So this dedicated to CallMeSoldier, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her! Another short chapter but only because it's the same day split into two. Hope you enjoy, and Happy Memorial Day! (Btw thanks to everyone who reviewed, it means the world to me!)

Oh, and one more thing: from now on I'm going to count down the days left in the two weeks(that they have to be there) just so you know when it's the same day or whatever. And they arrived on a Wednesday so this is Thursday afternoon, last chapter was Thursday morning. Sorry for the confusion

13 days left

Iggy POV

I tried not to focus on the fact that Sexy And I Know It was blaring from the car's speakers and just look the other way but I wanted more than anything to start screaming the lyrics aloud. Don't do it, don't do it, don't-

"Iggy, why do you look constipated?" I turned to see the blonde kid looking at me expectantly.

"Gazzy, be don't be rude." Anne calls from the driver's seat.

We were all, (except Dr. Martinez), in Anne's minivan driving into town to go shopping! And no actually that wasn't sarcasm. I actually don't mind shopping, especially food shopping. And a video game is really what I need right now. I think I broke my record for not playing for more than 12 hours!

"That's not constipated, this is" I make my best face at him. He laughs before turning back around. Angel giggles in the seat next to him making Nudge and Ella turn to see what she's laughing at. Dr. Martinez smiles at me in the rear-view mirror, Fang rolls his eyes, and Max stares out the window with a sad face. What's her deal?

"We're almost there." Dr. Martinez informs us.

I finally give in when the Best Day Ever from SpongeBob starts to play, screaming every word with a strong passion.

"…..ITS THE BEST DAY EVERRRRRR, IT'S THE BEST DAY EVERRRRR." The song sadly comes to an end just as we pull into a huge Walmart parking lot about halfway filled. I looked at Max first this time, she had a deep scowl on her face.

"Everybody out!" We all jump out of the car the hour long ride making us extra anxious to to walk around and breathe some fresh air. I'm pretty sure Gazzy ripped one about 20 minutes back and that kid isn't called 'Gazzy' for nothing. "Because it takes so long to get here, we are going to split up to save time." Anne explained. "I'm going to the grocery store across the street with Angel, but I need some errands run while we are here. Do you guys mind taking care of a few things for me before you go off looking for room decorations?"

"Not at all, what do you need us to do?" Ella responded for us stepping forward. I really didn't mind but Max seemed to disapprove of being spoken for and Fang just stood there with a blank expression.

Anne smiled, pleased with the well-mannered girl and started explaining how she needed to drop something off at the dry cleaners, pick up something at the pet store, and something about getting a nail clipper for the chickens or something, I don't know, kinda spaced out, sue me.

We went our separate ways and started wandering toward the block of shops where Anne said we could find everything she needed.

"To the dry cleaners!" I said punching my fist in the air and running ahead of everyone toward an old store with an almost illegible sign that read 'Anna's Dry Cleaners'. A small bell above the door announced my arrival but the shop was empty. I turned around to see them taking their time and still about a good 36 seconds away. I quickly searched the room for some camouflage and my eye caught the perfect cover. I dashed toward the bear costume hung against the wall and quickly put it over my clothes. The bell started to ring as I stood against the wall perfectly still. Gazzy came in first followed closely by Ella, Nudge, Fang, and lastly Max. Max looked like she needed some cheering up today, I guess she would be my target.

"Where'd Iggy go? I could have sworn he just ran into here, how did he disappear so fast?" Nudge asked looking around the room.

"Who knows" Ella said. What was that supposed to mean?

Max started walking around the store with everyone some of them yelling my name. She headed toward the back of the store. No come back! Other way, turn around, I'm over here! Of course I didn't say it aloud but maybe enough will power would get her to fall right into my trap. The others still wandered around oblivious to my presence.

"No one's back there." Max said coming toward the front again. Yes, toward the wall now, keep walking, just a bit to the left….

She was a few feet away from me now but facing me, it's not that I thought she would see me (though that would ruin it too) but that I couldn't attack her from the front. It would just be….awkward. I shuddered. She noticed the movement right away. Ooops! Stay still, I told myself she might not see you if you just stood still. She walked right up to me and looked me in the eyes (thank God for the mask). Don't blink, I dare you NOT to blink… She looked away. I internally sighed, that was close. Wait but her back was to me now perfect I just- "Maxie, give me a hug!" I yelled grabbing her into a big bear hug. (Get it, cuz I'm in a bear costume…oh never mind) She turned around terrified in my arms before kneeing me right in the- HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT HURTS! I fell onto my knees, then face-first to the floor. Never doing that again…

Sorry again for the length and it's not my best because I kinda rushed to get it done and uploaded. Review!
