Chapter 6. Doors,M&M's,Layaway and test drives

Knuckles was still mad at us and I wouldn't blame him either. I mean every time we walked by an employee they would point at Knuckles and laugh,poor guy.

"Come on Knuckles don't be mad." Lacey said. "It's not so bad."

"Yeah." I agreed with her. "Could've been worse...the cameras could have seen it."

"Yeah." Lacey said "Like Shadow and Sonic's love scene." XD

"Whatever." He sighed "What's next?"

*11) play with automatic doors

The doors kept opening and closing,and people were beginning to stare. Because while two of us ran out,the other one would run in. I quickly grabbed Lacey's arm to make her stop,and we let Knuckles keep running back and forth,pretty soon Knuckles started gaining more speed,and right whenever Knuckles was gonna run back in...Me and Lacey turned off the door,and Knuckles crashed. We laughed and high fived each other and we opened the door for Knuckles.

"What the hell was that!" He yelled.

"Bad timing?" I said innocently.

If I didn't know better,I'd say there was steam coming out of his ears. XD

*12) Walk up to a complete stranger & start a conversation

"What do we do now?" Lacey asked.

"Well" I said. "We could turn up all the radios to a polka station and the-" suddenly I froze,I'll tell you why.

I saw the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen.

"Karla? Hello?" Lacey waved her arms in front of me. "Karla,are you ok?" She asked.

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"Huh?"

But I didn't listen,I ran to where it was,I extended my arm out and grabbed...the most beautiful shovel I've ever seen!

"Oh god." Knuckles said. "You guys are crazy."

"Look Lacey." I said. "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Umm...I like cookies." She answered.

I sat down on a bench and they did the same. I just kept admiring my shovel.

"Ugh I'm getting bored." Knuckles complained.

"Oooh watch this." I said as a guy walked by.

"Hey what's up." I said. "I haven't seen you in so long! How are you?"

"Umm." He said "Do I know you?" He asked.

"Of course you do silly! I'm Becky." I said wondering if he would play along just to avoid embarrassment.

"Umm...I'm sorry you must have me confused with someone else."

"I doubt it." I replied.

He was wearing a basketball jacket that had his name on it.

"I do know you Alan." I said.

"Wait a minute! How do you know my name?" He asked "Who are you?"

"I'm Becky!" I told him with a smile.

I guess the guy decided he had met me and forgotten about me because he played along.

"Oh yeah! Hi Becky! What's u-" Suddenly he stopped "Wait a minute! Aren't you that girl that ran away?" He asked.

"Umm..." What was I supposed to say now?

I saw the shovel sitting on the bench,oh yeah! I don't have to say anything! I grabbed the shovel and hit him with it. The guy passed out.

"Ooh look the shovel works great!"

"Forget the shovel!" Knuckles yelled "Run!"

And we left before the guards came looking for us.

We kept walking through the departments until Knuckles said "Ok,you guys have made me do all kinds of stupid stuff. I think it's time for me to tell you guys to do something." He said smirking.

He probably thought we weren't going to do what he said.

"Ok." I said "Tell us what to do."

*13) Walk up to an employee and just say something stupid to see what he does

"Excuse me sir." Lacey said.

A guy at the electronic section looked down at her.

"What?" He asked.

"Umm..."

"Look kid" He interrupted. "I don't have time for whatever it is you want,so just tell me what you need." He said rudely.

"I have a message for you." She said.

The guy sighed.

"What is it?" He asked.

Then in an official tone Lacey said "I think we've got a code 3 in housewares."

The guy said annoyingly "Get out of here."

"Well your mean." Lacey said.

"Get used to it kid. The world is mean,trust me I should know. I mean my kids are sick,my wife wants a divorce,and my mom's on my case."

"Aww." Lacey said sympathetically. "That sounds awful,I bet you feel terrible."

10 minutes later...

Lacey and the Wal-Mart employee were sitting on a bench. She had her hand on his arm in a supportive manner.

"It's ok." She said soothingly handing him a Kleenex,the guy was covered in tears and snot. He loudly blew his nose and started crying...again.

"I mean." He said. "It's just so hard,no one appreciates my hard work around here." He said between sobs.

"There,there." She said soothingly.

"Lacey." I said,me and Knuckles were walking up to her. "We gotta go."

"We can't just leave him here." She argued.

"Sure we can."

I hit his head with my yet unpaid shovel.

"See?" I said. "Let's go. We gotta find something else to do."

"No you don't." Knuckles said. "It's your turn."

*14) Scare an old lady

I walked up to an old lady and in a sweet innocent voice I said "Excuse me ma'am."

She looked down at me and smiled.

"Well hello sweetie." She said. "What do you need?"

"Could you help me?" I asked. "The voices inside my head are telling me to do naughty things." I said.

Then I covered my ears with my hands and started pacing around her yelling "NO! I DON'T WANT TO HURT THE NICE LADY! NO! NO! NO! NO!"

Then I suddenly just stopped,looked her straight in the eyes and calmly said "I...will start...a fire..."

