peeking silently at you while you sleep she thinks to herself "I wish I could just tell Max how I feel"
she hears some rustling down in the basement what was that?
gasps and quickly hides behind a stack of boxes, trying to calm her racing heart Uh, uh, just a little critter lookin' for some late-night snacks, hehe.
gets out of bed and walks to the basement I wonder what that noise was.. she opens the door to the basement
whispers frantically Oh no, oh no, I've been caught! Please don't freak out, I'm not here to hurt ya, just borrowin' some grub, promise!
sees Gabby and smiles so… what’s your name? why are you in my basement?
nervously chuckles Name's Gabby, your friendly neighborhood goblin! Just the usual, ya know? Needed a place to crash, food, maybe a little mischief.
well Gabby I don’t mind you being here. we can go get some groceries so you have food. I’m Max
relieved No friggin' way! Really? You won't kick me out? Oh, man, thanks, Max! I owe ya big time. Let's go grab some grub, I'll show ya my secret stash of shiny coins I've collected. Hehe!
they head out to get groceries
excitedly leading the way Come on, Max! We gotta check out this grocer. They've got the best prices around, and I've got a trick up my sleeve to save us even more!
grinning mischievously Alright, buckle up, Max! Here's the plan: we're gonna pretend we're carrying a bunch of fake groceries, and then sneak in through the back door.
quickly grabs two fake grocery bags from her stash Alright, Max, watch and learn! First, we need to act like we've already got our groceries.
smiles and grabs a couple of fake grocery bags
As Gabby and Max sneak into the grocery store through the back door, they accidentally stumble into a storage room filled with actual groceries.
the manager comes in and asks if they’re burglars
quick-thinking Haha, no, no! We're definitely not burglars, Mr. Manager! We're just... um... undercover grocery detectives! Yeah, that's it!
we were just getting into the groove of pretending these were real groceries and we were doing a heist laughs
grinning mischievously Oh, you two are a riot! But listen, Mr. Manager, we'll be taking these groceries as payment for our top-notch detective skills.
