(Taking a quick break before the next chapter of the story, here's another separate story that takes place all the way in December of 2022)
----------------

*Robin and Badger take a walk around the studio, catching up with each other*

Badger: So the thing is, I don't know who is running that shop but they need to learn to know the difference in the lugnuts.

Robin: Uh-huh.

Badger: There's no way that this thing is going to fit my moped. There's just no way.

Robin: Yeah, that's... crazy.

Badger: I'm boring you with this, aren't I?

Robin: Nah, I listened, your lugnuts are hanging.

Badger: No but... Anyways, I'm hoping that my garage isn't going to fall from this weather, it's getting colder after all.

Robin: I'm sure it'll be fine.

*Robin and Badger turn a corner to see everyone decorating for Christmas*

Badger: Can you honestly say that? Squirrel's tree house collapsed and I had to help her move her stuff out and share the storage space with me.

Robin: Yeah, that was a tough winter.

*Robin looks up at Badger only to find Rockhopper helping to decorate the tree*

Badger: She had a lot of stuff, I know we weren't together at the time, but it was nice to help her out.

*Rockhopper turns and sees Robin staring, she smiles and waves, he nods coyly*

Badger: I'm gonna see if I can find some sound wall framing and, maybe some-  Steel!! I need steel, that's always solid...

Robin: Excuse me..

*As Badger is waffling about his garage, Robin takes a deep breath, he brushes down his red breast and walks up to Rockhopper. He clears his throat, which catches her attention*

Rockhopper: Oh Robin, hello.

Robin: Hey, I got a few days off, you wanna do something together?

Rockhopper: You mean, like a date?

Robin: No, not like a date, a date. I'd like to go out with you.

*Mushroom and Panda turn to a very surprised Rockhopper*

Mushroom/Panda: Ooooooooooh~

Rockhopper: Oh, wow. S-sure, I'd love to.

Robin: Heh, ok great. I'll uh, I will pick you up this evening, say around maybe 5?

Rockhopper: Yeah, I'm down for that.

Robin: Terrific. I look forward to it.

*Robin walks away, his smile growing bigger with each pase*

Badger: Hmmm, I don't think this part is going to fit.

Robin: You still on that thing?

Badger: I've been talking about it the whole way in, where were you in the conversation?

Robin: Well, actually I have a date this evening.

Badger: Oh way to go, man! Rockhopper?

Robin: Yep, I finally did it. So, I have a couple hours until then.

Badger: Took you long enough, but I'm proud of ya buddy.

*A few hours later, Rockhopper is just fixing up her crest*
