Operation: Food
Heero stopped the car, then turned around and looked at the other Gundam pilots. "You have your lists?" They all nodded, and Duo flashed a grin and a victory sigh, which Heero ignored. "Good. Commence Operation Food." He climbed out of the car, then went in.
After a few minutes, Duo emerged from the skylight, Trowa from the window, and Quatre from the side door. Struggling a little, Wufei crawled out from under the car. The four nodded to each other, then silently advanced on the target.
Heero pulled a shopping cart from the stack near the door. Signalling to the others to split up, he pushed the cart down the centre aisle, occasionally pausing to look at labels.
A while later, Quatre walked by, dropping a packet of curry in the cart. Trowa scaled a shelf a few aisles away and tossed a packet of pasta. Wufei caught it, without loking up, and put it in the cart on his way past, along with a tin of tomatoes.
Duo bounded along, threw a huge bag of sugar in, and shot Heero a huge smile. Heero resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
The next time Wufei came through, he casually put the rice in, then looked, shocked, at the 10-kg bag of sugar. Sighing, he took it out, then continued down the aisle, snatching a package of candy from Duo on the way past. Duo pouted, but once Wufei was out of sight, produced the bag of sugar again and, with a wink, replaced it in the cart. Heero did roll his eyes this time, but hid the bag under the rice and pasta, just so the two didn't continue for the rest of the trip.
Finally, they headed for the check-out. The cashier, who'd been watching with amusement all the while they were shopping, smiled at them. "Are you five together?"
Heero froze. Duo bounced up, grinning. "You could say that…" He immediately began flirting with her, ensuring she'd remember nothing else, while the others escaped to the car with the shopping.
Five minutes later, Duo got in the car, waving a phone number and grinning. Quatre, who'd been sorting through the shopping, gasped.
"We forgot the fruit!"
