1. The Scene: A Campfire, A Blanket, A Sky Full of Snacks (Stars)
It was one of those quiet nights.
The campfire crackled, Pandy brewed his “mystery calming tea,” and Mini Blue glowed softly as the stars came out. I stared up at the sky and whispered, “That one looks like a sandwich.”
Pandy sighed, “Doggie, those are constellations, not concessions.”
But I knew what I saw.
2. The First Confession (Mine)
As the firelight flickered, I finally admitted it:
“I stole the last cookie at the picnic… even though I pretended to be asleep during the Snackpacking cleanup.”
Mini Blue turned pink — definitely judging.
Pandy just handed me another cookie and said, “I know.”
3. Pandy’s Turn (Sort Of)
When I asked Pandy for a confession, he just said:
“I sometimes drink the tea before boiling the water. It’s efficient.”
Mini Blue turned yellow (amusement).
I’m not sure that’s even a real confession.
4. Mini Blue Speaks (Without Speaking)
Mini Blue, glowing blue-green, slid a tiny cracker toward me.
Was it forgiveness? Bribery? Or just a silent reminder that everyone loves snacks under the stars?
I ate the cracker anyway.
5. The Night Ends, Snack Souls Cleansed
We watched the stars (and the sandwich-shaped one) until the fire dimmed.
I whispered, “Next time, I’ll bring extra cookies… probably.”
Pandy chuckled. Mini Blue turned mint green (peace).
And for once, we all agreed: snacks taste better with starlight.
