On Tilla's special day, the promise of joy and celebration filled the air. It was a time for the family to come together and make her birthday truly remarkable. Blitzo, with unwavering determination, embarked on a mission to create a unique and heartfelt card, one that would convey the depth of his love for his mother.

While Blitzo was meticulously crafting the card, his twin sister, Barbie, was equally absorbed in her mission. They were secretly rehearsing a special circus performance they had planned just for their mother. Their aim was clear: to make her birthday unforgettable, to bring a radiant smile to her face and a deep warmth to her heart.

Blitzo's hands worked diligently, embellishing the card with vivid colors, sparkling glitter, and heartfelt words that expressed his profound love and gratitude for his mother. Every stroke of the pen was infused with the love he held for her.

When the time came for them to be summoned to the kitchen to aid in decorating the birthday cake, Blitzo and Barbie were faced with a tempting challenge. The cake's tantalizing aroma filled the room, and the twins couldn't help but cast a longing gaze at the mouthwatering confection.

They steadfastly resisted the urge to sneak a bite as they focused on the task at hand. Together, they spread the sweet frosting across the cake, their young hands showing remarkable care. Their teamwork continued as they delicately placed a single candle on top, making the cake look like a symbol of their love for their mother.

With all the preparations finally complete, the family gathered around the birthday cake. Together, they sang a heartfelt rendition of "Happy Birthday" to their beloved mother. As the final notes of the song filled the air, Tilla leaned forward, her breath extinguishing the single candle's flame.

Blitzo, with the innocence of a child, couldn't help but wonder about his mother's birthday wish. Tilla, her face adorned with a contented smile, pulled her children close, her voice filled with tenderness as she expressed her deepest wish. "I've already got my wish right here, with both of you." In this heartfelt moment, the warmth and love between them shone brightly, a testament to the enduring bonds of family that only grew stronger with each passing day.

Meanwhile at the circus, once a thriving place of wonder and excitement, was now a shadow of its former self. The heart of the circus, Buckzo, couldn't escape the troubles that had befallen him. In his cluttered office, he paced incessantly, his rants filling the room with a whirlwind of frustration and self-pity. His every word was tinged with regret and anger, his confusion over Tilla's continued distance and the dwindling state of the circus.

The list of extravagant gestures he had showered upon Tilla seemed endless. He enumerated them for Fizzarolli, from flowers to chocolates, her favorite books, and even a love song he had written specifically for her. Yet, her forgiveness remained elusive, and Buckzo's bewilderment grew.

In a sudden moment of clarity, Buckzo uttered an almost desperate question, "What will it take for Tilla and the kids to come back to the circus?" The realization of the answer struck him with the force of a lightning bolt. He needed to apologize sincerely and convince Tilla that he had truly transformed. Of course, he didn't acknowledge that Fizzarolli's input had led to this revelation.

Fizzarolli groaned, his annoyance palpable, as Buckzo appeared to hijack his idea without credit. Clearing his throat, he finally delivered the news he had intended to share. Four impeccably dressed hellhounds had appeared at the circus entrance, their formal attire contrasting starkly with the circus's declining state. They demanded an audience with Buckzo, delivering a chilling message. The circus had fallen behind on payments for the land they were renting. If Buckzo didn't rectify the situation within the next two months, the circus would be forcefully evicted.
