Caboose's Guide To: Making Cookies

(Caboose is drawn on screen waving.)

Caboose: Hello again. I am here to show you all how to make cookies!

(The word 'Cookies' appears on screen with the 'k' backwards.)

Caboose: I like cookies and so do my friends.

(Blood Gulch characters plus Washington and Carolina appear and only Grif is shown with a cookie. The word 'Frends' appears with an arrow pointing towards the Reds, Blues, and the two Freelancers.)

(Everything erases and Caboose's voice can be heard.)

Caboose: To start, you need the oven to get hot. While you are waiting for it, we get to make the dough!

(Ingredients appear on screen along with a counter, bowl, and Caboose.)

Caboose: We are making chocolate chip cookies because everyone likes them. First, we need to put melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in the bowl.

(Caboose looks at the three said ingredients in confusion.)

Caboose: Why do you need two different types of sugar for cookies? Brown sugar will make it darker while white sugar will make it lighter. How does that work?

(Caboose puts the ingredients into the bowl still, despite his confusion. He mixes them together in the bowl.)

Caboose: Now we have to add eggs and vanilla. (Looks down at the eggs) I thought tiny birds were in here. I don't want to put birds in cookies. That's just sad.

(After mixing again, Caboose stares at the recipe paper.)

Caboose: Add baking soda, salt, and flour. By flour, does it mean the plants? I only have this bag of soft white powder that says 'FLOUR' when it says it needs 'FLOWER.' Making cookies is hard.

(Caboose puts the baking soda and salt into the bowl then adds the flour. Flour dust rises from the bowl and Caboose's face is covered in it.)

Caboose: And now we get to add the chocolate chips! I like this part because chocolate is delicious and it means its almost time to put them in the oven.

(A bag labeled 'CHOCOLATE CHIPS' appears and Caboose dumps the whole bag into the bowl. A mountain of chocolate chips covers the cookie dough pile.)

(Scene switches back to the oven, which is on fire.)

Caboose: Now that the dough is made, we can start putting it onto a tray and stick it into the oven. That… That didn't sound right…

(A cookie tray appears next to the bowl. Caboose is shown with a spoon in hand and a blob of cookie dough on it.)

Caboose: Mhm. Oh! I have to put the dough on the tray now.

(Tiny blobs of cookie dough appear in a 3 by 4 on the tray. Half of the dough is still in the bowl and Caboose is slowly starting to eat the dough.)

Caboose: Now its time for the cookies to bake! While I have to wait, I like to tell stories about things that I have done. Like travel back in time and see Church!

(Church appears and as Caboose starts walking towards him, he poofs away.)

Caboose: Or when Lieutenant McMuffin and I played Truth or Dare and he told me this recipe. Private Biscuit was really nice.

(A 'Ding!' Goes off and Caboose is shown with the tray of cookies.)

Caboose: Because they are done, I like to share them with my friends.

(Grif appears in the background taking all the cookies and running away. Caboose turns back to his cookies and realizes there were none left. All he does is shrug.)

Caboose: And that is how you make delicious cookies. They can even help you make friends. And done. Bye!

(Caboose waves and screen goes black)

I hope you guys enjoyed this little thing. I'll be doing more so request a character and a topic if you want to see what they'd do. I also want feedback on what you guys thought of this and if there is anything I can improve for this. The final thing is that if a lot of people actually like this, I might build up the courage to actually send this to Rooster Teeth because I would love it if they actually got Joel to read this as Caboose and it was animated like the other Caboose's Guides.

Thank you for reading and please share this so I can get as much feedback and open criticism so I can improve for future character guides.
