PAMPERED

331 The Fairy’s Animal Kingdom.

When they finished the Ferris wheel ride, the sun had almost set. Penny and Zoren finally calmed down after spending the day riding everything and trying everything in sight. After the ride, they walked around aimlessly with their witch hats still on.

“Oh, there’s… cotton candy” Her brows rose as she saw a small booth where one of the staff was holding two sticks of cotton candy. “Should we try them?”

“Mhm, sure.”

With that, Penny skipped over to the stall while he trailed behind her.

“Oh, wow!” Her face brightened up. “They are cute!”

The cotton candies had different designs, such as flowers, minions, piglets, mice, cats, and even a frog! =

“Is the owner a pet lover?” she blurted out, noticing that some parts of the theme park had many animal themes. It reminded her of Disneyland, where there were all kinds of animal mascots representing the animal characters many people grew up with.

“Yes,” the staff nodded with a soft smile. “It is said that the owner of the amusement park likes. animals.”

Her mouth formed into an ‘o‘ shape. “Oh, wow.”

“Do you want cotton candy, Miss?” the staff asked. “Which one do you want? We can customize it if you’d like.”

“How much?”

“Same price, Miss.”

Penny glanced at the price poster next to the stall and furrowed her brows. “So cheap!”

“This amusement park’s focus is for everyone to enjoy it without breaking their wallets,” the staff chuckled. “Our mission is to make sure all children who come here have a memorable experience with their families.”

“Isn’t that nice?” Penny beamed, her good impression of the theme park growing tenfold. “Then,

I’d like the…”

She trailed off as she looked over the choices. “Now, Lean’t help but feel like if I choose an animal, I’m heartless. Her remark made the staff laugh.

“How about a flower, Miss?” the staff suggested.

“Sure!” She nodded. “I’ll get the flower

Penny and the staff then turned to the guy behind her. “What about you? Can you eat cotton candy? Or are you watching your sugar?”

“I want a worm.

The staff and Penny stared at him se if they hadn’t heard him the first time. He didn’t inet gav he

wanted a worm, right?

“A long one,” he added without faltering. “Can you do that?”

A look of horror slowly spread across Penny’s and the staff’s faces as they looked at him in disbelief. There wouldn’t be a problem making a worm out of cotton candy, but why?! There were so many options, so why a worm?

“Zoren, are you… sure?” Penny asked, only to see him nod. “Really sure?”

too.

“Yes. He nodded, his eyes on the staff. “Do it. A long worm that can scare you The staff opened and closed his mouth before casting his colleague a look. The latter also looked at Zoren in dismay, but it was his request. Therefore, they fulfilled the request, even though it made them wonder about his taste.

While waiting. Penny looked at him with mixed emotions.

‘Goodness. She shook her head slightly. Renren, you really have a weird taste.‘ – just like her.

It didn’t take long for them to get their cotton candy.

“Here is your cotton candy!” the staff announced, handing over the sticks with a smile. He first gave the beautiful flower to Penny and then the scary long worm to Zoren.

Unlike the look of horror the staff had, Zoren smiled in satisfaction.

“Thank you,” he said, staring at the cotton candy that was probably the length of a sword.

Once they paid, Penny and Zoren walked away. She couldn’t help but glance at his cotton candy, but before she could say anything, she heard a child speak.

“Mommy, what is that sword?”

Penny glanced at the little girl, catching her tugging at her mother and pointing in their direction. The mother squinted at what Zoren was holding but couldn’t tell what it was exactly. “Is it poop?” the girl asked innocently, only for her mother to cover her mouth. The mother then glanced at Penny and smiled apologetically before telling her daughter not to be rude to others. A shallow sigh escaped Penny, and she cast a look at the happy Zoren. “I didn’t know you were

into worms.

“I’m not, but it reminds me of a funny memory from the past,” he chuckled. “I’m not eating it. “Why not?”

“Because I’m not a mouse.”

The rest of the words Penny had to say got stuck in her throat as she looked at him with slight surprise. For others, his answer wouldn’t make sense. Perhaps, they would even wonder if he was changing the subject. However, Penny knew exactly what he was talking about.

‘I almost forgot about that,‘ she told herself, laughing to herself as she turned her eyes ahead. ‘We did have such a memory in the past. Isn’t he sweet? Is there anything he has forgotten about

331 The Fairy’s Animal Kingdom.

Thinking of that memory from the past, the smile on her face brightened.

“Aren’t you going to eat that?” he asked, snapping her back to the present.

Her brows rose as she glanced at the cotton candy. “I want to, but it’s too pretty. I don’t want to

ruin it.”

“Fair enough.”

“Hehe.” She giggled before she caught sight of a shop up ahead. “Oh, there’s a snack bar over there!”

Just as he glanced at her, Penny had already hastened her steps to check it out. Unlike the booths and stalls before, the snack bar was more of a convenience store, still following the magical theme of the amusement park.

“Oh, wow,” she intoned, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the chocolate aisle. “Oh… WOW.” With eyes shimmering, she approached the chocolate section. Her expression brightened even more when she saw THOSE chocolates. The chocolates Penny and Slater always fought over back when they were children and even now.

That third brother was so fickle and often reluctantly shared, even though he said he would share everything with her.

“Is there a limit here?” she wondered, knowing all the stores that sold this type of chocolate had a limit policy. “Well, they can just tell me at the counter.

A mischievous giggle escaped her as she grabbed a handful, wondering if a handful was even enough. She wanted to share these chocolates with everyone. After all, the supply of this particular sweet was limited despite its high demand.

When Penny was hugging all the chocolates she could carry, she turned and saw Zoren just standing in the corner of the shop. Curious, she furrowed her brows and stretched her neck, only to see him staring at the corner shelf. She approached him carefully and saw that he was looking at a children’s book that was being strangely sold in a snack bar.

“What is that?” she asked, making him look back at her.

“A book”

“I know it’s a book”

“I’ll get it,” he said, making her want to say he couldn’t even see, let alone read! “Is that all yours?” Penny glanced at the chocolates in her arms and smiled. “Hehe. I’m sharing these; they’re not all. for myself.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“You don’t have to explain. Let’s pay for them.”

“Mhm.” Penny nodded and followed him, glancing at the children’s book in his hand with the title: The Fairy’s Animal Kingdom.
