Louise covered her face trying to contain her laughter as she heard Teddy screaming from the dining area, she glanced through window only to see him leaning halfway over the counter with Logan's back pressed to the ice cream machine and a horrified expression on his face, he undoubtedly was convinced that he was about to be thrashed by some sort of maniac.

"Hey Louise, who is this kidder huh? Something going on here? You needed help now huh? What about when I asked Louise? I offered! I told you I was qualified to work here, I helped Bobby before! I could have helped to!" With that he ran out of the building sobbing as Louise walked out of the kitchen laughing.

"Umm regular customer I take it?" Logan asked looking incredibly uncomfortable.

"Well yeah," Louise replied as she started wiping down the counter "that's Teddy, he's been in here pretty much every day since we opened, our most loyal customer –aside from a few secret trips to Pesto's- and he's self-proclaimed himself dad's best friend." Louise started to zone out as she was wiping down the counter and Logan assumed she was lost in thought about Bob again, after a few minutes of silence he threw a crumpled up napkin at her to grab her attention. She shook her head as she started talking again. "Anyway I'm about to start closing up so you can go ahead and head out if you want." She moved on to the other side of the counter as she started emptying the coffee pot.

"Well if you'd prefer four-ears I could stay and help you clean up, I'm sure I could get done way faster than you could." Logan said with a wink.

Louise couldn't contain herself as she watched it dawn on Logan how he had phrased that. "I'm not sure that's exactly a compliment to yourself Logan, most women don't like a man that finishes first." She giggled as she watched the blood rush to his face but she decided to put him out of his misery. "However, I would really enjoy the help and I guess your company wouldn't be that terrible either."

Logan smiled as he walked into the back and grabbed a broom he decided that he wouldn't mind her company either, not one bit. His thoughts shifted back to the night before he left to college, the last day that he had seen Louise.

"I don't see why you have to leave Logan." Louise didn't hold it against him that he was leaving she knew how Cynthia was though. "Couldn't you just stay here? You know my parents don't get the basement sprayed for infestations often."

They both laughed at her subtle stab as they settled in on the couch that had been moved down to the basement for Logan to sleep on. They had been sitting around drinking and smoking weed for hours trying to soak up the last of their time together. He wrapped his arm around her as he answered her. "You know I wish I could LouLou but I can't live off of your parents forever." He took a long hit off of their pipe before passing it over. He always liked smoking with her because it knocked down her hard-ass exterior she was always more of herself more sensitive and willing to open herself up. He watched her as she took a drag, he couldn't quit watching her lips wrapped around the pipe, he shook he head trying to get rid of the thoughts.

She settled down into his chest and huffed. "They wouldn't care Logan, they love you. I just wish you could stay." Now that he was leaving she was much more aware of the fact that he wasn't only her best friend but basically her only friend. Andy and Ollie were still close to her but they didn't advertise it so they didn't deal with their dad's shit and her delinquent streak had caused Rudy to abandon her after she got them both expelled for putting laxatives in Mr. Frond's coffee. Louise and Logan were trying to just enjoy their last night together they were listening to music as they got in a deep conversation about life, whether they were going to stay in touch, their true thoughts on school, relationships, and family. They discussed religious and political views, moral compasses, and everything in between.

As morning came they were laying on the couch in their usual way drinking whiskey, smoking a bowl, and laying on each other as they stared at the glow paint they had put on the ceiling.

Logan sighed as he checked his phone and nudged Louise, he knew very well that she was awake she was just trying to avoid what he was saying as she pushed her face into his chest. "It's six Louise, I've got to be on a plane at nine." He listened for something but all he heard was her soft breathing, he started gently poking her on the side as she squirmed.

"How much longer can you stay?" He could hear the sadness in her voice and it broke his heart. He did the math in his head and figured out exactly how late he could get there and piss off Cynthia.

"Well I guess about another hour since I'm already packed up." He looked down and saw her staring at him and they laid like that for a while, just staring at each other. He still wasn't sure exactly how it happened but they found themselves laying together locked in a deep kiss and neither of them could say how long it lasted. Once the hour had come and gone they stood there at the doorway of the restaurant hugging each other as tight as they could. Finally Cynthia came driving down the street and Logan realized he had been there much later than he intended as she sat there in front of them without a word. He got in the car and waved as they drove away.

"You do realize that she's jailbait don't you Logan?" his mother was never great at being subtle but to his surprise there was a faint hint of compassion mixed in with her snide tone.

"I know mom. She's just my best friend." With that they didn't say another word until he was boarding the plane on his way to his new life.

He and Louise never lost touch but texting and calling just wasn't the same. He wasn't sure if she even remembered the kiss, he did though, he remembered every second of it and he thought about it all the time. All he could do right now though was be there for her, be her best friend again, be her confidant, do everything in his power to be all she could ever need or want.

"Alright Loganberry, restaurants all done." Louise said pulling him out of his thoughts, he had gone on autopilot for the last half-hour or so helping her. "Thanks Logan, it was a lot easier having help for once."

Logan smiled down at her as he replied. "No problem four-ears, just pay me."

"What?" Louise asked shocked "You said I didn't have to pay you, you know I can't afford to do that." Logan laughed even though he felt bad that she was panicking so bad he couldn't believe she thought he was going back on his word and asking for money.

"I don't want your cash Louise, I want you to come hang out with me tonight, like the old days." Louise stared at him slightly surprised, though she wasn't sure why she should have seen it coming.

She thought about his request for a minute, usually after work she went right upstairs to give Linda a break and take care of Bob. She had never really considered doing anything else until tonight but now that she was she realized that she really could use a break and going out like the old days and blowing off steam really did sound good. "Alright Logan, let's run upstairs first and make sure mom's good for me to go out."

They went outside and locked up the restaurant and started upstairs to see Mother and Father Belcher. Logan was internally celebrating that he had gotten her to agree to go out, he thought it was going to be a lot more difficult. He was also excited and yet anxious to see Mr. and Mrs. Belcher, even though they seemed to like him in the end they still had a rough history and it had been years since they had even spoken.
