It was a cloudy Saturday afternoon as the seven teens, Zoe, Pepper, Penny Ling, Minka, Sunil, Vinnie and Russell had decided to meet over at the cafe for lunch. They were seated at a round table booth by the window, so all they could see was the pouring rain from the outside. It was raining heavily at this point.

They had ordered a round of hot chocolate (without the marshmallows due to a specific fear someone maintains...), and a cheese pizza, which they were still waiting on. In the meantime, the 7 were conversing about their daily lives, school, and such.

"Ah...I'm so glad we're in here rather than out there..." Zoe sighed as she looked out the window. The others murmured in agreement. Minka however, raised a brow in confusion.

"Why wouldn't you want to be out there? It would be so much fun to just jump around the mud puddles!" She grinned.

"If I was 5 years old maybe..." Zoe muttered as she took a sip from her hot chocolate, earning a slight frown from her usually bubbly friend. Russell noticed this and quickly interjected.

"If you like to jump on the puddles, then that's totally fine!"

"Yeah! Zoe's just missin out on the fun!" Pepper smirked, earning a glare from the diva.

"Speaking of the rain, isn't it strange that it's pouring so much?" Penny Ling asked, changing the subject before things get out of hand.

"Well yeah! I thought it was gonna be sunny today..." Vinnie shrugged.

"Weather reporters are so erratic nowadays..." Russell shook his head as he leaned back.

"Oh? And can you report the weather, genius?" Pepper smirked.

"If I was interested maybe..." He plainly responded.

"Really? I think you'd make a great weather reporter person!" Minka grinned. He perked up at her sudden response.

"Do you think so?" He sheepishly grinned back.

"Oh of course!" She giggled.

"Gee thanks..." He slightly blushed, smiling.

"Oh now you consider it..." Pepper muttered, making Zoe chuckle.

"Obviously because she is the one encouraging him, darling." Zoe smirked.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Minka asked, confused.

"Oh nothing..." Zoe winked at her.

"Oh hey! The pizza is here!" Vinnie grinned as the waiter placed the food on the table. As soon as he left, the teens could only stare at the large pizza.

"Wow! This looks really good!" Penny Ling giggled.

"You can say that again!" Sunil smiled.

The seven teens each grabbed a slice, beginning to eat.

5 minutes have passed by as they continued to discuss about other things. They each already had 2 slices. All seven reached in for another slice, but there was one problem...

There was only one left.

"So...who gets that slice?..." Vinnie obviously asked. They all stared at each other in silence.

"I think I should get it!" Pepper grinned.

"That is not fair! Why do you get it?" Sunil frowned.

"Obviously, because I got a tiny slice!"

"Yes, but you also ate the largest slice on the plate." Russell reminded her, earning a glare.
