SCENE SIX. henderson

"hi." a kid smiled brightly at robin as he came to the front of the counter. 

"hi." robin replied. 

"i'm dustin." he smiled again. 

"i'm robin." she replied repeating his way of speech, it was rather interesting how he introduced himself. it was rather cute. 

"pleasure to meet you, uh, is. is he here?" he asked. and it hit her, steve and piper were still in the back. 

"is who here?" robin aked, even though exactly who he wanted. it was a child, so obviously steve. and the doors slammed open. the sailor appearing from behind it. 

"henderson!" he exclaimed looking at the boy, the two just watching them.

"you got the job!"

"i got the job!"

"it's kinda cute, in a dorky brother way." a voice beside ehr spoke as she watched the two intrect. doing some kind of handshake as the two girls just looked at them. 

"how many children are you friends with?'' robin commented the second the two had stopped doing whatever they just did, some kind of dorky handshake/lightsaber battle. 

"is this like a brother situation?" piper asked as she nodded to robin's comment. 

"dustin, robin and piper. piper and robin, dustin." steve introduced pointing between them, instructing the group. dustin smiled and waved at the two girls. 

"you two are very pretty." he smiled and the two girls went red under the boys' gaze. 

"want some ice cream?'' steve asked, looking at dustin, the boy nodding straight away. and the two walked off to a booth leaving robin on duty off the shop and piper was just there.

"hotter that phoebe cates? no.” steve exclaimed as he listened to dustin rant about a girl he had met during his month away at camp. 

"brilliant too. and she doesn't even care that my real pearls are still coming in. she said kissing is better without teeth.'' dustin replied as he shovelled a spoonful of the ice cream into his mouth. but steve wasn't looking at him. but instead a girl who sat on the counter behind robin who was ordering customers. the girl who was smiling as she sucked on the cherry pop he had given her.

"wow. yeah, that's great. proud of you, man. that's romantic."

"so do you really just get to eat as much of this as you want?" dustin asked as he ate another bit of his ice cream. 

"yeah, i mean. sure. it's not really a good idea for me, though. i gotta keep in shape for the ladies.” steve answered as he smiled at dustin before throwing a look to piper and back to dustin. and this time the boy caught it.

"yeah and how's that working out for you?"

"aw don't say that, steve, you're smoking hot. just say the word and we can go to the bathroom.'' piper added with a smile, and robin laughed as the girl threw a wink at steve. rolling his eyes at the pair. she didn't even know robin that well and they're practically like twins. 

"ignore them."

"she seems cool. she's really fucking pretty." dustin said, looking at robin, before looking at piper and whispering the last part. and steve nodded, at least dustin was right about something in that sentence. 

"where are the other knuckleheads?"

"they ditched me yesterday."

"no."

"my first day back. can you believe that shit?"

"whoa, seriously?" steve asked, leaning forward. 

"they don't deserve you, you're cool!" piper shouted and dustin's face split into a grin. which steve couldn't help but smile at too. 

"i really like her."

"join the club.'' steve mumbled, throwing another look to piper who was talking to robin about something, hearing the word boyfriend and he pulled away from their conversation. not wanting to hear any more. 

"they're gonna regret it, though, big time. when they don't get a share in my glory. "

"glory, what glory?"

"so last night, we're trying to get in contact with suzie. i intercepted a secret russian communication." dustin whispered to steve as he looked around to see who the people were. piper sat at a table near robin who was dealing with customers who were ordering a disgusting flavour to the looks on the two girl's faces. 

"what?"

"i intercepted a secret russian communication." he repeated again, only slightly louder. steve's face still twisted in confusion at what the boy was saying. 

"just speak louder." steve spat and a girl dropped into the seat beside dustin. 

"for fuck sake are you deaf, he intercepted a secert russian communication."

"jeez, shut up parker. that's what i thought he said."

"sureee." the girl smiled. 

"what does that mean?'' steve asked, turning to look back at dustin. concealing the smile on his face. 

"it means, steve, we could be heroes. true american heros.just think, you could have all the ladies you want and more." dustin added, steve's eyes going wide slightly. forcing himself to not look up at piper who had rolled her eyes at the pair.

"more?"

"more."

"i like it more." steve harrington. 

"what's the catch?"

"no catch, i just need your help."

"with what?"

"translation." the boy replied pulling a book from his bag and she could have rolled her eyes. a translation book. from russian to english- english to russian. 

"god you two are fucking dorks." she mumbled. but she didn't move away from the tale, instead just watched them softly.
