“  that’s cute !  ”  

“I guess so.” Toni smiled at her. “She has to be the cute one though.”

          she’s done pushing the flyer into the other person as the others words caught her attention ,  a smile being beamed at the other student before turning towards toni .   ‘ as much as i  love  seeing a woman at work ,  tt .  –  &  trust me ,  i do  –  i can’t expect you to do it alone . ’   &  as much as she wants to help …  she really doesn’t .   ‘ &  no offence to your  adult children ?  but i’m not sure sweet pea  &  fangs are people i’d trust with paint around things worth more than them . ’

Toni chuckled, nodding at her. “Well, I would need help, so I appreciate that.” She told her before humming. “I actually do agree with you there, but they are very useful if we need them to lift something way too heavy for one of us.”

           “  well  ,   i would hope you’re getting some credit points  .  ”    a chuckle  ,   it’s a good thing her and her sister aren’t in school  .   it sounds  EXACTLY  like something ruby would do  .     “  a valid reason  ,   though  .  ”  

Toni chuckled, nodding at her. “Well, she is my girlfriend, so I guess I would.” She teased. 

          lips pursed into a smirk at the comment .  cheryl blossom turning a compliment into her own was like a father coming up with every dad joke he could manage .  a complete necessity  &  something that should always be expected of her .   ‘ but ,  tt  —  i don’t remember asking you for help with a project ? ’   &  there it is .

Toni had to admit she hadn’t seen her there when she first said it. “Well, babe. You are the only beautiful girl I wouldn’t complain about helping.” She told her. 

          “ so you must be toni topaz, huh? yeah, that girl was talking about you and your ‘extremely kind offer..’ name’s jb jones, and by that jacket i assume you know my brother – and my dad. ”

“Well, I try to be an outstanding citizen every once in a while.” The girl chuckled. “Jones? If they are FP and Jughead, I sure do.”
