“Let go of the balloon!” Cherry Berry screamed.

“No!”  Berryshine screamed back, hanging onto the final rope lashing the  balloon to the ground for dear life. “You can’t just leave me!”

“You’re crazy!”

“Me? You’re the one screaming like a lunatic and leaving town!” Berry yelled back.

“I  am not leaving town!” Cherry hollered. “We’re fighting, not breaking up! I’m at work! You can’t hold a balloon back, you’ll hurt yourself, or worse! And you’re ruining Button’s birthday flight!”

“Is she gonna get pulled off the ground?” Button Mash asked breathlessly.

“Ugh,  no, she’s not!” With a grunt of rage Cherry leaned over the side of the basket and pulled her irredeemable girlfriend into the basket, just before the rope unraveled and the balloon launched into the sky.

“You’re crazy!” Cherry repeated.

“I love you!”

“I love you too but like I said, you’re crazy!”

“You’re both crazy,” Button muttered.
