n town, Fifi La Fume walked out of Bombino’s Pizzeria, which was the same place Lil Beeper worked at a part-time job once. She walked out, humming merrily while holding a small wrapper of gum. She licked the fingers of her right paw, cooing, “Zat sure was a good pie Bombino made back zere. He is, how do you say, ze Bomb?” She giggled to herself before unwrapping her gum. “And now, for some gum.” She looked at the audience beyond the 4th wall, saying, “What? Zey don’t have any mint for me so zey sub-zee-toot bubblegum. I know it’s not ze Ritz, but who sez you can’t eat pizza with ellie-gawnt style?”

After making that comment, she plopped the gum into her mouth, crumbled the wrapper into a ball, and tossed it into a trash bin that was on the opposite side of her. The wrapper ball rolled around the rim of the bin before finally falling into the trash. “Oui!” Fifi peeped with join. “Zank you, Lola Bunny, for showing me basketball!” After chewing it for quite some time, she started to blow a bubble.

With a couple of more puffs, she made the bubble bigger while the sun shined on the pale, rosy bubble. Eventually, she heard someone inside the pizzeria, gasping, “Mama Mia!” This made Fifi giggle, because she knows that she can make something bigger than the largest size of pizza inside Bombina’s restaurant. She blew and blew until she finally stopped. The bubble was already a wrecking ball with that size. She turned around with the bubble blocking the front window.

“Looks like I made a beeg-air bomb zan Bombino,” She said nonchalantly. “If Bombino could make pizza beegar zhan zis, you would dare see me eat it all in one setting?”
