Carly and Sam walked down the street.

"Ok, a can of Blix, a jar of peanut butter, and 6 hard boiled eggs," said Carly.

"What's with the Blix?" Sam asked.

"It has only 101 calories!" Carly snapped.

"We still need to buy some…" Carly started to say.

"FAT CAKES!" Sam interrupted, screaming. A crowd of people glared at her. Sam smiled nervously and suddenly realized her shoes looked very interesting today.

"It's too late for fat cakes!" Carly complained. "It's 5:30; most of the stores are closed!"

"Not dat one," Sam said, pointing to a small store sitting in the middle of a parking lot.

"Convenience store?" Carly asked. "Come on! No one goes to…"

"Look, it's a convenience store, right?" Sam asked.

"Right…" Carly said.

"And it's here for our convenience, right?" Sam continued.

"Right…" Carly started to say before being pulled by Sam into the store.


"Funny enough," Carly said. "Convenience stores never smell like nail polish."

"Well, look at the dumbo-o-o here, Latanya!" said a strangely fat and masculine sounding woman at the counter.

"You said it, Laneesha!" a tall and skinny woman said. She was like Laneesha, only taller.

"Umm, thanks?" Sam said, turning her attention to a shelf full of fat cakes.

Carly grabbed a bag of popcorn and walked up to the counter. "If I buy this with a 20, could you give me change?" she asked.

"Well su-u-re, missy!" Latanya crowed. "'Cause, like, this be a b-a-a-nk!"

"No it ain't!" Laneesha yelled. "This be a st-o-o-re!"

"W-e-e give change!" Latanya continued, hitting Laneesha on the head with a frying pan.

Carly gave them a 20 and the popcorn. "Here's the popcorn," she said, a bit intimidated.

"And h-e-e-re's your change!" Latanya yelled, pouring a whole bucketful of pennies on Carly.

"What was that for?" Carly yelled, spitting a few pennies out of her mouth.

"That was your change!" Laneesha said, standing up. "That's what you wanted!"

"I'm leaving!" Carly said. She stamped out with her groceries, ignoring the fact that she'd left Sam behind.

"You scared away another customer!" Laneesha yelled at Latanya. Suddenly, they saw Sam eating a fat cake without paying for it.

"Hey, you buy that fat cake!" Latanya yelled.

"Not happening!" Sam said.

The 2…ah, "woman"…ran up to Sam with frying pans and baseball bats. Sam gave them the old heave-ho.

"I'm getting too old for this!" Laneesha yelled from the floor.

"Have a nice day," Sam said, grabbing a few pennies and tossing them into her pockets. She left with 10 more fat cakes.
