Scouting Troubles
Are you sure that's right? Canary Yellow questioned looking at a large mixing bowl dubiously. The insides contained a grainy yellowish brown substance that made her stomach turn slightly. Patty O' Green and Buddy Blue, who had also volunteered to help in the kitchen that morning, seemed to share her opinion.
Brian abandoned his own bowl; this one filled with a sticky dark brown liquid and walked over to the yellow color kid. After a quick inspection he smiled. "Yep that's a good batter." His friends exchanged a look as their earth friend carried the bowl over to something called a griddle and proceeded to put scoops of the stuff onto its metal surface.
To their surprise, the runny mixture started to bubble and turn into firm and fluffy disks. After a moment Brian turned them over with a spatula. "So these are pancakes?" Buddy Blue questioned as he looked at the light brown disks. Brian nodded. "Yep!" He said simply.
"Can pancakes be done in any shape?" A soft and sleepy voice questioned from behind them. Everyone looked over at the new arrival and smiled. "Good Morning Moonglo!" Canary Yellow said brightly. Moonglo smiled back before yawning. "Morning." She said gently before yawning again.
"Normally I'd still be in bed now, but it smells too good down here to sleep." Indeed the night keeper was right. Anyone who had passed by the kitchen had immediately stopped in their tracks and peeked inside. Brian of course was used to it. He quickly transferred the steamy disks onto a plate and reached for the batter before remembering.
"Oh! Moonglo I've got my cookie cutters in my backpack if you want different shapes." Brian gestured offhandedly to a battered brown bag lying nearby. The tiredness momentarily disappeared from the moon girl's eyes and she walked over to the pack. After a minute she smiled.
"Are these what you wanted Brian?" Moonglo questioned as she brought them over. Each of the cookie cutters were a different shape and had a handle on them. Brian smiled. "They sure are. Now what shapes do you want?"
Not far away from the castle, a pair of eyes watched the activity happening inside. The eyes growled out their annoyance and darkened with hate. "Color Brats." A low voice said venomously. For a moment everything stood still from the declaration.
"Hey look Murky a picnic!" A familiar voice declared out joyfully. Murky who had been spying on the group from inside a large bush, jumped out momentarily in his surprise.
"Hey that looks like fun!" Look Murky I can do it too!" Lurky announced happily as he jumped up and down in plain sight. Murky didn't share the large sprite's enthusiasm. "Get in here Banana Brain!" He growled out. "Duuuhhh…Okay Murky!"
Murky immediately regretted his words as his bumbling partner dove into the bush and right on top of him. "LURKY!!!!!!!!" he yelled out angrily. Murky was so intent on chewing out his sidekick that he was oblivious to the sound of someone whistling. Had they been listening they might have noticed the whistles sounded almost like laughter….
Guess What! I'm BAAAAACCCCK:)
