...9:49 AM... Shopping Day

"I seriously hope this isn't a repeat of last time," said Ocelot, sliding in the backseat of Octopus's car and slamming the door shut. Octopus started the engine of the cramped six person car.

"I just hope it isn't me who has to take Liquid to the Hannah Montana section this time," Raven said in the front seat, who was wearing what he usally wore, except with an black T-Shirt.

"Shut up!" Liquid Snake bursted in from the middle of the back seats "She's cool!"

"Liqvuid, she's for little girls, not full grown men," Wolf said, staring out the window in the back left seat.

"Next time," said Mantis's raspy voice through the gas mask, "Don't start screaming that you want to buy her CD in public"
Octopus, who looked exactly like Ocelot now, held firmly on to the steering wheel as he drove toward Walmart as the fight contiued, a nefarious idea bubbling in his mind as he tried to keep a sadistic grin off of his face. As the row started to subside, Octopus steered the little blue car into Walmart's parking lot. Upon entering the store, Raven grabbed four baskets and pushed two over to Ocelot. Or it might of been Octopus. The six made their way towards the food section.

"Mantis, you go get the supplies," Octopus ordered, pushing a basket towards him. Mantis, whose hands were dug deep into his trenchcoat pockets, froze the basket abruptly just before it bumped into him. Without touching it, Mantis turned the basket around and followed it as it rolled down the laundry isle by itself. "Wolf, get snacks," Octopus said scanning his list. She took one of Octopus's baskets and left. "Raven. Food," Raven left with his two baskets. "Ocelot," Octopus said.

"Aw, bull crap!" Ocelot said as he said, walking away as Liquid followed him.

"And me..." Octopus said, an evil smile across his face. He glanced around to make sure none of his co-workers were in sight. Out of his coat pocket were five small bottles of dark red liquid. He grabbed the one that had an "L" on it and quickly unscrewed the lid. Octopus took a long drink of the salty blood. And in a moment, he was Liquid Snake. "Duh! I'm Liquid," he said, getting use to Liquid's voice "Good," he contiued, closing the bottle "Now I'm off to propose to Wolf! Muhahahahaha"

Meanwhile.
"Oooooh crap," muttered Raven, "Was that Octopus's evil laugh?" Echoing off the walls, Raven heard another "Muhahahahaha,". He sighed and touched his left ear.

Meanwhile, half way across the store.
Ocelot stood against the wall, watching Liquid look at the Hannah Montana stuff. Suddenly, the Codec went off. On the other side of the green screen, Vulcan Raven's worried face on the left side. "What?" Ocelot asked.

"Having fun?" asked Raven with a small smile.

"Yes. Oodles. Is that all?" Ocelot replied angrily.

"No," Raven's face returning to seriousness. "Octopus is on a rampage,"

"Son of an Oompa-Loompa" yelled Ocelot. "Gotta' go,"

Meanwhile.
"W-Wolf?" Octopus asked.

"Oh. Vat's up, Licvuid? I thought you vere looking at Hannah Montana stuff," said Wolf, confused.

"Oh, uh, yeah, I was, but I couldn't stop thinking about something," Octopus said sheepishly.

"And vat's that?" asked Wolf, dropping a bag of Cheetoes in her basket.

"...You," answered Octopus. "Wolf..." he continued, dropping to his knee "Will you marry me?"

She was silent.

Meanwhile.
Mantis checked Laundy Detergant off of his list.

Meanwhile... (Mantis: Stop with the meanwhiles!!!)

In the Entertainment department (Mantis: Thank you)
"Hurry up, Liquid! Just get the damn DVD," ordered Ocelot quickly.

"Fine, fine..." Liquid said, picking up the Hannah Montana DVD,"

On the floor of the "chip" aisle Octopus lay on the floor, clutching his, er, private. "I'm in paaaaaaaaaaaaaain!" he cried.

"Hey, Raven? Was Octopus on one of his "rampages" again?" asked Wolf over Codec.

"Yeah... How'd you know?" Raven answered. "I'd hadn't called you yet,"

"Yeah I caught him," she answered, glancing at him.

"Good. Where is he?" inquired Raven.

"Um... On the, uh, floor," said Wolf. "Just follow the screaming"

Raven shot her an sideways look as he flashed off the screen.

Octopus found himself walking home that day, disguised as Raven, smoking a ciggerette. Hopefully they hadn't let Liquid drive his car. "Damn it," he said aloud, kicking a rock along the sidewalk. Liquid had too big of a crush on Wolf to propose to her somewhere casual.
He would have made it as romantic as possible. "How could I have been so stupid?" Octopus kept asking himself as he picked up the rock and threw it a passing car. Too bad he didnt quite know who's car it was. The rock broke through the window as the car halted with a screech. The door opened.

"Son of a damn mother hugging Oompa-Loompa theme song singer," said Octopus, the cigar falling out of his mouth.
