Not too shabby

"Ding!" Splortch opened the door on his stomach and removed the cake, setting it on the counter and sucking up frosting with one pseudopod before expertly slathering it over the confection. With at least five arms working in concert, Splortch had the cake decorated in less than five minutes. "That's perhaps the strangest thing I've ever seen you do," Adam said, scratching his head. "It's beautiful Splortch, but..." "But what?" Splortch's face, or what constituted his face, twisted in sad confusion. "How are we supposed to get a two-meter-wide cake through a door that's only three feet wide?" "Uh-oh." Meanwhile... "Ugh, this is taking too long," Arthur said, carrying in a box of decorations. "I told you we should have done this last night. She's going to be here any minute." "I have this covered," Spider said. "Twitch! Action!" Spider grabbed the box and threw the contents into the air as the door slammed open and in a whirlwind of colored streamers and glitter the room was decorated before their eyes. Twitch stopped in front of Spider, saluted, and zoomed out of the room again. "Do you think he knows he's covered in glitter?" Arthur asked. "Meh." Elsewhere... "Come on, Lucy," Garrett said. "I know it's a pain, but everyone has to attend these briefings. Besides, if your boss gives you a hard time about missing work on short notice let me know and I'll take care of it." "I know," Lucy said. "It's just bad enough that my parents had to go out of town on my birthday, and I was actually looking forward to my new job." Garrett smiled and patted Lucy's shoulder. "Don't worry," he told her. "There's always an upside to every bad day." |
