As Easy As Pie

Chapter 3: Cookie

//This chapter is a bit long, but it's so cute and fluffy it'll probably give you fluff allergies. It's really cute, and I'm pretty proud of it, so read it all! I promise you won't be disappointed haha. This chapter is named cookie, however the media box has a picture of Eddy with a small girl (big uwu) and a video of Brett with a (not really a small kid) boy//

Before Ray could reply, a small child walked up to them, holding a half-eaten sugar cookie in her tiny hands. She raised her head so that her clear blue eyes peered into Brett's black ones.

"It's you!! You're Brett Yang!!" She excitedly exclaimed, pointing up at Brett.

Brett smiled, "You're so smart! You forgot something though. I am Brett, Emperor of the Cakes!" Brett grandly announced, making the small girl giggle. "What's your name, princess?" At this, Brett got down on one knee, took the girl's tiny hand in his own, and kissed it.

This resulted in even more giggles, and the girl's happiness was written across her face.

"My name is Chloe! And guess what?" Chloe paused, and her eyes widened.

"What?" Brett asked in return, his eyes just as big.

"I'm 5 years old!!!!" The girl excitedly whispered.

"Whaaaaat?? No way!" Brett said with a gasp.

"I am! You can even ask my mom!" The girl said, her eyes growing to an even bigger size than before.

Brett looked behind her shoulder, to find her mom standing with her phone in her hands, recording the whole ordeal.

"Really? When was your birthday?" Brett asked, handing the girl a lollipop from the jar on the counter.

"It's today, silly!" Chloe announced, as if it was bizarre that Brett didn't know.

"Really?" Brett asked, a smile playing on his lips.

"Yes! My mom brought me here to celebrate!" Chloe gushed.

"Well, this is no way to celebrate! Where are the balloons? Where are the candles?" Brett asked, discreetly looking at Ray, who hurried to the storage closet to get balloons. (Don't ask why Brett kept balloons. It was just something he did)

As soon as Brett finished talking, the girl took another bite of her cookie, and with her mouth full of crumbs, said with a frown: "I don't have a balloon. Or candles."

"Hey hey hey! Don't worry! Superhero Brett is here to save the day! I have a surprise for you!" Brett tickled the girl.

After the giggles died down (from both Brett and Chloe), Chloe took a deep breath.

"Wait," She started, a look of seriousness suddenly on her face. "I thought you were Brett Yang, Emporium of the cakes!"

"Being a detective, are we?" Brett said with a toothy grin. He decided against pointing out that she meant "emperor" not "emporium".

"I'm smart! I know all my ABC's!! And," At this her voice lowered to a whisper- "I even know how to -a pause- count to 10!!"

"No way! Can I tell you a secret? I can only count to 5!" Brett said with a fake pout.

"Oh no! Don't worry, I'll help you! See, one, two, three, six, four, nine....." Chloe's voice trailed off. "I forgot..." She said with a frown.

"Hey! Cheer up, buttercup! Turn that frown upside down. Where's my little sunshine?" Brett tickled the girl once more.

"I'm right here, silly!" Chloe announced with an adorable laugh.

"Are you? I can't see you!" Brett exclaimed, looking around with a worried expression.
