Summary: Fablehaven goes shopping! Humor!
A/N: Requested by the amazing Yakall! :)
"Can't I just go alone!" Kendra protested.
Grandpa Sorenson shook his head, "I don't want you being out there all alone." He explained, "You never know if there are spies out there. No doubt you are high in the revenge list."
"Then why can't I just bring Bracken!" Kendra complained, "Why do I have to bring everyone?"
"Because me and your grandmother want some alone time for a bit, I'm sure you can take care of all of them and Vanessa can help you as well. Please Kendra, I would really appreciate having the house quiet for a while and your grandmother would too."
Kendra mentally cursed, he knew exactly how to get her to agree. Stupid pure heart. She sighed, "Can you at least get the boys to promise to behave?"
"I'll try and get their word, but we both know that isn't worth very much." Grandpa Sorenson smiled.
"Thanks," Kendra said, "Tell them to be in the car in ten minutes or they're not coming."
"They'll be there in five." Her grandfather promised as Kendra allowed a small smile to appear on her face. She quickly wandered over to the car and allowed out the sigh she had been waiting for. This was going to be a very long day.
"What is that!" Bracken gasped as he pointed to a sugary candy.
Kendra was starting to get a little annoyed with it, "That is called a gummy bear," she explained slowly, "It is a sugary candy. Very sweet."
Bracken snatched one of the free samples and popped into his mouth, instantly gagging. "That's so fake." He declared before running over to try a different snack. Kendr Knew he hadn't been out in the mortal world ina. While, but even this joke was starting to get old.
"Warren, can you get some eggs?" Kendra asked hopefully. Normally she would ask Vanessa, but they had decided to split up. Her taking Seth and Kendra taking the others, each also with half of a list. Kendra desperately hoped her friend was having better luck than she was.
"Of course!" Warren said, almost too cheerfully.
"Look out below!" Came a screaming Seth riding on a shopping cart, almost slamming into Kendra. She quickly dove out of the way before the eclipse, but ended up with oranges all over her from her now totaled cart.
Soon after, Kendra saw Vanessa running up behind the shadow charmer, her eyes wild. "Seth Sorenson, you get down from there right now!" She screamed.
"You're not my mom!" Seth retorted as he turned the shopping cart around, aiming for another spin.
It took all of Kendra's willpower not to scream right that minute. Instead, she sighed again as she started rolling the oranges off of her outfit. Ugh, one of them must have burst because now her brand new outfit was all sticky. Why had she agreed to this again?
"One carton of eggs is now in the cart." Warren announced. Kendra Jena better than to trust his word and went over to inspect the cart herself. Inside, was not a single cartoon of eggs.
"Warren, how much stuff did you pick out?" Kendra asked.
"Just a few needs in life," Warren said defensively.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that." Kendra asked as she started sorting through what was once her groceries. Now all of the perfect fruit and foods were not utterly destroyed, thanks to her charming little brother, and replaced with 'the needs in life'
Kendra was pretty sure you didn't need thirty packages of Oreos and other junk food in life, so she put it all back, despite Warren's pouts and protests. After what seemed and was probably hours later, she finally had all the groceries she needed. Now she just needed to find Bracken.
"Bracken?" She called out.
"Kendra!" Came an excited voice from behind her, causing Kendra to jump in startlement.
"What Bracken?"
"Have you ever tried coffee?" He asked, his eyes lighting up, "Because I Just had a cup and boy do I feel amazing! I feel like I could dance among the stars forever." He giggled.
This new Bracken absolutely terrified Kendra. She never should have left him alone. She should have known he would find his way to get his hands on some caffeine. At least it wasn't alcohol, that would be worse. Not that this current situation was necessarily good though.
"Let's get home," Kendra grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the check-out aisle, him giggling strangely the entire way and shouting he was a magical unicorn to random strangers.
Some gave him a funny look, but thankfully no one looked like they believed him. Except for a little girl who squealed and hugged him saying she knew she was right. Kendra almost felt bad telling her that he was just kidding around. Scratch that, she felt so terrible about it, she didn't have the heart to tell that to the kid.
Almost done, Kendra sighed in relief as she started handing all the items to the man behind the counter. Almost there and-
"Look out below!" A shopping cart came crashing into Kendra's scattering all of her new groceries across the ground. That is when Kendra snapped. Out of respect for your tender ears, I will not repeat some of the things that she said. You could be one hundred years old and too young for these words. That is when they learned not to anger our little cupcake Kendra.
