Bonnie's Permanent Eyeshadow Experiment ( a short story by A)

     One time Bonnie wanted to go into the cosmetic making business. She had her demonstration set up for 3:45. She looked down at her tiny suit and smoothed out wrinkles. Then, Bonnie checked her watch. It was 3:44. She rushed into the room with her product.
"Hello, are you Bonnie?" a dressed up woman behind a shiny desk asked.
"Yeah!" Bonnie answered, turning her chin up.
"Okay, Bonnie, what are you going to be showing us today?"
"I call it 'Permanent Eyeshadow!" Bonnie took the blanket off. Under it was a small bottle with a shiny brown liquid inside.
"Will you demonstrate this 'Permanent Eyeshadow' for us please?" said the lady sweeping her hand in front of her and the other two men. The men cocked their heads at Bonnie's specimen.
"Okay, so you just put this on your eye-caps, Lady...just like this..." said Bonnie applying the 'eyeshadow'.
"Ahh...I see. Interestesting," the lady said.
 "And did you, by any chance, test this to see whether or not it was permanent, or at least lasts long enough that it's almost permanent?" The man to Bonnie's left questioned.
Bonnie batted her ridiculously brown eyelids at him and said, "Do I really have to?"
A nod was her response.
The lady spoke up. "Yes, it is necessary for advertising purposes."
Bonnie was silent.
"So, what are the contents of your bottle there?" the lady asked suspiciously.
Bonnie squinted. "Eth...yl...ac...e...tate, nitro...wha? Oh, nitrocell...u...lose, gly...col, cal...cal...see...ummm....Yes, er, calcium alumin..um, boro...borosil..acate," Bonnie sputtered.
"And this is an original creation?" The lady was getting more suspicious by the minute. Bonnie could see it too and was getting more and more nervous.
"Um...Yes!" Bonnie squeaked.
"Funny. It sounds just like Wet-n-Wild Megalast nail polish that I happen to be wearing." The lady held out her glittering fingernails.
Bonnie chuckled nervously. "Uh, why, yes... weird. You're using it as fingernail polish."
The lady gave Bonnie the stink-eye. Bonnie batted her eyelashes again, and chortled.
"Okay, I've seen enough!" the lady exclaimed.
With that, Bonnie waddled back out of the conference room, 'her' product in wing, flew all the way back home.


And by the way, that nail polish did not come off for three weeks. When Chevy saw, he laughed so hard that it started that huge earthquake in Japan last year. Chevy was very sorry and hopes to eat to repair the damages.

The End.
