It was the day off. The manager of the circus remodeling had declared it. The next day would be the official grand reopening of The Hullaballoo! For most, it was pure excitement. For some, it was just more work. Regardless of anyone's feeling about it, there was no work to do.
Marge felt disappointed. Would she get the chance to see Mike today?
Mike woke up, realizing he had forgotten to ask Margaretha to hang out with him on the day off. He quickly changed into a dashing suit and gray pants to impress her, and his fine Sunday shoes. He dragged his bike from outside his little performer house, and walked the 100 meters to Marge's. Why isn't she called Margaret? He finally arrived at her performer house, and knocked on the striped door nervously, hoping she hadn't left to go somewhere. To his delight, she opened the door. He noticed her become ecstatic at the sight of him. "Good morning, Margaret. Would you accompany me on a bike ride, perhaps?" He grinned shyly.
Margaretha laughed. " 'Margaret?' That's what my parents call me!"
Mike looked down at his feet nervously.
"Of course I'll ride bikes with you!" Marge hugged him with energy, and scampered into her house. "Let me get my bicycle!" Soon she wheeled it out with pride. It was painted pink with gold trim, much like her usual outfit during her dancing performances.
Mike stared at her, so happy and cute with her little pink bike. It wasn't something he thought about anyone else. He smiled to himself.
Marge smiled back, excited. "Let's go!"
