The Apprentice: SG-1 Series

Chapter 29: Shopping trip

~(^.^)~

"Skaara all the clothes you own Daniel and Jack gave you. You need to get more clothes, plus you need a suit for formal events," I stated, patting him on the shoulder.

"But did we have to come here to buy this stuff?" Skaara asked, glancing around him.

We were currently standing in the middle of the food court of the mall nearest to our house. It was filled with people, and you could barely take two steps without almost running into someone.

"Well it's the mall so yes we did. I mean you can't live on Earth and not go to the mall at least once," I replied, smiling at him.

He sighed, but let me lead him trough the mall. The first place we stopped at was Hot Topic, because really you can't go to the mall and not go into Hot Topic. We spent twenty minutes in Hot Topic looking through everything, and both of us left the store with a bag filled with shirts and in my case a few necklaces and earrings. Next we went to AƩropostale, and I have to say my husband is very picky when it comes to picking out clothes it's actually quite annoying. I'd picked out a few pairs of pants and shirts for him to try on, but he didn't want to go into the changing room.

"But when will I ever wear this, I'm always wearing those BDU's they make us wear on base," Skaara questioned. I groaned.

"How about when we go out on dates? You can't wear BDU's on our dates," I answered.

Skaara sighed, but conceded and stepped into the dressing room. After that it took another ten minutes for him actually to decide which of the clothes he was going to buy. Finally after being in Aeropostale for nearly thirty minutes we managed to pay for everything and move on to the next store. We then went to Fabio's Menswear to get him a couple suits. After that store he flat out refused to try on any more clothes or buy anything, so I just dragged Skaara around the mall buying things that I liked. Skaara carried most of the bags as I browsed through all the stores. At one point he muttered something that sounded suspiciously like 'this is so boring', 'Daniel was right', and 'she is nuts when she goes shopping', to which I promptly smacked him on his shoulder. He gave me a sheepish look and I just shook my head and pulled him into a shoe store.

I'd have to have a talk with Daniel later about some of the conversations he had with my husband. I mean yeah sure maybe in the past whenever Daniel and I went out to stores to buy stuff I would drag him all over the place and act kind of crazy but that didn't mean he had the right to say that to my husband! Eventually we walked back to the food court and grabbed some sushi. Skaara had never had sushi before so I thought why not get it and let him try it. He seemed to like the sushi and he even mentioned how it tasted like a dish that Sha're used to make back on Abydos. Once we were finished our sushi we left and headed back to the car. We packed all our bags into the car and headed off back to our house.

"I'm so glad that's over and we never have to go back to that place," Skaara muttered. I snorted and glanced over at him for a second.

"Oh Hun, no that is most defiantly not the last time we will be going to the mall," I stated. He looked over at me with wide horrified eyes then groaned. I couldn't help but laugh at the defeated look on his face. I guess shopping is just not his thing.

"I thought Daniel was joking when he said you got crazy when you went shopping, I didn't think he was being serious," Skaara moaned. I scowled at that, oh yeah defiantly gonna having to have a talk with Daniel later tonight.

"I am not a crazy shopper, I'm just... enthusiastic," I exclaimed. Skaara looked over at me with an 'oh really' look.

"You almost got into a fight with a teenage boy over a video game!" He stated. I gave him a quick glare before paying attention to the rode again.

"Hey it's not just any video game okay, it was Batman: Arkham Knight, and it was the last copy they had in the store. I have been wanting to get that game since I first heard they were coming out with it," I defended. I could just barely see Skaara roll his eyes out of the corner of my eyes. I scowled.

"It's just a game," Skaara said.

"No Batman game is just a game, okay. Don't mock the bat!" I replied. Skaara shook his head but let it drop.

"You'll see when we get home we are playing this game and you will see just how great this game is," I declared. Skaara muttered something in Abyodian that I couldn't hear and I glanced over at him for a second.

"What was that?" I questioned.

"Nothing! Nothing at all," He replied, glancing out the window.

"Ugh huh sure," I mumbled, shaking my head.

We staid silent the rest of the ride home, and when we got back I made good on my promise that we'd play the game. When we did finally stop playing Skaara helped me put away the stuff we bought, though we did have to stop and chase Pongo around the house for a good twenty minutes after he snatched one of the bags off the bed and ran off with it. I swear that dog loves to chew on my stuff! He never chews on any of Skaara's stuff, just mine! It wasn't till the next day that I managed to find Daniel, and then I spent thirty minutes chewing him out about what he said about me to Skaara, while Jack, who'd heard I was on my way to yell at Daniel and decided he had to see it for himself, stood by in the corner of Daniel's office snickering the whole time.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing in our office cataloging artifacts and translating tablets and documents. When I got home that night me and Skaara continued to play Arkham Knight, and I couldn't help but snicker and say 'I told you so' when he admitted that the game was actually really awesome...

~(^.^)~

AN: Okay so I know Batman Arkham Knight came this year but let's just say for the purpose of this story the game came out a hole heck of a lot earlier, like back during the year this story takes place. On that note I just have to say I love the Batman Arkham games, I have Arkham city and I love playing it and I really, really, really want to get Arkham Knight, which is why I might have put it in here that Adolfina got the game! Hope you like this short little chapter, don't forget to review.
