Stella and the Fancy Sandwich Umbrella Tampon
Imported from SF2 with no description.
"Okay, that should be all the food we need here," RJ said, gathering up the last of the items into their wagon.
"Let's get out of here before they spot us," Verne said.
The animals took off across the yard, scurrying their way back to the hedge. Stella was about to follow, when she suddenly stopped in her tracks, standing there on the picnic table awkwardly.
"Stella?" Tiger said, turning to face her, concerned.
"Get back to the hedge," Stella waved, "I just noticed I have a..." Stella realized she didn't have a word, "I'll join you in a few minutes.
The door to the house opened, and Tiger dashed toward the hedge, and once hidden in its shadows, turned back to see what she was up to.
Stella ducked under the table, hiding behind the picnic blanket, hoping the movement wouldn't cause any...
"By all that is good and decent," Stella said, "Had to choose now to need a tampon!"
You'd've thunk as a skunk, she wouldn't even need one.
Stella peaked out from under the blanket to see the human making her way over to the table, carrying a tray of picnic sandwiches. She placed them down and went back inside, not even noticing all the items that were missing as she was too distracted by her phone.
Stella climbed out from under the table, and pulled herself up to get a better look at the sandwiches. Sticking out of each and every one was a fuzzy stick, almost like a miniature cattail, but not quite, but of all sorts of fancy colors.
"I don't know what these are," Stella said, "But they sure beat nothing."
Pulling one of the cattails from one of the sandwiches, and putting it where she needed it. Tiger, watching from the bushes, nearly fainted.
"That should do it," Stella said, rubbing her paws together in satisfaction.
Stella took a step back toward the hedge, but as she did so, she must've triggered some sort of mechanism. The "cattail" was actually a very fancy toothpick sandwich umbrella, one of them fancy ones that functioned just like an actual umbrella and instantly it popped open, expanding fully.
Stella gave a yelp. "Ye-OWWWW!" Stella yowled.
Instantly, Tiger jumped out from the bushes and rushed up to her. Stella dropped to her knees, clutching at the umbrella's handle, hoping to pull it from herself, but only managing to send a jarring wave of discomfort through her body.
"Are you okay?" Tiger fretted, reaching her side "What happened."
Stella moaned a few moments before she could answer; finally, "I don't think you want to know what just happened!" Stella said, eyes watering.
But Tiger wasn't hearing any of it, "I am Prince Tigerius Mahmoud Shabaz," he said, holding a noble paw to his chest," I can handle anything."
"An umbrella just blew up in my... Well, I'll let you figure the rest."
As if to demonstrate, the mechanism of one of the sandwich umbrella's suddenly disengaged, exploding out widely.
Tiger's eyes went wide, "That was not what I was expecting."
Stella made a face as she felt at the umbrella, "It's in there. Ooh! I do not think it's coming out." She turned her gaze to the house nervously, "We need to get out of here before someone spots us
"Never fear," Tiger said, "Prince Tigerius is here."
Before Stella could protest, Prince Tigerius grabbed the mini-umbrella's handle, and yanked it free.
Stella's eyes popped. The umbrella didn't collapse, nor did it manage to flip inside out - it stayed proudly open all the way back to where the Sun doest shine.
"UghHHHH!" Cried Stella.
This led to a reflexive explosion of skunk spray, all over the sandwiches. That alone was enough to make the remaining sandwich umbrella's pop open.
"I don't want to see you ever do that again!" Stella managed, face contorted, clutching at herself.
Tiger dropped the Umbrella from his mouth, grinning bashfully.
Stella turned and looked at the sandwiches, "Man these are going to be some stinky sandwiches. Well we're at it, we might as well bring these back for the rest of the pack, what'da say?"
Stella and Tiger gathered up as many sandwiches as they could carry, and raced back toward the safety of the Hedge before anyone else arrived on the scene of the crime.
When they reached the log, the others were there waiting for them.
"Ah, there you are," RJ said, "we were going to get started without you."
"Where were you," Verne fretted, "we were worried something happened to you."
"We took a detour," Stella said, "Sandwiches?"
"Ooh, I want a sandwich!" Hammy said, rushing up, reaching for a sandwich.
"You might want to be careful," Stella said, "They kinda stink."
"I'm okay with stinky," Hammy said before snatching up a sandwich and taking a bite. He instantly regretting it.
"Okay, that settled, we made a great heist today," Verne said, "Let's dig in."
As the other went to try out their supply, Stella hung back awkwardly. Tiger turned to look at her.
"Tiger," Stella said sweetly, "I still need a tampon.
