At ten o'clock in the morning, Cole walked confidently through the town, all the way to the Coffee Shop. His flippers were stuffed into his hoodie pocket, the Waddle On hoodie he recently bought at the Gift Shop with some money he stole from a bully at the school.

Flashback.

Cole walked into the school, hoping to be able to sneak some food from the cafeteria without being seen. He hid under tables, and slowly crawled and made his way towards the food counter.

Just as he reached for a slice of pizza, he heard a sneering voice.

"What're you up to, hippy?"

An older teenage penguin was laughing at a smaller-aged penguin, who was wearing colorful clothes. The smaller penguin hunched down at her table and stared at her tray of food, a tear falling out of her eye and landing on her tray next to her pizza. Some of the bully's friends were laughing with her, and Cole couldn't stand to watch the poor small girl being laughed at just because of her clothes.

Cole sneaked under the girl's table, and then reached up to the bully's pockets and wiggled his flipper around until he pulled out a miniature purse. He opened it and found a pink, snake scaled, glittery wallet inside. Yuck, he thought. Have some taste, girl.  Nevertheless, he opened the wallet gingerly and took out.... a thousand coins, in bills! He closed the wallet and put it back in the girl's pocket. She'd have a nasty surprise to find out that she'd been robbed, but hey, that's what she got for bullying a penguin just for how they dressed, right?

Flashback ends.

Cole's new red sneakers squeaked on the concrete as he walked up to the Coffee Shop door, whistling, and opened the door and swung himself inside. He still had a couple hundred coins left, and he was feeling extra lucky this morning, so he'd buy himself some food. He didn't even notice the small sign by the counter, the one that said Free cookies today!  He walked up to the counter and waited in line behind a teenager.

FInally, it was his turn, and he order two chocolate chip cookies and one caramel latte. The cashier eyed him suspiciously. "Aren't you a little young to be ordering coffee, especially by yourself?"

"Yes, yes I am, now let's not turn this into Phineas and Ferb?"

"Alllllllllrightyyyyyy...."

Cole handed the cashier the money payment, and the cashier put it in the register, then gave Cole his receipt. "Your food will be right out."

"Thanks," Cole smiled.

When the cashier handed Cole the cookies and latte, he also handed Cole some change.

"What's this for?" Cole asked.

The cashier pointed his flipper towards the sign. "Free cookies today.  Your cookies are on the house."

"OH!" Cole blushed, too embarassed to speak. "Cooooool, thanks mister.  Have a nice day."

"You too," the cashier smiled.

Cole walked to the big red leather arm chair and plopped himself down and started eating his cookies and drinking his latte, satisfied with how the morning was going so far.
