Me: Hey Alex! Why don't you help me with MY Christmas shopping?
Alex: Sorry, after helping Jack, I'm not doing ANY more shopping this year.
Anthony Horowitz: Alex! Come help me carry my stuff while I go shopping.
Alex: Coming!
Me: How come you go when HE asks you, but not when I do?
Alex: Uh... Cause technically I belong to Anthony Horowitz, and not you.
Me: Fine, rub it in some more will you!
Christmas Shopping
"Alex!" called Jack, who was just coming in the door. "I'm home!"
"Oh hey Jack." said a boy roughly of fourteen, with dirty blond hair, wearing cargo pants and a sweatshirt. "Guess who paid me a visit today?"
Jack stopped hanging up her coat to stare at Alex. "MI6? I swear Alex, if they asked you to go on yet another mission, I'll…" Jack never got to finish her sentence because Alex cut in.
"No. Actually Crawley came and gave me this credit card." said Alex holding up a blue Visa® credit card. "Apparently, MI6 felt so bad about my last mission that they're willing to pay for all of our Christmas expenses."
Jack's jaw dropped. "What's the limit?"
"I don't think there is one."
Jack immediately put her coat back on. "Grab something warm, we're leaving."
"What about my homework? I just got caught up, and my teachers assigned as a bunch for the holidays. They're trying to ruin Christmas."
"You're actually doing homework????"
Alex looked disgruntled. "Whatever, let's just go."
Jack smirked all the way to Harrods, while Alex looked like he was ready to bolt any minute now.
"Ah. Harrods. A collection of super expensive things for super rich people." Jack didn't like to shop at Harrods much, but since MI6 was paying, she thought she might as well get all of her Christmas shopping done.
"I do my homework sometimes!" piped Alex. Jack looked at him with a "you're crazy, and you know I'm right" look.
"So, we should probably buy presents for all your teachers and your friends."
"No need for buying off my teachers. MI6 already did. "
"No wonder you're getting all A's in your classes even though you NEVER DO YOUR HOMEWORK!"
Alex's expression changed from disgruntled to mischievous. "Why don't we start with buying presents for your relatives first?"
Now it was Jack's turn to look disgruntled.
"Fine, but you'll have to help me carry everything."
Alex smirked triumphantly.
4 hours later… Jack had finished all of her shopping for presents. Now she was just going around randomly buying stuff.
"How about this??" asked Jack, holding up a black leather LeSportSac purse.
"Sure." came Alex's voice from behind the mound of clothes so big it was hiding his head. "Just tell me when I'm about to run into a wall." Alex had been carrying Jack's shopping for the past four hours.
It started out as a couple of shirts, but soon Jack was buying everything in sight.
"Oww." Came a muffled voice under a pile of clothes and accessories. Alex had just run into a dressing room door. Jack could not stop laughing.
"Here. Let me help you up." Said Jack between laughs. "Maybe it's time to go home."
So how was it??? I think it was horrible. Tell me if you think I should delete it. Sorry it was so short. Reviews are REALLY appreciated. If I don't get any I'll probably delete this story because I don't want to post a horrible story. Sorry that I haven't updated my other Alex Rider fanfic in a while. I don't think I'm really going to continue it. If you've got time please read it and tell me if you like it. So, anyways, PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
