Molly burst through the door, her trench coat bulging with what looked suspiciously like children’s toys. Bill looked up from the blueprints he’d been frantically scribbling on a napkin. “We’re out of time,” Molly said, dropping a glitter bomb on the table. It exploded in a cloud of rainbow confetti. “The party starts in twenty minutes, and the presents are in the magic wardrobe. We need a distraction, a plan, and—” “A plan that doesn’t involve glitter?” Bill adjusted his glasses, which were comically too big for his face. “Because I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” “Relax, Bill. I’ve got this.” Molly unrolled a map of the venue, which looked like it had been drawn by a toddler. “First, we sneak in through the snack table. You’re small—” “I’m not small.” “You’re *tiny*. Perfect for squeezing under the cake display.” She grinned. “Then we head to the wardrobe. I’ve got a fake mustache and a borrowed unicorn onesie. Disguise level: expert.” Bill narrowed his eyes. “And the guards?” “There are no guards. Just Karen from the PTA and her screaming toddler. Easy.” “Karen has a *taser*,” Bill pointed out. “Then we distract her with a piñata.” Molly pulled out a banana. “See? We’ll hit it with this. She’ll be too busy yelling ‘¡No es un plátano!’ to notice us.” Bill sighed. “What if the toddler sees us?” “We bribe him with a stolen lollipop. Kids are soft-hearted.” “And the door? What if it locks?” Molly rolled her eyes. “We’ll break the window. I’ve got a slingshot and a bag of marbles.” “A *bag of marbles*? That’s your master plan?” “It’s *strategic*. Marbles cause chaos, chaos causes panic, panic causes doors to swing open.” She struck a dramatic pose. “We’re like… the Three Stooges, but with more glitter.” Bill scribbled furiously on the napkin. “What about the loot? How do we carry all the presents?” “We don’t. We stuff them into the trash bins outside. No one will suspect a thing.” “And if they ask where the presents went?” Molly smirked. “We blame the raccoons. Everyone believes in raccoons.” Just then, the door creaked open. A voice called, “Molly? Bill? You in there?” They froze. “Uh… hey, Mrs. Henderson,” Molly said, her voice unnaturally high. The door swung wider. A frail woman with a clipboard stepped in, followed by a toddler clutching a rubber duck. “Everything okay in there?” “Perfect!” Molly chirped, holding up the banana like a scepter. “Just… uh… conducting a… *science experiment*.” The toddler squinted. “You look like a lady.” “And you,” Molly said, nodding at the rubber duck, “look like a very serious duck.” Mrs. Henderson raised an eyebrow. “That’s my therapy duck, Timothy. And I *saw* you through the window, Molly. What’s in the trash bins?” Bill panicked, grabbing a nearby cake table and pretending to adjust it. “Uh… evidence? For… science?” “Molly, if you stole from a birthday party—” “Would I steal from a *birthday party*? Of course not!” She gestured wildly, accidentally flinging the banana into the air. It landed in Timothy’s mouth with a squelch. The toddler giggled. “Timothy eats bananas!” Mrs. Henderson blinked. “Well… carry on, then.” She left, shaking her head. Bill exhaled. “That was close.” “Told you raccoons were smarter,” Molly said, pocketing the banana. “We’re not raccoons.” “Exactly.” She struck a new pose. “Now, let’s go steal some presents.”
