Deciding to ask her dad about the armor, Iron Mam rushed upstairs to find him in his room, watching viral videos on Elmore Stream It. She went inside, mentally rehearsing what she was going to say.
"Hey, Dad?" she said, the black hedgehog smiling when he heard the voice of his daughter.
"Hey, sweetie!" he exclaimed, turning to the Waddle Dee. "What's up?"
"Can I have this new pair of armor?" she asked, holding up the catalog for him to see. Finn's smile disappeared when his gaze landed on the price, and he thought for a moment.
"Uh... I don't know," he finally said. "The price looks super-duper high!" Iron Mam sighed.
"Okay..." she muttered, heading back downstairs and into the garage. Glancing at the tools around her, she soon got an idea. "I guess I'll just earn the money the old fashioned way," she said, pausing for a second to pick up a hammer. "By building a lemonade stand."
Minutes later, the Dustins' house was surrounded by people, all of them staring at the garage as loud noises came from it. -
None of them knew what was going on, but when the garage door finally opened it was obvious. Iron Mam stepped out, pulling a rather large lemonade stand towards the sidewalk. As soon as they saw her armor, the onlookers began to leave. By the time she made it to the sidewalk everyone was gone.
"Hey," she said, glancing around. She was alone. "Where did everybody go?" A frown was placed on her face as she received no answer. Sighing, Iron Mam proceeded to wait for a customer. After only two minutes she was ready to quit, but she desperately needed that armor. Joy was placed on her face when she saw some kids walking by. "Hey, kids, would you like some lemonade?" she asked them, holding up a cup. They simply looked at her, and then walked a bit faster when they saw her armor. Iron Mam watched them go, sighing and putting the cup down. "Maybe a lemonade stand wasn't a good idea..." Giving up on the stand, she quickly took it apart and put the pieces back in the garage. "I guess some little kids are just scared of me," she said as she went inside. Not knowing what else to do, she went to ask her brother, Joe, for help. He was sitting on the couch, playing a video game when she approached him. "Joe?"
"What?" he asked, not looking from his game.
"Um... Do you know a way that I can make money?" she questioned, a little mad about having to ask her brother for assistance. He paused the game.
"It's for new armor, isn't it?" he asked, looking at her. She slowly nodded, and then Joe smiled. "Actually, I do have an idea... but if it works, I get five percent of your profits." Iron Mam let out an annoyed groan.
"Fine."
"Great," he continued. "Okay, the best way to make money is to..." He stopped, letting what he believed was suspense build up. "Start a boat rental service! That's the best way to earn the big buck." Iron Mam was silent for a while, unsure of his suggestion, but since she didn't have any better ideas she decided to try it.
"Okay," she said, turning and walking away.
"Go make us some money!" he shouted to her as she left, feeling like a genius for coming up with the idea. Iron Mam quickly headed over to the pier to start the service.
