THANK GOD THERE WAS A SUPER MARKET NEAR BY OR I WAS JUST GONNA DIE!

We stopped by the super market to get some food on the way to Denver. We were on a tight budget but I did have Goldva's credit Card just incase.

"Ok, some potatoe chips, bread, cheese, soda, chocolate bars, anything else Kalim?" I asked.

Kalim picked up a packet of dog biscuits. I just slapped him across the head. I realised we needed some cookies.

We walked over to the cookies alisle. I picked up a packet of cookies and gave them to Kalim to put in the shopping basket. Kalim's mouth was drooling over the ice cream. He was so desperate to have some ice cream. Chocolate ice cream to be exact!

"OH SLIVA! CAN WE HAVE SOME ICE CREAM!" He cried out being weak.

"No."

Kalim looked shocked "WHAT?"

"It would melt and look at the size of the box. You can't eat all that ice cream. Now, stop acting like a child and lets go," I said.

Then outta no where this little boy was riding one of those electric schooters in the store and laughing and this woman was chasing him. She was so pretty too. Shame she was probably married.

"Someone stop that shooter! My son is riding it! He can get hurt!" she called out.

Being the gentleman I am, I chased after the boy on the schooter. He was driving outta control. I decided to chase him using my Mana and the speed of Coyote and stopped the schooter while causing other damage on the way.

"Lets see... I need flour to make those cookies for Horo Horo and his little friends," Mrs Smith said reading her shopping list.

Mrs Smith was standing behind the Flour display which was a pyrimid shape like Cheerleaders would do in one of their cheers for a contest.

So the little boy on the schooter was riding on the schooter and knocked the whole display of flour and it fell on Mrs Smith making her look like a ghost since she was then covered from head to toe in flour.

"Sorry Mrs Smith!" I called out while running after the boy.

Following me where his babe of a mother and Kalim.

"Your friend is sure brave! He is chasing after my hyperactive son, HoroHoro," she said to Kalim.

"His name is Horo Horo too!" Kalim said shocked.

He was reaching the end of the line. Horo Horo 2 (We'll call him that to save all you Horo Horo fangirls the confusion!) was at a dead end. Well, nearly. I jumped and grabbed him off the bike and it went crashing into the wall.

"Hey Kid! Your mommy is worried about you," I told him.

"I WANT SUGAR!"

"Oh! I see you are hyperactive on... sugar," I said.

His mother and Kalim ran up to us and I passed him to her and she was hugging him and patting his back. She was so worried about him. Mrs Smith came up to me and did what she should have done the last time with the bull, the Large ball of wool etc, etc. She slapped me with her handbag.

"I was meaning to do that!"

Mrs Smith walks off and I was rubbing my sore face.

"Oh Horo Horo! No free candy samples for you until you are old an enough not to be hyper," she said to her 3 year old son.

"Horo Horo!" I said shocked.

The lady looks down at me and smiles. I stood up and wiped the dust off my hands to shake her lovely delicate hand.

"Thank you, Sliva," she said to me smiling.

I pointed a finger at myself. "How do you know my name?"

She smiled "Kalim told me. Please let me take you out to dinner!"

Was I dreaming? She asked me out. Oh, I wished Mrs Smith would hit me again with her hangbag so it can wake me up from this dream. Though having my hair pulled by Horo Horo 2 was an enough for me to wake me up.

"Ouch!"

"Horo Horo, don't pull his hair."

She grabbed Horo Horo 2's hand and freed my hair.

Later that day, I was ready for the date. With Horo Horo 2's mother who's name is KT Vogt. Horo Horo Vogt? Sounds... Ok... She took me to this romantic French restuarant. Mohammed Lechgar. Doesn't sound romantic... at all.

"I hope Kalim is alright looking after Horo Horo. He is a handfull. Nothing like me or his father," she went on.

I put my hand on top of hers "Kalim is great with kids. He will be alright."

Kalim was not alright...

"Wee! I want more candy!"

"YOU ATE IT ALL!" Kalim cried.

I was smiling happily away at KT. She was talking about her ex-husband and what he is like now. I listened to every detail and reconised the description. Her ex-husband reminded me of someone...

"My ex-husband loved animals. His favourites were !Hedgehogs and Squrrils!. Everytime I saw him he was reading stories about animals. When we were dating he kept a pet parrot who sang Roxette songs. My favourite band. I always loved the song 'Dangerous'. It was so groovey to listen to," KT explained.

I took a sip of my wine and kept listening.

"Though we had our problems. After Horo Horo was born. Our marriage was going downhill. I spent all my time with Horo and he spent it with the horses on the near by farm. One day, he assumed I cheated on him. When I never had a social life after Horo was born," KT began to weep.

I jumped off my seat and held her hand.

"Hey! He is one sad loser if he thought you cheated on him. I bet he was cheating on you with all those animals," I laughed.

KT laughed lightly and smiled.

Half way through the dinner, we were having fun. Laughing and talking. I told her about Mrs Smith and Kalim and all the adverntures we were having on this road trip. But I never told her about Hedgehog. No! You don't tell a lady that!

Soon, Misfortune 5 came rushing in with a gun. It was Hedgehog. KT's ex-husband. What a twist! Just like those soap operahs I enjoy watching. Only I didn't enjoy being here.

"Give me all your money!" Hedgehog demanded.

KT looked shocked "HORO HORO!"

NO! NOT ANOTHER HORO HORO! NO!

"KATE!" Hedgehog replied back shocked.

"Hey Hedgehog!" I waved.

Hedgehog waved back "Hi Sliva."

Hedgehog points his gun at me and grins "Nice to see you again, my friend!" Then does Evil laugh.
