"Found your pet", Dean winces.
"Where?"
"It's in my leg man. The squirrel's in my pants, Hogarth. I'm trying not to wig out in here."
"Don't wig out", Robin warned.

Dean's leg start to jolt uncontrollably.
"Okay he's heading north now. I'm sorry, kids."
He then stood up from the table and stood in the aisle, the squirrel jerking his leg.
"I'd like to apologize everyone in advance form this."
"Uh oh," Robin muttered. Hogarth knew what was about it happen and covered his sister's eyes. As he expected, Dean zipped open his pants fly and out came the squirrel, causing completed chaos in the diner. Springer hopped at the squirrel and chased it across the diner.
"Springer, no!" Robin went to chase her frog and the squirrel.
Annie turned Dean and gave him a smoldering glare.
"Check please", Dean said nervously as he slipped on his sunglasses. Annie then turned to her son who smiles nervously at his mom.
"Hogarth....."

As Hogarth and Robin rode home, Robin said,
"I knew this wasn't going to end well. I'm not sure that your persuasion thing
is going to work."
"I know, Robin, but I just want a companion of my own. It's hard enough not have friends at school."
"Well, at least you're not completely alone. You have mom, and you also have me."

Hogarth smiled at Robin . He had a huge soft spot for his little sister, as he was the only friend that he had, the only person that was there for him.
He was lucky to have her as his best friend. 

They then pulled up to the house and put the bike up in the shed. As soon as they went inside , the kitchen phone was ringing.
Hogarth went to go get it and answer the phone while Robin did a puzzle in the living room.
"Hello this is Hogarth Hughes speaking, who's calling please."
It was Annie over the phone
"Hogarth, honey I'm really sorry but"- a waiter pushed past Annie
"Thank you", he told the waitress.
"...I need to work late tonight. There some cold chicken in the ice box. You and Robin can have that and some carrots."
"I'm way ahead of you mom," Hogarth said as he flipped open the bread box full of Twinkies.

While Hogarth was on the phone, Robin was looking at a picture of her dad. He had just died in the line of duty several months ago. It was the a saddest day of her life, as she and Hogarth was very close to him. He  the one that gave Robin her name when he and Annie found her abandoned in a robin's nest on the ground.
Robin never really knew her real parents, and had always know Hogarth and Annie to be her parents.
Robin just missed her father so much, and would do anything to get him back.
