Claudia entered the Bakery that she owned and prepared to start the day. Quickly, she gathered the day-old cookies, donoughts, etc and placed them in the Day Old showcase that meant their prices we reduced slightly for a quick sale.
After doing that, she got out her book of Orders and looked them over for any Cakes or cupcakes that needed to be made that day. Once she took mental note of what was needed, Claudia turned the sign from CLOSED to OPEN and made her way back to the kitchen to start baking.

Henry was hungry. Not for a big meal at Granny's, but a snack would tie him over for now. And the bakery would be the perfect place to find something to soothe his hunger.
He entered the shop and started to look at the baked items on display. His mouth almost watered when he saw some of the cupcakes, but he controlled himself. "Hello? Anyone here?"

Hearing a voice out in the main area, Benny was the first to make his way out of the back room. "Hey there, Henry!" the older boy greeted. True, Benny was two years older than the Mayor's adopted son, but all the same they went to the one and only school in town so they encountered on another at rescess. "What you up to?"
Benny also felt the ten-year-old seemed older than his age so the two got along pretty well.

"Hi Benny!" Henry smiled at his friend. "Not much. I'm just stopping by for a snack. What's been happening lately?"

Ava was passing by the bakery when she noticed Henry through the window of the store. She stopped in her steps and pondered what she should do. To keep her cool she hurriedly made an excuse about her father before she walked through the door. Acting as if she had not seen Henry in the first place, she walked up to the counter. Without making any other sounds she pretended to eye the menu and the items on display.

Benny gave a shrug. "Not too much I suppose. Been working in Mr. Gold's shop Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays." He then shrugged. "But other than that, not too much." Benny looked to the door as another entered the shop. "Hey there Ava!" he greeted. He then turned back to the kitchen. "Mom! You have customers!"
"What will you two be wanting? I can help you out until Mom comes out here."

Henry blinked on the arrival of the blonde girl. True, she was a few years older than him, but so was Benny. Why was it around Ava he started to feel... almost quiet?
"... h-hi, Ava," Henry greeted quickly before turning back to the selection of baked goods. "Um... what cupcakes are the best around here?"

"Well, Mom decorates some chocolate frosted ones that with yellow spun sugar and it looks like small piles of straw" Benny told Henry. "Or at least I think they do."
"He calls them, The Goldspinner's Special!" came a female voice then. "My son and his imagination."

"Hey Benny, hey Henry." She gave a small smile before shrugging her shoulders, "Well I originally came just for some garlic bread, but those cupcakes sure do look good."

The Goldspinner's Special. Henry had to smile at that. They had no idea that they were really the Miller's Daughter and her son from the fairytale... But he didn't blame them for it. It was the Curse. "Awesome! I'll have two!" The boy paused before he quickly added, "One for me, one for Ava."

Ava looked over at Henry. He was being nice to her again, and it made her feel funny. She secretly wished she had her dad's compass to fiddle with. It made her feel better when she was nervous. "You really don't have to, I-I can get it myself."

"Well, aren't you the gentleman, Henry?" Claudia said with a gentle smile, getting two of the Day-olds from their shelves. "It's good to see Benny is friends with you. Lord knows it could be worse." She set the cupcakes on the counter as Benny gave a pre-teen "Mo-om!"

"No really, it's okay," Henry said to Ava. "I have some extra money. Y-You can go ahead and buy the garlic bread yourself." There were those funny feelings again. Why... was it only Ava that activated them?
"Oh! Thanks," he said, fishing out some money to pay for the cupcakes. "Should this cover it?"

Seeing that Henry was not going to give her much of a choice, she went ahead and pulled out some money for the garlic bread. "Thanks Henry." Ava found herself grinning at him and she wondered if it was from taking pride in his stubbornness. She diverted her attention back to the counter and waited for her turn to pay.

"That should be plenty, Henry. Thank you." Claudia turned to Ava then. "There's some garlic bread finishing up right now" she said with a wink. "Benny, get Ava change if she needs any and get the bread sack ready." With that, Claudia Miller made her way back to the kitchen.
Benny shook his head as he made Ava's change. "You'd never guess my mom did all this herself, would you?"
