"One Nut-Dog for me please," It's still weird to see ex-Mayor Dewey working the Big Donut. He turned to Connie, who was staring intently at the menus, "Do you want anything Connie?"
"I'll take a chocolate-glazed donut please." Hm. That's different.
"Alright, that's one Nut-Dog and one chocolate-glazed donut for 3.99." Dewey rang up the cash, put the food into bags, and handed it to them. "Have a good day!" Ring-a-ling! "Welcome to the Big Donut!"
Steven and Connie exited the shop. Orange saturated the horizon while the endless blue sky filled with puffy clouds. They sat down at the edge of the Boardwalk and started eating. Connie looked at hers for a minute, while Steven took a huge bite from one end. "Whafchu thinking abouf Connie?"
"Should I eat this?" Nobody should look sad while looking at a donut! "I-Mom doesn't let me have saturated or trans fats, but I've wanted to try it once and Ihavetraininginonlyacoupleminutesso-" She gasped for breath. Silent, Steven took the half-crumbled donut out of her hands.
"I think you can try it." Connie stared at him. "Maybe you can just take a bite? Just to see what it tastes like? I think it'd be okay to do that." She stared down at her feet, thoughts crawling across her face. Steven offered the donut to her once again. Connie took it. A little bite, she chewed thoughtfully. They watched the sunrise evolve, orange fading its way to bleeding red and pink. Connie ate more of hers slowly. Steven finished the rest of the Nut-Dog in a minute.
"Did you like it?"
"I'm happy I tried it. But I'm not going to have one again."
"Well, I thought it was totally nuts that you wanted to try one in the first place!" They both laughed.
