small story I wrote to go along with the image.

Pastel had always been both a curious and stubborn little skunk and it was very obvious when she got her hands on her new balloon. She liked it a lot so who knows why she suddenly decided that she wanted to find out if she could sit down on it to make it pop.

As she sat down on it the balloon squaked and creaked but it didn't pop. Pastel was confused. She knew that when she had jumped on balloons before they would disappear with a loud bang. The confusion was quickly taken over by stubbornness. The balloon hadn't popped when she thought it would so now she absolutely wanted it to pop.

She started to shift her weight around and the balloon squeaked and creaked even more but still didn't burst. Pastel was now getting visibly annoyed so she started to bounce up and down on it.

"Come on and pop you stupid balloon!" she cried out in frustration and at that moment as she bounced down again the balloon finally gave way and burst with a loud bang.

Pastel landed on her poofy butt a bit surprised by the fact that it had actually popped and as she stood back up and looked at the remains of her popped toy she started to feel a bit overwhelmed.

And unsurprising to anyone who knew her, Pastel very quickly started to cry as she realized that her toy was now gone and that while it had been fun to pop it that now meant that she couldn't play with it anymore.

Pastel's mom who had heard the noise from the other room could guess what had happened and grabbed the open bag of balloons she kept in a drawer in the living room and started to walk over to the room where Pastel was so she could giver her a new balloon to cheer her up even though she knew that this would just start the cycle of events over again.
