"Bumlets what are you stopping fer?"

Bumlets had paused from selling his papers. His attention was now focused on something completely different.

"That….that shop…." He pointed at it and then looked to Dutchy. "Has that always been there?"

There was a small hole in the wall shop that looked dirty and beat up. It looked very dark and drabby. On the wall though, it had the title of the shop in grimy gold letters. "Madame Vixens Wonder Shop."

Dutchy shrugged. "probably, it doesn't look new."

Bumlets had walked past this shop practically everyday that he sold newspapers, but for some reason he was being drawn to it today.

Bumlets bit his lip. "Lets go in." he smiled.

Dutchy let out a groan. "C'mon it's poker night and I still have twenty papes to sell!"

"It'll only take a second."

Bumlets, followed by a reluctant Dutchy went into Madame Vixens Wonder Shop.

"Woah look at this stuff." Bumlets said whispering.

He leaned in and looked closely at a dusty shelf which held candles and incense.

"Hey Bumlets, what are tarot cards?" Dutchy said loudly from the other end of the shop.

Before Bumlets could answer a girl appeared from behind a beaded curtain.

"They tell the future." She said quietly. She had a mysterious smirk.

The short girl had a pale face with hazel eyes. She was wearing a black flowy skirt and a baggy black blouse. A scarf hid most of her hair, but a few of the burgundy pieces stuck out.

Bumlets looked at her with curious eyes. He was intrigued by her.

"I can tell your fortune for a penny." She said quietly.

Dutchy scoffed. "I don't believe in that mumbo jumbo."

The girl turned red. Bumlets glared at Dutchy.

"Youse have to excuse my friend. He's lost his manners…actually, I don't think he ever had any."

"I do too have manners!" he said rolling his eyes a little and then shooting a glare at Bumlets.

"I'm Bumlets." He said to the girl smiling.

"Zodiac." She nodded.

Bumlets sighed. "Well I for one think all of this stuff is interesting."

"You do?" she said a little surprised.

Bumlets nodded.

Zodiac smiled. "You know Bumlets, you have a very positive aura."

Dutchy walked up to the counter, next to Bumlets. "Bumlets…she's looking at your aura…you shouldn't leave it out." He whispered harshly to his friend.

Bumlets looked from Dutchy to zodiac with a furrowed brow.

"Excuse me. But I've got a positive what?"

Zodiac laughed softly.

"Aura. You seem to be a good person." She smiled.

Bumlets blushed a little. Suddenly he got an idea.

"Say Zodiac…. Do you dance?"
