Molly rolled the fake mustache across the hood of their rusted van, checking the mirrors, the tire pressure, and the tiny sign that read expert party guests while the moon hid behind a fat cloud. Bill waited by the cake, polishing a spoon with care because it might open them. "Bill, the target is a birthday party for a girl named Daisy, six presents under one tree, and the house is protected only by a talking golden retriever, three cousins, and a parent who trusts every suspicious stranger who wears a hat tonight, if we act before cake now, fool." The street lamp flickered over the lawn, making the plastic flamingo look like a small angry god, and a wind carried the scent of cupcakes, bubblegum, and something suspiciously like motor oil near the garage. Bill coughed, then pretended to admire the moon because he missed the dark and rain. "Molly, I dislike children, their snacks, their shrieking, and their ability to see my fake mustache as a suspicious gray smear, yet the presents are wrapped in shiny paper, which means they will fit perfectly in our van without wrinkling, so stop fussing and smile before puppy bites us now." Outside, the party decorations swayed gently, including paper chains, a banner that promised fun for all, and a table of juice boxes arranged like a tiny colorful army waiting for its inevitable battle. Molly smoothed her party hat and counted presents, her shadow stretching across carpet before the cake arrived. "I will carry the gift bag disguised as a party favor sack, you will distract the adults by asking for extra napkins, and the dog will receive a very loud squeaky bone that we bought from a man who smelled of tuna and maybe a hat for good luck please." The parents were in the kitchen arguing about napkin colors, while the golden retriever sniffed the shoe Bill wore with the intense devotion of a detective examining a suspect who had already confessed to chewing a slipper. Molly whispered a number from the plan, and Bill nodded quickly toward window. "If the parents ask where we are going, I will say we are going to the moon, because I once wore a silver jumpsuit at a dance and felt more dignified than I feel wearing this clown nose. It is very important to keep your eyes on the presents always." A tiny hand pressed a glitter sticker on the coat Molly wore, leaving a rainbow star near her shoulder, and the children began a song about a turtle, which made Bill tap his foot like a man trying to escape a dance floor. The presents glowed under the tree waiting. "Remember, we are not stealing, we are acquiring unwrapped possibility from emotionally unstable children who have already forgotten what they wanted for breakfast, and once the presents are in the van, we will be legends before dessert. Bill, your tie is crooked, but your greed is magnificent now, go now."
