At 2.15 am at the local 24/7 store nothing unusual happened. The old salesclerk got to be mainly alone, except this one young lad buying a pack of condoms and one woman asking if she could use the phone.

But at 2.17 am, it started to happen.

There was this man, hardly over than thirty, with black hair and white skin if you didn't count the dark spots under his eyes. The man wore a light clothing, just casual pants, t-shirt and jacket left open from the front. It seemed like the man had left in hurry and just picked something to put on.

The salesman stood up from his chair behind the check out counter and put his magazine away.

"Yes, how may I help you?" he asked as the customer came close, somehow challenging look in his eyes. He made it to the salesman and put his palms firmly against the counter.

"I need ice cream with peanut, choco-chips, caramel and a bit of honey-kinda-thing." The young man said plainly, staring at the salesman straight into the eyes.

The elder man wasn't sure if he had caught it all, but at least it sounded like…

"Ice cream with peanut, choco-chips, caramel and a bit of honey-kinda-thing?"

"Lactose-free, if possible."

The salesclerk shook his head slowly. "Well, I'm afraid that we don't have such a flavor in our stores, but-"

"Then get it somewhere." The customer sounded almost desperate, his voice shaking a little. "I can wait. And I'm not going anywhere before I get what I'm looking for."

"I see and I'm sorry, bu-"

"Because if I go back without, she's gonna shoot my brains out."

The salesman looked shocked. What on earth was this man talking about..?

"Excuse me, but what-?"

"And," the raven haired customer continued. "After that she'll come here and shoot you in your balls. Just in time to realize that she wants just chocolate after all."

Now the old man was getting what this was all about. His face softened and he looked understandingly at the tired young man.

"Knocked up, uh?" he said.

"Big time."

"I look what I can do." The salesman said before heading to the cold-storage.
