Dave grunted as he helped Spencer up from the boardwalk ramp, laughing gently as he watched him wipe the sand off his pants. "You ok?"

"Yeah no, I'm fine."

Emily smiled up to Aaron as they walked up the boardwalk to their job for the summer, their arms brushing together. "So where are you from?"

The older boy shrugged. "Northern Rhode Island. You?"

"MiddleOak New York. It's just outside the city."

Aaron nodded, looking down into the girl's chocolate eyes. "So do you go to the city much?"

"Yeah," she smiled. "I was actually born in Manhattan and moved when I was four."

The older man gently bit her lip. "So is that where you met your boyfriend? Manhattan?"

Emily felt her brows furrow. "What?"

"Your boyfriend."

The brunette let out a laugh as they walked into their new job. "I don't have a boyfriend."

Aaron frowned. "What do you mean? One of the girls thought you did."

Emily bit her lip. "I haven't even talked to any girl besides Penny yet."

"So you don't have a boyfriend?"

Emily felt herself smile wide up to the brunette at her side, her head nodding. "I'm single." She let out a small laughed when he smiled back at her. "And what about you? Single or tied down?"

Aaron laughed. "Single."

JJ rudely cleared her throat behind them, breaking their connection. "If you don't mind, some people are trying to pay attention."

The brunette quietly turned back around before walking towards the counter in the back of the store.

"Hi guys, I'm Ronnie. I own the gelato shop here, the mini golf down the boardwalk and the house you all are staying in," he smiled. "Tomorrow will be your first day working, but right now is the time to get all your schedules."

Spencer immediately picked up the first schedule and wrote his name down on top, knowing he wouldn't want to think much about it.

**Confessional**

"My brains are definitely better suited for a lab or something that isn't menial," the genius srugged. "I guess they don't have those here in Jersey."

**Confessional**

Emily picked up the next one, smiling down to the white sheet of paper when she realized it was for the gelato shop. "Nice."

Aaron and JJ's got theirs next, the blond frowning when she realized he was in the gelato shop with Emily while she got the golf course.

JJ made a quick grab for the other schedule, her eyes hardening when Penelope quickly grabbed the last two gelato schedules for her and Derek.

The blond looked back to JJ, her eyes widening dramatically to give her that innocent look. "I'm sorry, did you want those?"

**Confessional**

Penelope laughed loud, her fist shooting up in the air. "Penny G for the win!" She looked to her giggling brunette friend beside her and immediately gave her a high five. "I know what's up," she smirked. "And JJ's going down."
