Melva let out a squeal as something thudded beside her.  Curiously, it looked like a bag of sugar.  Lifting her head to look out over the garden fence, she saw Podo scrambling to gather some items that were strewn all over the path.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened and she ducked her head.  Crawling on her hands and knees, she tried to make her way for the door, hoping to not be noticed.  That way he could grab his sugar and leave her in peace.<br/><br/>Her heart hammered and she hoped that she was inconspicuous enough, but the brim of the hat was pulled way too low and she wasn't sure what direction she was going in.
