Whohoo! Unlinked reviewers mentions!

To the Great Hippo Thief and rogueremy123, thank you much! And Toad's name is Todd. I wrote it right! To the other reviewers, I really appreciate the fact that you took time to review, but could I ask that you review my other stuff too?

We got into the jeep and were about two blocks down the road when Todd started to serenade me. Okay, serenade isn't the word. Caterwaul.

"Lady in reeeeeedddddddd!"

See? "Will you please stop that?"

"Why, sweetums?" He cocked his head to the left as he said this.

"Because I can't drive and listen to your wailing at the same time." I said as we came to a stop light. "We'll have a wreck or something!"

"Oh." He replied. "Can I hum?"

"Whatever." I told him. Great, now he's humming "Lady in Red"! Well, at least we're almost to the dollar store now.

We walk into the store and he's still humming that song. There are two ways to snap him out of this. The first will get us kicked out, but it will shut him up. The second won't get us kicked out, and it will keep him busy, but he'll start again as soon as we're out the door. Since we don't have the time to drive to the next dollar store, I'll go with B.

"Todd?" I started.

"Yes?" He tilted his head again.

"Could you start getting the food stuff on this list while I go pick up some other stuff?" AKA, I need to go get some feminine supplies, and I know you don't want to come, so keep yourself occupied.

"Sure, Cuddlebumps!" He beamed. He then snatched the list from my hand, grabbed a shopping cart and walked over to where the food was.

After a picking up my stuff, I realized that we had almost no soap and the same went for toothpaste, so I grabbed a few bars of soap and two tubes of Colgate to last us the rest of the month. Good thing these aren't expensive. When I found the little wart again, he was trying to figure out how many boxes of cereal we needed.

"Hey! You think we need three or four boxes?" He asked.

"Two." I said. "We can't afford more than that."

"Right." He put the Lucky Charms back and we walked over to where the Boxed meals were. "Why can't we get these?"

"Because they take meat and it can't stay in our refrigerator with the four shades of mold we have growing." I said. "but we can get one of those rice dishes in a box."

He grabbed a broccoli rice thing and we moved on. "Who put toilet paper on the list?" He blinked.

"I don't know." I said. "Probably Lance or Fred, but we do need it anyway."

That's how the majority of our trip went. We were actually able to pay for all of it, so we didn't put anything back. The ride home, however, was less enjoyable.

"Could you stop that, please?" The wart had switched from Lady in Red to something I didn't recognize. My protest failed, however, and he continued to howl.

"I can be your hero, Baby!" He tried to sing with the song that had just come on the radio. It sounded painful.

"You sound like a dying cat." I said. Again, no response. He continued to sing until we walked through our door.

"What's gotten into him?" Lance asked.

"Think." I glared at him.

"Oh." He said. "I'll get the bags."

"You kidnapped her!" Oh, I see John's up.

"I volunteered, wiseass!" Toad shouted back.

"Stop the yelling!" My brother moaned. Maybe I won't go into the kitchen now.

"She likes me best!" John shouted. Scratch that last thought. I am definitely going in there now.

"Allerdyce!" I shouted. "What makes you think you have the right to treat me like some kind of mutt?"

"What?" John blinked.

"Where did this come from?" Pietro asked.

"At least Toad is helpful! He was sick last night and he still wanted to go to the store with me this morning!" I shouted. "It's your own fault that you and my brother were off doing God knows what last night and came home plastered! For all we knew you two were in jail!"

"We would have been if we hadn't have hid behind the trashcans." Pietro said.

"I don't even wanna know!" Lance groaned as he came in with an armload of bags. Freddy followed, with his armload.

"But I came home!" John said.

"I am not some prize to be won!" Whoa. I can't believe it. Disney actually did give me a useful quote. "If you want some trophy, go somewhere else! I'm not interested!"

And with that I stomped up to my room. But really, can you blame me? I just made a spectacle of myself out there. After slamming my door, I pulled my spellbook out from under my bed and started scouring it for something useful.

Hope you guys liked this chappy. Next, Wanda decides to use magic, but the results aren't what she planned.
