"How many calories does this have?" Aurora asks, pointing at a picture of a french vanilla frappe.

The barista in front of her let out a groan as her co-worker laughed. "103, ma'am."

"So, does it have sugar in it or can I get it sugar free?"

The group of four sat together in Starbucks. Carmen chewed on her chocolate chip cookies, watching in amusement as Aurora questioned everything on the menu. Zach, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off of Carmen.

Jonah stared openly at Aurora, amazed at her beauty. To an old man in the booth beside them, the sight was truly precious. He watched as the four interacted with smiles, finding the whole experience perfect.

"Most everything has sugar in it," the barista answers her question.

It had been nearly half an hour since they had entered Starbucks, yet Aurora still couldn't decide what she wanted, despite her many other encounters with the store.

"Are you sure?" The brunette furrows her eyebrows.

"Ma'am, I'm positive," the girl states, tapping her fingers against the counter impatiently. "So would you like to order?"

"I think I'll have a regular coffee. Just dump a bag of sugar in it," Aurora chuckles, turning to face the booth Carmen, Jonah, and Zach are seated at. "You hear that, Jonah? I like my coffee black, just like I like my-"

Carmen giggles, waiting for her to finish her sentence. Aurora glares at her jokingly.

"Why are you laughing, Caramel?" I was gonna say Oreos," she chuckles, looking at the cashier, who still stands with an angered expression. "Why are you just standing there, Jeanette? Shouldn't you be brewing my coffee?"

"My name is Jennifer."

"Hi, Jennifer. I'd like my coffee now, please. I dont think you'd like to meet my friend," Aurora reaches into her bag, earning a groan from Zach as she does so. "Would you?"

"What friend-?"

In an instant, Aurora pulls out her airhorn and pushes the button. The loud noise blares like a siren, scaring the employees and Carmen. Jonah and Zach, on the other hand, don't look surprised in the slightest.

She shoves her airhorn back into her bag before turning to the others.

"RUN! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL TODAY!"

Without even waiting on them, the girl goes sprinting out of Starbucks.

"I think I like the brown teddy bear," Carmen decides, scanning the shelves of unstuffed animals on display in Build-A-Bear Workshop. "What do you think?"

"I like the panda," Aurora squeals, pulling one of the shelf. "His name shall be Frederick."

"Frederick?" Zach questions, stretching to reach the bear for Carmen. "Why would you name it Frederick?"

"Because I like that name," she defends herself, sticking out her tongue childishly as she does so. "So his name is Frederick."

"Does Frederick have a last name?" Jonah asks, glancing at the panda as Carmen and Zach rush off to stuff her bear.

"Of course he does," Aurora scoffs. "It's Weasley."

"Fred Weasley." Jonah chuckles. "Is that the only reason you named him Frederick?"

"Would you think I was weird if I said yes?"
