* DramaticIrony: Duchess, while Ribby is out, puts her ham pie into Ribby's top oven, intending to get rid of the mouse pie. When, in looking for the mouse pie, she tries the door of the bottom oven, it sticks, and then Duchess, hearing Ribby coming back, flees the house before she can keep searching. Later, at the party, Duchess [[FailedASpotCheck doesn't see ''which'' oven Ribby takes the pie out of]]. The whole story runs on Dramatic Irony, due to both characters thinking their two different pies are the same pie.

Ribby (a cat) invites her friend Duchess (a dog) over for a party, promising to bake a delicious meat pie. Worried that Ribby's pie will turn out to be made of mouse-meat, Duchess notices that she and Ribby have identical pie-plates, so she devises a plan: while Ribby is out shopping for party supplies, Duchess will sneak into her house, take the mouse pie out of the oven, and replace it with a ham pie that Duchess herself made. She'll hide the mouse pie somewhere, and Ribby will be none the wiser. [[ASimplePlan What could possibly go wrong?]]
