Chapter 5: At the Friggin' Mall
After two more periods, it was finally time to leave school.
Secret had a somewhat decent day, granted people would NOT shut up about how awesome his uncle is.
"Okay, I get it! Undercover Squirrel is awesome, please shut up!" he thought to himself, annoyed.
But he did like the seventh period teacher, Mr. Weasel, he thought he was pretty cool, even if his partner...not so much.
As soon as the final bell rang and everyone was free to go, Secret was on his way to go home on foot when some honk their honk stopped him him. He turned around and it was... Bunny! In her purple convertible!
She then drove next to him and in her casual way, asked him, "Need a lift?"
"No thanks," said Secret, still walking.
Bunny would not give up.
"Please?"
"No."
But, of course Bunny would not give up. So she started shouting, "Secret Squirrel! Put your stuff in the trunk! Sit your butt down! NOW!"
Secret then quickly did as he was told and sat between Morocco and Penny whom he didn't notice there. Next to Bunny, in the passenger seat was her best friend, Dee Dee with Adam "Atom" Ant, sitting on her lap.
That's when Bunny started driving, waving to all her friends... and enemies as they leave the school.
"So?" Secret asked, "Where we are going?
"To the mall," answered Penny, somewhat bored.
"okay," said Secret, staying still, starting to listen to Bunny and Dee Dee talking to each other when Penny asked, "What was it like?"
"What was what like?" asked a confused Secret.
"You know, going around the world."
"It was okay, i guess, of course. it depends on whether or not you fit in."
"Huh, wow," commented Penny, but before anyone could add anything else, Secret changed the subject.
"Bunny, why do you have a car, when you can fly?"
"Oh, that?" said Bunny, laughing, "My family believes it to be a rite of passage," then she asked, interestingly curious, "So what's this biz about 'fitting in' anyway?"
"Nothing," said Secret, sheepishly.
"Well, good," she said," At H-B High, from the moment you enter, you're never the same again."
"Who told you that?"
"One of my big brothers, Reggie," answered Bunny.
"Okay...," commented Secret when Morocco shouted, "We're here!"
The Jellystone Mall, established since 'God knows when', was what one would expect out of a two-floor mall. Maybe back when it first opened, it was considered rockin', bitchin', or freakin' awesome, whatever, but nowadays, no, not really. In fact, the only reason why they're there in the first place is that Dee Dee wanted ideas for prom dresses and everyone else came along for the ride.
As soon as they got out of the car, Bunny started handing out some cash for her friends.
But Secret, unused to this, said to her, "Sorry but I can't except your money."
But Bunny insisted.
"I'm sorry, Bunny, but I can't."
Bunny then took out most of the cash out of the pile and held out the now smaller pile to him, "Just take this for food and stuff, there's enough for that. Please take it, please."
"Okay, Bunny," sighed Secret, taking the money,"But just this once."
"Okay, fine."
Penny, grinning, asked,"Can I have the rest of his money?" enthusiastically.
"Here ya go, Pen," said Bunny, smiling as she gave it to her.
"THANKS!" shouted Penny before running toward the front doors of the mall.
"Oh, finally!" shouted Dee Dee, "Let shop!", then running off into the mall with Adam following, mostly like to help carry all the stuff she buys, leaving Bunny, Secret and Morocco behind.
Secret looked to Bunny and commented sarcastically, "Yeah and I'm too nice," referring to a conversation they had earilier between classes, to which she smirked before hovering toward the mall like the others before, well, not hover, they can't do that except for Adam.
Secret then smirked as this and walked in with Morocco following him like a faithful friend should, a concept so foreign to Secret that he found it kinda weird and creepy, after all, he always saw friendship as some only existing in TV land to sell to little girls, and there was the fact they just met that morning.
Still, he looked around the mall, unimpressed by it's genericness. A while ago, he walked in, with his hood up and music blasting though his earbuds, just visit the game shop for some new video games, not really pay attention. Later, he walked out with a stack of games, still not paying attention with his loud rock music, and did not notice any significant about the Jellystone Mall. But he was surprised that no one mistaken him for a ned or something like that.
