Working for Peanut Butter

You put the squirrels down at your feet along with a baseball cap and turn on your portable cd player. Lennie starts dancing around, suprisingly rather graceful for such a plump squirrel. Morton starts tapping his foot, and is soon really getting into the groove.

The crowd are really spellbound by the dancing squirrels, and throw coins and even a few notes. By mid afternoon you count your earnings and have raised $30.54. "That'll buy you lots of peanut butter!" you say "We'll get some proper human clothes for you both, and one of you can perform and the other can collect money....OH MY GOD!!!"

"What?" asks Morton

"I forgot about my lab job! I'll have to go and explain what happened to me and why I didn't show!". You start running off but Morton clicks his fingers and your sandalled feet stop still and refuse to move. The serum must still be active. "Hey!" you cry as you tug at your ankle "Lemmie go!"

"We can't let you go to that lab!" says Morton, scampering up. "We barely managed to escape ourselves!"

"They'll perform hideous experiments on you, just like they did to us!" adds Lennie "Why else would they offer a large amount of money to lure young hyomees like yourself in?"
