David glowered, shoving his hands in his pockets. He was suddenly itching for liquor, which was never a good sign. "I'm sorry! I don't like him!"

Zippy sighed, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, too." She turned around and headed back inside.

He growled, kicking at a pile of snow. But he wasn't going back in there. He sat on a bench outside and waited.
Les peered up at Zippy when she came back to the table. "Where's Davey?"

"He is in a time out," Zippy told Les, with a sad smile. "But that doesn't mean the rest of us can't have fun! Finish your shake."

Les looked at her wide-eyed. "You can put him in a time out?? Wow..." He was clearly in awe.

Eli nodded. "Erin is the best. She's like, the queen of the world."

Les nodded dumbly. "Oh, I bet." Then he tilted his head in a curious sort of look. "So how come ya want Davey then? He's boring."

Zippy chuckled, nibbling on a french fry. "no he's not! He took me to the zoo and it was so much fun! Has he ever taken you to the zoo?"
Eli finished off his burger and cleared his throat. "bathroom! Be right back." instead, he went outside and sat down next to Dave. "don't make Erin choose between us, man. it isn't fair."

Les nodded, munching on an onion ring. "Yeah, lotsa times. Took me to Coney Island once, too." He shrugged. "I guess he's okay."
David huffed, slouching on the bench, arms folded across his chest. "I'm not making her choose. If I was, I'd tell her so."

"and he cares about you so much," zippy pointed out, stealing the rest of Eli's milkshake.
"Then why you sitting out out here pouting instead of in there?" Eli asked, lookin at him.

Les blushed, giving her a grin. "Guess so."
David glanced over at him, brows knit. "Look, just 'cause Zip's ready to welcome you back with open arms, doesn't mean I think you deserve it."

"fair enough, but you acting like this ain't helping. I'm not sure how I feel about you, either. That's my baby sister," Eli pointed out and stood up. He went back into the diner, and slid back into the table. "anyone want anything else?" he asked zippy and les.
Zippy shook her head. "nope. I'm full!"

He sighed. He hated having to admit when other people were right. Almost as much as having to admit he was wrong. He stood up, waiting for them to come out.
Les bounced out of the booth. "Snowman time!"

"Aw, Les, I don't think there's enough snow for a snowman yet," zippy said with a frown, looking out the window. Eli shushed her.
"not true!" Eli laughed as they stepped outside, making their way to David. "we'll make it work! Besides, davey will help and he knows how to do everything. Isn't that right, Dave?"

David gave them all a weak attempt at a smile. "Yeah, sure." He moved over to Zippy. "Walk with me? Please?"