"Maybe this time I should my uncle, I still haven't seen him since moving here," he thought to himself as he started putting his earbuds back on when he noticed that Morocco was still following him, making him a little uncomfortable.
He then turned Morocco and said to him, "You don't have to keep following me, you know."
"I-I don't? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Okay," said Morocco, head down and dejectedly, walking away.
Secret, shaking off the guilt he was then feeling, continued to walk around, looking at the various shop and saw some familiar faces. He saw Boo-Boo and his bigger friend,...Yogi?... at the food court, causing nightmares for cooks for years to come. Dee Dee, ballet dancing with the grace of a classically trained ballerina from shop to shop, with Adam following her, caring everything she bought so far. Poor guy. Bunny swinging a baseball bat in a sporting goods store and then casually, high-fouring some employees and ready to buy, making some friendly banter.
"She makes it look some easy," Secret thought to himself, watching her though the window, when suddenly he realized that she saw him and was waving hard to him. Surprised, he waved back, bashfully before moving on.
He spotted Huckleberry Hound watching a beautiful, yellow-furred dog girl dressed in purple, obviously name brands. He also saw Yogi being watched by a lovesick blue-furred she-bear, wearing only a black headband, white collar with pink bow with matching skirt, remembering from school, Secret racked his brain to try to remember her name.
"Sydney? No that's not it."
Now, bored, he walked straight for his uncle's shop, 'The Invention Dimension', a electronics shop, just to pay his favorite and only uncle a visit. Needless to say, his uncle was more than happy to see him.
"UNCLE! You're CRUSHING my HAND!"
Also needless to say, the people in the shop stopped and stared, including a very amused Penny Ardilla.
"Let me look at you!" said his uncle, looking at his nephew's face without taking off his hat, "Yep, there is no doubt about it, you're looking more like James than the last time I saw you."
Secret groaned, "I would rather look like you."
Secret's father, James and his uncle, Undercover, real name Douglas were identical twins, making that comment pointless.
Undercover Squirrel was wearing a causal suit, with a long grey coat, white shirt, and purple tie, fur on the top of the head slicked back and had a mustache.
"Right, well, it's nice to see you again," continued Undercover, grinning, "I wanna get you something."
"Oh, uncle-" started Secret but Undercover cut him off, saying, "Just take anything you want from the back," smiling, walking away to help a customer.
Secret, deciding it no point to argue, after all, his uncle was known for being generous with everybody, walked to the back, while looking at all of the latest computers and gadgets, licking his lips at it all but in the end, he found something really cool in the back and took it and left but not before leaving a note for his uncle.
But as he ran out the store with his package, Blabber Mouse saw him and thought, "That new boy is stealing. I must tell Snoop."
So Secret, walked around the mall, smiling yet noticed that he was being followed again but, knew it wasn't Morocco, but not caring, he ignored it. He then realized that he was very thirsty and remembering the money Bunny gave him, it was off to the food court.
"Needs more chocolate," he thought to himself as he drank his milkshake.
Then, he decided to go home, after all, the mall wasn't all that far from his new house and he had homework to do.
As he made his way though the parking lot, Bunny in her purple convertible with her friend inside drove up to him. She asked him again, in her casual way, "Need a lift."
Morocco added, "Might as well get in, Secret, she doesn't take no for an answer."
So Secret hopped in and noticed how the car was practically overfilling with all the stuff they bought. Apparently, Dee Dee bought most of the things while Adam was laying on his back, breathing heavily, exhausted while the blonde was grinning ear to ear. Bunny bought less things, a baseball bat and some CDs. Penny only bought a couple books. Morocco mostly just hung around various kids, he didn't ever have a best friend.
As Bunny drive, the kids talked about their time at the mall, how decent it was when Penny noticed Secret's package.
"My, your uncle must've been extra to you," she said, pointing it out, "That thing's is supposed to be out until next month."
Adam, interested, turned to them, asking, "What is it?"
"You don't need to know!" snapped Secret, "I'll just not use it until next month."
