Dirk let out a sigh and walked through the isles looking for food Dave squealed a bit and flung his arms up, pointing to the cereal. Dirk looked at it and pointed to a box only to have Dave squeal louder.

Dirk chuckled a bit and grabbed it and walked down his favourite isle. He extended his arm out into the front of the snack. He started running and watched Dave laugh as items fell into the cart.

Before he collided into another cart he stopped and looked up to see a man with buckteeth carrying a kid long black. hair Dirk smirked a bit and nodded his head, "English." the man turned around and smiled. The same smile that tugged at his heart each time. "Oh hello Dirk! I didn't see you there!" Dirk rolled his eyes a bit and chuckled, "Probably need new glasses if you couldn't see the Striders. Anyways, who is this?"

Jake lifted his right arm, showing a girl about Dave's age, maybe a little older. "This is Jade." Jade let out a big squeal, and grabbed Jake's glasses, "No Jade, please-" she put them on and squealed. Jake sighed and put his glasses back on as Jade huffed and crossed her arms.

Dave took them off and handed them to him. He looked over at the apple juice and gasped, bouncing a bit, "aj!" Dirks chuckled and looked over at Jake, Jake chuckled and looked at the time before cursing a bit, "Shoot. I have to get going to meet Janey so she can take care of Jade while I work. Cya later Dirk! Maybe we can catch up like old times."

Jake grabbed his cart and winked at him before strolling off. Dirk let out a groan and sighed, "Smooth Dirk." he set Dave back in the cart and continued to get what he needed, his heart still racing while he paid for everything and headed home.


Back at home while Dirk made one of his puppets, Dave came running into the room holding up a finger, "Bro! Kiss it better!" he whined and held up his finger. Dirk shoved the smuppet away from him and sighed picking Dave up and setting him in his lap. Bro examined his finger and noticed a paper cut. He kissed it and grabbed a band-aid. A barbie band-aid to be exact.

Dave smiled big and looked up at bro, "Come play princess with me! You be queen, I be princess." Dirk looked at his computer and back at Dave before smirking, "Alright lil' man. But since I'm the queen, I get the big fluffy chair." Dave shook his head, "No way!" Dirk set him down and nodded, "Yep!"

Dave huffed and ran into the living room, leaving Dirk alone. He looked over at the picture of them, his dad on the phone while his mom held a martini glass. He set down the picture and ran into the living room.
