"Happy I need you to do me a favor." Walter said, approaching her desk were she was currently working on an old engine.
"What is it?" Happy asked, not looking up from what she was doing.
"I have to go to a job so I need you to pick up Abby from school."
"Why do you need me to it? Why don't you just ask Paige or Kate?"
"Kate is at work and Paige is with Ralph." Walter explained. "Please, just do it this once."
"Fine." She said begrudgingly. "When do I need to pick her up?"
"Pick her up at three o'clock at Washington Elementary." Walter said while gathering up his stuff. "Thanks for doing this. I really owe you one."
"You owe me way more than one."
A few hours later
"You've got to be kidding me." Happy said to herself, annoyed. It was only 2:45 but already a long line of cars had formed outside of school.
When Happy finally got of the front of the line it was 3:10. Happy looked at the group of kids waiting to be picked up their parents, trying to find Abby.
She finally spotted her sitting on a bench by herself. Happy then realized that Abby had no clue that Happy was there to pick her up. So she did the first thing she could think of.
She rolled down the window, honked her horn, and shouted, "Hey Abby over here!" Several kids looked over to her. When Abby realized that Happy was there she quickly got in the car.
Then a man who, looked to be a teacher, approached the car and said, "Ms. please don't honk your horn when you pick up your daughter."
"She's not my mom." Abby said absentmindedly.
"Her dad asked me to pick her up." Happy said quickly, not wanting to get in trouble.
The man ignored her response and instead looked at Abby and asked, "Do you know this woman?"
"Yeah, she works with my dad."
Satisfied with the answer the teacher allowed them to leave after reminding her again to not to honk her horn.
When they managed to get out of the school parking lot they spent the next several minutes in silence. Both waiting for the other to break it.
"So," Happy said, deciding to break the tension, "Made any friends?"
"Not really." Abby said. "It's better than my old school, but a lot of people still think i'm weird."
"Well let me tell you something about normal people. They suck."
Abby laughed at that before asking, "Did you have a lot of friends growing up?"
"No." Happy replied. "Turns out the whole 'normal people suck' philosophy is not a great way to meet people."
Abby smiled at that and looked out the window. The next few minutes were spent in silence again until this time Abby broke it.
"You're a bad driver."
"Oh and here I thought we were being friendly." Happy said with mock-hurt in her voice.
"We are." Abby said. "But you just ran a red light."
"Did any cop stop us?" Abby shook her head no. "Then its fine." Happy said, though she double-checked that Abby had her seatbelt on and slowed down quite a bit.
"You're a bad influence."
Happy smiled at that before saying, "You don't know the half of it."
They arrived at the garage a little bit later.
"So how was school?" Kate asked, greeting her daughter.
"I learned normal people suck." Abby said smiling.
"Oh really?" Kate said looking at Happy. "Do you know where she learned this?"
"No clue." Happy said. "Personally, I think she's a bad influence on me."
"Hey!" Abby exclaimed.
