˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Kat sat in the back room of Scoops Ahoy, reading a new book, Wuthering Heights. Robin was sitting across from her, becoming increasingly frustrated at the crossword puzzle she was working on.

"What's a seven letter word for purse?" Robin begrudgingly asked.

Kat thought for a moment, answering, "Satchel," without looking up from her book. She could see Robin aggressively shake her head no.

"No, it starts with an H."

Kat shrugged. "Handbag, then."

Robin loudly sighed, muttering curses and thank you's as she scratched in the letters. Suddenly, she shot up from her seat, scaring Kat in the process. "Girls," is all she got out, but Kat understood. She grabbed their scoreboard, the one with all the tally marks under the 'YOU SUCK' column.

Kat followed after Robin, watching the two girls faces start to crumple as Steve continued to speak. Steve started pressing buttons on the cash register—the wrong buttons—making it start to beep.

"Press cancel!" Kat shouted from the back.

Steve hung his head as the two girls walked away, Robin sliding into the open window with their board. "And another one bites the dust," she remarked as Steve turned around with a tight lipped smile. She drew a sixth line under 'YOU SUCK'. "You are oh-for-six, popeye."

Steve nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I can count."

"You know that means you suck," Kat added, a smug smile growing on her face.

"I can read, too."

Kat feigned confusion. "Really? Since when?"

Steve took another step forward, resting his elbows on the back counter. "It's this stupid hat, I'm telling you. It is totally blowing my best feature."
