“I still don’t get it.”

“They want to take some photos.”

“What for?”

“I think they want to run them in their paper.”

“Seems silly to me.”

“You and I  have the same opinion, but we really should play along.”

“Who are these other little weirdos?”

“They are members of the court.”

“Court?”

“You know. The homecoming court.”

“How in the heck did we get wrapped up in this mess.”

“Remember when we first got here, we said we needed to fit in?”

“Yeah, I even said that.”

“Fitting in meant we had to join the festivities.”

“I know that. What I mean is, how did we win the contest? That mess.”

“We were chosen out of al the other candidates.”

“I thought we were just standing with them. Not contestants.”

“It seems everyone thought we were worthy.”

“But there is supposed to be a king and queen.”

“I think they overlooked that part.”

“Well, Lieutenant. As soon as this foolishness ends, we must complete the mission.”

“I know, sir. And we will. There is just one more thing.”

“What’s that?”

“Chocolate cake.”

“What?”

“They are serving Chocolate cake.”

“We are on duty, Lieutenant. Besides, chocolate cake is illegal back home.”

“But we are not home, sir.”

“I suppose one piece won’t hurt.”

“Oh, sir. You are the best.”

“But no more. You know what the next morning feels like after too much.”

“Don’t remind me, sir.”

“Okay, let’s go to the cake bar and relax.”

“After you, sir.”

  14. By reading the comments of your other readers, I think you’d best get another cake – you have quite a few chocolate criminals on your hands!

  17. You have to wonder at a time and place where Chocolate cake is illegal. Surely it couldn’t survive the civil disobedience, the inevitable Cake Resistance Movement, the underground ovens, the slice dealers, the difficulty of adulterated chocolate substitutes, flooding the market…
