out of the oven and started to frost them. "Your ready." Said Jake. "Yeah I think so to." She said quietly. She stopped dancing and hugged him then got on her tip toes and whispered the words "thank you" in his ear. Jake gave her a confused look and said "for what your the one doing me a favor?"

"Yes but your about to let me do something I would've never been able to do as a servant.

"Well then, I'm honored to be the one to grant you this privilege."

With that he took Misty hand bowed, kissed it and left to his room. Misty turned around to see Violet smiling from ear to ear.

"Shut up." Giggled Misty who knew exactly what she was thinking. "Let's just get back to work."

For the rest of the day it seemed like forever for 5:00 to come along. With every tick of the clock Misty's anticipation grew more and more. Until finally, it came.
