Vivian collapsed down on the park bench with a heavy sigh. Head tipped back, eyes closed, arms heavy at her sides. One of those sit downs. It had been a long day, and she was exhausted. "How do others do this, it's worse than being back at school..." She muttered to herself as she raised a hand to give herself a few mild slaps to the cheek to wake herself up. "Lock it in, Little!" Vivian then hissed to herself as she forced her body to sit upright.

"At least I have this," she said to herself as she reached into a bag for a small rectangular box. Opening it revealed a trio of pastries; a small cake with a color mirror glaze and chocolate decorations, an eclair, and a croissant cube that had hints of rainbow in the swirling pattern. She couldn't wait to try it.

Neither could the ducks that seemed to be wandering over to the woman, their little tailfeathers wagging back and forth.

"O-oh... uh... oh no, um... sorry, guys. I didn't get anything for you..." Not good.
