animorphs cassie/jake, something involving homemade gifts maybe? only if you want of course!
Jake never knew what to get Cassie for her birthday. He asked Rachel for advice, and she’d suggested a new pair of Timberlands, which Cassie would love but would cost Jake all of his allowance for the year, and he already spent enough of that on spare clothes to stash around town for when he needed them after a morph.
So he came over to her house and said, “I know how to cook one thing. But I promise it’s good.”
He’d only ever done it with his parents. By himself, it took three and a half hours. But that gave Cassie just enough time to do all of her chores and homework, and when she came down to the kitchen table, there was a plate of latkes with applesauce waiting for her. Jake sat down with his plate across from her, his hands wrinkly from washing all the potatoes. “Happy birthday, Cassie.”
