Chapter 3: And A Soda
Ron said, "Exchange it?"
"Oh, yeah."
"We've got some down time. You want to head to the mall now?" Ron asked after he had finished wolfing down the rest of his food.
"Sure, why not," Kim replied.
As they got up from their seats, Kim continued, "I know I apologized for being jealous that you were succeeding in something I was struggling at. I never did apologize for dragging you into the job with me. I shouldn't have gone behind you back like that."
"Oh well, it worked out in the end," he replied without giving it a second thought.
Seeing how quickly Ron had moved on from it all, Kim thought to herself, that is so like him. If things turn out well, that's all that ever seems to matter.
About halfway to the mall, Kim asked, "So Ron, What's at the mall that you want to see? I know this trip isn't just so I can exchange this Club Banana Jacket."
"I figure I go check out the video gamage. It's going to be badical!"
Kim said, "Yeeeeaaaah, well when we get there, I'll head to Club Banana and you can check out the video gamage with Rufus."
"Meetcha in the food court when I'm done then KP?"
"Sounds like a plan Ron."
As Kim walked over to Club Banana, Ron headed to the other side of the mall. Getting to the video game store, he saw the price of the Fortress Game upgrade in the window. "Uh Oh," he said to himself as he realized he actually didn't have enough money to buy it after buying the jacket for Kim yesterday. He was about to walk away when he notice a huge for sale sign in the store.
Entering he noticed it was a Zombie Mayhem 2 display. "Now that is lucky Rufus. My copy got fried last week, now I can get a replacement. Booyah!."
"Uh,huh," Rufus replied to Ron's Booyah.
Walking out of the video store, Ron headed for the food court's Bueno Nacho.
As Kim walked out of Club Banana, she said to herself, "Should have known it from this month's catalog. Not much to choose from this month. At least I got a gift card out of it. I'll just use it when some better merchandise comes in."
"Yo Kim OVER HERE."
Kim turned to the direction of the shout and saw Ron sitting in the food court with a Bueno Nacho bag at the table. Walking up to him she said, "Got your game now?"
"Saw something better. You remember when your brothers fried my Zombie Mayhem 2 game last week?"
"Yes, the gadget they used the circuitry in put a hole in my bedroom floor. What of it?" Kim replied as she rolled her eyes in annoyance at the memory.
"I got a replacement cartridge for it. Oh, almost forgot, I got this too. Here, catch!" Ron said as he tossed a bottle at Kim.
"Okay?" Kim said as she caught the bottle.
"It's the soda that I owe you from the jinx inside the giant cheese wheel." Ron said answering her question.
"And you tossed it at me?"
"Yeah, you probably shouldn't open that for about 5 minutes. Just to be safe."
"Well thanks for the soda Ron," she said as she put the bottle into her backpack.
"You're welcome KP."
