A Birthday Party for Molly

[Guu]

The air was was thick with joy, as the residents of Ambrosia took to the streets. They frequented the booths which were doing the best business of their entire time in the city. Lines formed around the block for each of the attractions, the rollercoaster pretty much ran constantly, and they had to bring in a second cart to mitigate some of the growing crowd. Even the bounce mansion had to create a line and even set time limits to some of the guests as they were dangerously close to reaching the load limit. You don’t want to see a balloon animal when they are upset.

Guu decided to try the stalls first. Aromas wafted from every which direction, which didn’t matter to the princess as she lacked a nose. One location did catch her eye though.

It was a stall barely slapped together out of cardboard reading “Glam Burgers.” A strange orange cat person was manning the front as he flipped glitter covered patties on a grill.

As the pink one approached, he immediately noticed her. She was a spitting image from all the photos and t-shirts he had seen. As she reached the front of his stall, he took a deep breath and faced the princess.

“Greetings your highness, would you like a Glam Burger? On the the house...” He nearly kicked himself for offering it for free when he was on the ropes money-wise to begin with, but then again if he could get her to eat one of his burgers, he’d be set for advertising.

“Actually, I don’t eat meat.” She said, bluntly.

“Oh, I swear, there is no meat product in these!” He tried to reason, desperately.

“Actually, I don’t eat food.” She replied bluntly.

“Oh, well, I swear there isn’t any food in this either!”

“I don’t want the burger.” Blunt as ever.

“Then what do you want?” He cried out, his frustrations now clear.

Then Guu took out a laser pointer and aimed it behind him. His expression was incredulous.

“Excuse me, I maybe a cat monster, but I have restraint and respect for-”

Mid-statement he leapt after the laser pointer, clawing at the wall behind him.

Smiling, Guu put the pointer away, left a tip and walked away. The cat straighten himself, wiping away a bead of sweat on his forehead. He regained his spot behind the counter and sighed before flipping another burger.
