10. Shopping

"So, what's our situation, Number Two?" The Pirate Captain asked.

The second in command looked over their list. "Looks like we'll need about seven more hams. We just ran out of limes, so we should probably get another crate of those." Satisfied with their shopping list, the Pirate Captain began looking through their maps. There happened to be a small North American town nearby they could stop at. But one thing the pirates noticed was that this town didn't just a have a butcher's shop and a farmers' market and a bakery. They had all these things, but in one place, a sort of 'Mega Farmer's Mart' if you will. They were all under one roof. It was actually a clever idea, you wouldn't have to go all over town to different places.

Naturally the curious Pirates went there. The mart was huge, and there were plenty of things to look at. Each pirate grabbed a metal shopping cart and explored the vast aisles of food and snacks.

"These cakes sure do look good," Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate commented.

"And look at the cute faces on the cookies," Albino Pirate added.

"Look, a whole tank of lobsters!" The pirate with Gout pointed out, "now that would make them a lot easier to catch, wouldn't it?"

"Aww, Black Beard and his girlfriend broke up," said the Pirate who liked Kittens and Sunsets, shaking his head as he flipped through the magazines, "that's a shame."

"I'm not sure about this Captain Morgan," said the Pirate Captain, looking at a poster, "just because you sell spiced rum doesn't make you a big shot."

"Hmm, four boxes for the price of two," the Pirate with a Scarf said, looking at the sign, "So does that mean if you buy two it'll be the same price of one?"

Needless to say, there was a lot to discover there. There was even a 'Make your own bag of Candy' aisle that the pirates loved. By the time they were done, the pirates' carts were filled. "We'll take all of this," the Pirate Captain said with a pleasant smile, happy that they had found so much good food and great deals.

"Uh-huh," said the bored cashier. Not saying much, he simply totaled up the prices and took their money.

"Well, that was fun," Albino Pirate commented.

"Yep, those lobsters should taste great," The Pirate with Gout added.

"I haven't had bread in ages," said another pirate smiling. As the pirates continued walking away from the store and towards the ship and their next adventure, the Pirate with a Scarf looked at the cart. It was filled, but it felt like they were forgetting something. He stopped walking.

"Wait," he said, "Did we get the ham and the limes?"

"..." "..." "..."

"Um, we'll buy these too," said the Pirate Captain quietly, placing the hams and limes on the counter as his crew stood behind him, trying not to look too embarrassed for themselves."

"Uh-huh," the cashier said, not really caring.

I've actually done this a couple times, go to the store for mainly just a couple things or those couple things are something I buy all the time, and yet I forget them and have to go back in to buy them, lol. I figured it might be something the pirates would do too. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and please review.
