Grace Stirs Up Success Page #2

I'm sorry, honey.

But with Aunt Sophie

stuck at home,

Uncle Bernard really needs an

extra set of hands in their ptisserie.

That's french for bakery.

Imagine how much fun it would be

to be with a master pastry chef.

It does sound pretty great.

But, Maddy and Ella are going to be

so bombed we can't do our business.

Paris.

That's amazing.

Why do you look so bombed?

Because, bombed that we won't be

able to earn money for new bikes.

Why can't we?

You guys don't know

how to bake.

So, we'll do something else.

Like...

Dog walking.

I'm pretty good

at wrangling dogs.

- What do you think, Ella?

- Oh my gosh, yeah!

Well.

I mean.

Of course

it wouldn't be as much fun

without you, Grace.

You know that.

But, I'm the organized one

who does the research.

How are you guys going to

run things without me?

Holdup.

What're you saying?

Not-Nothing.

I didn't mean...

You think we can't

handle it on our own.

- I didn't say that.

- You didn't say it.

- But I think you meant it.

- You're taking this all wrong.

Yeah. Because everything we do is wrong

unless Miss Perfect is in charged.

Wait. Now, Maddy.

Maybe she didn't...

Didn't what? Think we'll be

totally lost without her?

I think we're gonna be just fine

this summer, without her help.

Guys.

Wait, guys.

- It's alright, Grace.

- It's fine.

Have fun in Paris.

I wish we could go.

Please send us lots of pictures

of our new grandbaby, okay.

I will.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye bye.

Grandma and I have

a surprise for you.

Grandma gave me a charm bracelet

on my first big trip, and we thought...

You should have

one of your own.

You can get some charms in France

and bring back memories.

Thank you.

I love it.

Guess we're all set.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye bye.

Good bye, Grace.

Welcome to Paris.

Quickly, they arrived.

Quick

- Hello.

- Bernard.

So glad you're here.

Bonjour.

- How's Sophie?

- Upstairs.

And she's, how you say,

bored out of her mind.

- Oh. That sounds like my little sister

- Yeah.

And this is Grace.

Grace, this is your uncle Bernard.

- Hello, Grace. Hello.

- Hello.

Hi.

Grace, I want you to meet

your cousin. Sylvie.

I think you 2 will have a lot

of fun this summer. Huh.

- Bonjour.

- Bonjour, Grace.

I am screaming to meet you.

I think you're

trying to say that.

- You are happy to meet her, no?

- Yes.

Why?

What did I say?

You said that

you're screaming to meet her.

As you, American say,

"No biggie". Right?

No biggie.

Okay, let's go.

Sophie.

Ha-ha-ha.

Ah!

Oh, Karen.

Look at you.

- Oh, my little sis.

- You look gorgeous.

Grace!

- I miss you.

- You too.

Thank you so much for

coming to help.

Hey, Grandma and Grandma said

you're becoming quite the baker.

Well. I learn everything

I know from them.

Me too.

Hey. Is the oven still on the fritz?

- On the fritz, yes.

- Oh.

They had the same equipment

since they opened that place.

Well, you're in for quite a treat

at the ptisserie then.

I can't wait.

When can I start.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.

We work tomorrow, huh.

But for now,

we relax and get settle.

- Yeah, okay.

- Sylvie.

Would you like to show

your cousin to you room?

Oui, Papa.

I sleep.

You sleep.

Great.

Thanks.

So.

Are you excited about

getting your baby sister?

Baby sister?

Je Ne comprends pas.

Okay...

Mom. I need the other adapter

to charge my iPad.

It's in my purse, sweetheart.

- Did you find it?

- Yeah, I got it.

So.

How're you feeling about today?

Awesome.

I can't wait to help out

at the ptisserie.

And, Uncle Bernard

seems really nice.

Hello.

You're a cute little thing.

Come here.

Come here, doggie.

Come here.

Huh?

Why won't it come?

Well, that's a french bulldog.

Probably doesn't speak English.

Then again, maybe it does.

Okay. We're on Rue de Lappe.

So.

If my estimates are right

The ptisserie should be...

- There it is.

- Oh. Alright.

Woww.

Oh, my goodness.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

I seriously want everything

in that case, right now.

You have to fight me

for it first.

Oh, hello.

- Hello, hi.

- Hi.

How are you?

Welcome.

- Hello, Grace.

- Hello.

Come.

Come with me.

So.

How do you like my little place.

- Wow.

- It's incredible.

The pastries.

The cakes. The smell.

It's like I've step

inside an eclair.

I see.

Grace, I'm glad you're here.

- Sylvie, come here.

- Sylvie, you're here.

She will show you

the kitchen now.

Come, please.

Wow.

Look at this mixer.

- Pretty great, no?

- Yeah.

Colette, this is my cousin, Miss Grace.

Oh.

Nice to meet you, Grace.

I'm Colette.

Bernard ptisserie's intern.

Great to meet you too.

- So. What're you making?

- Tarte Tatin.

Aww.

Can I help?

You know tarte Tatin.

Not exactly.

But...

it looks just like a

pineapple upside down cake.

Bake, flip and voil!

Tarte Tatin upside down cake.

Right?

Yes. It sounds much the same.

But.

Mr Bernard is particular and...

- I'm not sure if he would want...

- I totally get it. But...

Don't worry. I love to have things

done the right way too.

And beside. I really want to show

Uncle Bernard how much I can help.

That's why I'm here.

Right?

Mm-Hmm.

No.

No, but...

You haven't even tasted it.

I do not need to taste.

At least just

take a little bite.

Please?

Okay.

Hmm.

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

No.

But.

I made it the same way I made

my pineapple upside down cake.

And everyone loves my

pineapple upside down cake.

No.

Not everyone.

Listen to me, Grace.

Your cake, too dry.

The sugar, too much.

And the apples too saggy.

Is this the Tarte Tatin

you made, Colette?

Oui, Mr Bernard.

Taste Colette's.

It's...

pretty good.

I guess.

It is a perfect balance

of heavy and light.

Not what your

Tatin taste like.

In my bakery,

we must strive

for perfection at all times.

I understand.

But.

Don't worry, Grace.

French's standards of

baking are very high.

Not everyone can master them.

But, I still need your help.

Could you please refill

the napkin holder out front.

- Napkins?

- Mm-Hm.

What if I help roll

tarte crust doughs,I mean...

It's as easy as pie.

Oh.

OH...

I'm so... sorry.

I guess.

I'll go...

...refill the napkin holders.

It would be nice.

Thank you.

And I don't see why they say

a pie in the face is funny.

It isn't funny at all.

Oh, honey. I'm sure Uncle Bernard

knew it was an accident.

- My whole day was an accident.

- Oh.

If I'm not good enough

to help in his bakery,

then how would I ever be good

enough to run my own bakery.

Hey.

Do you know how Julia Child is the

most famous female chef in the world?

Yeah.

Everyone knows that.

But, did you know that when

she first enrolled in the Cordon Bleu

that she was put

in the housewives class?

She showed everyone

how skilled she was

and finally they had

to take her seriously.

I know you wanted to show Bernard

what you could do, but...

Maybe, you could look

for ways to help him.

If you do that.

He'll see what you're capable of.

Thanks, Mom.

Your right.
