Stepping outside Robin inhales the clear crisp smell of a cool fall day. The air smells of freshly fallen leaves and has a slight wind just barely blowing through it. Shifting her book bag, she trudges down the sidewalk humming a sweet melody to herself. It's the weekend and she's heading to the One Stop Bake Shop, to advertise cupcakes.
"Robin!" A voice calls from across the street. Looking round her head swerves from side to side, until she spots a small object in the door way of a house.
"Jung Hee! I didn't know you lived near me!"
"Come, come, come!" She says motioning her to her front door. The house is slightly identical to Robin's fathers, except it is a light yellow.
"Is this outfit not right?"
"Huh?" Robin questions getting slightly confused by Jung Hee's heavy accent.
"My parents think outfit is to...hoochy? Is it?" Jung Hee clarfies.
Inspecting her clothes, Robins eyebrow cocks up wondering how they even got the idea. Jung Hee is dressed hipster style, mini jean skirt, off white patterned tights, brown ankle boots with laces, a floral tank top, and a top knot bun. The only skin showing is on her face and her hands!
"Uhhh no! She is most defineatly not hoochy!" Robin tries to explain to Jung Hee's parents. They give her a blank look. Then mutter enthusiastically to each other.
"They are learning english, not very fluent yet." she tells Robin. While Jung Hee explains to her parents that her outfit is not slutty, two hands fly over Robins eyes and cover them.
"Guess who?" a deep husky voice says.
"Uhhh?"
"Common baby, it's really not that hard." the voice taunts getting closer and going another octive deeper. Completely tongue tied, Robin snaps the hand up to get a good look at the mysterious person.
"Peter!?" She shrieks feeling her cheeks redden. Cackling at her facial expression both him and Jung Hee taunt her for how she reacted. Still laughing Robin takes off walking down the side walk.
"If you guys are finished making fun of me, I'd like to ask why are you following me?" She says kicking the leaves in her path.
"Were gonna help Clark's mom advertise her cupcakes, of course." Peter says walking up and drapping an arm around her in a friendly manner. Jung Hee skips up an links her arm through hers.
"Yea! It will be fun." she sings forcing all of them to skip along with her. Robin and Jung Hee skip down the street singing oldies songs, while Peter trips along trying to figure out how to skip. Arriving at the shop, they look round to see the decor. Red and gold cover everything in the shops yard! There's a swarm of girls young and old trying to get Clarks attention, while a swarm of guys buzz around his older sister. The twins are no where to be found but they'll eventually show up with something broken. Spotting his friends, Clark excuses himself from his fans and jogs over to them.
"Dude, feel free to take my place anytime." Clarks huffs catching his breath.
"Don't mind if I do." Peter replies wagging his eyebrows and taking an apron.
"Aight, so there are aprons over there, Robin you can work on making the sample cupcakes, and Jung Hee you work with me." Clark commands. Jung Hee and Clark work on winning over the customers, with Clark looks, and Jung Hee's over peppiness the release of the new cupcakes is crowded with customers! Three hours of hard work pass, and they gather round a curb to indulge on lunch. They crunch and munch on sandwiches, grapes, and carrots, not to mention a cupcake or two.
