Petals hummed as she tidied up the nursery, the babies sleeping peacefully in their cribs. She looked over at the offspring, smiling warmly before the door to the nursery slams open.

"Heyyy there, dollface-"

Petals quickly runs up to Spikey, covering his mouth. Thankfully, his carelessness didn't disturb the babies.

"Spikey! Please be more careful. The babies are sleeping!"

Spikey sighs, crossing his arms. "Right, sorry about that. Listen, babe, I need to...uh...borrow something! Yeah, that's why I'm here"

Petals tilts her head. "Really? You never come to the nursery, what could you possibly need?"

"I, uh...some napkins? I know you keep some here..." Spikey trails off, glancing to the side every few seconds.

Petals sighs, nodding her head. "I do, let me get them for you-" she suddenly spots a black blur in the corner of her eye, whipping her head around. Her ears twitch as she listens closely.

"Uh, what's the problem? Hurry up girly, I don't have all day-"

Petals squints and shushes Spikey, grabbing the can of silly string out of her purse. "Something went under the crib right there..."

Carefully approaching the aforementioned crib, Petals kneels down and sprays the string under it. A hiss emits, followed by another blur as the intruder dives into the center of the room.

"FUCK! What the fuck!" Minstrel hisses, attempting to pull the string off of their face. Petals gasps, kneeling down next to the creature.

"Easy honey, easy...let me get that off for you, okay?" Petals speaks softly, calming Minstrel down as she peels the material off of him. "Better?"

Minstrel nods, allowing Petals to help it stand up. "Now, what in the world were you doing?" Petals asks, crossing her arms.

"Uh...well...it was Spikey's idea, he did it!" Minstrel spits out, pointing at the other klown.

"WHAT?! No, I was the distraction! You were supposed to grab the goods and leave!" Spikey growls, putting his hands on his hips.

"Goods? You two better start explaining before I get Slim" Petals frowns, her voice a bit more stern.

"Spikey was telling me about this stuff! Really good stuff, called 'candy'! He said you had a secret stash!" Minstrel looks up at Petals pitifully, pouting.

Petals hums softly, patting Minstrels head as she sighs. "Oh, sweetheart...if you wanted some candy, you should've just asked! Here you go, hon"

Petals digs in her purse, holding out a handful of small assorted candies. Minstrel and Spikey begin to grab for them, with Spikey already shoving them into his mouth.

Minstrel prepares to do the same, before a voice snaps them out of their trance. "Wouldn't do that if I were you"

The three turn to see Rudy, leaning against the doorframe. "Candy's got sugar in it. Remember what happened when you tried a cocoon?"

Minstrel frowns, handing her portion of candy to Spikey who happily takes it. "Aw...wait, wait- you saved me! You prevented the most grueling tummy ache ever!"

Minstrel runs up to Rudy, hugging him tightly. "My hero! My savior! My, uh, whatever other words there are for hero!"

Rudy smiles softly, planting his lips on Minstrels in a soft kiss. "I got you. Just remember to ask me before you go eating random things, okay?"

Minstrel nods, holding Rudy's hand as the two walk off into the hallway. Spikey looks down at Petals, grinning. "Soooo, since it's just you and me in here...you got anything else in that cute lil purse for me~?"

Petals smiles sweetly, before taking the can of silly string back out and shaking it. Spikey takes the hint, running out of the nursery in panic.
