321, Monday Evening

Robins side of the room was decorated with a number of posters, mostly for bands with female singers. Pink, the Corrs, Blondie, No Doubt, Evanescense. No Doubt was the latest edition. They looked down at the small frog as he sat on his bed going through his scrap book.

The summer was winding down, and Robin had had a decision to make. To go back home for to start High School, or stay here. It hadn't been a hard decision. He missed his family and friends back home, but this place was just too wonderful to leave just yet.

He'd met more people here his own age than anywhere else. Despite the assumption back home that Muppets were to be afforded the same rights and privileges as any human, most of them were home schooled. Robin would have been sent to an actual high school if he'd gone home, but here he already had a head start on the whole living amongst humans full time thing.

Besides he had a number of crushes and he just didn't want to leave.

And there were so many performance opportunities here! He was still feeling bouncy from the play (He played the villain! Hee!), and sure most of his singing lately had been protest songs, but that had still been fun. And if he didn't feel like going to Caritas, he could always just plunk himself down in the park and sing there.

The final factor in helping him decide to stay, was that Ms. Umbrage was gone. The woman had scared him, mostly because he'd never encountered anyone like her before. With such a blatantly racist attitude, he was amazed he was still here actually, after her declaration that he didn't belong there. Though she had inadvertently made him feel very loved. He wondered how she'd feel about that.

"Uhhh... sure?" He smiled not looking as sure as he said. "What should I do?"

"You don't have to." Robin said. Haku didn't sound so sure. "I just had the impulse to take your picture cause you said you'd never had it taken. But now that I say it, I think I'd like a picture of my room mate."

"No, no! It's fine! I'm just not sure what to do," Haku said and gave Robin a reassuring smile and waved his hands. "I mean, do you want me to smile? I think a lot of the pitures I've seen people were just standing there without much expression at all..."

"I think it'd look better with you smiling, cause you usually seem to be." Robin nodded. "Or you could make a funny face if you wanted."

The mention of funny faces and Haku could only think of certian people back home and smiled brightly, shaking his head. "How's this then?"

"Perfect!" Robin bounced, then had to stop so he could hold the camera steady.

*Fwash!* "And that's it."

Haku was momentarily blinded and and blinked rapidly to try and see again. "Oh," he said and rubbed his eyes with a small laugh. "I thought it would be a lot more complicated."

"Sorry I forgot to warn you about the flash. And it can be more complicated, if you get a photographer that wants to take lots and lots of pictures."
