QUICK FIX: ATF! Life doesn't always go the way we plan. Nor does it allow us to dictate where we shop. All we can do is choose. Warning: reactions may vary.

DISCLAIMER: Quacked Lurker owns none of the realties, worlds, stores or characters mentioned in this fic. ENJOY!

Standish balked when he saw the store.

JD Dunne sighed and turned. "Aren't you coming in?"

"I will not be seen in that so-called store!"

JD looked behind him. "We're not getting clothing. I just need to pick up some household supplies."

Ezra shuddered. "Cheap does not mean better! I refuse to set one foot in the building."

"What's wrong with Walmart?"

Green eyes blazed. "Nothing is 'wrong' with Walmart, per say. It has more to do with the fact this particular branch portrays itself as a superstore, and guaranteed low prices. Nothing was said of quality!"

The twenty-three year old man shook his head, letting his black hair dangle in his eyes momentarily. "Shopping here means we only need to stop once, instead of three or four stores, and should get done quickly. Where do you suggest, since Walmart is unacceptable to your standards?"

Mr. Standish pretended to think about it. "Hmm," he mussed. "None of the team is a Costco member, and since we're not looking to buy in bulk, let us avoid that particular members-only-chain." The slightly older man refused to slump. "Time-wise, you are correct that Walmart is our best option at this time, and if we weren't in a hurry to replace the mismanaged items, but Best-Buy would have the quality I desire."

JD's smirk was not quite hidden in his hazel eyes. "We could always go to Radio Shack for the wires and electronics."

Exra's face filled with horror. He marched towards the entrance of the store, pushing past his companion. "Let's get this over with before the rest of the team finds us missing."

JD chuckled. "You mean, before Chris walks into his ranch and sees the state of the television." Mentally, the young man added 'and finds the first-aid kits in the bathroom depleted, cause the 'expired' medical supplies were tossed.'

"I said no such thing."

"Sure you did."

Laughing, the two men, short in statue, but not in presence, quickly made their way inside, not quite prepared for the first-weekend crowd packing the store.
