"Another day, another batch of customers." Poppy said as she opened the cafe. She, Branch, Smidge, Cooper, Fuzzbert, and the other employees enter and change to their uniforms in the restrooms. A female sprite is talking on the phone and ended the call that she flew in to tell Poppy the news.
"Wow, we aren't opened yet and we have tons of macaron orders." She said.
"That's great!" Smidge squealed.
"What are macarons?" Cooper asked with Fuzzbert translating with sign language.
"Macarons are fancy cookie sandwiches that come in all sorts of different flavors with ganache, buttercream, jam, or cream cheese for filling." Poppy informed them. "We just need three large egg whites, one-fourth cup of white sugar, one two-thirds of confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract, butter, cream of tartar, granulated sugar, and one cup of almond flour."
"Yeah, we got a busy day ahead of us, good thing we've been planning this day all along." Poppy said. "And nothing will ever go wrong."
"But, we have one obstacle ahead." Branch warned her.
"Who, Branch? Brandy and her posse?" She rolled her eyes. "Those vagrants are still building their restaurant."
"No, it's Rose." He said.
"Oh, I remember Rose goes fucking nuts when she sees the shit over all our macarons." Smidge remembers her. "She would order more than one macaron."
"She was crazy about it." Branch added, remembering the time she would look at the macarons in bakeshops and stare at them like an owl for minutes but they have to pry her from the window.
"Okay, we only make the macarons once a year because they're tough to make." Poppy said. "But we also have to keep Rose away from them too."
"She'll go insane again if she sees them." Cooper huffed.
"Yeah, we just have to make the macaroons secretly without Rose knowing about it." Branch said.
"Let's get started!" Poppy announced as she and her team started to prepare the ingredients for the macarons.
Cooper and Fuzzbert work on the fillings while Smidge and Poppy did the cookie shells. Branch fixed all the boxes while keeping his eye out for Rose, in case she gets crazy over them. They continue making the macarons, batch by batch until they are finally done. One cookie shell has the filling placed on them while the other overlaps them like a sandwich. When the macarons are finished, they make sure that Rose would not get crazy about it. When lunch rush arrived, Rose enters the cafe.
"Oh no, Rose is gonna go insane if she sees the macarons." Branch panicked. "I'll hold her off."
"Branch, she might handle herself if she could control her desire." Poppy assured him.
"But in case she gets crazy, I'll get her away from the macarons." He huffed as he flare to the counter so that he can make sure Rose keeps away from the macarons.
When Rose came to the counter, she ordered some pasta and iced tea while Branch watches from the soda bar to see if she gets crazy over the macarons that they displayed. Whenever she passes by the bakery display, Branch would try to attempt to hide the baked goods from Rose. When the Branch tried to hide the macarons from Rose, Poppy caught him.
"Branch, are you trying to hide the macarons from her?" Poppy asked him.
"Well, I'm trying to keep the macarons away from her." Branch said.
"But she might had enough macarons that she is satisfied?" She added.
"How did you know?" He asked her.
"It's her expression." She answered.
Suddenly, Rose was going near the pastry glass case. This caused Branch to become so protective but Poppy hold him back.
"She will go crazy!? What if she can't control herself!?" Branch panicked.
"Why don't we look and find out." Poppy said as they looked at Rose going near the macarons.
Rose came up to the showcase but miraculously, she didn't get crazy when she saw the macarons at all. Branch was confused why she didn't stare at their macarons like an owl or order them immediately.
"Wow, Rose sure didn't order any of our macarons at all." He sighed.
"I told you she could control herself." Poppy grinned.
"We thought she would get crazy over our macarons but she gets no reaction when she saw them." Cooper said.
"Who's getting crazy?" Rose asked.
"Well, I am trying to keep you away from the macarons because we remember you get crazy over it." Branch said.
"And Branch tried to keep you from it." Smidge said with Fuzzbert signing it.
"You though I get crazy when I see macarons?" Rose asked them.
"Yeah, we know how you react when you see the macarons." Poppy said.
"I'm not going crazy over the macarons." Rose said. "I love macarons but it's so expensive that I have to save up money to buy them."
"Wait, you are actually looking at the macarons but you never get crazy over it?" Branch asked her.
"Yeah, I am saving up my money to give you all something." Rose said as she took out a box filled with macarons.
"Wow, you are giving us some macarons for us to share?" Poppy was shocked.
"Yeah, and it's a surprise for all of you but it's so rare that we get macarons so I want to buy a box of them from the bakeshop as a surprise." Rose said when she laid out the box and opened it. Inside, she revealed an assorted set of macarons.
"Wow! You're full of surprises." Poppy was impressed.
"Well, I saved the best for last." She said.
Just then, Guy Diamond, Satin and Chenille, DJ Suki, Violet, and Biggie arrived at the cafe to see Rose with Poppy, Branch, Smidge, Cooper, and Fuzzbert.
"Rose, you got us macarons!" Guy was shocked.
"I wanted to have macarons for myself but it wouldn't be fun with just me having the macarons so I decided to share all of them with you." Rose said.
"Awww, you chose to do what's right." Poppy sighed as the whole Snack Pack started sharing the whole box with each other.
The team started to feast on the macarons that Rose bought, knowing that, even though she goes crazy over something she craves, it's better to share them than eating them alone.
