Hungry Guppies 9

Summary
Nonny and Gil give Molly and Deema a challenge: to go through two days without eating. Can they do it?

Story
(It was a beautiful Thursday morning in July. Molly and Deema are swimming to Nonny's house.)

"What do you think Nonny wants to talk to us about?" Deema asked her pink-haired friend.

"I don't know." Molly said.

(They came to the front door and Molly knocks. Nonny opens up, a sly smile on his face. Gil is beside him with the same expression.)

"Hey there, ladies." They said as they step out.

"Hey Nonny. Hey Gilly. So why did you call us over?" Molly asked.

"Well, Nonny and I have been talking and..." Gil started.

"...we agreed to give you two ladies a challenge." Nonny finished.

"What kind of challenge?" Deema asked.

"You really want to know?" Gil said slyly.

"Yes!" Molly and Deema said.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Nonny said slyly.

"Yes! Yes! Just give us the challenge already!" Molly said, slightly impatient.

(The boys glanced at each other and nodded.)

"Okay. For you two, your challenge is to go through two days...wait for it..." Nonny started.

"...two days without...eating." Gil finished.

"Can we still drink water or juice or all that stuff?" Deema asked.

"Yes, except you're only allowed to drink water." Gil said.

"Aw, come on!" Both girls pouted.

"Would you rather go three days?" Gil says.

"No!" Deema protested.

"Two days is enough!" Molly said. "So what's the catch?"

"Here's how this will work. If you girls make it, you win. But if you break and start eating, then you..." Gil started.

"...go through the entire supermarket, slapping your butt while making donkey noises." Nonny finished.

"Right. So...how long is this again?" Deema asked.

"Two days. From Friday morning to Saturday night." Nonny said.

(After about ten seconds of silence, the two girls decide to accept the challenge.

"Deal!" Molly and Deema said in unison.

"Good. And also...during those two days, one of us will have to spend our time with one of you." Gil says.

"Oooooookay...." Molly and Deema said in unison.

"Okay. See you two tomorrow and Saturday." Gil said.

(The girls left. They turn back to see the duo giving them the "I'm watching you" gesture before entering the house.)

"They'll totally break." Gil said slyly.

"Uh-huh. They'll never make it." Nonny said slyly.

--

(Friday morning. The time the challenge begins. Nonny and Gil, with backpacks and sleeping bags, swam to each one of the girls' home; Gil to Molly's and Nonny to Deema's.)

(Gil approaches Molly's home and he knocks on the door. A groggy Molly opens the door, her pink and usually neat hair is frazzled and is wearing a pink bathrobe that she just slipped on.)

"Hey Gilly." Molly said with a yawn.

"Hello Molly." Gil said, hearing the pink-haired girl's growling gut. "You know, you can always break."

Molly shoves Gil back.

"No way!" She said. "I will never break! I can make it through this challenge like it's nothing!"

"We'll see about that." Gil said slyly.

"You'll see. I won't break." Molly said.
