Axel came and got the twins so Robyn and I could get dressed. We went downstairs and saw my dad. He patted me on the head and said, “Have fun.” Robyn grabbed my hand and said goodbye to my dad. “Farewell children,” my dad said. Me and Robyn started to walk towards Julia’s house. She was outside with her brother, Jupiter, in their swimming wear. Julia’s was a vibrant pink one-piece and Jupiter is in dark blue swim shorts. “Jupiter, stop. Don’t send Ash that photo,” Julia shouted, shaking Jupiter up and down. He looked at me and Robyn. Robyn was smiling but also red in the face. I was red because of other reasons, like I generally thought she was really pretty. “Hey Ash,” Jupiter said, waving at me. Julia dropped him and turned to me and Robyn. She turned red and covered her face.

“Stop thinking about it, Robyn. And stop staring at me,” Julia shouted. I looked away and looked at Robyn. They did the same thing. “She’s no fun,” Robyn sighed, crossing their arms. “I’ll go get in the shower and get dressed,” Julia said. “I can join you,” Robyn responded. “Wasn’t an invitation. And you don’t show them the photo, twink,” Julia said. Jupiter got off the concrete ground Julia had dropped him on. “Eh,” he said, looking at his cuts. “Fuck you,” she said, walking into the house. 

Jupiter ran over to us and lifted me up. He put me on his shoulders and started to bounce. “How’s it hanging, little man?” he asked. “Good, what’s up with you? Hadn’t seen you since before the accident,” I said. “Good, Julia took me to get my third tattoo,” he said. “Third?” Robyn asked. “Yep,” he said, lifting me off his shoulder and placing me on the ground. “This is the first tat I got,” he said, lifting up his shorts to show his Nightwing symbol. He was obsessed with DC, specifically Nightwing. “Second,” he said, turning and pointing at his bird. I chose it for him and I wasn’t that surprised when he sent me the finished version.  “And my recent one/ones,” Jupiter said, showing his wrist. It was a triangle with a semi-colon in it. I rolled up my sleeve and placed it next to Jupiter’s. He got the same one I had got after my mom passed. 

“Wow. You got Ash’s tattoo, too,” Robyn said. “Yeah. When he was in the hospital, I got it. Two main reasons, I liked his concept and his mom was a mom to me as well. He got it the day after she passed. I got it on her birthday after the funeral. Julia got the same thing, too,” Jupiter said. I hugged Jupiter, causing him to freeze. He hugged me back and said, “I missed you, man.” Robyn put their hand on his shoulder. “Ready dorks?” Julia said, walking outside again. Jupiter stopped hugging me and ruffled my hair. “See you at orientation,” he said. “See you there,” I said. “Also, I’ll send you the photos I have of Julia in the swimsuit,” he said in a lower voice, patting me on the shoulder. He left after saying that and went into the house. 

Julia walked over to Robyn and I. “We never speak about that again,” Julia said. “I’m talking about it over lunch,” I said. “Ash!” Julia shouted. “I can’t run so you can do whatever you want to me,” I said, crossing my arms. She sighed and punched me in the arm. “You and the cast are already pissing me off,” she said, walking off. “Can I sign it?” Robyn asked me. “When we go wherever we are going,” I said. They nodded and we started to follow behind Julia.
