Rodney was a big fan of afternoon walks in the palace gardens.

The palace bakery set out fresh cupcakes every day at noontime, so the scent of fresh cupcakes filled the air.

Rodney started to get a little tired, so he thought he’d test one of the lime iced cupcakes to see if he could sit down on it..

Still a little soft..

Oh but this one.. This one was perfect. Rodney didnt know whether to sit on it or eat it, it looked so good.

Before he could snatch up the cupcake- Rodney noticed something move. Something far off in the distance. What was that?

It was Colossus,neverbashfulwithbutter.comhttp://www.neverbashfulwithbutter.com Guardian of the cupcakes.

Colossus hated it when other robots tried to take HIS cupcakes. Rodney picked the wrong one. Colossus wanted the same cupcake as Rodney.

Rodney didnt know what to do. He’d never seen such a monstrous robot as Colossus. He was frightened. Too frightened to move even.

Before Rodney could react, Colossus picked up the cupcake and held it high above where Rodney could reach.

“Oh No” thought Rodney. “What do I do now? I really wanted that cupcake.”
He didnt know whether or not to run off or stay and fight for his cupcake…

Sooner than later, Rodney made his decision. He would stay and do what he had to do to get back his cupcake. He saw it first!

He climbed mighty Colossus’ arm. Dangling high above the soft comforting ground, where all the other cupcakes sat, Rodney held on tight and tried as hard as he could to reach the cupcake.

But Colossus was strong. He shook Rodney off his arm.

After falling, Rodney had no choice but to regroup. Something must be done about this cupcake thief. Someone must do something!

…But alas, Colossus was just TOO big. Rodney couldnt do anything from where he stood..

Or could he? Rodney pondered his next move.

Aha!  I’ll bribe him with another cupcake. A more DELICIOUS cupcake. A lime cupcake with Strawberry icing! That’ll get him.

So Rodney got to pushing…

..And he pushed some more…

Finally he managed to get the cupcake infront of Colossus, where he could see it.

“whats this?” Said Colossus aloud, setting down the cupcake that once had perched high above Rodney’s clutches.

“Is this… a gift?” asked Colossus- “For me?”

The kind gesture melted Colossus’ cold heart. If Robots could cry, a small robotic tear would have fallen from his little metallic eyes.

And indeed, it was a tasty cupcake.

The last thing on Colossus’ mind was that other cupcake. No, he had this cupcake in mind. He gorged himself upon the cupcake.

He offered some to Rodney…

But Rodney said “if you dont mind, Colossus, I’ll just take this one.”

And so off he went, with his delicious cupcake in his clutches.

Rodney did not look back, he did not want to see Colossus change his mind. No, this cupcake belonged to him. To Rodney.

As soon as he was out of the woods, with his back turned towards the palace gardens, Rodney looked down upon his prize. Yes, this cupcake was his prize, for he had won it fair and square.

Grasping handfuls of the flavourful icing, Rodney inhaled the crisp aroma of fresh cupcakes. Fresh lime icing.. Delicious sweet cupcakes fresh from the palace bakery, only enhanced by the hard work it took to free the cupcake from the clutches of the giant robot Colossus…

As he went in for a bite, he had no thought of anything other than the heaven he held in his hands..

He thought nothing of the king… the true owner of the cupcake…

Oh no Rodney.. DONT EAT THAT CUPCAKE!  LOOK BEHIND YOU!
