It was a much dreaded day. The day of grocery shopping. Even worse was the fact that everyone loved shopping, everyone except me.
I had decided on this particular day to wait in the car while my mom and Ashley did the shopping.
And boy was it hot out!
I pulled my hair up in a rubber band and grabbed the phone to call my sister--in hopes of passing the time more quickly.

Meanwhile, Ashley was skipping through Kroger.
"I love Kroger! It's my favorite grocery store! It's like Wal-mart without all the extra stuff!" she exclaimed to a person she passed by, who I am certain did not care one little, tiny bit.
"That's…nice…" they stated as they backed away from her slowly.
"I know!"
She soon turned down aisle seven, and nearly ran into the store manager, whom was putting items on the shelf. To her surprise, the manager was none other than…Victoria Garza!
My mom, noticing Victoria, exclaimed, "You're Victoria Garza from the Mole!"
"Uh-huh," she replied.
My mom smiled and walked off to finish her shopping, leaving a stunned Ashley with Victoria.
"I…I'm Ashley…"
"I know. Oh, and you're also a mountaineer...not a hillbilly…"
At least someone figured that out!
"How do you know that?!"
"Because…Presto, change-o, you didn't eat your mango!"
"Aaahhh! No!"

I had just hung up with my sister. The guy parked next to our car had finally left. Thankfully. You see, he had been clipping his toenails. Well, one of the toenails just so happened to fly through the window. I'm not quite sure how, considering the fact that the window was barely open, but it happened. Talk about disgusting!
So there I was, sitting in the car, staring out the window.
"Hello," came a voice beside me.
I turned slowly, to find…Victoria Garza? What?
How did she get in my mom's car?
I just stared at her.
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to tell you something…but you obviously don't want to hear it…so I guess I'll just go…"
She opened the car door and started to get out.
"Wait. What is it?"
What had I just gotten myself in to?
"Presto, change-o, you didn't eat your mango!"
She got out and ran off. I yelled out the window after her.
"I'M A VEGETARIAN!!"

A/N: In case you're wondering, yes, that whole thing with the toenail actually happened. It was totally gross!
Anyway, time to reply to our reviews…the only reviews…all from Michael…
Yes, 14 plus hours. You guys talk all the time! Lol. The steak incident was hilarious (though I wasn't there). I changed it up a little bit, I know you didn't say that when you jumped up, but I thought it'd make it even funnier. Hahaha!! Yes! 10/10! Did you figure I'd scream or something at a 9...'cuz I did…
…I'm not crazy…
Oh, and by the way…chapter eight is your wedding scene and I'm writing it, so if you'd like a nice wedding, I wouldn't say anything to annoy me. :D Hehe…
