The Juliet Dilemma

In Which Agent Cookie Returns

Anthony, Ivy, and Julie couldn't help themselves. Romeo was one of their closest friends. They had to spy on him. After all, to Ivy and Anthony, it was only fair. He had- with Julie's help- spied on their first date. Now they had to spy on his "date", as they liked to believe it wasn't a real one, with Rosie.

The three met at Puck's Creamy Dreams, the yogurt place they knew Romeo and Rosie were supposed to meet. They each ordered their favorite frozen yogurt flavor. Julie got raspberry lemon, Ivy got strawberry, and Anthony got mint.

Julie wore her favorite inconspicuous spy outfit of black sunglasses, a cherry red jacket, a black fedora, and her mom's black scarf. She just hoped Romeo wouldn't remember the familiar ensemble. He was a guy after all; how often did they remember clothes?

Ivy was looking rather normal, simply wearing a green hoodie pulled low over her face and a pair of her sister's fake glasses.

Anthony seemed to have forgotten that Romeo wasn't supposed to realize his friends were there as he hadn't even tried. Ivy shoved an extra pair of glasses onto his face, so that their plan wouldn't be foiled.

"Okay," Julie began in a quiet, almost whispering, tone. "We're going to need code names. And by we I mean you two."

Ivy raised an eyebrow. "You have a code name?"

In a flash Julie's face was rose pink. "It's Agent Cookie."

Her friends stared at her in disbelief. It took them a moment to fully realized Julie's nickname. They then, burst out laughing.

"That's so lame!" Ivy cracked up. "W-why?"

"Oh shut up." Julie grumbled, the pink not quite disappearing from her face. "Are you two going to keep laughing like hyenas or are you going to tell me your code name?"

"Agent McFly." Anthony stated. His friends gave him a curious look.

"Why?"

"Because Ivy and I's first date was at MARTY'S Smoothie Shack. Marty McFly? Get it?" Anthony said. Ivy smiled and laughed. She reached up to his height and ruffled his hair.

"You're such a dork." She chuckled. Julie rolled her eyes, suddenly feeling like a third wheel.

"How's it going with you two, by the way?" Julie wondered. They had arrived early so why not talk a bit?

"Good, at least I think so." Ivy announced honestly.

Anthony nodded, leaned over, and gave Ivy a peck on the cheek. Her face broke out in a wide grin.

"I get it. You like each other. Get a room." Julie rolled her eyes.

"Please, you and Romeo act way more like a couple then we do and you're not even dating!" Ivy teased.

"What's your code name?" Julie changed the subject.

"Agent Viper, because unlike the rest of you I want my name to sound badass." Ivy grinned, teasingly.

"What's Romeo's?" Anthony wondered.

Julie opened her mouth to answer, but as she glanced towards the door she noticed it slowly open. She saw a familiar red hoodie wearing hoodie. Julie couldn't help but notice the lack of emotion on his face.

"Shush he's here!" Julie stated.

It wasn't long before Rosie showed. Despite the fact that Rosie was usually a super sweet girl, Julie felt her face contort into a harsh expression. She couldn't help but glare at her classmate.

What was so great about Rosie anyway? Sure she was sweet, but that wasn't anything that special. There were plenty of nice girls Romeo could date. Even the thought of that made Julie's stomach turn.
