Molly leaned back in her creaky office chair, lollipops dangling from her ears like earrings, and spun slowly while reading a flyer for “Toddler Topsy-Turvy Birthday Bash: 50 Ft. Bounce House, 100% Edible Decor, Zero Chaperones.” Bill, meanwhile, paced like a caged weasel, his trainers squeaking against the linoleum of their rat-infested hideout. “So let me get this straight,” he said, clutching a stress ball shaped like a frowny alien. “We’re breaking into a *kids’ birthday party*? The target is *presents*? Like, wrapped in *dinosaur diapers*? What if they have *adults*?” “They’ll be busy chugging punch and debating whether ‘Baby Shark’ is a lullaby or a war cry,” Molly said, not looking up. “Besides, it’s the *presents* we want. Think of it like a mall heist, but with more glitter and less sad Santas.” Bill froze. “You’re comparing this to a *mall heist*. What if we get *recognized*?” “We’ll wear costumes. The party’s theme is ‘Magical Forest Adventure.’ There’s a *mascot*, Bill. We’ll be the *ones* in the mascot suits. Easy in, easy out.” Bill gaped. “A *mascot*? You mean that… that *seven-foot unicorn* they hired? What if I suffocate? What if I accidentally inhale a balloon? I’ve read about people *dying*, Molly!” “Relax,” Molly said, tossing him a lollipop. “The real unicorn’s taking a lunch break at 3 PM. We’ll swap in, collect the loot, and vanish before the cake toss. Simple.” Bill sucked on the candy, his face twitching. “And the *security*? What if they scan the presents? What if they have *tracking devices*? What if they’ve got a *clueless toddler* who sees us and screams, ‘MOMMY, THOSE UNICORNS ARE STEALING MY STUFF!’?” Molly blinked. “First off, tracking devices in *kids’ toys*? That’s *creepy*. Second, if a kid shouts, we’ll just… *hum the party anthem*.” She whistled a jaunty tune. “‘Rainbow Rump-Rozzie-Roo!’ It’s a lullaby. Everyone zones out.” Bill hyperventilated into the stress ball. “And the *loot*? We can’t exactly waltz out of a bounce house wearing a *pony suit* full of toys!” “We use the *distraction*. The piñata. We ‘accidentally’ whack it open, chaos ensues, parents charge in with candy-filled jaws, and we slip out the fire exit. Classic.” Bill stared. “You’re telling me we’re going to punch a piñata for *fun*. With *kids*. In a room full of *witnesses*. And you call that *classic*?” Molly smiled. “Bill, I’ve called a lot of things ‘classic.’ Trust me. By 3:15, we’ll be sipping champagne in a *different city*. And by 3:30, we’ll be opening our *new* stockpile of organic sippy cups and board games. Technically, we’re just… *recycling*.” Bill glanced at the unicorn costume in the corner of the room. It looked back. “What if I *pee* in the thing?” “Then we’ll have *double* the loot. Go on,” Molly said, shoving him toward the suit. “Change into Sparkles. The kids will *love* you.” “And if I *don’t*?” Molly’s smile didn’t waver. “Then we’re just two grown adults eating lollipops in a room full of Legos. *That’s* the plan.” Bill groaned. “Fine. But if I die, I want my corpse buried in a *Bender the Alien* stress ball.” “Deal. Now let’s go make some *childish dreams come true*.”
