"Good morning, tweedle dee and tweedle dumb!" Jade said as Robin and Steve entered the kitchen.

Robin yawned and rubbed her eyes."What the hell are you doing up so early?"

"I'm making you guys breakfast."

"Thanks babe." Steve said placing a kiss to Jades head. "Hey-you...you took a shower without me?!"

Jade laughed. "You were asleep, Steve."

"...Mhm." Steve said.

"I know you both have work right now but when you get back maybe we can go see Max and then maybe do something after." Jade suggested.

"What do you mean? You're coming with." Steve said.

"I'm not going with you while you're at work."

"Why not?" Robin asked.

"Because you'll be working, I don't want to get in the way."

"You're coming." Steve pressed.

"No, I'm not."

Steve sighed. "What if I hire you...For the week."

"What?"

"He's right, we've been down a person recently, could really use an extra hand." Robin said.

"Well...I mean if you insist." Jade finally said as Robin and Steve cheered.

"Then Vickie laughed. And it wasn't like a cheap, fake laugh either. It was like...It was a real, genuine laugh." Robin said as they put up movies on the shelf.

"Of course she laughed. It's Jades Muppet joke. It's hilarious." Steve said.

"Don't be an ass, Steve. Robin that's sweet, and a good start. You should hang out with her. "

"Thank you, Jade. My point is that Vickie laughed and everything was just like...It was perfect."

"But?" Steve and Jade both said.

"But I'm having this problem where it's like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my...my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or...or rather my...my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it's like I'm digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I'm trying to stop, but I can't. And I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"

"Yeah, you are." Jade and Steve both said.

Robin exhaled and leaned her back against the wall. "Oh, I'm hopeless."

"Robin, you're not hopeless." Jade said walking over to Robin.

"Yeah, you just have to play the waiting game a bit with Vickie, you know ask her to hang out..."

"Then slowly make a move." Jade finished.

"Ugh, I suck. Ooh, I think I found our morning movie." Robin said running to the other part of the store. "Doctor Zhivago."

"Ugh, you know I don't do double VHS." Steve said.

Jade started to laugh to herself. "Doctor Zhivago? Don't you mean Doctor Zharkov." Jade said as Robin and Steve just stared at her. Her laughing slowly stopped. "You know the Russian doctor that drugged and almost killed us." Jade said again.

"Yeah we know." Robin said staring wide eyed at Jade.

"Sorry, too soon?" Jade as Robin and Steve nodded.

"Way too soon." They both said.

Robin shook her head and regain her train of thought "But, anyway, it's about doomed love."Robin said.
