"W-what are you doing here!?!?" Stuttered Gina's best friend Al as he swivelled his head around to see who had crashed through the door.

After a second of complete silence, realization flooded Gina's face and her cheeks turned as red as a ripe tomato. "OMIGOSHI'MSOSORRYITHOUGHTTHISWASTHEGIRLS'ROOM!!!!" Screeched Gina who turned red and looked as if she wanted to dip her head in gasoline and ignite her hair.

She raked her eyes around the pungent smelling room for a place to hide and was greatly relieved to see a window beside the urinals, so she ran over to Al (who was still petrified in embarrassment) and climbed one of the strange contraptions to reach the window ledge. She then proceeded to kick the glass until the frame let loose and she jumped out.

After letting his brain process what just happened, Al decided that he had just hallucinated the whole thing! Sighing in relief, Al continued to do his business.

A second later, Chris opened the door and looked around, only to see Albert's back and since Gina and Al were unintentionally wearing similar clothes that day and looked somewhat alike physically, Chris ran towards Al thinking he was Gina and grabbed his shoulder. In surprise, Al turned and without meaning to, urinated all over the confused boy.

Gina was crouched beneath the window listening to what was happening in the washroom. Having just escaped, she was shocked when she heard a girlish scream followed by a large crash. After a flurry of listening to Al apologizing and lots of swearing, Gina decided to leave.

Groaning quietly, she fled from the scene of the crime, plagued with guilt and promising herself that she would explain everything to Al later.

Gina's mother came home to find her daughter with a brown paper bag over her head. "What happened here?" Inquired Florence timidly as she saw Gina curled in the fetal position on the floor.

"I can never show my face in public again!" Wailed Gina, her voice muffled from the bag.

"Tell me what happened."

Florence pondered silently while taking a sip of her tea. Gina had told her mother the incident but left out the part about panicking when Chris Blake talked to her. She then stood up, pulled Gina to the door and pushed her out, intending to lock her out of the house until she got the groceries.

Understanding what her mother meant by kicking her out, Gina began to walk to the store, knowing that she had to finish her mission. You may think that Gina's mother was crazy for locking her out of the house, but when Gina turned thirteen, she and her mother reached an agreement that if they failed their quest to do something (example: grocery shopping) one had the duty to lock the other out of the house until the mission was accomplished.

This time, making sure she had her glasses on, she carefully read the list as she walked toward the supermarket.
