The next day, we went back to Scoops to see Robin and Steve again, because Dusty said he needed to show Steve something. Dustin had gotten a sundae and we decided to sit at a booth to talk for a while minus Robin.

"No, no. No way, hotter than Phoebe Cates?"  Steve said, in complete disbelief. "Mhm." Dustin said, trying to eat his sundae. "Brilliant, too. And she doesn't even care if my real pearls are coming in! She says kissing is better without teeth." I pursed my lips, trying to hold back my laughter. "How come I'm just hearing about this Suzie, Dusty?" I asked with a huge toothy grin. Dustin looked at me making a sarcastic face. "Wow. Yeah, that's great! Proud of you man. That's r- that's kinda romantic." I started giggling at Steve, trying to find the right words. "That's like.. wow." Dustin let out a hum. "So do you really just get to eat as much of this as you want?" "Yeah, I mean sure. It's not really a good idea for me, though.. y'know, I gotta keep in shape for the ladies." Yeah right..

"Yeah, and how's that working out for you?" Robin said loudly. "Ignore her." He said to me and Dustin. "She seems cool." I said grinning. "She's not." Steve said, slightly shaking his head. "You're just saying that because she doesn't like you." He ignored me and continued talking to Dustin. "So, where are the other knuckleheads?" "They ditched me yesterday." he said. "What? Seriously?" I said a little louder than I should have, my face scrunched up. "No.." Steve said his eyes widening. "My first day back!" Dusty exclaimed, looking back and forth at Steve and I. "Can you believe that shit?" "Whoa. Seriously?" Steve asked, acting like I didn't just ask that. "I swear to God.." Dusty said trailing off, eating the ice cream in front of him. "Mm, they're gonna regret it though. Big time, when they don't get to share in my glory." 

"Glory?" I said, "What glory?" Steve finished. Dusty readjusted his position, "So last night, we were trying to get in contact with Suzie.. and uh.." Dustin looked around the joint, and I was just waiting for him to finish the damn sentence. He finally came back to his senses, "I intercepted a secret Russian communication." He whispered. Steve and I looked at each other, and then Dustin, "What?" "Uh," Dusty then inhaled, "I intercepted a secret Russian communication." He said, so soft that we still couldn't hear. But I wasn't really paying attention to them anymore. I was paying attention to the very beautiful, sarcastic, girl serving ice cream at the counter. I could stare at her all day. When I stopped daydreaming, I realised her eyes were on me, and she was smiling slightly. I quickly looked away, embarrassed I was caught. 

"Just speak louder." Steve said, sounding fed up with him. "I intercepted a secret Russian communication!" He said, kinda yelling. The whole places eyes were set on our booth. That just made me more embarrassed because one set of those eyes were Robin's. "Jeez, sh, okay, that's what I thought you said." Steve said staring off into space for a few seconds. "Wha- what does that mean?" "It means Steve, Y/n, we could be heroes. True American heroes." Dusty said, smiling. "Huh.." Steve said, also smiling. "God, you guys are idiots." I interrupted them from their "glory". They clearly ignored me, again. "American heroes.." Steve repeated, sounding more happy by the second. "Just think, you could have all the ladies you want and more."  

"More?"

"More."

"I like more." 

They nodded their heads, like the idiots they are.

"What's the catch?" Steve asked. "No catch, I just need your guys' help." Dustin said, looking at me.. staring at Robin..  "Hey! Y/n!?" He clapped in my face, making me flinch and look at him. "What do you want, you stupid fuck?" I asked, smiling sheepishly trying to act like he didn't just catch me staring at a girl I don't have a chance with.

He scoffed, getting closer to Steve whispering something in his ear.

"Holy fuck!" Steve said loudly, and they both started laughing. "What.. is so funny" I asked. "Oh my God, you like Robin!" Steve said pointing at me, still laughing. "What?! I do not! I just met her.." I said, smacking his arm away. But he was right. I did like her, already. "Oh m- anways, with what?" Steve said still grinning at me. 

Dustin pulled a book out of his backpack. He held it up to both of us.

"Translation."
