"Hey, is it ok to uncloak? It's been a few, and I don't want them to sleep forever."
"Shh, keep your voice down, Ruby. They're still here; by the backdoor.
The townsfolks have been going berserk, repeatedly saying, 'Sugar, sugar, sugar.'"
"Did you give it to them?"
"Why of course. It was either them or us."
"Good. Sugar will stop their spread. Should return to normal pretty soon."
"HEY, who are you talking to?"
"Uhoh."
*Zroom*
"Uhhh…..no one. Just myself."
"Thought I heard a girl's voice though?"
"Maybe it was your imaginary girlfriend. I told you, 'You need to get out more.'"
"Yeah? Maybe...….Maybe?"
"Do you think it's safe to go out and see?"
"Hardly reckon their is any food left. I'll take a peek."
"...What do you see?"
"It's all good. They're still confused, but not animals."
"So we have to retrainin them?"
'Better than refeed."
"...Then as Mayor...*Ahemm*.......I'll go out and make my presence known."
"Wait, Sir; I don't think it's..."
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentleman. Welcome to my little town, where everybody helps everybody. As Mayor, I am honored to introduce you to our delectable judges and cooks who have baked your sweet desserts."
".....Ruby, I think it's safe to come out now. Everyone's distracted with the Mayor.
Here's your hearts."
"Thanks. Sorry for the way the day went."
"Nothing to be sorry for. She'll come back nicer and happier, all thanks to you."
"I hope so. We'll get out of your way. Enjoy your new beds and tarnishes. Until next time."
"Before you go, as a thank you; here's some Peanut Brittle."
"Thanks.
Just let her rest a day, and everything will be back to normal."
