"Hey there kiddos! How may I help you?" The baker at the counter asked. While Arthur was sniffing around the place, and ingraining the smell into his psyche. Braxton, who has now been released, was wondering what he should try first. Ethan was still outside, pushing their car to a repair show, with the help of that one lady, and the man that he didn't see at first.
"How much for that thing right there?" Braxton points at the strawberry cupcake with pink sprinkles on it. "Yo! What 'chu want?" he starts prodding at Arthur's arm to get his attention. Arthur springs back into action with one big jolt.
"Huh?! Oh yeah… I'll have the same thing too…!" he says, clearly delirious from the amazing smell.
The baker crouches down, and grabs them both some pink cupcakes. He then hands them over gently. "That'll be $7.50! Will you be paying with cash or card?" Braxton hands the guy two crumpled five dollar bills, and says: "keep the change mister" before walking out, cupcakes in hand, and Arthur in tow.
They make it out of the bakery, and watch as Ethan is still at it towards the car repair store only 15 meters away. Braxton waves at them, and calls Ethan's name.
"You need help over there?!" He loudly asks him.
"Nah! I'm fine right now! Don't worry!" Ethan waves them away, and continues on his journey. They watched as the orange sky basks Ethan with this crazy aura around him. Making him look like a goddess of some sort. There was also a weird guy, ogling at him like crazy. Not even trying to hide it. They could tell that Ethan noticed him too, since his head was angled away from his general area. "Y'know what?! Could you guys meet me at that store over there?!" Ethan pointed with his foot, over to the place he was already going. Arthur and Braxton both nodded their head, and headed over there whilst taking mini bites of their sweet treat.
They make it over there, and see some random girl fixing up someone else's car, whilst having oil, and over shit that repairmen and women would have on them. She gets up from where she was sitting, and fixes up her orange hair for a second, before going back down. Arthur was instantly mesmerized by her looks. He zoned out for a second, and replayed that moment in his head repeatedly. Then Braxton snaps him out of it, and grabs his arm to drag him over there.
Once they got closer, she seemed to be their age, maybe a year older. With hazel eyes, and freckles all over the bridge of her nose. Her hair was curly, and in a half ponytail. She also had on overalls and gloves on. Arthur was completely wooed by her. He couldn't even take his eyes off her for a second.
"You okay there…?" She noticed his intense staring, which flustered him. And he had to hide his flushed face with his hands. Braxton watched this interaction, and immediately knew what was going on. A smirk etched itself across his face. "Y-yeah! I'm fine, just a little tired…" Arthur blurted out a bold face lie. He was super energetic when he was teasing Braxton about his worrying.
"Uh… ok? M'names Charlie! Nice to meet the both of you!" Charlie extended her hand to shake theirs. Braxton does, but the only thing Arthur does, is notice her heavy British accent. "What brings you guys around here?" She asked.
"Well, you see…" Braxton points at Ethan approaching the place with a car in hand. "Our car broke down, and we need someone to fix it…" He explained.
"Hol' on! Gimme a minute while I work on this guy's car, and I'll get crakin' on yours!" She waves them off to go do something else. Braxton begins to leave, but then notices that Arthur hasn't moved a smidgen of an inch. Braxton walks back, and grabs onto Arthur's arm, and tries to pull him away from her. Arthur stays put somehow, like he's anchored to the ground by some invisible chain.
'You… wanna watch me or 'some man?" Charlie asks, and Arthur nods his head instantly.
She gets up, and awkwardly pulls out a stool next to her. Arthur walks over, and sits down on it. She looks at him for a second, and his face goes red a little before looking at his flailing feet. Braxton is looking at Arthur being an idiot, but then he notices Ethan finally getting over here with the car.
"Thanks for the help! It means a lot!" Ethan shook hands with the two of them, as they waved and went back to whatever they were doing. Then he notices that Braxton was staring at something inside the repair shop, and goes over to see what it is.
"What's going on here?" Ethan asked with a warm smile on his face.
"Look." Braxton points at Arthur, who was staring at someone working intently. A smirk was placed onto Ethan's face when he saw that; and they both chuckled a little bit. Arthur heard them, and flipped the both of them off. Just then, some taller guy with orange curly hair walks behind Arthur, and says something to him.
"Stop looking at my sister like that." he says, scaring the living shit out of Arthur. She stops what she is doing and says: "calm down bro! Let him…" surprising the brother so much. His face was of disbelief. Then he saw that two other people were staring at all of them, and he called them over. They both strutted themselves over to them, with the biggest smirks on their faces known to man. Arthur sees them coming, and immediately signals them to halt in their tracks. They obviously don't.
"Are you guys with this kid?" the brother asked whilst pointing at Arthur.
"Yep." Braxton replies with. "You think you can fix our car for us?" the brother looks at the broken down car out front, and sighs.
"Sure, just gimme a minute… you guys can go sit somewhere I don't give a shit…" he goes into the back, to probably get some tools for the car. Ethan and Braxton, wiggles their way past Arthur in his stool, and find some stool of their own to sit on. They pull them out, and position them just right so that they could spy on Arthur and that Charlie girl. If only I had some popcorn.. Braxton thought as he sat on his respective chair.
"So uh…" Arthur speaks up. "Who was that tall guy?" he aksed.
"Oh him! He's Charles! He's my baby twin brother!" she announced.
