"What? You can't be serious."
"Well, I am serious Mavis. I forgot Louis was coming in today, and now we're overstaffed. So, as I already said, you have the day off."
Mavis scoffed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. She had rode her bike all the way to the mall just for her boss to tell her they didn't need her today, even after he specified the day before that she needed to come. It was infuriating. But she wasn't trying to get fired, so she decided not to fight him. Instead, she just nodded and left the restaurant.
On the bright side, having a day off meant that she could finally finish her book, and maybe treat herself to something. She looked around the mall before her eyes stopped at Scoops Ahoy, smirking slightly. Ice cream sounded great.
Walking inside the parlor, Mavis caught a glimpse of Steve sitting with one of Will's friends at one of the tables, but she headed straight for the counter.
"Hey," she greeted Robin. She had seen Robin around high school before, but they didn't know each other. All she knew was that Robin was in band, and that was enough for her to find her likable.
"Oh, Imperial Panda girl, right?"
She rolled her eyes playfully. "The one and only. The name's Mavis."
"Well, Mavis, what can I get for you?"
"Two scoops of chocolate in a cup, please," she said as she put the exact money on the counter.
After Robin handed her the ice cream, Mavis sat down at one of the booths, placing her bag on the spot next to her and her ice cream on the table. She looked through her bag and pulled out her book, starting to read it as she ate her chocolate ice cream, smiling slightly. Scoops Ahoy might have had the worst uniforms in all Starcourt Mall, but their ice cream was definitely the best in all Hawkins.
She had sat down close to Steve and his younger friend, and they were talking quite loudly. But that didn't really bother Mavis. She had always been good at focusing on her stuff and ignoring the world around her.
However, that was hard to ignore. She raised her head to look at the duo, now curious about their conversation. In fact, she was so curious she decided to eavesdrop.
"It means, Steve, we could be heroes. True American heroes," she couldn't help but roll her eyes at that statement.
"American heroes..."
"Just think, you could have all the ladies you want and more."
"I don't think Harrington would get any ladies, even as a hero," Mavis said as she sat down next to the younger boy. Why had she done that? She had no idea. She just knew she wanted to participate in the conversation. Something unusual for her, but she decided to go with it. "I mean, he can't flirt to save his life. And I honestly don't think the hero title would change that."
Steve stared at the newcomer. She was familiar... "I know you. I've seen you around school. And you work at that Chinese restaurant."
"Mavis Wilson at your service," she spoke to him before turning to the other boy. "You're one of Will's friends, right?"
"Yes... I'm Dustin."
"Well, Dustin," she said, placing her elbow on the table and holding her face with her hand. "That 'secret Russian communication' you just mentioned..." Steve and Dustin shared a look, "Is that part of Will's new DnD campaign?"
"Yes... yes!" Dustin said. He was not about to tell a stranger the truth.
"Can we please go back to the part where you said I can't flirt?" Steve interrupted, looking at Mavis with a frown on his face.
"What? It's true," she shrugged. "I work right on the other side of the food court, and I see everything. Including your unsuccessful flirting with every female that walks in here."
He scoffed and Dustin let out a chuckle. "I like her."
"Well, I don't," Steve crossed his arms in front of him as he leant back on the booth.
"Anyways, back to more important matters," she turned her attention back to Dustin. "Tell me more about the Russian thing."
"Why should he?"
She rolled her eyes at Steve's words, glaring slightly at him. "Because I know Russian, so I thought I could help since I don't have any plans today."
Dustin' eyes immediately widened as he looked at Mavis. "You know Russian?"
"A bit, yes," she nodded. "I learned it last summer."
"Because that's a very normal thing to do," Steve chimed in.
"What can I say? It was a boring summer," she said, now imitating Steve and leaning back on her seat as well, eating her ice cream.
Steve and Dustin shared a look, the oldest sliding closer to the youngest before they started to whisper. Mavis just raised an eyebrow. Why the secrecy? Anyways, she shrugged and proceeded to finish her ice cream.
After a few seconds, Steve slid out of the booth, standing up. He took a few steps, Dustin behind him, before he looked back at Mavis. "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
She smirked slightly. "Aye aye, captain," she said in a teasing tone as she stood up and followed them to the back.
"Okay so," Dustin spoke, "if we're going to work together, you need to know the truth." Mavis raised an eyebrow. "This is not part of a DnD campaign. I actually intercepted a secret Russian communication. Last night."
"When he was trying to reach his girlfriend," Steve said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, which earned him a glare from Dustin.
