Season 2 Chapter 10: Maisie's Tea Party
Maisie Hatter was usually an energetic and happy girl, but lately she'd been feeling a little dull. She'd been bored with her life for a while, and didn't know what to do about it. Her mother, Maddie took notice of this when she picked her up from school one afternoon.
"Hello, Maisie, how was school?" Maddie asked.
"Okay, but it was boring." said Maisie.
"Nonsense, you love going to school and being with your friends."
"I know, but things are just boring, we learn the same lessons, we play the same games, and do the same thing everyday."
"That is boring."
"What should I do, Mom? This boring feeling is terrible."
"You've just got to put on your thinking cap, and think of a way out of this rut."
At home, Maddie was up in her room thinking about what she could do.
"What do you think, Teacake?" she asked her pet mouse.
Teacake just twitched her nose, this meant that she had no ideas. As Maisie paced around her room, she spotted something in her trash can. It was an old flier for her mom's tea shop.
That's when the idea popped into her head, and she hurried downstairs.
"You want to have a tea party?" asked Maisie.
"Yeah, I can invite my friends, it'll be so much fun, and I think this is just the thing I need to get out of this rut. Please, Mom?" begged Maisie.
Maddie thought about it.
"Well who am I to get in the way of tea party, you can."
Maisie hugged her mom, and said, "Thank you."
And she ran upstairs to start on the invitations. Her invitations were purple, with glitter, and she'd written the words nicely.
The next day at school, Maisie handed out the invitations.
"You're invited to a tea party at Mad Hatter's Tea Shop Saturday at 11:00am-2:00pm. There'll be tea, cookies, sandwiches, fruit, music, and fun. Come if you can." read Maria.
At recess the kids told Maisie their response to the invitation.
"I'd like to go." Rain told her.
"Me too." answered Jake.
All the kids agreed they'd go to Maisie's tea party, and they were sure their parents wouldn't object to it.
"Thanks, guys, it's going to be really fun." replied Maisie.
Back home, Maisie was making some lists of things for her tea party.
"Do you need help, sweet tea?" asked Maddie.
"No thanks, Mom, I can do this." assured Maisie.
"Okay, but if you need anything just ask."
Up in her room she made a list of things for the tea party.
"Let's see, light blue balloons, pink streamers, sea green tablecloths, purple plates and teacups, and some purple utensils." Maddie wrote down.
"For the menu, turkey finger sandwiches, chocolate chips cookies, sugar cookies, scones, jam, butter, fruit, veggie sticks, cheese cubes, blueberry tea, raspberry tea, lemon tea, and water. And for the music slow rock and roll."
Once the lists were made, she and Maddie went to the store to shop for the party. They got all the food from the grocery store, and decorations from the party store. Friday after school, Maisie went right to work on her party.
She tried to push the tables together, but it was very difficult so she decided to decorate the room first. Blowing up the balloons took a lot of breath out of her, and she had a hard time hanging up the streamers.
So when it was time to get the food ready, it was a disaster. Maisie had tried to do too much at once, she spilled the jam, smushed some of the cheese cubes, and accidentally crumbles some cookies.
"This is a disaster." said Maisie feeling very discouraged.
Maddie walked by the kitchen, and saw her daughter sitting on the kitchen floor and the mess.
"Maisie, what's wrong Sweet Tea?" she asked.
"I can't throw this tea party, everything's going wrong. I'm a terrible Hatter."
"Maisie, you are not a terrible Hatter, you just need a little help."
"Will you help me, Mom?"
"Why of course."
The two worked together, and the things got done. They pushed the tables together, laid out the tablecloths. Hung the streamers and balloons, set the tables, and prepared the food.
"Mom, the place looks great." observed Maisie.
It does, but we'll see what your friends think of it tomorrow." replied Maddie.
The next day at 11:00, Maisie's friends arrived.
"Welcome to my tea party, you guys." welcomed Maisie.
"Wow, this place looks great." complimented Kit.
"And the music's awesome." added Griffin.
"Thank you, now that we're all here, let's sit down for tea."
Everyone sat down, talked sip tea, and ate the food.
"Move down!" Maisie shouted, and everyone moved down the table.
The kids were having a blast, the tea and food were good, sang along with the music, moving down the table, and talking about kid things.
"Are you all having fun?" asked Maddie, coming into the room.
"Yeah, this is an awesome party." said Rose.
"You can throw a good tea party, Maisie." added Deven.
"Thanks." said Maisie.
"And have something for you, Maisie." said Maddie.
Everyone looked curiously as Maddie pulled out small white box.
"For throwing your first tea party, you've earned these." said Maddie, setting the box in front of her daughter.
Maisie opened the box, and couldn't believe what she saw. There was a yellow teacup shaped hat, and a pair of sea green gloves. She put them on, and stood up on her chair.
"Now I'm a real Hatter." she said, and all her friends cheered for her.
That night, Maisie was so tired from her party, that she fell asleep right away. Maddie peeked into her daughter's room, and saw that she was still wearing her hat and gloves. Though she knew she shouldn't be sleeping in them, Maddie let her daughter sleep in her new things.
It made her feel proud, her daughter indeed had tea flowing through her veins, just like her and her grandpa.
