Scene 3: Gas Station
The whirl of the fan and the occasional ding of the door are alkl that's heard as people come into the gas station. Filled with simple candies and other things, it makes a nice stop. Napoleon and Pedro are seen browsing through the snacks near the back.
"This food sucks." said Napoleon, staring at a bag of Lays. He was right, as they didn't have much food.
"I don't know. This looks good." said Pedro, holding up a small, round tin can. Napoleon takes it and gets a look at it.
"Pedro, this is chewing tobacco." said Napoleon, setting it back on the rack. He leans against the wall and lets out a big sigh. A couple seconds pass, until he jumps when he looks out the window.
"Oh crap! Uncle Rico!" yelled Napoleon. He was right, as Uncle Rico's big, orange van pulls up into the parking lot. Napoleon really hated him, so he didn't want him to see him. He quickly jumps down to the floor, and signals Pedro to do the same.
"Look, we're gonna make sure he doesn't see us. We'll crawl behind these stands until we get to the door, then we make a run for it." said Napoleon, very quietly. Pedro nods in agreement. Napoleon keeps his head on the floor, looking below the stand. He sees Uncle Rico walk in. He motions to Pedro to start moving. They start to crawl a little bit. He makes it a little way when he realizes that that wasn't Uncle Rico that he was watching.
"What the heck you doing, Napoleon?" said a familiar voice from behind. Napoleon jumps when he speaks, and gets back up. Uncle Rico had snuck up behind them.
"Uh, looking for my special Liger-printed coin I dropped." said Napoleon. As always, he wasn't good at making up excuses. Uncle Rico, however, seemed to not care.
"Who cares about your stupid coin. I want to know why you're here. You egtting food or something?" asked Uncle Rico, giving him a small, dirty look. Napoleon was
filling with anger.
"Why do you care? Just shut up and leave us alone." snapped Napoleon. He felt good saying that, but Uncle Rico sure didn't like it.
"What did you say to me?" asked Uncle Rico, also, egtting angry.
"I said shut up!" yelled Napoleon. People were starting to notice their argument.
"Don't you tell me to shut up!" snapped Uncle Rico. His face was turning red, his fist getting clenched. Napoleon wanted to hit him so hard, but he didn't want to do it in public. Suddenly, he got an idea.
"Holy crap! Two bags of jerky for 99 cents!" yelled Napoleon, pinting to the cashier. Uncle Rico turned to look.
"99 cents! That's a good deal!" He yelled, looking for the sale. As soon as he turned, Napoleon ran out the door, Pedro following them. Upset that he couldn't find the jerky, he turns back around. Once he sees Napoleon and Pedro took off, he gets mad.
"Dang it! Fell for it again!" he yelled, going for the door. The crowd then went back to whatever they were doing, as if nothing happened.