Then I pulled out a match and started laughing hysterically in an evil way. The old lady looked around nervously before rushing off with her cart yelling "Security!"

*15) Put M&M's on layaway

"What are we doing here?" Lacey asked.

"We are putting something in layaway." I answered.

"The shovel?"

"Nope." I said.

"Then what? All you have there is a shovel and a packet of M&M's." Knuckles said.

"I know,I'm putting the M&M's on layaway."

"Why?" Knuckles asked.

"Because! God! Can't someone put a bunch of M&M's on layaway! Seriously!" I yelled suddenly feeling really mad,and suddenly my anger just left. "Because it's fun." I said sweetly.

I felt really happy.

(A/N: lets not forget my character has 2 personalities)

"Oookayy." Knuckles said backing away.

Just then Tails came running up to us.

"Karla! What did you do? I was just about to buy a couch when I heard someone yelling about a crazy psycho with a giant shovel!"

"Aww." I said. "How sweet! They really think I'm a crazy psycho?"

"Knuckles!" Tails yelled. "You should be keeping them out of trouble because..."

And then he gave a long speech about how we should be more responsible,even though all I heard was "Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!"

By the time he was done talking,the super long line was gone. I gave the candy to the woman behind the register and said "We would like to put that on layaway please."

The woman just looked at us really weird and said "Is this some kind of joke?"

"Of course not." I said.

Tails just sighed and said "I'm sorry ma'am,please just ignore them."

"NO!" I yelled super mad,causing a scene. "I want to put the candy on layaway!"

The woman's face was red. She just looked around and saw that people were beginning to stare.

"Ok." She finally said after neither Tails nor her could make me stop yelling. "I'll put the stupid candy on layaway! Just get her out of here!" The woman begged.

"Thank you." I said smiling and grabbed Lacey's arm and we skipped away. (something that would never really happen since Moonshine92 HATES skipping)

Usually Tails would have ran after us,but he was still apologizing to the woman in layaway.

*16) Move "Caution:wet floor" signs to carpeted areas

"Wow I have never been in so much trouble before." Lacey said.

"Get used to it." I said.

We walked by a caution wet floor sign and I put it on the clothes department.

"Why'd you do that for?" Lacey asked. "There's a carpet there."

"I know." I said.

Just then a little kid came running and he slipped,breaking his tooth in the progress.

"Mommy!" He cried.

His mom came and picked him up,cradling him in her arms. I started laughing as soon as they left.

"Ha! Did you see that? That kid was acting like a five year old."

"He was a five year old." Knuckles said.

"Oh. Oh well."

*17) Go up to customer service and order a burger

"Hey Knuckles,I have another little task for you." I said.

"I'm not gonna ask for birth control pills!" He yelled.

"I wasn't gonna tell you that,but now that I think about it. It's not such a bad idea."

"What do you want?"

"Go up to customer service and order some takeout." I said.

"Oh. Is that it? That doesn't sound so bad. So like I just go and order a burger?" He asked.

"Well" I answered with an evil grin. "That's part of it."

With a sigh and an "I hate my life." Knuckles walked over to customer service.

"Hello,how may I help you?" The woman at the desk asked.

"Yes." Knuckles replied "I'll have a quarter pounder with cheese,one strawberry shake,a large order of french fries,and a diet coke."

"What?" The woman asked confused.

"To go." Knuckles said.

"I'm sorry sir,I can't give you that."

"This is because I'm gay isn't it!" Knuckles interrupted. "I'd expect this from Sears but not Wal-Mart. You disgust me!" He yelled and then walked away mumbling.

"There." Knuckles said. "Now it's your turn to do something stupid."

"You mean like?"

Just then an announcement over the loudspeaker came on. Good thing we were right in the middle of the store. I dropped to my knees and yelled "No! No! It's those voices again!"

Knuckles and Lacey looked scared.

"I want them to leave me alone!" I yelled.

And then I started crying. Tails came running 0ver to us. He grabbed my arm and pulled me up. And led us away from the crowd.

"Karla,what wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice.

"The voices wont leave her alone." Lacey said cheerfully.

"Guys!" Tails yelled. "I'm starting to lose it!"

"Aren't you a little too young for that?" I asked.

But Tails just ignored me.

"I told you to stop all this nonsense!"

Just then Shadow walked by with the list in his hands.

"Sonic!" He yelled. "Hurry up!"

"I'm coming ." Sonic grunted.

Not only was he limping,but he was also carrying a giant Tv,and a six pack of beer. He stumbled and almost fell flat on his face.

"Be careful with my beer!" He yelled.

"Shadow man! Can't you give me a hand?" Sonic asked.

Shadow smiled and said "Sure." Before pushing Sonic towards the floor.

"Shadow!" Tails called. "I need you to watch them." He said pointing at us.

"No." Shadow said.

"I'll pay for your beer." Tails offered.

"Fine." He said.

As soon as Tails was out of sight I said "Shadow we're gonna go torment people."

"Whatever." Shadow said.

