The boy hurried home.  Gran was waiting.  Teatime!

A strange couple darted around the corner: a geezer in a velvet jacket and a petite blonde.

"What now, Doctor?"

"Ruxids can be tranquilised by a saccharide-citric acid mixture.  Unfortunately, I haven't got any."

As they ran past, the blonde jostled the boy, sending his bag flying.  Crash!

"Eureka!"  The geezer used a handkerchief to scoop up the contents of a broken glass jar.

"Sorry," the blonde said. "But you just got us out of a very sticky situation."

And got me into one.  Mickey scowled at the puddle of marmalade.


Prompt: Three, Mickey, Marmalade
