Cindy and Jimmy kept shooting each other glances and laughing as they headed towards the food court. "You know, Vortex, I guess I can't call you a dumb blonde anymore," Jimmy said while stretching out his left hand.

Cindy smiled. "And I guess your new look doesn't justify me calling you Captain Cranium. Your head looks perfectly proportionate to the rest of your body," Cindy said while grabbing his hand.

Jimmy suddenly stopped as he stared into the window of a store. "What?" asked Cindy.

That just might be crazy enough to work. He turned around and smiled at Cindy. "Would I look good with my ear pierced?"

Cindy responded by walking away. "It's the new millennium! Everyone's doing it!" Jimmy shouted while looking again at the window. He sighed and ran after her.

They both smiled as they sniffed the air. Scents of freshly baked bagels, toasted Belgium waffles, and donuts just pulled from the oven overwhelmed them. Jimmy took a step toward the counter of goods, but Cindy grabbed his arm.

"Um, how much money do you have?"

Jimmy's smile immediately faded as he felt around in his pockets. "Twenty cents and my pen laser. I spent it all on my clothes."

Cindy sadly nodded. "Yeah, me too." They took a seat on a nearby bench and stared at the food counter in front of them. "Who knows how long we'll be running by ourselves, and we're already out of money."

Jimmy sighed. "And I'm really hungry."

Cindy bit her lip and stood up. "Grab some food while I distract him," she whispered.

"You want me to steal? Bagels?" a shocked Jimmy asked.

Cindy shook her head. "It's food. We need it to survive. Besides, it's five bucks worth." Jimmy considered this and followed her as she went over to the counter.

Cindy waited for the man to face her before clearing her throat and circling her finger on the counter. "Um, hello there Mr.," Cindy read his nametag, "Studly."

Jimmy laughed. "You've got to be kidding me," he whispered. Cindy stomped on his foot and turned her attention back to the man in front of her.

"It's Stanley," the man grumbled. "What will you have?"

Cindy flashed her wide smile and made her eyes as big as possible. "What do you suggest, um, it was Manly, wasn't it?"

Jimmy tried to suppress his laughter, but couldn't do it. He held up his hand to acknowledge his apologies before Cindy could hit him again. He slowly walked around to the other end of the counter.

The man laughed as Cindy giggled a little. "Yeah, let's go by that." His expression soften as Cindy twirled her hair. "I suggest the bagels."

Jimmy snuck under the bar that stopped customers from entering the kitchen. He tiptoed over to the glass doors that separated him from the food.

Cindy nodded and smiled wider as she bit her lip. "Um, what kinds of bagels do you have?"

Jimmy turned his attention away from the locked door to Cindy. His eyes widened as she bent over the counter. Cindy's expression hardened as she saw him staring at her. Jimmy nodded and took out his pen laser. Uh, food. Yeah, that's what to focus on right now.

And raisin," the man finished.

Cindy nodded and started nervously tapping her fingers against the counter as Jimmy burnt the lock to the door open. "Mmmm, those all sound so good," Cindy said, trying to buy Jimmy some time.

"If you look at these right here," he whispered before turning around.

Cindy started grunting and hitting the counter. Jimmy turned around as the man finished his sentence. He looked around and jumped several feet to his left. He stood against the cardboard cutout of a boy holding a donut. He put on a huge smile and posed the same way the cardboard kid did.

The man unlocked the glass door and motioned at the rows of baked goods. "We also have a wide selection of donuts. Sweets for the sweet," he said while laughing.

Cindy laughed as well. Oh yeah, that's original. "Um, before I purchase anything, I, uh, am dyslexic. Could you yell me if this is a one dollar bill or a ten?" Cindy asked while pulling out her only dollar.

Jimmy mouthed dyslexic?, and Cindy just shrugged. The man turned around and walked back over to Cindy. Jimmy quickly reached inside the open door and grabbed several donuts. He then ran back over to the bar and crawled under it.

"That is a one dollar bill, ma'am. Just enough for a donut," the man said.

Cindy nodded. "I'll take chocolate." As the man turned his back, she ran away after Jimmy, who was already at the other end of the food court.

The man turned back around and saw that she was gone. "Damn it. Oh well," he said while popping the pastry into his mouth.

"Dyslexic?" Jimmy said while laughing as they took a seat, out of view of the donut man.

Cindy laughed as well. "Shut up. You're the one who plastered yourself against a cardboard cutout."

They both laughed as they dug into their breakfast.
