I DO NOT OWN ANYONE IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.

Katrina's Point of View-

I pulled into the parking lot of Wal Mart going up and down the lanes of spots finding one finally and turned the car off.

"Let's hope this is a quick trip." I said as I went to climb out, I waited until Abed got out before I locked the doors and started to walk around the car meeting Abed on his side.

"Yeah, it seems busy, I can only imagine that it's going to get more busy." Abed said which I nodded in agreement. We walked into the store, Abed broke our linked hands so he could go grab a cart for us to put our things in and I pushed the kids seat out and set my purse in it attaching it to the cart with the strap.

"We need wrapping supplies...I knew I forgot about something." I said as we walked through the second set of doors seeing the holiday stuff in front, we walked past them and went to the right, we looked down each aisle to see if we needed anything in those aisles, I found the aisle that had the travel sized items in them, I went down the aisle to the end of it where the items were, I grabbed the travel sized shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, mouth wash, body wash, and such that I needed. "What ones do you like?" I asked as I set mine into the cart, I looked at Abed and he skimmed over what I grabbed looked over the selection of the mini supplies grabbing what he liked out of what they had putting them in the cart.

"I usually bring the big versions of those." Abed said.

"I do too, but with my family, its very confusing and a pain, plus I'm sure my sister will hog the whole shower with her things, trust me."

"Oh..."

"And just letting you know, that it will probably be a loud house especially since I don't know what kind of baby Amy is." I said as we went around the corner and up the next aisle to get back to the main walk way.

"I don't mind..." Abed said as we turned left when we made it to the main walkway, we ended up at the holiday stuff finding cheap wrapping paper, and tape, we both had scissors that we needed for our school work and we figured we could just make name tags with paper or construction paper that I had at my dorm. We then headed over to the baby section to find things to buy Amy since she will only be 1-2 months old. We looked through the clothes picking out a couple outfits for her, then we bought a few bibs, bottles, towels, baby wipes and binky's for her. We couldn't really find any toys that she may like considering she is still so very young, we went over to the boy section looking at the clothes that a 4-5 year old could wear. "What does he like?" Abed asked as we looked over the different clothes.

"He likes his cartoons, so something like this Ben 10 or Phineas and Ferb shirt he will like, but he also likes sports like his dad."

"What team?" Abed asked.

"I don't know what team he likes, he does watch wrestling and MMA with his dad, needless to say Lindsey doesn't like it much but he is a daddy's boy." I said as I found a few MMA and wrestling shirts that he will fit.

"Do you encourage it?" Abed asked.

"I haven't watched it per say, but he is a boy, it's only natural that he would like some sort of sport even if it is wrestling or MMA." I said as I picked up one of the wrestling shirts, I didn't know who the stars were, I just looked at the difference between the red and blue shirt, I went with the blue since that seemed more like something he would like. "He's done..." I said, I led our way out of the section and headed to the food section that was right next to the clothes section.

"You want to get the food now? Why don't we split up now?" Abed asked as we stopped.

"I can't really buy your gift right now, I can't put it in the cart much less would I be able to check out right now." I said.

"True...what do you have in mind?" Abed asked.

"I think we should go get the food, take it out to the car then come back in then split up." I said.

"We could do that..." Abed said shrugging, we went over to the food section, I let him lead since I didn't know what he would need for this dish he was making, all I know is that it was going to be chicken of some sort. I watched him find what he needed, it seemed like a few vegetables, spices and chicken which looked like it might make a good dish, I grabbed a few snacks for our trips while he was looking through things trying to find the right ones. "That is the last ingriediant." Abed said setting a thing of tomatoes into the cart.

"Alright...it looks like it'll be a good dish." I said truthfully.

"It's not as spicy as most dishes but it will give you a taste of how spicy it may get."

"I told you to bring on the spice." I said as we made our way to the front seeing how long those lines were. "I'm starting to regret my decision about coming back in due to these lines..." I said stopping to the side.

"What do you suggest?" Abed asked.

"Go get another cart..."

"Why?"

"We are going to separate these things to what you will buy and what I will buy then we can go our different ways and then go into different lines so we only have to wait in these lines once."

