Shopping Spree

Summary: The couple goes to a mall while Bot steals Lightbulb's car to go there.

~ Test Tube's POV ~

Well, here we are at the mall! It's been a while since we went here... And Fan and I are going to buy some stuff! I just hope my kids are behaving with Lightbulb.

~ Bot's POV ~

It's so boring here!!! Why are my parents going to the mall while I'm stuck here with auntie!?!? Ugh... It's not fair!!!

"Auntie...?"

"Hm?" My aunt looked at me with curiosity on what I want. "What is it, dear?"

"Why do my parents get to go to the mall while we can't?"

"Oh, it's just that they just want to have some fun without you guys since... Both of you can be really naughty sometimes."

"We're not naughty! We've been good kids! Right, Via?"

They looked at me, who is totally not hacking on Steve Cobs' Meeple Pay to steal his money. "Oh, uh... Yeah! We're good kids! We've been obedient to mom and dad!"

"Right, I believe you two..." She looked skeptic, as she continued to watch some stuff on Netflix with me.

"Auntie, how many beers did you drink?"

"Oh, not that mu-" She fainted. That's a good sign! I stole her car keys.

"You coming?" I asked my sibling, who hesitantly agrees.

"Alright, come with me!"

I revved the car as we were ready to leave!

It didn't go well. Why? I'm scared that a cop might pull us over. And, I do not know which mall they went.

"Bot, why don't we ask for directions?"

"Because we're children in a car, duh." I rolled my eyes.

Silence passed on and Via yelled, "Trash can!"

I swerved and then I hit it on accident.

"Oops..."

"Oh no, now you're in big trouble!" They teased.

"Shut up!" I say.

Anyway, the car journey was a disaster because I almost broke the speed limit, I hit three stop signs, and 14 trash cans.

But that car journey was worth it and totally not in vain as my eye saw our parents' car parked in the parking area near the mall.

"Via, I think I know where it is."

I parked the car, as we went to the mall.

"Alright buddy, so here's the plan. We find our parents, and once we do, we surprise them and then tell them that we were sad and we missed them! Do you follow?"

But as soon as I turned my head to look at them, they were gone! I saw them at the escalator and then I made a run for it.

"VIA!!!" I yelled as I grabbed him. "Welp, here we are at the second floor. Now, don't get distracted. We must find mom and da-"

There they go again. But wait... They're heading for... SPENCER'S!?!? I tried running for them but man, they're a fast runner!

"Ooh... That's a pretty sign..." They say, as they slowly walked and then... They entered.

"HEY!!!" I'm not liking this... I chased after them as I then found them. Not in a good way.

I saw them at the very back. But luckily, they're too innocent to know what they are.

"Via, what are you doing here? This area is for adults!"

"Really? I found daddy here!"

"What do you mea-" My eyes cannot believe what I just saw... DAD WAS BUYING STUFF HERE!!! WHAT THE F-

"Ah!" He exclaimed. "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE!?"

"What are YOU doing here!?" I exposed. "But... Where's mom...?"

"Shh! Don't tell her about this!"

"I'm telling her."

"WAIT!!! I- I'll give you anything! A new phone, a new Nintendo Switch, or... Maybe even a new gaming PC!"

"Hmm... Deal!"

"Bot drove auntie Lighty's car." Sprinkles just snitched on me.

"You didn't crash it, right?" He asked.

"Nope!" I proudly exclaimed.

"Good! As long as you didn't crash it, you're fine!"

"WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE!?" Oh damn... Mother is involved. We're all dead.

"Uh... Hi, mom!"

She grabbed the three of us, as she threw us to the car as we left to head home.

~ Test Tube's POV ~

"Care for you two to explain yourselves?" I sternly asked.

"Well, mom..." Via started. "Bot was driving to the mall..."

"BOT WAS DRIVING A CAR!?"

"Hey, at least they didn't crash on something." Fan defended.

"STILL!!! BOTH OF THEM COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT!!! Bot, you should be ashamed of what you just did!" I cleared my throat. "And you know what, that's it." I decided. "You two are grounded!"

"Aww!" They whine.

"Haha!" Fan just mocked.

"And you. Can you explain why you were shopping at the back of a Spencer's?"

"Uhh... I was... Uh..." LOL he sucks at lying. "Researching?"

"Yeah, right. Or maybe you wanted to pleasure yourself while I'm not around." I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "You're getting the silent treatment from me for the rest of the day tomorrow."

"Aww!" He whined.

"Shut up." I say as we headed home. After parking and the three idiots left the car, I saw a hungover Lightbulb. So, I just dragged her unconscious body to her house.

"Much better."
