103. What do you Want?

"Guys! I'm heading to the supermarket!" Coiny shouted from across the room. "Anyone need anything?"

"Could you get some more veggie straws?" Gaty asked, "Bladey loves them."

Coiny took out his phone, "Sure, let me add them to the list? Anyone else?"

"Maple syrup," Barf Bag said.

"Okay," Coiny noted, "Want anything to dip into it?"

Barf Bag shook her head, "No no. Just the syrup, and make sure it's not the fake kind. I want a bowl of pure maple syrup."

Coiny scrunched his face, "Yeesh, Pin and Needle had all sorts of weird cravings but a bowl of maple syrup...that's a new one."

Barf Bag rolled her eyes, "Well, ask these two," she glanced at her belly, "You guys really want maple syrup, huh?"

Coiny laughed, "Okay, final call for anymore requests?"

Needle came over to Coiny, "Do you need any help? Dimey's down for a nap and I know shopping for this house alone is quite chaotic."

Coiny thought about it for a bit, then agreed, "That would be amazing, Needle, let's go!"

The two of them got into the car and drove off to the supermarket. Once there, they grabbed a shopping cart and headed on in.

"Wait!" Needle interjected, just as Coiny was about to start looking for the items, maybe we should divide up the list, that way, we can tackle this list faster!"

Coiny liked the idea, "That's a smart move, okay, how about you do isles 5 through 12, and I'll do the other isles plus produce."

Needle nodded, as she grabbed another cart, "Sounds good, let's do this!"

The two of them split up and started shopping away. Needle was able to quickly find the vegetable sticks, and threw a whole pack of them into her cart.

"Okay," Needle said to herself, "Now to get the maple syrup for Barf Bag."

Meanwhile, Coiny was busy weighing this different fruits the team had requested.

"Alrighty," he whispered to himself, "I think 12 bananas should be enough for the week." He started counting out the bananas, but just as he was about to put them on the scale, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Well, well, if it isn't the princess dad."

Coiny instantly froze in his tracks. He turned his head around, and was livid at who he saw standing behind him, "Match! Pencil! What are you two doing here."

Pencil smirked at him, "Oh, ya know, Just buying some groceries."

Match started to get angry at Coiny, "Shouldn't you be at home playing dress up with your daughter?" Match and Pencil chuckled with each other, making Coiny upset.

"And why do you care so much about what I do with my daughter?" Coiny asked, crossing his arms.

"Oh, ya know," Match replied, "We're just like, looking out for her is all."

"We don't mean any harm," Pencil responded, "We just want to make sure that Thread doesn't get a false perception of masculinity."

Coiny lowered his eyebrows, "And where's the masculinity in your daughters life, 'cause I ain't seeing it from you two."

Match acted offended, "Our Flare has like, many masculine role models in her life thank you very much."

Coiny rolled his eye's, "And so does our Thread, end of story." He started pushing his cart away from the two of them.
