Dedicated to the BFF, the provider of the cupcake, my sunshine.
Once upon a time in a land much like this one, a beautiful princess woke up and glided towards the kitchen of her house.
She was listening to the talking fridge and considering what to have for breakfast when she heard.... a very small squeaky little voice... she couldn't quite make out what it was saying, so she followed the sound until she found the owner of the small high pitched chatter.
The beautiful princess searched and searched and was quite amazed when she saw that the little voice was owned by...a cupcake. Yes, a cupcake.
Do you know what the cupcake was saying?
It looked up at the adorable princess and said, "My Fair Lady... please, please rescue me from my miserable existence!"
Shocked, the stunning princess picked up the cupcake and said, "miserable existence? you are a cupcake what is so miserable about that?"
Shocked, the stunning princess picked up the cupcake and said, "miserable existence? you are a cupcake what is so miserable about that?"
The cupcake frowned and explained, "well, Princess, I have lots of friends... we have been friends for a long time... well in cupcake time it is ages. We were mixed together and spooned out together and we were even baked together! Then we were frosted together and decorated with sugary jelly bits."
The princess was quite perplexed. It sounded to her that the cupcake had a fairly ordinary sort of life, for a cupcake. It didnt seem all that miserable to her, especially when the cupcake had undergone all these major life events surrounded by awesome friends.
"Then... a terrible thing happened" continued the cupcake. "My friends started leaving me."
"Oh, no!" gasped the princess, "Why?"
"My friends, were being eaten!" replied the cupcake. "They were all moving on to the great pattypan in the sky"
"Fair Lady, Dear Princess, there is only one thing you can do."
The princess and the cupcake looked into each other's eyes. A great tingle swept over the princess as she realised what the cupcake was suggesting.
Then, they both lived happily ever after.
"Oh, no!" gasped the princess, "Why?"
"My friends, were being eaten!" replied the cupcake. "They were all moving on to the great pattypan in the sky"
"Oh, dear," said the princess, "all your friends left you?! Well, no wonder you are living a miserable existence. But what can I do?" she asked.
"Fair Lady, Dear Princess, there is only one thing you can do."
The princess and the cupcake looked into each other's eyes. A great tingle swept over the princess as she realised what the cupcake was suggesting.
"I couldn't possibly!"
"But Princess, you must! Please, Princess, you must eat me! You must eat me, so that I can follow my friends and we can be together once more."
The princess nodded. While she wasn't in the habit of eating cupcakes, especially talking ones, she knew what she had to do. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth.
The cupcake jumped inside and the princess chewed him up and swallowed him.
She shed a tear for the suicidal cupcake and made herself a slice of toast.
Then, they both lived happily ever after.
