Note: The idea for this scenario is that there should be no words, since is centered on Carrot's character, I think is fun to instead use Pictures in place, like this is not entirely "silent" and dialogs would be done with graphics.
Scene 1: Preparation for Carrot's Birthday, first guest.
Panel 1: Pepper,s cottage can be seen from a few meters away while She is putting some Birthday decorations on a table just on the side of her home (on the yard) in what it looks like a nice sunny day.

The End.
Post-Notes: Another idea it came to my mind was to have a ghost-like heads of the pets in top of the self-ingredients instead of only their eyes/mouth on the actual ingredient package, I also thought about doing their heads in a speach bubble as in "thinking" yet I think that one may be too introusive or bussy.
Also the ideas for the images in the speech bubbles is that they supposed to be way more simple than the regular comic, for instance Carrot's would be a much simplyfied version of itself, like dot eyes instead of the full eye with the pupil. etc. Making the images look very cartooninsh. and separate them from the actual comic style.
