31 Plays in 31 Days: #30 - "Shower Cake"

[breakinglight11]

This is just some nonsense to finish. I've been two days behind for a week now, and today is the last day.

Day #30 - "Shower Cake"

MARLA, the maid of honor
VERONICA, younger sister of the bride
~~~

(MARLA leads VERONICA into a kitchen.)

MARLA: Everything you need should be right here.

(VERONICA looks through everything.)

VERONICA: Is there a piping bag?

MARLA: Uh, I'm not sure.

VERONICA: Doesn't matter. I can always cut the tip off of a ziplock.

MARLA: Sorry. We're not that serious about baking here.

VERONICA: I should have brought my own.

MARLA: Is something wrong?

VERONICA: Eh.

MARLA: Don't you want to make the cake?

VERONICA: You're asking that now?

MARLA: You just seem kind of pissy.

VERONICA: Well, you were cool just assuming I would be before.

MARLA: Geez, I'm sorry. It's just that Cara said--

VERONICA: Of course. Cara always gets to say.

MARLA: Look, I didn't know it would be a problem.

VERONICA: You didn't ask, did you?

MARLA: Did Cara... do something?

VERONICA: She's been doing stuff our whole lives. Why should I expect any different now that she's getting married and is therefore the center of the universe?

MARLA: Whoa. I... wasn't expecting this, I didn't know.

VERONICA: No reason why you would, I guess. You're her best friend, of course you would be on her side.

MARLA: You want me to say something to her?

VERONICA: It's just a shower cake, whatever.

MARLA: You want me to bring you a piping bag?

(Pause.)

VERONICA: Yeah, maybe.
