Contagious laughter roars through the kitchen, ringing itself throughout the cozy apartment and soaking into the sunlight that fades through the curtains. There's a heavy smattering of flour coating nearly every surface, mixing with the air hazily, and every possible type of kitchen equipment is splayed out every which way on the countertops. Celesta grunts as she stirs into her cake base even harder in an attempt to work out the clumps of dry box mix.

"There is no reason for this to be as hard as it is right now," she whines. Rory gives a smirk in return without looking away from his bowl. He seems to be stirring effortlessly and without much of a fuss. "I mean really! You're already done with yours and I'm still finding little bits everywhere."

Celesta gives a wry smile and quirks one brow playfully. She pokes at a particularly large offending lump in her mix to break it up. Rory snorts in reply.

"Just admit it, my cake is going to be sooo much better. My mix is already cooperating with me more than yours. It's a premonition.. The proof is in the pudding!"

"We are making cakes, not pudding."

"I know that."

"So there is no pudding for your proof."

"I suppose, if you wanted to take it literally."

"Well, I will!" Celesta laughs with her mocking tone. She finds herself finally satisfied with her batter and begins to pour it into the round pan before sliding it into the oven. "Keep talking that talk Rory but we'll see how you fare against my masterful decoration skills!"

𝒸𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓁𝑜𝒶𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔 . . . 🍰

Two twin cakes rest on the baking rack. Celesta and Rory are busying themselves with the frostings while the cakes cool. The purple goob drinks in the sweet smell of their cakes.

"Wait-- wait--, go back a few seconds. I didn't hear what they said about the frogs." Rory furrows his brows. His hands are covered in food coloring. Celesta uses her pinky finger to rewind the tutorial video they are watching.

"You just dollop them on there. Don't worry about the details too much," the purple goo waves her hands around nonchalantly. "I'm more worried about the mushrooms on the side. It's going to be sooo hard to pipe that without dribbling it everywhere."

Rory nods sympathetically. They pull their cakes closer and begin to frost. In the background their pop music playlist is bouncing, encouraging emotional solos and pipette-bag-microphone performances. Rory and Celesta somehow manage to paint their cake canvases with their base level of frosting and begin decorating the finer details.

By the time they are finished, two masterpieces sit on the counter before them, gloriously plated, and ready for peer evaluation.

Rory's cake shows charm and whimsy. He spins around the plate to garner some ooh's and aah's from his audience of one.

"They are best friends, just like us!"

"Mine are best friends too! This one is giving that one a flower gift." Celesta points to her own cake with a grin. "How long have they been friends? Forever and ever?"

"Haha, yeah. Forever and ever."

Just like us. . .

Welcome to The Farm!

Said a large, decorative sign that sat above two beautiful iron gates. As the gates opened, it is like you have stepped through the 4th dimension and into a parallel universe. Instead of being in the present, you have travelled at least a millennium into the past to arrive at such an elusive world. In this expanse of green there are more hues than anyone has ever named, yet, here they are for all eyes to see. The land rolls as it always has, as if it feels that time and space are one thing, that it rolls through the ages as much as to the horizon. Over it lays a path, made from a jigsaw of stone and concrete, making your paws and claws click as you make your way towards the main building; they call it The Barnhouse. Large limestone pavers consider themselves the central foundation of the building, while a beautifully crafted entrance welcomes you with a big smile. Stone pillars stand like guards on each side of the dark oak double-doors, which are decorated with an intricate cast iron design. The timber is cherry red, so bright you almost need sunglasses to look at it. Its a beautiful homage to traditional country barns, and it almost gives you a sense of nostalgia just being in its presence.

Today was a day of sunshine, sunshine so brilliant and warm but not with the heat of the full-blown summer. It was a crisp spring morning on The Farm, perfect for some berry picking. The fields were no longer swathes of rutted mud; each one was blissfully verdant, the new stems ruffling in the light breeze. The air had a wonderful warmth and fragrance- the smell of fresh berries and something slightly savoury filled your nose. What exactly was this place? What was The Farm?

A voice sweeter than the air came from behind, making your head snap around to see what was happening. "Hi! Welcome to The Farm! I'm Juniper, my friend Skippy will be meeting us at the berry fields later on!" Juniper said happily, prompting you to follow with a wave of her paw. "This farm was made by myself and Skippy, all on our own. Our crops were doing so well that we decided to let special people, like yourself, take tours, and if you're lucky you'll get some samples too!" Juniper said as you both walked along the cobblestone path beside the Barnhouse and towards the rolling fields of plentiful crops. You smile at the subtle compliment, but also at the prospect of taking some of the well-known harvests home. Back in the city everyone raves about Juniper and Skippy's farm- it's even made the newspaper a few times! You recognised Juniper instantly as she has always been the face of The Farm. Skippy, however, was different. He was a bit more reserved, and didn't seem to like pictures much. You wonder how two polar opposites could get along so well, but you don't dwell too much as the first field of fruit came into your line of sight. Strawberries- a fan favourite. The field was littered with rich pinks and florescent greens, but you notice a few off colours in the distance. "Skippy! We're here!" Juniper boomed to her best friend as he started making his way towards the two of you. "Hi friends, welcome" Skippy said, a small grin plastered across his lips. "Strawberries, the first crop Juniper and I planted together" Skippy explained, taking one of the fresh sprigs into his paws and pulling the fruit from its stem. He looked at it happily, then handed the plump, juicy fruit to you. "It's our favourite, care to see why?" He said as he invited you to eat it.

The strawberry was the perfect pocket of sweetness, an absolute delight for the tastebuds. How could such a wonderful crop be cultivated by only two Goobies?

Skippy and Juniper also took a strawberry each, sending them down the hatch without any second thoughts. They seemed super comfortable in each others presence and unbothered by your curiosity. They must have been able to sense it somehow, because Juniper took your paw and started to lead the way again. "Come come, I'll show you the rest!" they said with a tone so friendly and eyes sparkling with genuine joy. Skippy trotted behind the two of you with a spring in his step. He was much less mysterious than the world thought, but it really did not bother him that he wasn't a large part of The Farms branding, unlike Juniper. He believed Juniper had a much more, welcoming face, not to mention that Juniper actually liked to smile in photos. Skippy could not think of anything worse than a forced smile. He would rather be caught in the moment, or something candid like that. But there was one thing for certain, and it was that Skippy and Juniper always enjoyed each others company, and enjoy showing off their most prized possession even more.
