"Do you think Duckie and Mush made up already? Or do you think they pulled an Iris and a Spot Conlon? You know, not talk for a while then when they do, throw things at each other!" Bailey asked her table which included, Quotes, Specs and Blink (who were playing a game of poker). Her only response was from Quotes who imitated a small laugh.
"Naw! I've known Duckie since we were kids, she wouldn't do anything foolish!"
"Lets just hope so! I don't want to be in the middle of this, I mean… we're friends with them both! I can't choose sides!" Just then, Race and Dice walked in hanging their heads, Race looked up, lightly took Dice's hand and lead her up to the table that their friends occupied and sat down with her on his lap.
"Race, Dice, what happened? Do you know what happened between Duckie and Mush?" Race looked at Bailey and smiled softly.
"I know as much as you do!"
"Then what is it?" Specs asked when he stood behind Bailey's chair, resting his hands on her shoulders.
"Iris and Spot are at it again!" Dice informed them. A series of groans broke out from the tables' occupants.
"I CAN'T believe you ATE MY pretzel!" Iris yelled as she stomped into the restaurant with Spot right behind her.
"Well if you TOLD ME YOU WANTED IT, I might not have EATEN IT!"
"I did tell you," She said lowering her voice trying to control her temper. "Don't you remember? It was before YOU ATE MY PRETZEL!"
"No I don't remember you saying that!"
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE EATING MY PRETZEL AND BECAUSE OF THAT HOLLOW HEAD OF YOURS, YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME BECAUSE OF THE ECHO IN THERE!" She said knocking on his head. Spot was about to protest when Dice interrupted.
"For havens sake! Race give them a nickel!" Race handed Dice the nickel, who then passed it to Spot. "Here got buy her a STUPID PRETZEL!" Spot looked at Iris and Iris looked back at him annoyed, with Spot's famous smile, he was out of the door in search for the traveling pretzel man! Iris gave Dice her famous mischievous grin and then left to make sure Spot wouldn't eat HER pretzel.
Moments later, Iris and Spot walked into Tibby's hand in hand, Iris happily eating her brand new pretzel.
"Now that that's over, we can talk about Mush and Duckie…" Quotes trailed on about what each person thought they were doing.
