It was that special time of year where the town hosted the "Taste of Charming" event at the local high school. Most of the guys were hiding in the shop or steering clear from the clubhouse since Gemma was on a warpath to make this year one of the best. Unbeknownst to her Emma walked into the garage with a basket full of banana nut muffins to see that everyone had cleared out of the building. When she turned around she saw Gemma heading in her direction with a hard expression. At that moment the young blonde knew she was gonna be roped into helping with the event so she thought it would be best to just comply with whatever she was asked to do.

"Hi Gemma how are you," Emma asked giving her a warm smile. 

"Well darlin' I'm mad as hell at these assholes. I can't find them when I need them and when I do find them they give me an half assed excuse as to why they can't help me."

Giving the Samcro Queen a smile the young blonde replied, "I can help you Gemma you know this by now, plus I have nothing better to do than to help one of my closest friends. What do you need me to do?"

As if a light had turned on Gemma gave a warm smirk, "Maybe you could get the guys to help out. I need them to move some of the tables out at the high school and put up a few of the tents. Plus Bobby will need help setting up the stage for all of the performances. I heard him mention that you might even grace us with a song as well."

"Oh I don't know," Emma said looking down with a faint blush creeping on her cheeks, "I don't usually sing in public. I'm better off by myself or even in the shower. I absolutely hate it when the guys come up on me when I'm singing. Chibs, Tig, and Hap are the worst ones when it comes to scaring the crap out of me when I'm singing by myself."

"Yeah I heard about that little Dolly Parton show you did for the guys while you were mopping."

To that Emma lifted her head up and gave a wide eyed expression, "Hey that was not for them! I was feeling in the moment and I mean come on it was Dolly Parton! She's like the Queen of country music! Plus she's one of the kindest people in the world."

Smirking down at the petite blonde Gemma said, "Alright, alright Dolly is pretty wonderful. Now darlin' can you please go get some of the guys to help out?"

Smiling warmly Emma replied, "Okay I'll go grab them." 

As she walked away she heard Gemma yell, "Oh and Emma can you please make two hundred of those cornbread muffins you made last week? I need them for my chili that I'm bringing to the high school on Friday."

"Okay Gemma I'll do it for you," with that she went into the club house to search for the guys. 

Walking around the clubhouse Emma looked all around for a sign of any of the guys and she couldn't find any of them. She then finally decided to check in the church and wasn't so surprised when she opened the door. Inside she found Juice, Jax, Bobby, Chibs, Opie, and Tig lounging around while drinking beers. 

"What in the hell are y'all doing in here," she asked with her hands on her hips. 

Hearing her voice all of the guys turned towards her with big eyes. Opie started to clear his throat, while gave a soft grin, Bobby tried to hide his beer, Juice tried to duck underneath the table, all while both Chibs and Tig gave her a wide grin through glassy eyes.

Jax was the first one to speak, "Oh hey Em how ya-"

"Don't you 'hey' me Jax Tellar," she said interrupting him as he spoke, "All of you are acting like a bunch of pansy asses rather than bikers! In here hiding from Gemma as she tries to set up this event at the school. Now I need half of you to go out to help set up the tables and tents while the other half of you go out to set up the stage for all of the performance for Friday night. Do you understand me!"
