Suave Rehearsal

Practicing my ultra-suave opening greeting to an empty bottle cap turned out way more terrifying than facing any cosmic villain! I slid into my bottle-cap seat across from the dandelion centerpiece, leaned one elbow coolly forward, and tried out my smoothest voice: 'Hey Bloomy, come here often?' But u-uh, my voice instantly squeaked, and my cape snagged right on the rim of the cap! I scrambled up, frantically smoothing down my tunic and nudging the fry so the gold star faced perfectly forward under the amber tea light. If she arrives right this second, I am totally, completely composed. My boots just need to quit tapping!
