The Sprinkling Circus tent buzzed with a pre-show energy. Sawdust mingled with the sweet scent of popcorn, and the distant rumble of the crowd gathered outside sent a tingle of excitement through Giggles. She bounced on her feet, her candy corn hat bobbing.

Giggles tried to juggle it, arms flailing a bit, but it tumbled to the ground. "Oopsie!" She then noticed a trail of shiny confetti leading towards the lion tamer's ring. "Ooh, a treasure hunt!" She couldn't wait to see what delightful surprise awaited her!
