"This one!"

"No."

"This one!"

"No."

"Then… This one!"

"Sweetie, I'm not buying you an iPod!" Max said kindly, bending over to remove the multi-colored packages from her cart.

"But why?" Angel whined, clutching a small pink one to her chest. Max sighed.

"I can't afford one right now. Much less four, and you know if you get one, Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggy are going to want one, too." Max explained, pushing further down the aisle.

"It can be secret!" Angel chirped, bouncing alongside the bright red cart.

"No. Didn't you hear me?" Max said, frowning. "Now quit bugging me about it."

Angel stopped and looked crestfallen, staring at the pink iPod.

She looked around suddenly, her blue eyes bright with an idea. The little blonde beamed and skipped over to a very clean-looking woman with a layer of items covering the bottom of her cart.

"Hello, ma'am!" Angel exclaimed, putting on her cutest face and stepping closer to her.

"No!" Max said sharply, grabbing her elbow and pulling her back to the cart.

The woman simply stared as Angel whined and clung for dear life to the little white package.

"Odd."


Author's Note: The Ditto here! This is the first of probably many little one-chapter stories that would clog my account up majorly if I posted individually. I find these to be fun little reads and help me practice stuff without doing a whole story. I'll prolly experiment with genres and moods, but it will all be MaxRide. So if you don't like some of the stuff I post, you don't have to read it cuz none of it will be related. B) Is this not fun?
