Hell froze over since today was one of those rare moments Coop's mom decided not to go shopping for him. That's right, he had to learn responsibility by going grocery shopping! A little awkward though with the random zombies here and there roaming the streets, but he got himself to a store just fine thanks to Megas. With the giant robot parked outside and the alarm all set, its owner who strongly believed he was fat, not fluffy, happened to be in the grocery store holding up a shopping list. Staring down at the paper, one of the things on the list said to get cheese for nachos. Easy enough! That was from cows so it'd be in the dairy section!
That's right, he did in fact pay attention when they were explaining the different food groups. Just, he learned it a little differently than most. ...wait....where WAS the dairy section anyway? Left to right, he turned his head to see where some employee could help him out was. Walking down the aisle, pushing the cart with one hand while holding the shopping list with the other, the large blond kept on looking around. Wait a sec, he needed some cereal and as odd luck would have it, he was in the cereal aisle! Shoving the list of things he had to purchase today into his pants pocket with a big smile.
Ah, the feeling of accomplishment was GREAT! Reaching out toward the box of cereal that has come amazing holy glow to it along with music one would expect from a chorus of angels! It was the very last box! Almost as though it was in slow motion...oh wait it was in slow motion. Some old lady caused the glow to poof and the music to screech before stopping as her hand swooped out like a hawk and snatched the box! Feeling his jaw drop for a moment, he knew better than to get the generic stuff, it always tasted so stale! Turning around, he grunted a bit and glared at the elderly woman who looked right back at him and glared.
"Hey lady, that box of Leprechaun's Treasure cereal is MINE!" Grunting out those words in a defensive fashion, he pointed in her general direction and frowned. Oh but she had something to say.."You were taking so long so I just grabbed it! Deal with it, boy!" Before he could even say that he saw it first, that woman was out of there like a bat out of hell. From angry to looking just plain ol' confused at how a grandma who looked like her hips were gonna break could move so fast, his luck was back to being questionable. Cue the amusing mental images going through his brain! In his little fantasy world, he was using Megas to chase the granny before pinch-snatching the cereal and punting her like a foot ball before holding up a robotic arm with its hand doing the universal symbol for `Rock on`! Yeah...he wished! Snap back to reality! Standing there for a bit, that's when a middle-aged worker walked over and poked the big guy's white sleeved shoulder a couple of times.
"Huh...?" Looking over after that little expression of confusion, he noticed the woman who looked kinda old to be working as a grocer. The name tag seemed to glisten with the name `Agatha` and that happy faced pin sparkled as though someone was flicking a light at it! "Can I help you, sir?" That probably middle aged lady droned out those words with a severe lack of enthusiasm before tilting her head to the side as though her neck might be jello. Quickly digging through his pocket with his lower lip sticking out a bit, he then plucked out the shopping list which seemed to trigger music he got whenever the character, Fink opened a chest. It was a `Daaaaa daaaa daa daaaaaa~!` sort of tune...pretty catchy tune. Boy oh boy! He was gonna have that stuck in his head, what fun!
....wait....what was up with that music? First time he ever heard music that ninja'd itself out of no where before! "Hey, did you hear that?" Looking around with shifty eyes as though there was some sort of music ninja around and about before looking back to the lady who swooshed her head to the other side with an expression on her face that seemed to radiate `Eh? You crazy?`"Uh...never mind. Anyway, some crazy old lady came and took MY Leprechaun's Treasure cereal-" "...Have you tried the Wesker's Whiskers? It's limited edition product since the guy who made it got himself on a hit list," a droned out interruption prompted him to lean back a little and cringe...that sounded like cat food!
"That sounds like some kinda freaky new cat food, no wonder he's on a hit list! I think I'll pass on the cereal today... Besides! I read in a magazine about how people who ate that stuff turned into zombies. I'd just like help finding where the dairy i-" Interrupted AGAIN! This time with the woman laughing like a complete and utter psycho..."Riiiiight...uh...can you just point to where it is and then I'll....actually I'll just find it on my own...yeeeeeaaaah." Shoving the shopping list back into his pocket, he rushed off at full throttle with the cart even making a little dust cloud behind him! AWKWARD MOMENT WAS VERY AWKWARD!
Right when he lost his breath, he skid to a stop followed by the screeching squeak of rubber wheels and soles. Taking a nice, heavy exhale, he then looked up and found himself staring at Panda brand cheese among other brands. Though...it was tough to pick what he wanted...."...Hmmmmmmmmmm......" Sounding pretty deep in thought, now he was having a staring contest with the Panda brand cheeses. Why in the world was that lady laughing like a total nut job earlier anyway? Was it really THAT funny how tabloids were saying the Wesker's Whiskers cereals turned people into zombies? ...wait was it even funny at all? Personally, he found it juuuust a little creepy yet pretty cool that cereal could turn people into zombies but to laugh that much? Oh well...now it was time to pick out the cheese...but which one...should he even get a brand of cheese with a panda on it? Decisions decisions!
