Hello world, it's supermariogirl! Wow, another chapter already? Yep! Anyway, we're at the big 1-0! Double digits! Also, more than 20 reviews! Awesome sauce!
ThoseRedLights: I've never heard of Mew Mew Power. Is it any good? And thanks, I'll try to keep Whitney in character. Also, what's unnecessary? And yes, shopping is annoying(unless it's for video games or food.)
PixelsShattered: Yeah, I don't like pie either(unless it's chocolate pie), but I wanted to be clever and say "the pie is a fake" instead of the usual "the cake is a lie", 'cause I thought it was a clever pun. :) Thank you for the review.
Also, am I the only one who's noticed the sudden barrage of ads all over this site? For some reason there's more ads than normal, and some words are now links to more ads. It's only been happening here, and it's driving me crazy! It showed up on my Kindle, so it can't be just the laptop being weird. Is anyone else having this problem? Like right now, some of the words I'm typing turn into ads! What the hell...

When they arrived at the grocery store, Whitney looked around in awe. So many people, and there was food everywhere.
"Wow, this place is bloody huge!" she exclaimed, looking around frantically. "So is this where you get food?" she asked. Chett nodded and typed something on his phone.
Yes, but don't think that it's some sort of "take all the food you want" deal. Just stay with me and don't wander around, understood?
"Alright, fine." she replied. She watched as Chett grabbed a shopping cart, and put a quarter in a small slot near the handle. Then he pulled it from the line of other carts. "Why'd you put that small disk in the cart?" she asked. Chett got out his phone again.
It's the store's way of making sure nobody steals the cart.
"Oh, I see. Makes sense. I mean, I wouldn't want people stealing stuff like that. Just awful, y'know? Awful." she rambled on. They began walking through the various isles, Chett was picking up certain items from the shelf. Whitney noticed that there there many, many, types of food, more than she knew existed. There were all sorts of things she was now able to try, and it excited her. While they continued shopping, Whitney noticed something. It looked like a strange machine, and it had a glass ball with colorful pieces inside. "Hey, what's that over there?" she asked. Chett typed on his phone.
It's a gumball machine.
"What does it do?" she asked.
It gives you a small piece of candy when you put a quarter in it.
"Candy?" she replied. She remember one of the memories she had as a core. "I think I remember one day at the facility, there was candy." she continued. "I think there was a day where the scientists brought their sons to work with them, and they gave the little humans candy. I don't remember it well, but that was the last time I saw the other scientists for some reason..." When Whitney mentioned that, Chett froze. He shuddered for a moment, then began to type something.
Please don't talk about that day...
"Oh, uh, sorry 'bout that. Didn't know you didn't want me to..." she mumbled. "But, can I get a candy from the machine? Please?" she asked, sounding like she was begging a bit. He rolled his eyes and gave her a quarter. "Thanks!" she ran up to the machine. After a minute of two, she came back. "Wow." she mumbled, chewing gum in her mouth. "Tis shtuff ish good!" Chett silently laughed for a bit as the two continued shopping.
After the groceries were done, they walked into another store. This store was a bit different. It was filled with clothes hanging on racks, folded on shelves, and some clothes were being worn by pale, creepy looking statues.
"What are we here for, Chett?" Whitney asked. He typed.
We're here to get you some new clothes. Like I told you before, you can't wear the same clothes every day.
"Oh, I see." she replied. "Well, I guess I can see what I what to wear." The two walked to the women's section of the store, and began looking for clothes. It took a lot longer than Chett had anticipated. A while later, Whitney was holding a huge pile of clothes. Chett typed some more.
Are you done yet? We've been at this for almost an hour!
"Oh! We have? Well, I picked out what I want." she told him.
Okay, now you have to go try them on.
"I do? Well, okay I'll do that now. I'll just-" Chett stopped her. He typed some more.
Not here! In the changing room!
"Oh! Silly me! I should've known that. Can you show me this changing room?" she asked. Chett walked her over to the changing area and pointed to the door that said "Ladies". Whitney got the idea. "Oh, I get it now! Okay, let me just go and change. I'll try them all on!" she said, then looked at the pile of clothes she was carrying. "This might take a long time, though. Just warnin' you ahead of time. That's all." she walked into the changing stall.
The next hour was pretty uneventful for both Whitney and Chett. Whitney changing into an outfit, walking out and looking in the mirror, Chett giving a thumbs up or thumbs down, Whitney walking back in, rinse and repeat. But then, she changed into the last outfit. She walked out of the stall, wearing what looked like a small, blue t-shirt with a light gray bird on it, and a short, blue-gray skirt.
"So, how do I look?" she asked, smiling. Chett looked in shock at the outfit. It wasn't that it looked bad on her, it just, the outfit made her look...cute. Chett felt himself almost blushing at her appearance, but quickly recovered. No, he didn't just blush at the woman who once tried to kill him. Nope. Forget that just happened. But it did just happen. "Hey, are you okay? Is my outfit terrible?" she asked, a bit worried. Chett shook his head and typed on his phone.
No, no. It's just that the outfit's a bit... too small. That skirt is a bit short for you.
"Don't worry." Whitney laughed. "I understand. Nothing to worry about. Wasn't planning on getting that bloody thing anyway, hehe. Anyway, I picked out what I wanted, so we can finish now." she told him. Chett sighed in relief.
After buying what they needed, the two started to walk back to the apartment. While they were walking, Whitney couldn't help but think about Chett's reaction to that last outfit she tried on.
"I wonder why he acted strange when he saw me in that outfit..." she thought. "Was that another human thing? But why did that one outfit make him act weird when all the others didn't?" Meanwhile, Chett was thinking the same thing. He couldn't believe he did that. Although, he kind of wished Whitney decided to keep that outfit...
Chett mentally slapped himself for thinking like that.
And that was chapter 10, folks! I hope this chapter didn't suck, I did have the idea for this chapter for a while. I hope I'm not rushing anything. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
ALSO! That poll I put up will be open for voting until the 26th or so. I won't be updating next week because from Saturday until the Saturday after that I'll be in Florida(I GET TO GO TO DISNEY WORLD YAY). I'll try to get at least one more update later this week before I go to the Sunny State. While I'm on vacation I won't update but I will go online every once in a while to check on things, but you won't be hearing anything from me during that time. So when I get back, the poll will be closed. Anyway, here's the question of the day:
Question of The Day: Have you been to Disney World?
