Chapt. 1: The Cake
It was a fine day on planet Zi. Leena Toros was looking at the calendar when suddenly....
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The loudest, most bone-crumbling, most heart-stopping scream ever ripped through the Hover Cargo…! Jamie, who was cooking, grabbed a frying pan; Brad in the hangar grabbed a wrench; and Bit, who was raiding the fridge, grabbed a turkey leg. They all ran to help Leena.
Puffing and panting signaled Jamie's arrival. "Leena! What is it?!"
"What's goin' on?!" Brad demanded, brandishing his wrench. Bit, upon seeing that everyone was all right, simply pulled a donut out of his pocket and said, "Anybody want a bite?"
Naturally, everyone else fell over anime-style. Bit shrugged. "Great! More for me!" With that, he began munching on the donut.
"Look! LOOK...!!!!!!!!!!!" Leena grabbed him and spun him around to face the calendar as she jabbed at it with a finger. Everyone stared…
"So it's Doc's birthday. So what?" Brad stifled a bored yawn. Bit's reaction was the opposite. "Let's bake him a cake!" he suggested with a grin.
"But I don't know how to bake!" Jamie sputtered. "Cooking's one thing. Baking's another! Don't make him do it, Leena! Leena…?"
All Jamie's hopes for support were vaporized—Leena was concentrating on other matters. "He asks for the most AWFUL presents!" she declared, her voice squeaking a bit. "Last time, he invited Harry over! It was HORRIBLE!!!"
"…Do go on. Your account sounds...extremely...unique." Brad's voice was oozing sarcasm.
"You have to calm down, Leena. Doc's birthday is still two days away. We have lots of time to prepare," Jamie muttered as he studied the calendar. "Any—OOF!" He was knocked aside by Bit, who pumped a fist into the air and cried, "Yeah! Come on, guys! Let's bake a cake! It'll be fun!"
"Yeah, sure. That's what my mom told me when she tried to make me eat Brussels sprouts." Brad rolled his eyes.
"Hmmm..." Jamie rubbed his head. "I suppose we could try it out…GAH!"
Bit had knocked Jamie aside again. "Yeah! Come on, you guys! Whaddaya say, Leena? Brad?"
"Hmpf! Alright. We'll try it."
"Whoop-de-do."

In the kitchen, the Blitz Team had gathered round a table and was looking through a cookbook.
"Okay. First, we should choose our cake," Jamie noted. "Suggestions?"
"I WANT THAT ONE!!!" Bit shouted, stabbing a finger at something unidentifiable. Leena took one look at the picture and recipe name, and immediately smacked him upside on the head. "Bit, you idiot! That's liver and onions!!!"
"Liver and onions is nice! It's healthy!"
Jamie sighed and tried not to roll his eyes. "Ummm...Bit, we're supposed to bake a cake."
"Hey, hey…" Brad pointed to another recipe. "How 'bout that one?"
"Not bad, Brad! Except for one thing..." Leena indicated the recipe name. Brad's eyebrows shot up questioningly. "Yeah? So, your point is...?"
"Erhm, Brad, I don't think coffee cake would be the best choice for Doc...," Jamie murmured. Brad's eyebrows shot even further up. "How come?"
(Creepy music could almost be heard playing in the background just then…)
"Remember...the last time...when we gave him some coffee...?" Leena whispered, her face somber and serious.
A flashlight flickered on. Bit held it under his chin. "Yeah...Whoooooo..."
Jamie nodded solemnly and took his hat off as he bowed his head. "Aye. May you rest in peace, Mrs. Toros."
"Sad, sad story, isn't it?" Brad said, sighing.
"Poor mom...she never knew what hit her...," Leena sniffled.
They were all silent for a minute, and then they snapped back to attention. Leena straightened up, Jamie put his hat back on, and Bit switched off the flashlight. Brad let out a low whistle. "Boy, I guess we'd better be careful about what to give Doc, huh?"
"That's right." Jamie was silent as he studied the rest of the cookbook for a few seconds. Then he pointed to another cake. "This one seems okay. What do you say, guys?"
"Hm. Sounds good to me!" Bit nodded.
"This li'l baby'll be a piece of cake!" Leena agreed. (a/n: pardon the pun.)
"As long as it isn't that messy, then fine."
With the final word in, Jamie confirmed, "Then it's settled. We'll bake this cake!"
"Yeah!"
