Chapter 9: Shopping and Lunch

Once everyone was in the car, they headed out to the nearest car deal ship. A half an hour they arrived at the car deal ship. As they got out of the car Brennan turned to Jesse and said,

"Remember Jess, the car can't be more then the Packard, ok?"

"Sure." He replied as he started to look at the cars. After a few minutes of looking around, they were greeted by a sales man.

"Hello. May I help you with anything?"

"Well my friend here destroyed my car, and now I looking for a new one."

"What car did you have, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I had a 1952 Packard."

"Wow...So what kind of car are you looking for?"

"He is looking for a nice hot, neon pink, volts wagon." Shalimar said jokily.

"I'm looking for a car that not as expensive as the Packard, but it has to be full of tech. and also very stylish."

"Um, I'm not sure if we have something that fits your description. But I'm sure I can look in to it for you."

"That would be great. Let me give you my cell number, then you can get back to me." After giving the man his number, Jesse, Brennan, Shalimar and Emma got back into the Mustang and went to Burger king for lunch.

"So Jesse you'll let me drive the car right?"

"Well Brennan it depends on the mode I'm in, and how you been treating me."

"What?! I should-"

"You know Brennan you should be happy that Adam is only making you pay for a new car, and not take anything away." Shalimar cut in.

"She's right. so Brennan stop acting like a baby, and eat." Emma said.

"I'm not acting like a baby." Brennan said throwing some French fries at her.

"Not again." Jesse said under his breath.

Emma had returned the French fries to Brennan buy throwing them at him, which started o French fry war. Then Shalimar started to throw some ketchup infested fries at Brennan.

"Hey! You know I don't like ketchup."

"That's why I did it."

Brennan took Emma's little thing of ketchup and hurled it at Shalimar. But he missed her and got Jesse right square on the chest, making his shirt red with ketchup.

"Dammit Brennan!" Jesse said.

"Sorry it was Shal. She started it."

"No, Brennan you did. When you threw fries at Emma." Shalimar said in defense.

"You know I think that we need to go before we get thrown out." Emma said.

"Ok lets go."

They got up, threw away their trash and headed out the door. Not paying attention to the faces that some people made as they walk by (most of the people were old). Once they were outside, Jesse took off his ketchup stain shirt ant threw it at Brennan, leaving him only in his white muscle shirt.

"Why did you throw this at me?" Brennan asked as he hold the shirt away from him.

"Cuse you are going to wash it for me."

"Of course."

Once they all got into the car, and were all settle and one their way home, Shalimar did not waste anytime with letting the others on her little idea.

"Hey guys lets not go home just yet."

"Ya, when was the last time we had a free day?" Emma asked

"Well I Jesse, declare that this day, shall be a free day, for all the Mutant X team members, so that Sparky here, can by me a new shirt and car."

"Here, here!" Shalimar and Emma yelled in agreement with big smiles.

"Hold up. Let get a few things straight, ok. One: Who are you to 'declare' anything. Two: Who gave you permission to call me 'sparkly'. And thirdly: Who said anything about buying you a new shirt?"

"Well Brennan, I don't know about you, but we need a free day, so I don't really care who 'declares' it as long as we get one. And who gives you permission to call me 'smart ass'. And lastly Adam told you to do anything I tell you. So you get to buy me a new shirt, because who got ketchup on it."

"The ketchup will wash out. And if you want get a new shirt, buy it yourself, rich boy."

"Oh the thief is getting touchy."

"Smart ass." Brennan said under his breath, but Jesse was still able to hear it.

"You need to work on your whispering...sparkly."

"So, to the mall it is." Shalimar said trying to stop the boys from getting into a verbal fight.

After three hours at the mall, the Mutant X team headed back to Sanctuary. Emma and Shalimar had ten bags each, filled with clothes. Jesse bought some shirts and some computer stuff for him to play with. Brennan got a new poetry book and a shirt for Jesse. But it was a size to small. You can say it will fit better on a two year old. Once they pulled into the driveway, Emma and Shalimar ran into their rooms to start trying on their cloths. Jesse went to go work on the helix, while Brennan went to talk with Adam.

"Adam do I really have to buy Jesse a new car?"

"Yes you do. Did he pick one yet?"

"No, he's going to find the best one. So it might take some time."

"So what else did you guys do. I doubt you guys took about five hours looking for a car."

"Well around lunch time Jesse 'declare a free day for all Mutant X team member.'" Brennan said mimicking Jesse. "So we went to the mall."

"Well I got to talk to Jesse about 'declaring a free day' with out talking with me. Have fun?" Adam said jokily.

"Ya we did. Anything happen when we were out?"

"No it was quite."

"That's good...well I'm going to work out, or do I have to check with Jesse?"

"No, but can you see if he needs help with the helix. He told me that he'll be working on it, right before you came in."

"Ok I'll check with him."

Walking out of the lab, Brennan headed to the hanger were Jesse was. When he was at the helix he saw the helix door was still suck. So he started to bang the side of plan.

"Who is it?" Jesse asked from inside.

"It's sparkly."

"Sparky! What do you want?"

"Need help?"

"Ya." Without any warning Jesse phased the place where Brennan was leaning up against, making him fall inside."

"Could of warn me." Brennan said getting up.

"Just keeping you on your toes."

"So what do you need help with?"

"Well I'm re-wringing the whole door panel. So I can use your help with that."

"Ok."

"Kay Brennan, now take this wire here and connected it..."

"Ow man that hurts." Brennan yelled when he got shocked.

"That's nothing. Try being shocked four times in one...or was it two hours." Just then Jesse's phone rang. "Hello...Oh hey...You did?...That's great...Ya I'll come down maybe in a hour...Great...Ok bye."

"Who was that." Brennan asked

"It was the car deal. They said that they found a car that might be what I'm looking for."

"Well lets go down and see what kind of car you might getting."

"Ok, lets tell the girls. They would probity want to come alone."
