Molly peeked around the cardboard box fort in their hideout, twirling a lockpick like a tiny baton. "Bill, this children's party is the jackpot. Balloons, cake, and mountains of presents just begging for a heist. We waltz in as clowns, bag the loot, and boom—retired by noon." Bill adjusted his fake mustache, nearly poking out an eye. "Clowns? Molly, last time I wore rubber shoes I slipped into a fountain. How do we even get past the parents without looking like rejects from a circus flea market?" "Simple," Molly said, bouncing on her toes. "You distract the birthday kid with balloon animals that look like crumpled socks. I sneak the gifts into that giant sack labeled 'extra piñata filler.' Nobody questions a clown carrying a sack at a kid party." "It could backfire," Bill muttered, sketching a crude map on a napkin. "What if the parents are secret ninjas? Or the cake has security frosting? We need exit routes. Window near the bathroom? Or under the tablecloth like sneaky weasels?" Molly laughed, snatching the napkin. "Weasels? Bill, think bigger. We pretend the presents are defective—too many batteries not included—and 'return' them to our van. Comedy gold. The kids will cheer us as heroes while we drive off laughing." He scratched his chin. "Okay, but timing. Party starts at two. We crash at dessert when sugar crashes everyone into naps. You know my sugar rush makes me juggle badly. Last heist I dropped the jewels and they rolled into a sewer." "That's why you're backup juggler," Molly replied, packing a red nose. "I'll handle the main act: 'Abracadabra, presents vanish for magic nap time!' Then we spider-crawl out the back door. Instant classic heist." Bill paced, stilting his steps like a mime. "Spider-crawl? My knees creak louder than party noisemakers. Better idea: we pose as delivery guys bringing more gifts, then 'accidentally' take all of them back for wrapping paper shortages. Parents will thank us." "Delivery guys at a kids party?" Molly snorted. "Too bland. Stick with clowns. We paint teardrops and claim the presents are sad without us. Emotional theft. Pure comedy." "Fine, clowns it is," Bill said, practicing a honk with a rubber horn. "But if a kid cries for my mustache, I'm out. Stealing presents from tiny humans feels slimy. What if we leave one gift? A consolation sock puppet?" Molly waved him off. "No sock puppets. All or nothing. These loot bags fund our next adventure—robbing a mime festival. Imagine silent sandwiches forever. Focus: enter, distract with pie-face routines, load sack, exit laughing. Easy." Bill sighed, check-listing their tools. "Poppers for smoke cover, a fake wand that squirts water, and rope that turns into streamers. Perfect getaway props. Just don't let me near the punch bowl. One sip and I confess everything in song." "Deal," Molly grinned, grabbing her oversized shoes. "We train tonight: me tripping you for laughs, you fake-crying over lost balloons. By party time, we'll own that backyard. Presents ours, guilt free as pie." "Guilt free?" Bill echoed, testing the streamer rope. "Molly, kids wake up giftless. Their faces crumple worse than my balloon dogs. Maybe we swap the presents with joke gifts—whoopee cushions and rubber chickens. Still steal the real ones, but leave smiles." Molly paused, nodding slowly. "Rubber chickens... Inspired. They'll think it's part of the fun. Double comedy heist. Parents apologize for the 'mix-up' and we vanish with the haul. Bill, you're a thief genius sometimes." He beamed under the mustache. "Only sometimes. Let's grab the pink bags that say 'Party Time!' Nobody stops a clown duo loading mysterious pink bags. Meet at the van at one-thirty. Horns honking, shoes flapping, destiny calling." "To destiny and rubber chickens," Molly declared, sealing their pact with a slap of gloves. They laughed, scheming onward into the afternoon light, ready for the silliest steal yet.
