My Land, My Rules

Lana made sure to show up on time, since she was bringing the cake. It was a vegan chocolate cake she'd been assured would be delicious, with raspberry filling between the layers. She had regular and vegan vanilla ice creams to go with it. On top of the frosting, it said "Happy Birthday, Nell!" amidst creeping vines that also held two and two-eighths candles. (Lana had absolutely measured them.) Floating along behind her was a potted tree, black with glowing red spikes on top.

She put the cake on the table and the ice cream in the freezer, and looked around for somewhere to leave the plant.
