Peter is spinning on Foggys chair at the law firm on the Saturday afternoon. Matt and Foggy are whispering about something he could care less about and Wade is snooping when Karen walks in with food.
"What's in the box? I smell-" Peter perks up.
"Cupcakes" Matt interrupts.
Peter throws a paper ball at him only for him to catch it and turn his way with a smirk. Peter sticks out his tongue, he doesn't care if Matt can't see it.
"And I also found someone who is claiming their uncle forgot about them" Karen claims just as Betty walks in.
"Ohhh snap Nelson!" Wade gasps.
"You told me you'd meet me outside to bring me up. Karen's a lot nicer" Betty greets. "Hey Peter."
"It's three?! Matt this is your fault!" Foggy blames which makes them start to fight. Karen walks past them ushering Betty to follow and places the box down. Peter, Betty, Wade, and Karen all grab their cupcake while Matt and Foggy are still arguing. It's entertaining to watch so they don't mind but it sadly comes to an end. "I'm so sorry Betty. I wa-"
"It's fine, I didn't mind" Betty interrupts before turning to Karen. "These are really good. You should work as a part time chef."
"Thank you but journaling is more for me. I just like baking during my free time" Karen thanks.
"Which is why Betty's here" Foggy cuts in.
"Foggy told me you wanted to become a journalist. I'd be glad to work alongside you but I do have to let you know, this is a free internship. I'm lucky enough I'm even getting paid" Karen jokes at the end.
"What?! Are those people not coming here? I told them to come here!" Wade shouts.
"YOU!!" Peter gasps.
"Wait no Peter-" Wade begins.
"That contest was a secret and you told them!" Peter interrupts. "You're disqualified and I win."
"You can't do that! I probably rallied more people than you!" Wade argues.
"You guys do know we ask our clients how they find out about us, right?" Matt questions.
"Uhh yes?" Peter and Wade reply in unison.
"Peter wins" Matt informs.
"Ha! In your face!" Peter gloats.
"HOW?!" Wade screams.
"Word passes on through friends and relatives but it all came back to the same person. It could also be because they don't trust you Wade" Matt explains.
"But I had good intentions!" Wade protests.
"Wait, does this explain why I keep seeing their business cards around school because of this contest?" Betty connects the dots.
"You passed them out in school?! I should've broken in the other schools and do that!" Wade groans.
"A mysterious robber keeps slipping business cards in everyone's locker and in the teachers room. That was a really funny segment you and Jason did" Peter smiles at the memory.
"I thought Uncle Foggy broke into the school!" Betty recalls.
"He could never, he'd get caught" Peter shuts the idea down.
"That's rude! I break into a lot of places!" Foggy lies making Peter raise an eyebrow at him, questioning him.
"Name a place" Peter offers the go ahead.
"Your house" Foggy responds.
"Wade leaves the door unlock like all the time" Peter reasons.
"Matt's place" Foggy lists.
