This was originally supposed to be part of Chapter 9 of Avocado, but, and because of the jarring nature of this short, I decided to post it as an interlude before I upload Chapter 9. However, I might merge this interlude with the eventual Chapter 9, which will be centered around Avocado’s “graduation”, and coming-of-age as a fully-grown adult fluffy.

an Interluder is an old term for an actor participating in an Interlude. I also decided to use it as its a portmeanteau of “Interlude” and “Intruder”

the hardest part to translate in the nursery rhyme at the start was “my fair lady”, as common hivecanon has fluffies say “fwuffy” as a personal pronoun, but it would be one syllable too many for the verse. That said, one of the recurrent tags on the booru was “who am nice whady”. I imagine that am could double as a replacement for both “fwuffy” and “ou”, as well as “is”, depending on context (like in this case, a rhyme)

though meant to be read after Chapter 8 and before Chapter 9, this interlude most likely took place before Christmas
