The beginning of '86

1 - Beginning

The door opened and a happy looking Dustin appeared at the counter of the video shop.

 "Quit trying to flirt with her, we both know Pam doesn't want a thing to do with you!" Robin snickered.

 "Oh yea, Robin? You into her or something?" Steve replied.

 Robin playfully shoved him and Steve laughed. 

"Hello, Dustin, '' Steve said, putting both of his elbows on the counter. 

"Hello, Stevey. Okay so listen, I brought my good friend Jonathan here because he wants to see some.. tapes."

 Robin tried not to laugh and Steve nudged her in the shoulder. 

"N-not anything.. weird if that's what you're thinking, haha." Jonathan said, being shoved forward by Dustin.

 Steve crossed his arms as Robin looked into his eyes. His big, baggy eyes, Robin thought. "Okay Jonathan, what are you looking for?" Robin asked. 

Jonathan sighed, "Dustin, I can't." Jonathan said as he walked out the video shop door. Dustin went chasing after him out the door. 

"What in fucks sake was that?" Steve exclaimed as a group of girls walked into the store. Robin laughed and messed with Steve's hair. 

"Hey, not while the ladies are here!" Steve said nervously, looking at the girls while they shot him disgusted looks. 

The bell on the door rang again as a curly-haired girl fidgeting with her hands walked in with a satchel. "Hey, Steve. Uhm, have you seen Jonathan?" Robin turned around because she wanted nothing to do with Nancy, and began flipping through some videos. 

Nancy swallowed her cheeks and Steve began talking to her. Nancy, the slut. How did Steve end up dating someone like her? Robin put a hand over her face and frowned. 

"Okay, thanks, Steve. Thanks for telling me, I guess.. can I stay?" Nancy asked, brushing her hair behind her ear.

 "Oh, yeah." Steve responded.

 "Who's that girl over there? Is she your girlfriend?" Nancy questioned. Robin turned around. "Nancy, if you want him back thats okay, just know me and him are never going to date. Ever. Only friends, platonic with a capital P." Robin snapped.

 Nancy looked pretty taken aback and looked at the ceiling, trying not to cry. Why was this girl being so rude to me? Though Nancy wouldn't give up and walked over to Robin's side of the counter on the opposite side of her and looked at the rack of CD's she was looking through.

"Hey.. are these the Bee Gee's?" Nancy asked, chuckling.

 "God, uhm, yea. You know them?" Robin replied, shooting a question at Nancy.

 "Hell yea, who doesn't?" 

Robin chuckled, "You've got a point, Wheeler." Nancy looked at more of the CDs.

 "You were snapping at me just a minute ago, and now we're getting along, isn't that nice?" Nancy asked.

 Steve rolled his eyes and came by Robin's side, patting her shoulder.

 "Oh, hey again-" Nancy cleared her throat- "Steve." Steve looked at the CD Nancy was holding.

 "Heyy, you like Guns n Roses, Nance?" Nancy gulped,

 "No, I was just looking at some CDs-" Robin interrupted "You haven't listened to them? Oh God they're so good" Nancy nodded and handed Robin the CD.

 "Can you.. uhm, play this? So I know it's good. I wanna know whether I should buy it or not." Nancy asked.