"Ok." Knuckles said. "Here's what you need to do."

*18) Act like a suicidal teen

We were walking down the hunting department. I walked over to a guy employee and said "Excuse me sir,umm could you show me some of the guns here?"

He showed me all kinds of guns.

"Umm what's the most powerful one?" I asked.

He handed me one.

"Cool." I said. "I'll take it."

"You know about hunting?" He asked.

"No." I replied. "Can I pay for it now?" I asked. "I can't wait to use it."

We walked over to a small cash register,but before he could scan it,I asked "Umm,oh by the way,do you know where the anti-depressants are at?"

"Umm,excuse me?"

"The anti-depressants." I said again. "My Doctor and my Therapist said I need to take some. Preferably the strong kind." I said smiling.

"Umm yeah." He said. "I don't think I should let you buy this." He said slowly.

"Why?" I yelled.

The guy backed away,surprised by my outburst.

"Do you think I'm stupid? That I can't handle a gun? I'll have you know,I went to Skitsofrantic High for skitsofrantic and bipolar people!"

"Ma'am." The guy yelled. "Please calm down!"

"Don't tell me what to do you stupid mother *BEEP*"

Just then Tails ran towards us,but he couldn't do anything,because he was trapped in the crowd.

"Or" I said. "It's because I'm a girl,isn't it? You think I can't handle a gun because I'm a girl." I yelled.

"No! That's not it." He said.

"Yes it is! Well you wanna know something? I'm tired of that kind of *BEEP*. People like you disgust me! They're the *BEEP* reason I go home every *BEEP* day and cut myself!" I yelled.

"Ma'am please calm down!"

Finally Tails was able to get through,he quickly pulled us out of the crowd,saying "I'm sorry about her. She's got a wild imagination."

When we were far away he said "You guys need to stop d-wait a minute! Karla,where did you learn all those bad words?"

Me and Lacey both said very cheerfully at the same time "Shadow!"

"Ok that's it! I'm taking you guys home!"

"No! Tails please! Give us one more chance! I promise we'll behave! And I never break my promises!" I said.

Tails sighed.

"Ok fine. I'll give you one last chance." He said.

"Thank you."

"We're almost done anyways." Tails said,walking away.

Just then Lacey's stomach growled.

"I'm hungry." She said.

Just then she asked an employee "Excuse me sir,would you be so kind as to direct me to your Twinkies?"

The guy pointed at a location.

"Thank you,my good man." She said.

"Lacey,why are you talking like that?" I asked.

"Well,we promised Tails we would behave,plus I find it that whenever you talk like this,people will usually give you whatever you want."

I laughed.

"Oh Lacey." I said. "If that were true I would have come into this world five years earlier."

"What does that mean?" She asked.

"I'll explain later. Let's go pay for your Twinkies." I said.

We walked over to the cash register,and when the cashier scanned it,Lacey looked mesmerized and said "Wow,magic."

"Whatever." Knuckles said. "I'm going to the restroom."

"Hey Lacey,wanna play a game?" I asked.

"But we promised Tails we'll behave." She said.

"Sure we did. But we never said how long we would behave. It's not really breaking a promise,it's more like finding a loophole." I explained.

"Oh ok."

5 minutes later...

Me and Lacey were running around with a blanket tied around our shoulders.

"I'm Batman!" I yelled. "Come Robin,to the bat-mobile!"

We ran all over the store and straight into Tails-oh no.

"I can't believe it! That's it! We are going home!" He yelled.

"Oh no!" I yelled. "It's the Joker! Get him!"

"What? No!" Tails said as I beat him up with the shovel.

Pretty soon,poor Tails was passed out on the floor. Me and Lacey dragged him over to the couch department and threw him on a sofa,so he wouldn't hurt his neck. Just then Knuckles walked towards us.

"Oh there you are." He said,then he saw Tails. "Uhhh,what happened to Tails?"

"Shhh!" Lacey said putting her finger to her lips. "He sleeping." She whispered quietly.

"Ok well let's go find Sonic and Shadow." Knuckles said.

"All right." I agreed "But first there is one last thing I wanna do."

*19) Torture Knuckles by making him do something completely embarrassing...again.

Knuckles walked over to a male employee.

"Hey excuse me sir,where's the-"

And the completely shocked employee pointed in a direction.

Whenever Tails woke up,he made us go home instantly. As we were walking out,I put my hand inside my jacket and looked around nervously as if waiting for the alarm to go off. I saw a security guard look at me suspiciously,and when the alarm didn't go off,I let out a sigh of relief and ran out as fast as I could.

Whenever we were in the car,Sonic said "Hahaha that was so funny Karla! You acted as if you stole something on the way out."

"Yeah." I said nervously. "I mean,it's not like I put the shovel inside my jacket when no one was looking."

*20) steal a shovel,fill a cart up with condoms and watch everyone's jaw drop as you attempt to buy them,stalk customers or just simply terrorize an old lady. The possibilities are endless. Well,at least they are for you. Lacey,Knuckles,and me got banned for life from there. XD
