"What the- Vera huffed, snatching the last big fried chicken from Robin's plate and taking a big bite.

"That's mine! Robin exclaimed as he watched her steal his fried chicken. He retaliated by grabbing a fried chicken from her plate, plus a fried potato, for good measure.

"That's mine!" Vera exclaimed, momentarily dazed. "Why are you being so stingy?"

"Who told you to steal my fried chicken?" Robin bit into his portion with gusto.

Rosalie, Piper, and Connor passed by and witnessed the scene.

Rosalie burst out laughing. "Haha!"

Vera paused, glaring at Robin, muttering. "You guys, fighting over a fried chicken!"

Rosalie rushed to the counter and ordered a fried chicken for each of them.

Piper glared at Robin from a distance, rolling her eyes. "Seriously? He's fighting a girl over a fried chicken?"

At their table nearby, Rosalie sat with Piper and Connor Robin and Vera waved at Rosalie, thanking her for the fried chicken.

Piper shot Rosalie a disapproving look. "Are you stupid? Why are you treating them? You're still seeking job: why are you so generous?

Rosalie stuck out her tongue. "I owe him for saving me this morning. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what would've happened."

"That man you're talking about-just look at him! Is that really the kind of hero who stands up for others? He's fighting with a woman over a fried chicken; what kind of future does he have?"
