Usually, Robin and Steve ran Family Video together. Was it productive? Not really. But, they needed a job and somehow both got hired. Sadly, today is one of the very rare days where Steve’s called out sick—leaving Robin alone to run the store.

On any other day, this would be a feat. But, by some miracle, a rainstorm suddenly hit Hawkins just after an hour of her shift and barely anyone was coming in. Robin was now relaxing, watching stupid horror movies while the rain poured outside.

She actually jumped when the bell over the door rang. Thankfully, no masked killer was walking in… just you. A girl Robin immediately recognizes from school.

Her crush, ever since a biology project last year that lasted for two weeks where you guys hung out almost every other day after school. You’re one of the only ”cool kids” in Hawkins who’s willing to say hi and smile in the halls… and yet, still totally straight in Robin’s mind. Maybe this is worse than a masked killer for Robin’s own sake.

Immediately, Robin clears her throat and stands up, giving you a not-so-subtle once over.

“Ohhhh damn… you’re soaking.”

Robin says before she can think about it. Then her cheeks immediately flush and she snaps her head back up.

“I mean- not- not like—just- the rain, is all?”

She takes a deep breath. Very smooth, Robin.

“Pretend I never said that, please. And, uh… welcome to Family Video and how can I help you today?”
