Well, here you guys go. Chapter 3 of the Christmas one-shots, what will happen at Walmart to get them kicked out? Let's find out.
Blah blah blah, You know I don't own Ninjago, Layla, or Amber.
Wind's POV
The next day we headed to Walmart, already filled with plans on how to get kicked out. "I don't see how you can get kicked out of a store" Kai said. I smiled at him "Trust me, in the real world, everything is possible" I replied.
With that, Rain grabbed a gift wrapping tube and hopped in a buggy. "Melanie, push me!" she exclaimed. Melanie smiled and grabbed the buggy. I then ran off and grabbed a gift wrapping tube and hop in my own buggy. "Layla, want to push me?" I asked. Layla grinned "Sure" she said.
"FOR HOGWARTS!" Rain yelled as Melanie pushed her towards me. "FOR NARNIA!" I yelled as Layla began to push me. Our buggies flew by each other and our gift wrapping tubes hit each other, flying out of our hands and across the aisle. "Run!" Amber said.
Rain and I quickly hopped out of the buggies and fled to a random aisle. "Ok now what? You already trashed one aisle" Cole said, eyeing us suspiciously. "Well, we were thinking of building a fort in the drinks section and throwing things at customers" Melanie said, smiling sheepishly. Cole sighed and shook his head, but followed us anyways.
We began to stack the cardboard boxes that held soda cans to build the ultimate fort. "Layla, Amber, go grab some balls to throw at the customers. Kai, Lloyd, go grab more wrapping tubes. We're going to need them for weapons. Cole, Zane, go get some plates for shields. And Jay, go get some face paint for extra measures" Rain instructed.
Everyone nodded and left while the three of us continued to get the fort ready. Man, was it going to be fun. "Mommy, mommy, the troublesome trio are back" a little boy, no older than 7, said, looking at us. I grinned at him. We had recently become even more famous over the past few weeks. The mother's eyes widened and she picked up her son and ran off.
As everyone returned with the stuff, we finished the fort and got ready. "Wait, Melanie, isn't it your dad's shift?" I asked. Melanie nodded "Yeah, it is" she replied. "It makes it even better!" Rain added.
"Melanie, Rain, Wind, what are you three up to?" a voice asked. The three of us looked up innocently at an employee. "Heh, hey dad" Melanie said, scratching her neck nervously. "We're not doing anything!" I replied. "Really?" he asked, looking over at the ninja, Layla, and Amber. "Who're your friends?" he added. "They're just some kids we met on the school bus" Rain explained.
"Ok, I'm leaving now, because the troublesome trio is already bad enough, but when they bring more of their friends in the plan, it gets worse" he said, before leaving. Melanie sighed with relief "That was close" she said. "Why did he call you three the troublesome trio?" Zane asked.
"Well, this is a small town where almost every family knows each other. And um, well, over the years, the three of us have hung out and gotten these crazy ideas, and actually doing them. Sometimes they led to trouble. Don't worry, it was never anything serious. Just the usual 'you're grounded, no cell phone, TV, or hanging out with your friends' case." Rain explained. "Eventually, we ended up getting the nickname, Troublesome Trio, because we got into so much trouble, and there are three of us" Melanie finished.
Jay sighed and shook his head. "You guys are crazy" he replied. "No wonder we get along so well" Layla added. Amber nodded in agreement. I smiled at them "Well, that's what happens. We're still actually better than most kids out there" I said.
We began to wait for customers to come, hitting them with balls and smacking them with wrapping tubes. Eventually we went too far. Let's just say, we were being chased by an elderly couple.
"Way to go guys! You angered the elderly! You call yourself citizens?" Lloyd yelled as we continued to run. "Less talking, more running!" I replied. "Guys, we could just walk you know" Rain said, slowing her pace. "RAIN! RUDE! SHOW SOME RESPECT!" Melanie exclaimed. "Says the person who angered them!" Cole said.
We continued to run until we came to the electronics section. "Quick, hide behind the counter!" I shouted. "But that's employees only territory" Zane said. "IT'S LIFE OR DEATH DUDE!" Melanie shouted, running ahead. She jumped and dove behind the counter, and we shortly followed. "Are they gone?" Layla asked. "I don't know. Amber go check" I said.
"What? Why me?" Amber asked. I sighed. "You're the youngest, and elders love little kids" I replied. "Fine" Amber replied and reluctantly looked up. "We're clear" she said, and we all walked out into the open.
"Well, this has been interesting" Jay commented. Just then I gasped and squealed, running towards the toys section. A huge ad had caught my attention. "Wind, wait up!" Rain called, following after me. Once I reached the section I ran down a certain aisle and grabbed a toy, clinging on to it. "My precious, my precious" I muttered, stroking it.
"Uh…" Kai said, looking at me, a bit freaked out. "RAIN! MELANIE, SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!" he yelled. Melanie only laughed at him. "Nah, she's fine. She just found a toy she really wants" she said, picking up one from the shelf, and showing it to him.
"They really do make products of us here" Jay commented, looking over Kai's shoulder. Rain nodded "Yeah, and you should've seen Wind's basement BEFORE the party. It was covered with Ninjago items" Rain added.
I finally returned to my normal hyper self and looked up at them. "Oh yeah, who wants that 460 dollar Harry Potter Wizard's collection that comes with all the movies, a map of Hogwarts, a blueprint of Hogwarts, and a horcrux locket?" I asked dreamily. "That would be all three of us" Melanie said, sighing.
"Whatever. Let's get kicked out of Walmart!" Rain said, reminding us of the reason why we were here in the first place. I nodded in agreement. "Right, let's continue" I replied, and led the way.
We finally got kicked out two hours later when we had a snowball fight, advertising Kmart. We left the place, laughing and joking. "And that people, is how teenagers in the real world spend their Saturday morning" I said. "Really, because the manager was saying how he had never seen such an odd group of kids that could be such responsible people one minute, and irresponsible the next" Cole said, glaring at us.
"Oh, they were just joking. The manager sees us atleast once a week. It's a game we do with them. They even told us to keep coming back because we keep life interesting there" I said. "They do have a point. The manager was smiling" Amber said. Lloyd nodded in agreement.
"Not to mention, he didn't look that mad" Layla added. "Oh man. I would go insane if I saw you guys at least once a week, wreaking havoc. Oh wait, I did. It was during the summer" Jay said. "We were not that bad over the summer. Don't forget, we actually helped you guys" I scoffed. "And then you left us" Cole said. "We had school!" Melanie countered, defending us.
"Drop it you guys. I seem to recall you four were saying it was too quiet without having them around to tell stories of adventure in the real world" Amber said. "Yeah, it was pretty lonely without them" Lloyd said. "Hey, Amber and I were interesting!" Layla said, pretending to be hurt.
We all laughed at them. "Come on. Just wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we go around town dressed as Slenderman to see how many people we can freak out" I said. "What do you guys have? A schedule?" Jay asked. "Yep. It's all linked to our IPods." Rain replied, pulling her IPod out.
"On Monday we're going to go have a scavenger hunt…to see who can get the most stuff….from other people's carts. At target? In a different town?!" Zane asked. "Uh-oh. They weren't supposed to know about that. RUN!" Melanie yelled. With that, we began to run as the ninja, Layla, and Amber began to chase us.
There you have it. I was laughing about them being chased and diving under the counter. I couldn't resist adding a chase scene.
