Cell x 21 drabble - Cake
The cake was lopsided with runny icing, put on too soon after baking making it melt. It was also clear the batter had not been mixed well enough as there were clumps of cake mix too. Still she figured it would taste decent. A cake was a cake, and she had never had a bad cake.
“You did this all yourself? Oh I'm so proud of you for trying something new.” Android 21 cut herself a slice and beamed at Cell, who was radiating more prideful smugness than usual. On cutting it she found it had also not baked long enough, still gooey inside.
But that wasn’t a bad thing. She liked licking the batter off the spatula, it would be like that.
She took a bite, and the flavor was a little too eggy, but still quite tasty, that was until she chewed, and the tell tale crunch of egg shell made a shudder go up her spine.
Nothing could kill the pleasant taste of a cake like the crack of shell. She paused, and then chewed again, and a whole new shell was cracked…. It seemed like the whole thing was littered with shell. To the point she suspected he had simply put whole eggs into the batter. She glanced up at him, and then forced herself to swallow.
He frowned at her. “What is it?”
Dare she say he messed up? She could handle too many eggs, runny icing… But to have every bite full of egg shell? She could not eat this. Not even if she was starving would she be able to eat this.
“It's crunchy…” She was all she said, forcing herself to take another bite, this time making sure not to chew at all and just move the cake around in her mouth. It was much better then, and she swallowed. “But still very tasty.”
