Rain drummed on the van roof while Molly spread the party map across the dashboard. "We need a plan that does not involve clowns again." Bill groaned and pulled his striped hat lower over his eyes. "Clowns were your idea and you still owe me pants." Molly tapped the list of gifts with a plastic party horn. "Focus Bill we are stealing birthday presents from children." Bill shifted uncomfortably in the cramped front seat. "I feel terrible but those kids get way too many toys." Molly grinned and circled the house with a red marker. "Exactly one kid cannot need forty boxes of plastic junk." Bill leaned closer squinting at the sketch of balloons and tables. "So we walk in pretending to be the magic show helpers?" Molly folded the cape and tossed it onto his lap. "Yes you wear the cape and I will carry the empty cake box." Bill held up the shiny fabric like it might bite him. "Why am I always the one wearing embarrassing costumes?" Molly laughed loudly and pointed at his worried face. "Because you have trustworthy eyebrows and I do not." Bill brightened at the thought of bouncing high above everyone. "Fine but if there is a bouncy castle I get a turn." Molly nodded firmly while braiding colorful wristbands for disguise. "Deal just remember to smile and steal everything shiny." Bill scratched his head and stared at arriving minivans. "What about the parents will they not notice two adults grabbing gifts?" Molly mimed lifting boxes with an innocent helpful smile. "We say we are moving presents to a safer party room." Bill imagined squeaky wheels rolling quietly toward their waiting van. "Brilliant and then we wheel them out in the wagon?" Molly practiced her sweetest birthday song voice softly. "Exactly and we sing happy birthday so nobody gets suspicious." Bill grabbed two juice boxes and tossed them in circles. "I cannot sing but I can juggle juice boxes pretty well." Molly peeked at the side gate and measured the escape path. "Perfect distraction while I stack the loot by the back door." Bill rubbed his hands together thinking about shiny new gadgets. "Do we keep the good toys or sell them all online?" Molly zipped the duffel bag and winked conspiratorially. "We keep one each for trouble and sell the rest fast." Bill clapped excitedly then tried to look professional again. "I want the dinosaur that roars and lights up please." Molly tossed him the heavy backpack to test his strength. "Okay but only if you carry the heavy bag without whining." Bill slung the strap over his shoulder with exaggerated confidence. "I promise no whining unless we run into clowns again." Molly started the engine as music drifted from down the street. "Agreed no clowns no cops and no crying birthday boy." Bill checked the rearview mirror and adjusted his fake mustache. "Let us steal some joy before the cake melts." They bumped fists and rolled toward the chaos of streamers.
