Working at the joke shop had been quite amazing for Ron. Sure, he did the same thing back home, but it had been George he helped out rather than Fred. He loved George, no doubt about that, but prior to arriving in town, he never thought he'd work with Fred ever again. And while they gave each other a hard time (because which siblings didn't?), he truly enjoyed working together.
Ron had been out front, manning the register, playing with a trick wand. There was a lull in customers at the moment. Which happened from time to time. But it meant Ron was getting bored. Since there was no one coming in, he went to the back room where Fred was.
"Whatcha doing back here?" he asked. "Working on any new products?"
