Rick – Lisa my Dear, Stop arguing with your husband. The sales clerk thinks we are married. So let us not screw it up. It is nice. Okay?

Rick and Lisa walk quietly out of the mall. Rick was caring some of the bags and Lisa was caring the rest of them.
Lisa – We spent too much money we where suppose to get only for Roy and Claudia.
Rick – Lisa both of Roy and Claudia will not be mad at us for shopping for us.
Lisa – But you did not get anything for yourself.
Rick – Don't worry about it I am fine.
Rick and Lisa soon get to the Car. As they are putting the bags and packages in the car a limo pulls through and stops a second close to them. Both Rick and Lisa quickly turn around to look.
Rick – okay who is this?
Lisa - I have no idea.
As they look at the Limo the window near them slowly starts to come down to show was the passage of the limo.
Rick – Minmie?
As Rick said her name Lisa quickly got nerves about her surroundings. And hoping Rick does not make a fool of himself. But she was going to watch and see what happens.
Minmie – Oh look at the two Hunters. Out shopping today I see well I have a new record and poster that are coming out. Rick if you want either or both I can get you one of each.
Rick – No thank you I can get my own if I want any.
Lisa quickly sees that Rick don't really want anything from Ms Singing star.
Rick – Minmie if you will excuse us I have to go to the hospital and get rechecked out for my shoulder. You know the one you help hurt.
As soon as Rick finished saying that the Limo window quickly rolled up and the Limo left to go toward the mall.
Rick – Well okay then she is still mad at me. Lisa, Lisa do you hear me?
