'Ice cream for life'

Erica takes a look into the vent and I smile. If we all know Erica Sinclair, we know she'll want something in return. I don't blame her, it would be a fair deal after all. I would agree to anything she said but, she's one of my favourite so I'd do anything she would say.

"Yeah, I don't know." She notes, walking towards the blueprints and resting her arms either side. "You don't know if you can fit?" Dustin questions as Erica looks at him in disbelief. I look towards Yura and se her smiling, already taking a liking into little Miss Erica Sinclair.

"Oh, I can fit. I just don't know if I want to." She says innocently while smiling. "Don't blame, I wouldn't trust them either." Yura backs her up, only to earn a glare from Dustin. "Are you claustrophobic?" Robin questions, while Steve wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"I don't have any phobias." She snickers, shaking her head slightly in a sassy way. "Of course you don't, your Erica Sinclair." I smile as she flicks her hair sassily and Yura claps. Us three would be unstoppable. A whole group of Me, Yura, Robin, Nancy, Erica, Max and El would be unstoppable. All women together, nobody could stop us even if they dared.

"Okay well, what's the problem?" Steve questions shaking his head. "The problem is, I still haven't heard what's in this for Erica." She states tapping the blueprints. Steve bites his lips harshly as he looks down to me.

All the ice cream you could think of was placed around her. All the flavours and whipped cream she has with a free drink. Heaven is what it is. Me and Yura huddle close together next to Erica as Steve passes down a classic Sunday as we all stare at her.

She smiles and passes the tray back down to Steve. "More fudge, please." She says politely as Steve flickers his eyes down. Yura tries hard to hold in her laughs but couldn't help but let one escape. She waves her hand. "Go on" she encourages as he smiles lightly and takes the Sunday back.

"Erica, because me and Yura are practically your favourites right now..can we have an ice cream?" I question with a smile as she looks at me lovingly. "Yeah, don't let Dustin steal one." She announces as we pick up the one we want the most. "Erica we haven't met before but I'm Yura and you're the most interesting kid I've met." Yura says fascinated with Erica as she stands up for herself. They have that in common.

"Yeah, well you cant spell America without Erica." She whispers to us as Robin holds out the blueprints and explains to Erica what's going to happen as me and Yura sit and listen while eating our ice creams. "And you say this guard is armed?" She questions as we nod. "Has a gun and everything." I announce as she turns to me. "And booby traps?" "Booby traps?" Robin questions as Erica looks at her dumbfounded.