"Seems smart." Abed said as he went out to where the carts were grabbing one and came back to where I was, we went through the contents in my cart separating into what he will buy and I would buy, then we separated going two different ways, and honestly I had no idea what else to get him. I decided to go to the electronics to view the cameras, yeah it may be expensive but it's worth a shot. I looked over the different cameras they had that he may like and the cheapest one they had was $60, but it looked like that was a good price for a camera like that, and I had an employee grab it for me and I put it in the cart for me to purchase up front with the other things. I looked in every aisle that I passed to make sure that Abed wasn't anywhere in sight so he couldn't see what I had gotten him. I waited in the long line, it seemed like the shortest at the time but it is only my luck that I get in the shortest line but it ends up longer because the people in front of me don't understand how to check out or the clerk did something stupid. I patiently waited, I kept looking around to see if I saw him in any lanes nearby or if he was already checked out waiting for me, I was hoping that he wasn't waiting on me because I don't need him to see me put his gift up on the check out lane. I was happy because I got to be the next person in line, I started putting my things up on the check out lane, when I finished putting the last item on the lane I stood up searching the lanes that I was facing seeing Abed at least five lanes down paying right now, lets hope he gets done and comes over here while I'm paying for it and it's already put in my cart. I tried to quicken the process as much as I could when it got to be my turn as I watch him slowly put things into his cart, I watched as he looked around for me, I waved trying to get his attention, he nodded and headed towards me but stopped and sat on a bench that was between us waiting for me to finish purchasing my things. I paid for my things, I finished loading up my cart and headed towards Abed who sat there patiently.

"Ready to go?" I asked trying not to look in his cart to get a hint of what he got me.

"Yep." Abed said standing up, we pushed our carts side by side towards the door we faced.

"We parked on this side or the other side?" I asked looking at what was surrounding this entrance trying to see if it looked familiar.

"I'm not sure..." Abed said turning to look at the other end of the store to see if the other end looked familiar.

"I'm sure we can find it...I have an alarm keychain." I said as we walked out the exit to the parking lot, we stopped outside the door before we walked out into the street so I could dig out my keys, and I pushed the unlock buttons but it didn't work because we weren't close. I scanned over the parking lot finding a blue BMW Bug like mine, so I led Abed towards that way in hopes that my unlock button would work. "I think that BMW is mine..." I said as Abed simply nodded as he just casually walked with me. As we got closer, I tried the button yet again and it went off which I end up squealing from happiness that it worked.

"What was that?" Abed asked curiously.

"I squeal when I get too happy." I said embarrassed a tad, I opened the trunk looking at the bags from the mall, I pulled out the bags from the trunk moving them to the back seat so we could set those bags in the trunk and I knew which bag had my gift because Abed turned his back to me as he picked it up and bent over it trying to hide it with his body as he tried to hide it under other bags so I couldn't see it, what he doesn't know is I hid his in the back seat with the other bags. I smiled at his protectiveness, but it was cute as he looked back at me in the process of it, I pushed my cart back so I can shut the door when he stepped out from under the door, he reached up helping me slam the door. "Race you." I said smiling at him, we both jogged a little before we jumped up onto the back of the cart riding it as much as we could then would run a tad more then jump back up onto the cart, I've never seen Abed laugh as much as he did. We stepped off our carts when we approached the cart return pushing them roughly into the return so it will go over the metal bar on the cement.

"Do you do that every time?" Abed asked after he let out his last laugh.

"Yeah...but I do it because I'm lazy and don't want to walk that much..." I said honestly.

"I've never done that before...it's quite adventurous..."

"That isn't that adventurous..." I said as we separated onto the two different sides of my car.

"It was to me..." Abed said getting me to smile and chuckle to myself, I rolled my eyes as I climbed into the drivers seat slamming the door shut when I was fully into the car.

"You sure you got all the ingriediants you need?" I asked double checking as I was buckling my seat belt.

"Yep, I am pretty sure of it..." Abed said.

"I'll wrap your presents while your cooking..." I said.

"I'll cook in my dorm, since I know for a fact I have all the proper cookware for this dish."

"Didn't realize that there was special cookware..." I said not thinking that there should be any special cookware besides pots and pans.

"It doesn't but I don't know what type or sized pots and pans you have, I know I have the right sized ones..."

"Okay..." I said, at least I'll be able to wrap his gifts without worrying about him being able to see it over my shoulder.

"I can wrap your gifts at my apartment when your making dessert..."

"I'm making dessert?"

"Yep..." Abed said smiling.

"Great...its going to be a last minute dessert, you know that right?"

"Yeah...it was great seeing you sweat though…I wasn't expecting you to make dessert…I was going to take you out to Baskin Robbins if it'll be open when we finish…." Abed said as I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye seeing him stare out the passenger side window.

"That will be great Abed…but after how much we spent today, I don't think we should…." I said honestly.

"Your probably right…." Abed said as I made the last turn into our dormitory parking lot trying to find a spot since someone had taken my spot when I pulled out. I found one that was at least in the second row of cars which isn't bad for the dorms.
