Just a Trip to
Wal-Mart…or is it?
"Now tell
me why we're going to Wal-Mart." Wufei asked as he followed the other pilots
through the crowded parking lot. "Not Wal-Mart! Super Wal-Mart!" Duo said.
Wufei rolled his eyes as he replied, "Oh yeah! How could I forget? Super
Wal-Mart!" Trowa leaned over toward Heero. "What's the difference?" He asked in
hushed tones. "OZ owns Wal-Mart but they don't own Super Wal-Mart." Heero
replied. "Are you sure?" Trowa asked wondering about Heero's logic. "Well I
don't see any other reason why we would be going to a Super Wal-Mart instead of
a Wal-Mart. It must be Super is because OZ does not own it." Heero explained.
"Right!" Trowa said grabbing a cart. "Hey look at me!" Duo yelled from just
inside the store. The boys looked in Duo's direction to see the braided pilot
riding on one of those electric carts that you see in most stores like
Wal-Mart. Quatre hurried over to Duo. "Get off of that before you're kicked out
of the store!" Quatre said taking the keys away. "Party pooper!" Duo said
sticking out his tongue at the blond pilot. "Just come on." Quatre said pulling
Duo by the arm. "Hey I got the best idea!" Duo said. "We can have shopping cart
races!" He said grabbing a cart. "Come on Wu-butt you get in and I'll push you.
Heero can push Quatre and Trowa can be the judge! What do you think?" "Young
man I don't think that would be a good idea." A security guard said coming up
to the group. "Oh hey well now that you're here Trowa can have a partner and
you can play too!" Just then Quatre intervened. "I'm sorry, my friend is on
medicine and he didn't take it this morning. I'll take care of him." Quatre
grabbed Duo's arm and began to lead him toward the other pilots who were
waiting near an aisle. "What are you taking about?" Duo asked as he fought
Quatre. "I'm not on medicine!" "Just smile and nod!" Quatre said not moving his
mouth as he smiled at the security guard. "Why?" Duo asked. "Don't ask
questions!" Quatre said. Once Duo and Quatre had reached the rest of the group
Duo seemed to have calmed down and the security guard had left. "Maxwell just
follow us and don't get into trouble!" Wufei said. "And oh yeah, don't call me
Wu-butt!" Duo, however, did not hear him because he was busy moving the
"Caution Wet Floor" sign onto a carpeted area. Duo hurried back to the group
and whistled (off key of course) and claimed he didn't do it even before anyone
asked. Rolling their eyes in unison the boys headed down another aisle and
hoped that Duo would just follow and be quiet. Suddenly the group heard a loud
crash from the neighboring aisle. "It's OZ! They've spotted this place and now
they are going to take it over!!!" Heero said pulling out his gun and running
to the other aisle. "Ahhh! They're bombarding this aisle with plastic trashcan
lids." Heero said, his voice audible from the next aisle. The group
instinctively turned around to find Duo throwing; you guessed it, plastic
trashcan lids over the aisle divider.
30 minutes
later Duo hadn't done anything that bad, okay well except for setting up a mini
version of a mobile suit battle, taking up a whole aisle I might add, using the
mini Gundam's and Pokemon figures. Other than that things had gone pretty
smoothly…until Quatre, who had been put in charge of Duo, lost him. "Look I'm
sure he has to be around here somewhere." Quatre said. "I mean it's only a
Wal-Mart! Where could he have gone?" "No Quatre you're wrong. This is a Super
Wal-Mart. This thing goes on forever! We might never find him." Heero said, now
over his little trashcan lids and OZ thing. Quatre's eyes got very big and
tears started to form on the edges. "You're right! I've lost him and it's all
my fault and now we might never see him again!" Quatre said starting to cry.
"What's so bad about that?" Wufei asked. "Hey Quatre! What are you crying for?"
Duo asked coming up from behind the group. Suddenly Quatre stopped crying. "I
can't believe you! You gave us quite a scare and I'm very disappointed in you!"
Quatre said. "Well I can't see why! I just went to put M&M's on layaway. Oh
and I also did this really cool thing but you have to come with me to see it!"
Duo said pulling on Quatre's arm. Quatre followed Duo to the outdoors section
leaving the other pilots staring after them sweat-dropping. "I'm afraid, very
afraid!" Trowa said.
Duo brought
Quatre to a stop in front of a very large tent. "I put it together, what do you
think?" Duo asked hopping inside and sitting Indian style. Quatre nodded his
approval and started to step in but Duo stopped him. "You can only come in if
you bring pillows from Bed & Bath." Duo said. Quatre agreed and skipped off
in the direction of Bed & Bath. Just then Trowa, Wufei, and Heero wheeled
up and forced Duo to get out of the tent. "Wait I've got something for you too,
Heero." Duo said taking out two packages of gift-wrap. "I challenge you to a
duel." Duo said throwing one of the packages to Heero. "I accept." Heero said.
As Duo and Heero dueled Trowa and Wufei informed everyone who passed, whether
they asked or not, that they didn't know the two who were dueling. A few
minutes later, and right after Heero exclaimed that he had won loud enough for
the whole store to hear, Quatre walked up with the pillows that he promised to
Duo. "Okay Duo I got them." Quatre said. "Oh well see these party poopers wouldn't
let me stay in the tent so it's not going to work." Duo explained rubbing his
head where Heero had smacked it a couple of times. (see note at bottom) "Oh!
Okay." Quatre said a little disappointed. Maybe we should go?" Trowa said. "I
think we got everything we needed. Oh wait I forgot hair gel. Here," Trowa said
handing the cart to Quatre, "you take the cart to the front and I'll be there
in a minute." Trowa said rushing off. Quatre nodded and the boys headed to the
front of the store. As the cashier was running things over the scanner Duo
watched mesmerized. "Wow! Magic!" he said. When Trowa came back with the hair
gel and the boys were ready to leave Duo was still watching the scanner and
saying, "Wow! Magic!" every timed it beeped and the boys could not get him to
budge from his spot. Will the boys get home? Will Duo find out that it is only
a scanner? Will you read the note at the bottom? I guess we will never know!
NOTE AT BOTTOM
Did you
find it? I tried to label it carefully. Well anyway, have you ever noticed how
whenever Heero fences he always goes for the head! He did it when he fenced
that blond guy at St. Gabriel's Institute and later when he fenced with
Dorothy. Just a random thought! ^_~
Well review and just so you know I don't own anything! Just wanted to
make that perfectly clear!
