" Why do we have to do this?" I complained
" Listen," my older brother Spencer said, " I just need to pick up some things from here for my epic new Halloween sculpture and then we'll be on our way."
" What exactly do you need?" I asked impatiently " Freddie, Sam, and I have iCarly stuff to do later"
"It'll take ten minutes" My brother said as we stepped into the toy store and grabbed a shopping cart " I just need ten Stacy Dolls, six Peewee Babies, three boxes of green army men, a chicken suit, and a microscope."
" You're so weird" I nagged as we wandered down the Stacy doll aisle. Spencer stuck his tongue at me playfully and dumped a doll into the cart.
" Hey can you get me those Peewee babies?" he asked
" Why Peewee babies? I asked can't you use your old ' action figures'?"
" Can you cut off action figures' heads and die their stuffing red to look like blood?"
" Fine" I gave in as I moped off toward the toddler department of the store.
I grabbed a Unicorn, a sea turtle, a blue bear, a lion, a flamingo, and an alligator. I'm sure he'll like cuddling these! I chuckled at my own thought. As I made my way back to my brother, I saw three too familiar army green crates stacked on top of each other tied with two bungee cords. Then I heard him " That's stupid! You obviously don't understand how valuable these are! Twenty take it or leave it"
" I'd rather leave it," a woman said. I cradled my brother's experiment against my chest and hid behind a cardboard cutout display. " Twenty hundred is a lot of money for Peewee babies I'd go for fifty"
I peaked out from behind the display, and sure enough my ex – boyfriend was there haggling with the store manager. Unfortunately, due to my lack of stealth, he saw me.
" Carly?" He asked trying to hide his enormous, incredibly hot grin " is that you?"
" Yup" I said standing up. " I see… you have your Peewee Babies…" the manager walked away.
" Oh," Griffin said, " yeah, I've been trying to sell them and get a lot of money off of them. I out grew them and realized how dumb I was to have them."
" Well did you realize that before or after I broke up with you and rejected you at my apartment when the air conditioning at the Bushwell turned off."
" After" he said " I felt like such a jerk afterward…especially about putting your project on the ground."
" Yes," I said " It was pretty jerkish, especially when an oversized mutant giant girl got lemon juice in her eye and trampled all over the project I worked on for two months straight."
" I'm sorry to hear that" he said. His voice sincere
" A bit too late for that, don't you think?" I said turning around, but he grabbed my shoulder, spun me toward him, and kissed me intensely on the lips.
" I should have never broken up with you," he said. I gazed into his eyes.
" Want to meet at the groovy smoothie tonight?" I asked
" Ms. Carly Shay, it would be my pleasure" his face went white " um… hi Spencer, long time, no see" I spun around to see my brother roll his eyes.
" You go have fun," he said smiling
