Ansley makes her way to Anne's house, she promised Anne she will try the cake. As she gets to the gate she greets Matthew who is working on the crops. He greats back and she smiles. Making her way to the door she knocks. "ONE SECOND" She heard Marilla yell.

Marilia opens the door and makes way for me inside, "I brought some sour dough bread my Aunt makes if you two would want some" Ansley said handing out the bread pieces to the two girls, "It goes great with chili." Ansley then smiles.

The two girls both taste the bread and their faces go to a pout then to a delicious savory type face. "That is indeed good Ansley, tell your Aunt I said thanks" Marilla responded, swallowing her last bite. Anne nods as she continues cooking her cake.

"Well you can thank her at the festival yourselves. Also if you do not mind me asking, may I go to the festival with you? My parents are still away and my Aunt has a surprise she wants me to see at the festival." Ansley asks, smiling all innocently.

"Oh, I don't see why not dear, your welcome anytime" Marilla giggles and they both continue cooking their respected pastry's. Anne keeps sneezing, trying her best not to sneeze in the batter.

They were all talking until they heard Matthew scream so they all rushing out to see what the big deal is. Until Anne spilt the vanilla. Ansley helped Anne clean up and find more vanilla. They found a bottle with the words 'Best Vanilla' on it so they assumed it was the vanilla they needed.

Ansley and Anne go back to the kitchen and finish the cake. They put it in the oven and wait. While waiting they talk and play a game. Then a timer turns off and it startles them just a bit. Anne opens the oven and takes it out, Marilla tried to help but Anne wants to win on her own merit. Anne begins crying on how perfect it is, she's turning out to becoming like Ruby.

Ansley tries the puffs and says the are delicious as ever to Marilla. Once Ansley tries Anne's cake her face scrunches up and she almost vomits at the taste of it, trying to drown it down with water. "Ansley what's wrong with it?" Anne says with a confused and worried tone.

"It's a bit-" Before Ansley could say more Gilbert walks in. "Hi there" He greats, "Is Matthew home?" He says while taking off his hat by the door. Anne is still in tears and she is shocked as ever, her eyes grew big and she rushed to wiped her eyes of anymore remaining tears. "I was hoping to borrow a pair of cufflinks" He asked. Ansley chuckled at the sight of Anne and Gilbert. They both are so in love with each other but both don't know what they want. "Have you been... Chopping onions?" Gilbert replied seeing Anne crying more.

As Anne began to speak, Matthew walked through the door. Anne rushed away trying to tear apart the tension she is creating herself. Gilbert just looks confused and then looks at Ansley. She shrugs her shoulder in response. Gilbert and Matthew walk into his room and gets the cufflinks. Ansley can't hear what they are saying so she goes and finds Anne.
