Today was a big day in the little town of Bumbledom. Even though nothing never really happened in this silly little town, today was the day that was going to change everything. The town was hosting their first ever states games, every school in the town was going through a severe election and one of the towns most popular celebrity Nyco was going to wake up from her decades long coma.

To begin begin at the very first of the list was the cafeteria that was in charge of every food that was going to be served on this very special day of the town. And in charge was everything was Miss Cubby. She was a woman in her thirties, her hair was slightly grey and she limped on her left foot. Her food wasn't great but it was close to a palatable dish so it was cut out to be served.

Early in the morning on the big day Miss Cubby woke up and when straight to the main school cafeteria to start cooking. Like any natural woman ,she started the work herself and slowly began calling her assistants to come and help her. The meals she prepared for millions of people looked kind of good. That is if you count the dishes she added salt to and the ones that had been properly washed then approximately three thousands of the dish was properly prepared and the rest were rather under prepared or burnt. All the meals were done and Miss Cubby was left with nothing to do. Hearing some noise from outside, she walked outside limping like a frog on land and look outside.

The cause of the noise was Mr Newton. The towns mayor. Meeting face to face, she couldn't do anything but smile to her love. Sure he was married but they belonged to each other. At the time he had arrived, the sun was setting, painting the sky with streaks of gold and orange with some birds chir softly in the distance.

"Ahhhh" Miss Cubby sighed in her mind. Everytime they met li was like a fairy tale and that was what she needed right now. Seeing a bench nearby,she sat on it nervously adjusting herself and cleaning some dirty off her apron.

Mr Newton stood before her and began to speak. Even his voice was cracked and damage, to him he sounded like prince charming calling unto rapunzel to lay down her hair.
"Come and see Mr Newton is speaking to Miss Cubby again".
One of the staffs said. Suddenly everyone run to the window and stuck to it like glue.

"EWWW".The children amongst them said as they witnessed their first gross love unfold infront of them.

"Shhhh".One of the staffs said so that they could listen to what he was saying properly.

" Well my little Cubby this is for you." Mr Newton said as he gave her a bunch of flowers he stole from the janitors garden.

"Aww thanks". She said as she waved the flowers towards the windows to show what her Mr Romantic had brought.

"Miss Cubby, I don't think we can keep meeting this way. We don't belong in this town with my wife following me all around like a sheep. I want us to be together like be... be together. My wife controls everything in this town already and when we run away no one will notice."

"In this town, I'm just a shadow in this grand plan. But we could be something real together." He said finally holding Miss Cubby's hand. Her heart began to beat loudly and she said.

"Well honey, it's not that simple". She said rubbing her hard, cracked hands on his face.

"I have responsibilities. A school to feed. You think we can just disappear and everything will be fine?"

Mr Newton walked closer and begun to speak. As he walked towards Miss Cubby, a huge gasp came from inside the building as they waited to see a messed up drama unfold before them.

"Yes. Because because this town is crappy already. You and I can go far away from here if you want."

He continued to speak."We can go where no one knows us, where no one expects us to smile a certain way or marry for power like my wife did to me. There's a place far beyond here that we can go. I have the money and you have the skills just imagine how we are going to be". Those last words he mentioned got Miss Cubby in tears. All her fantasies were coming true and she just wanted it to continue.

"When do we leave?" she finally said, taking Mr Newton by surprise.

"We can leave now". He answered.

"But today is..."

"Fuck it".he interrupted. "This is what makes it more perfect to leave".
