"I told you she took my penny Mush. Why did you question me?" Sunshine asked as she held out her hand for Mush to take and help her up.

"I don't know she seemed like she was telling the truth."

"Mush don't fall for that. It's her job to look honest. She's just doing..."

Mush cut her off in mid sentence. "Look Sunny, you were sitting on the penny the whole time. The girl was telling the truth."

Sunshine stared at the penny for a few seconds before picking it up. She put it in her pocket and walked in the direction that she saw Bobbie go. As soon as she was out of Mush's sight she begun running as fast as she could. Until she saw her, walking up the street. By the time Sunshine reached her she was completely out of breath.
Bobbie turned her head and saw Sunshine walking beside her. Bobbie rolled her eyes, sighed, and began speaking

"You finally realize that I wouldn't, and didn't try to steal from you?" Bobbie said with no forgiveness in her voice.

"You were right, I should have believed you. I'm not having an easy time and I took it out on the first person I could. I'm really sorry, could you please find in you're self to forgive me." Sunshine said with the most convincing look on her face.

"You really could sell a polar bear ice couldn't you." Bobbie said.

"Too bad polar bears don't want newspapers." Sunshine replied with a smile.

"Yeah, sure I forgive ya." Bobbie said brushing her fingers through her hair. "Ya can even keep the penny. Think of me every time you see it." She said clutching her heart jokingly.

"Ha, No thank-you, every time I see it I'll think if what a witch I was."

"Don't be to hard on you're self. Every one has to keep one hand on their money at all times these days." Their was a pause. "Don't ya have to go buy and sell newspapers? ya know it's not that hard of a process." Bobbie said with a smirk.

"Oh, I'm sorry for that too. I really did treat you bad for no reason, didn't I?"

"Ya but I don't mind I'm just playing with you. I'm treated worse by people I consider friends."

"That's sad, why don't you come sell with me today to make up for my rudeness. I might just give you half of my earnings." Sunshine offered.

"I'll go with you. Not because I feel like you owe me something, but because I've got nothing better to do and I'll take all the money I can get." Both of the girls laughed as they walked back to the place where Sunshine said they would buy their papes.

"Whose that smug boy with the cowboy hat?" Bobbie asked making a mental list of people to completely blow off.

"That must be Jack. Though he's never really hit me as the smug type, but he's been a little moody since he broke up with his girl of the week. Though were all used to this, we go through it about once a month. He bounces back really fast, but while he's in his low stage he's a real jerk." Sunshine said kinda making sense of it in her head at the same time she was talking about it. "What did he do to you to make you call him smug?"

"I guess it's kinda silly now, but when I asked him what everyone was doing he just gave me some smart-mouth answer and looked at me like he was better than me. Ya know just jerkie things."

"Is 'jerkie' even a word?" Sunshine asked laughing.

"It is today." Bobbie replied. They talked the rest of the way back.

i just thought i woulsd let everyone know that the title of the chapter is a variation of a Lion King quote for two reasons 1. it's one of the best movies ever 2. for my best friend Shelby who definitely agrees. I told you Sunshine would be nicer in this chapter.
