Little Wonders
Sheen Estevez strolled down the sidewalk in his usual, confident skip. He raised his head to the sky with a smooth toothy grin expressed on his face. He wore his captivating Ultra Lord shirt without a hint of embarrassment. As he entered the Candy Bar, he spotted the curl of his best friend's hair that stood out more than the hand he waved in the air to catch his attention.
Carl, his chunky, other best friend sat impatiently, waiting for the arrival of candy. The pair had ordered an extra bucket of exquisite candy that needed to be hand picked from the back room. The new candy had just arrived and Sam, the strange owner, hadn't finished sorting out the shipment of candy. Carl was disappointed that the new candy wasn't yet on display for his glorified stomach to witness.
Jimmy scooted over for Sheen to slid next to him, "Sheen, we just finished ordering some new candy! After Sam brings it, we'll be leaving to the lab because I want to show you guys my newest invention,"
"Oh, another invention? Is it one that will turn me into a suitable side kick for Ultra Lord?"
Jimmy squinted, "No, I haven't gotten the right calculations down for that invention, yet,"
Sheen's toothy grin vanished, "Oh."
"What invention is it, Jimmy? Tell me now before I lose interest when I get my candy!" Carl jumped in his seat.
Jimmy raised his hands, palms faced up, hoping to calm Carl. He leaned over his elbow on the table, ready to whisper the delicate details when Sam came happily out of the back room with Carl's candy. Carl immediately lost all the suspense that built up for Jimmy's reveal when his eyes caught sight of the tender buckets.
Sheen pointed toward the buckets, "Carl, you are going to share, right?"
"Alright, I guess I'll just tell you all about it when we get to the lab," Jimmy ripped his elbow from the table, following after Sheen as the group left to head to the lab.
Just as Jimmy reached for the glass door, he could see clearly the two girls that swayed just ahead. They were heading for the Candy Bar and Jimmy groaned at the blonde who's neutral expression twisted at the sight of his ridiculous hair. He could feel the ground shake as she stomped to the bar.
Sheen raised a brow at the halt when he caught sight of the dark skinned beauty. He licked his thumb, running it across his eye brow, lifting it up as he prepared himself to strike a pose in his captivating shirt. Carl couldn't contain himself any longer and delved into his delicious buckets.
Cindy Vortex and Libby Folfax graced their way into the Candy Bar, with Cindy practically shattering the glass from the force she used to open the door. She planted herself in front of Jimmy, "Nerdtron! Way to ruin my day!"
"You're the one ruining my day!"
Sheen made his move toward Libby, "So, what brings your here?"
Libby rolled her eyes, "The same reason everyone else is makin' their way in here: new candy,"
"I came here for candy, not to run into the biggest nerd!" Cindy stressed her hands into fists at her sides.
Jimmy reached for Carl and Sheen, "Let's go, guys, my new invention is waiting,"
Cindy gawked at Jimmy's lack of response. Her ears grabbed onto the detail of a new invention, watching as Jimmy dragged his friend out of the bar. Libby sighed with relief once Sheen's cries of protest were silenced by the glass door. Cindy looked over to Libby before ordering their own bucket of new candy.
"Nerdtron has a new invention and he is only showing those dimwits what it is!"
"And since when are you interested in any of Jimmy's inventions?" Libby sighed out.
"Since he doesn't want to let anyone know about it,"
Libby sighed, "I s'pose you want to sneak a peek at his new invention, don't ya?"
"You know me too well, Libby," Cindy picked a candy from the bucket with a sky smile, "After our candy?"
Libby unwrapped her candy, "Why not?"
