Reviews: THANK YOU SO MUCH! ToT I've never had more faithful reviewers! Ahem…Anyways, thanks to…
TheifGoddess424: Wow! Thanks a lot! That's probably the nicest review I've ever gotten! Besides Heiduska's, that is…
Speaking of Heiduska!
Heiduska: SQUEE! Yay! Thank you so much! I…I don't know what to say! Well…Somebody actually said "a good start:DD" WITH TWO MOUTHS! That is just plain godliness, people!
At the Happy Campers orphanage, Sunday was always the darkest night. There was usually some weird weather, too. Tonight, it was a hurricane. It was also the night that Bernard and Cerulia raided the kitchen. They always came back, their sacks loaded with candies and pastries from the adults' stash. No one knew how those two managed to steal so much without being busted. But, Saturn was the only one not in awe of their performance. She hated all thieves, and if it meant her best friends too…well, she didn't care. Gemini was probably the worst thief in the world, but her friends tolerated her mistakes and helped her out the best they could.
Because of the hurricane, there was trash and debris flying everywhere. The younger children were scared, but most of them completely missed the storm because they fell asleep. How they slept, no one knows. The wind was screaming like the fireworks on the Fourth of July. However, it was the perfect night for Plan PB. No, not plan Peanut Butter, Plan Prison Break. Bernard explained everything very carefully.
"Ok, first, we make a break for the front door. Cerulia will pick the lock while the rest of us keep watch. Then, because there's so much trash flying around, we will run to the sign and take refuge for a few moments to get ourselves together. Then, we run from alley to alley until we get to my mansion. Don't worry about anyone finding us; only Coopers and friends are allowed in there. Our family heirloom, the Cooper cane, is hidden in there somewhere and I'm dead-set on finding it! So…are you in? Or out?…Wow, don't answer that 'cause that sounded really lame."
"…Uh…ok, is everyone here?" asked Bernard, jokingly.
"I'm here," said Gemini.
"Present," said Saturn.
"Ditto," said Cerulia.
"Can I come?" asked an unfamiliar voice.
Everyone jumped. They turned to look at where the quiet, frail voice was coming from. A small, gray rabbit, with jet-black hair, in a faded blue denim jumper with a purple shirt stood before them. "Hi! My name is Tara, and I'm seven years old. I overheard your plan, and I would like to go with you." She then gave the gang just about the cutest puppy-dog-eye-face ever.
"Aww, how can we resist?" Cerulia cooed. "Of course you can come, Tara! Just... be careful."
"I've seen how you guys work before, and you've pulled off some of the best heists I've seen since I was four!" Tara exclaimed. "You're just…just…AWESOME!"
"Gee, thanks, Tara! Wow…I'm so flattered!" said Saturn.
"I wasn't talking to you," said Tara. "I was talking to Cerulia and Bernard!"
"Oh."
"What do you mean, 'Oh'?"
"Nothing."
"Oh."
"Are you guys done yet? 'Cause we'd like to get on with PPB, if you don't mind," said Bernard.
"Yeah, yeah…" saidTara and Saturnsimultaneously. Saturn only complained once, that it was cold out, as they ran through the door. Whilst the garbage and leaves and miscellaneous debris whacked them in the face, they sprinted for the sign. Taking refuge there, they got their bearings then emerged again, not noticing a very dark object in the sky above them. Once they got to the first alley, they oriented themselves and ran to the next one, and so on 'til they got to the Cooper mansion. They opened the huge oak door and ran inside. They were home.
Author notes: The last ending was a joke! lol
