ADVENTURES OF THE SUPERMARKET - chapter 5
As me and Cat walk into the
supermarket the cool air hits us, "bloody hot out for May huh" I comment and Cat
just nods. I take Cat around the store and teach him how to shop the right way
"only buy what you need and only but food that can keep, on occasion you can buy
fruits and vegetables but don't buy too much cause if it doesn't get used then
it's a waste of money, and always buy the cheap stuff 'cause we're not loaded,
you getting all this Cat?" I ask him, he looks distracted, "Cat!" that gets his
attention and he looks at me, "Yes Luca?" he asks, "You ok?" he just
nods.
"Ok well come on time to check out." He looks up again this time
with a smile plastered on his face.
As we walk to the check out counter
we see this huge display of newspapers with the titles all reading 'Gundam
Vigilantes' with pictures of very beaten looking people on the front page. I
point it out to Cat and he makes a face, I laugh slightly, the woman at the
counter takes our money and gives us the change and as we're headed for the door
Cat stops and has this evil smile on his face and says "I dare you to push the
cart into the stand." I just look at him in shock, then I smile, we empty the
cart and I have to be thankful that there aren't that many bags. I jump into the
cart and Cat gives it a hard shove in the direction of the stand and I jump out
of the cart as it hits the stand newspapers go flying in every direction and I
run back over to Cat and grab some of the bags and book it out the door and down
the street, Cat following.
When we're a safe distance away from the store
we stop and I fall down laughing and Cat starts to clutch at a wall looking like
he was gonna fall to. As the laughter subsides I get up and I notice that the
only people looking at us like we were lunatics are Zero and
Bane.
"Zero!" I yell out and he starts to walk over, Bane in
toe.
"Luca" he nods, and picks up some of the bags with his left hand and
holds out his other hand to Bane, who gladly takes it, and Cat looking him in
shock 'cause he thinks that Bane is really Zero's child.
"Zero, Bane,
this is Quatre" I say making introductions, "and Cat this is Herro Yue and Sue"
I say pointing to each of them. Cat smiles at them and he shakes Banes hand and
nods to Zero because his hands are full.
"Well!" I say, "lets go home!" I
grab the rest of the bags and Cat grabs his and we start walking home, Zero
seems a bit nervous but trusts my judgment.
