The morning started just like any other—Yumi and Mimi playing quietly, climbing around, sharing snacks, and enjoying the cool breeze. Everything seemed peaceful… until Cici decided today was the PERFECT day for a prank. And not just any prank—a scary one.
Cici had been hiding behind the big water jar for several minutes, peeking out with that mischievous sparkle in her eyes. She watched Yumi and Mimi wandering closer and closer, completely unaware of the chaos about to unfold. Mimi, as usual, was busy chewing on her tiny leaf snack, while Yumi was scratching her belly dramatically like she always does when she’s bored.
Then—BOOM! Cici jumped out with a loud “HA!” and her arms spread wide like a little monster.
The reaction was instant.
Mimi screamed first—her tiny voice shooting straight into the sky as she spun around and clung to Yumi. But Yumi? She froze for a second, eyes wide, then let out a dramatic shriek that could win an Oscar. Both of them scrambled backward so fast they nearly tripped over each other.
Cici stood proudly, chest puffed out, laughing like she had just pulled off the prank of the century.
But the moment she saw Yumi’s trembling lips… and Mimi hiding behind her like a baby koala… the victory smile faded. Cici stepped closer slowly, her head tilted, trying to see if they were okay.
Yumi let out a little “Eeee!” complaint. Mimi peeked out with the saddest eyes ever.
And that’s when Cici realized her prank had been a little too scary.
So she did what Cici always does when she feels guilty—she gently wrapped her arms around both of them, pulling them into the softest group hug. Mimi clung to her chest, still shaking a bit, and Yumi buried her face into Cici’s shoulder like she needed comfort more than anything.
Within seconds, the fear turned into laughter as Cici started grooming their hair, apologizing in her own monkey way.
By the end, the scary prank became the cutest moment of the day—proving that even when she causes a little chaos, Cici’s heart is always full of love.
