Walmart and Plungers, part 2

Well, they did it again.

This time, I brought it upon myself, kind of. We needed garbage bags from Walmart, and while we were getting out of the car, I stupidly asked The Troll to be nice to me this time. He just stopped, and a large grin slowly spread across his face. I groaned, knowing I just sealed my own fate.

"I hadn't even thought of it until you said something," Nick responded, giving me a sideways glance. Of course, I now knew what to expect.

"I need to buy leashes for you both."

"What, so you can look like a dominatrix parading around with two sex slaves?" Nick quipped. I ignored that. He knew perfectly well why I had made mention of leashes, and it wasn't for a perverted reason.

Once we were in the store, as in the second we stepped foot inside, the men looked at each other, and Nick instructed Mike to go one way, while he went another. I stood there in shock, trying to figure out which of the two I should chase down, and after a moment's hesitation, I chased after Mike.

Cue chasing him around the store. Or rather, I cut through the Women's clothing section to try and head them both off. I found them both in Electronics, where they were wandering around, seemingly aimlessly. Once I was caught up to them, The Troll tore off, and I knew where he was going, but Mike grabbed me instead.

"Spend time with me!" he begged, pulling me into a hug. He sounded so sincere, and so pathetic, that I was now torn. I wasn't sure if he was just distracting me or if he really wanted attention. So I remained, but me, being me, bitched the whole time about how I didn't trust The Troll and I didn't want to have to hunt down plungers, but my love for Mike was keeping me from leaving. Finally, I was able to start dragging him toward the plunger aisle, but there was no Nick in sight.

Mike and I went toward the grocery bag aisle, as that was the main reason we'd come to Walmart in the first place. We then walked back to see if Nick was anywhere. We found him walking torward us, with a suspiciously large grin on his face. I just stared him down, as he looked back and forth between Mike and I.

Since I was suspicious, I walked back toward the plunger aisle, and the two men followed me. I inspected the plungers and since I didn't know what was going on, I just looked back at the two. "You ready to leave?" Mike asked Nick.

"Yeah, let us go," came The Troll's response. I thought that was the end of it. We walked down to the end of the aisle...where they split off into different directions.

"Damn!" I hissed, while laughing. I was beginning to suspect a psychic communication was happening without my knowledge, but I couldn't confirm it. I ended up walking back to guard the plungers. Nick then came back a few moments later and just stood there staring at me, still grinning. He started to walk away, when Mike came running into the aisle. I looked at them both, when Mike ran away again. "Stay here!" I said to Nick, who just shrugged.

"Okay.." it was the only thing he said. But I had a better idea. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep Nick within eyesight, so instead I walked over to the plungers and sat down in front of them, arms folded.

"I'm staying right here." I said, trying my hardest not to laugh.

"You look like a petulant child." It took most of my self control to keep from bursting out laughing. Of course, he disappeared again. I stood back up and followed him, only to find that he'd disappeared into think air for the millionth time.

I walked around the nearby aisles to see if there were any trace of The Troll or Mike, but I couldn't find them.

I walked back to the plunger aisle to see them both standing there. I immediately walked back to guard the plungers, and after a stand off, Nick reached around me and ran off with a plunger.

I chased him. I followed him for a good while around the Sporting Goods section, trying to yank that plunger out of his hand. The only thing that got me off his tail, was when we passed by the plungers again, and I saw Mike trying to put together another plunger. I chased him, and he ran. Which then gave The Troll the opportunity to run off with the plunger I'd failed to grab from him.

I had no idea how many plungers were hidden. But by this point my knee was starting to act up, and I was feeling the beginnings of a bad mood coming on. I suddenly had no desire to find the plungers. I walked back by the aisle to see the men standing there, and I was about to ask them where all the plungers were, when a Walmart employee came by, putting two plungers away.

Since The Troll and Mike were found out, they found all the plungers for me. Instant good mood for me, as I didn't have to find them all. Bwaha.

I did get Choco-Tacos out of the mix again though, which really made me happy. But I look at it this way. I am getting ideas on how to get back at The Troll. Nothing concrete yet, but there will come a day when I will troll him so epically, that his sanity will sink to the same level as mine, and that's pretty far down.

But then again, I think he's already there.
