Chapter 5 Team One's Adventure

The group of Trowa, Cathy, Sally, and Wufei walked towards the map in the center of the aisle.

Wu Fei: Knives, KNIVES! Where are the knives:: he scans the map:

Trowa: Why are these maps always so lighted up so intensely?

Wu Fei: So idiots like yourself can see clearly.

Sally: Calm down Wu Fei, he was only asking a question.

Wu Fei:: turns to a scarlet red: So sorry, Sally.

Cathy: Can we go to the cornware department first. I still need some new pots and frying pans.

Sally: Sure we can go there first. I mean why not, we'll probably find knives there, Wu Fei.

Wu Fei: like they would have good knives... : rolls his eyes:

Trowa: Afterward, perhaps we can go to that new HAIR CARE PALACE that just opened so I can get my gel.

Cathy: OK, now that we have a plan, let's move on.

Team #1 moves stealthily towards the cornware department and enters the store. Wu Fei goes directly to the Knife Section with Sally and Trowa walks beside his sister to the pots and pans suite.

Sally: Are these what you had in mind, Wu fei?

Wu Fei:: feels the sharpness of the different knives with his finger: Too weak. : picks up another: Too dull.

Sally:: picks up a rather large butcher knife that curves towards the end: How about this one?

Wu Fei:: grins: Exactly what I'm looking for... : takes it from her excitedly: Just what I wanted. : runs his finger down it achieving a small drop of blood from his left index finger: Enough to make me bleed... very good. : stares obsessedly at the blade:

Sally: So I'm guessing that you want to get this one right:: takes her wallet out of her "purse": How much is it?

Wu Fei:: turns to Sally: It's all right Sally, I will pay for it. Allow me. : pulls out a small bag full of yen:

Wu Fei walks over to the cashier who was dozing on the counter. He places the knife on the detector thing and stares at the man.

Wu Fei:: jabs him in the side with his hand: Excuse me sir. : man stirs and slowly regains awareness of the teenager in front of him.

Cashier: Uggghhh... That'll be twenty dollars please. You got that much kid?

Wu Fei:: glares at him again: I am NOT a kid... : starts counting out his yen and hands it to the man:

Cashier: Ummm...kid? We don't accept Asian money here, if that's what you just handed me.

Wu Fei: I am sorry mister, but yen is all I have.

Cashier: I'm sorry too since we don't take yen.

Wu Fei: You'll just have to.

Cashier: We can't.

Wu Fei: Justice will prevail and you will take the yen. : grabs the knife and walks out of the store: I'll be waiting for you guys out here, Sally.

Sally: Okay, Wu Fei. : cashier looks stunned:

Meanwhile Catherine is looking at each individual pot for any imperfections of any kind trying to find the best one for soup making.

Trowa: I am sure it doesn't really matter if a pot has a little dent in it or discoloring.

Cathy: Yes, it does.

Sally:: walks over to the arguing siblings: Cathy are you looking for a large cooking pot or a smaller size?

Cathy:: looks mad from this distraction: A large one. : turns back to the shelves and keeps checking the metal:

Sally: Do you ever eat her soup, Trowa? She always is making it but then she always has a lot of leftovers as if no one ever touched it.

Trowa: No, I do not eat it except when I am forced to when she complains about working too hard and watches me coldly until I finish a bowl full.

Sally: Oh...

Cathy: AH HA! This one will do very, very well. : she picks up a dark pot and hurries over to the cashier.

Cashier: We don't accept yen miss.

Cathy: Of course I know that. : hands over the American money: God, why would you immediately think that?

Cashier: Nevermind. : takes the money and puts the pot into a bag:

Trowa, Cathy, and Sally join Wu Fei outside the store where he stood patiently.

Wu Fei: Took you long enough to buy a decent pot...

Sally: Wu Fei!

Wu Fei:: turns crimson again: So sorry sally.

Trowa: Now let's go to the hair place. It's right down this way.

Team #1 strolls down the mall halls until they get to the hair care store.

all right then, let's proceed",----Yosho grandpa Chapter 6
