A party!

All she has to do is:

-get ingredients for a cake
-try to get Opal Egg to lay an egg
-invite guests
-come on, Opal Egg! How hard is it to lay an egg? You're a chicken!
-bake the cake
-Give Willa the best first birthday party ever!

But, in typical Starla Jean fashion, a few surprises are waiting to derail the determined girl... but could they be...good surprises?