Penny, rolling her eyes, explained, "It's a cambot, I know because Huck wouldn't shut about saving his money for one."
"Neat," commented Morocco.
Bunny, then turned to face Secret, teasing, "Aw, you wanna be a world famous secret agent?"
Deadpan, Secret asked, "If I were a world famous secret agent wouldn't that mean that I seriously suck at my job?"
"Yeah, well..."
That when Dee Dee decided to start playing a games she liked to play when she was in a car.
"If you can disguise yourself as anyone, who would you be?"
"Clark Kent!" Adam suddenly shouted, "Why? 'Cause chicks dig the glasses!"
Laughing, Bunny asked, "Oh, yeah? Then how come Dee Dee's brother doesn't have a girl yet?"
"Dee Dee, you have a brother?" asked Secret.
"Yeah," answered Dee Dee and Bunny, in a perfect imitation of his voice, shouted, pointing up dramatically, "Dexter! Boy genius!"
"It's a shame he moved out," continued Dee Dee before she and Bunny bursting out laughing, before Dee Dee continued her game, "I would rather disguise myself as either Pitstop or a ninja!"
"Ninja, huh," said Bunny, rubbing her chin, "Like that ninja turtle chick who did magic?"
"Ew, no!" Dee Dee laughed.
"Okay, Bun Bun, how about you?" asked Penny.
"Marty McFly or Townsville's own Miss Bellum."
Out of nowhere, in a loud voice, somebody in a Scouse accent shouted, "Hellooooooo, nurse!" Everybody in the car were suddenly confused and thought the same thing: The Hell was that? They turned to source and it was...
An extremely embarrassed Secret Squirrel.
Morocco, rising his eyebrows, asked. "What was that?"
"What was what?" asked Secret in denial.
"Dude, for a second," Bunny started explaining, eyes wider than usual, "You sounded like Wakko Warner."
"No-no I didn't," said Secret, quickly, in denial, eyes darting around.
Penny, studying him closely, said, "No... I heard it, too."
"And so did we!" shouted Adam and Dee Dee, together.
"Uh..., no?"
Bunny, rolling her freakishly big, purple eyes, said, now annoyed, "Fine! We didn't!" and to Penny, calmer, she said, smirking, "Your turn."
"One of the Hex Girls."
"Love their music!" Bunny then commented, grinning, then said, "Morocco, your turn."
"I don't know, my brother?"
Adam then causally commented, "That really sucks, Mole."
Bunny nodded and asked, "Wak-er Secret, what about you?"
"Well," Secret started, rubbing the back of his neck, "I'm good at Mel Blanc impressions. You should hear my Sylvester, it's pretty spot on."
Penny then whispered to Morocco, "That's not all that's spot on," laughing.
Secret then said to her, "I heard that, you know," to which she laughed harder.
"Okay, okay," said Bunny, laughing out loud, saying to Dee Dee, "Thank you, Deed, for picking to the game."
"Don't mention it!"
Morocco then asked Secret, "Wasn't that fun, S. S.?"
"Sure, I guess."
"You guess?" asked Penny, raising an eyebrow, "Tsk, tsk, it was fun! Especially, when you did that Wak- Ringo Starr voice out of nowhere, that was too funny."
"Yeah..." he muttered, quietly, head down, when he suddenly remembered somethimg, "Penny, how did you know that I've been around the world?"
"Oh, apparently, your mom's friends with Bunny's mom and the other day, they hung out with my mom."
"Huh?"
Bunny then stopped the car in front of a now-familiar house, turned to face Secret, saying, grinning, "Kid, you need to get out more, anyways, here's where you get off."
Secret then got out of the car while the students all shouted goodbyes.
"Later, Secret!"
"See ya tomorrow!"
"Goodbye, Secret!"
"See you at school!"
Secret, actually grinned as he waved to them as they drove off as a thought crossed his mind, "How did she know where I live?" before shrugging his shoulders, and headed for the front door.
to be continued...
When Dee Dee said she would like to disguise herself as Pitstop, she's talking about Penelope Pitstop.
Aren't shout outs grand, see ya, later dudes.
