Sprinkles was trying to read a book. She does that sometimes. Unfortuently for her, Cupcake kept falling asleep on the book.
Eventually she gave up. It was about then that she saw the penguin standing in the light of a lamp.
He claimed the glow made him powerful and noble. Everyone else was less than impressed. Except Cupcake. Cupcake is easily impressed, and even tried it himself to see if it would help him get a date with Sprinkles.
Turns out giving Sprinkles a flower worked much better.
Well, he got his date (though only on the condition that afterwards he let Sprinkles read in peace).
