Molly paced behind a rusted dumpster, her finger tracing a crumpled map of the suburban backyard. “Alright, the party starts at three. We hit it right when the cake comes out—perfect distraction.” Bill, sprawled on a nearby crate, didn’t look up from his sandwich. “Distraction? What if the kids just scream louder than the cake?” “They’re five years old. They scream regardless.” Molly unfolded the map, pointing to a window. “Entry through the kitchen. Minimal guards, maximum frosting.” Bill chewed slowly. “Or we could just dress as caterers. You know, aprons, fake mustaches—” “Bill. We’re thieves, not *Waitress!* rejects.” She yanked a cardboard sign from her coat: *FREE HUGS HERE*. “We blend in. Kids love free hugs. Parents? Less so.” He snorted. “You’re overthinking this. Just waltz in, grab the presents, waltz out.” “Waltz?” She brandished a toy lightsaber. “More like a stealthy ninja fox. Quiet, sly, and slightly terrifying.” “Right. So, ninja fox. What about the dog?” “The dog’s named Mr. Wiggles. He’s a gentlewoof.” She flipped to another page. “Security camera in the gift table corner. We disable it with this.” She produced a rubber duck. “Bill, meet Donald Duck.” “That’s a squeaky toy.” “Exactly. Distract the camera with its existential crisis.” He rolled his eyes. “You’re losing it.” “No, I’m *planning*.” She tapped the map. “We move at 3:15. You take the left, I’ll sweep the right. When we reach the presents, we grab the big red box labeled *Huge Surprise*—that’s the jackpot.” “And if someone catches us?” “Then we improvise.” She smirked. “Like when I once convinced a security guard I was auditioning for *Cats*.” “You were wearing a cat costume.” “Details.” Bill finally swallowed his sandwich. “What’s the exit strategy?” “Van’s parked two blocks away. I’ll drive, you… uh… *supervise*.” “Supervise?” “Keep an eye on the loot. And maybe the kids. Don’t want them crying.” “Right. Because nothing says ‘successful heist’ like a toddler’s tears.” “They’re *children’s* tears. More… *acrid*.” Molly grinned. “Now, rehearsal time.” “Are we rehearsing *what*? Sneaking into a party?” “Yes. With enthusiasm.” She struck a pose. “On three. One—” “Two—” “THREE!” They lunged forward, colliding with a dumpster. Bill groaned. “We’re gonna die.” “No we’re not.” She adjusted her fake mustache. “We’re *ninja foxes*.” “Molly.” “Shhh. The cake hasn’t even come out yet.” They stared at the suburban house, its windows glowing with laughter and the scent of vanilla. Bill sighed. “We’re stealing presents from *kids*.” “Yes. Revolutionary behavior.” She saluted. “Let’s go make history.” And with that, they tiptoed toward the yard, where a kazoo serenade echoed from the backyard—perfect timing.
