Chapter 39: Stronger Relationships

Jackie's POV-

We leave the hotel. We start making our way to the center of the city. There's anime, video games, and cute things everywhere. Finley and I go into the first store, the Rilakkuma store. Yes there is a whole store for this cute little character. I decide not to spend too much although it's going to be very difficult. We make our way through the store, I stop at the office supplies section and get two Rilakkuma pens. Once I'm done looking through the section I move on. I notice Finley isn't around anymore. I panic a little being in such a crowded place makes me feel unsafe. I walk around the store trying to find Finley but I keep getting distracted by everything. I couldn't resist and I got a Rilakkuma keychain and a Rilakkuma shirt. That's all your buying. That's all your buying, I tell myself. I go back to looking for Finley. I feel someone grab my shoulder and I quickly turn around to see who it is. It's Finley! I calm down and let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Look what I found." He says holding up a small packet.

"What is that?" I ask.

"Something you and Loke might need later." He says and gives me the small package. I try to read the packet since all of it is in Japanese it's kinda hard. I finally get it and it's a condom! I throw it back at Finley and it accidentally hits his eye.

"Omg I'm so sorry." I say, trying not to laugh. He laughs.

"It's okay, midget." He says and pats my head.

"Oh c'mon! I'm not that small." I say with a pouty face. He laughs again.

"You're very small." He says. I give him a death stare. I notice that he bought a few things himself. We make our way to the cash register. The lady greets us and asks us how we're doing. We eventually start a conversation. She's so friendly and social. When we finish paying she says goodbye and to come again soon. We say goodbye and thank you. We leave with smiles on our faces. We walk into a random store. We walk around and notice all the anime merchandise, video game merchandise, band merchandise, and T.V show merchandise. I run to the anime section and buy three plushies, a necklace, and a sippy cup. I go find Finley with the biggest smile on my face.

"Stop right there." Finley says. He pulls out his phone and takes a snapchat of me. After he takes the picture I walk up too him and look at what he's typing. He types "someone help her" with laughing emojis. I laugh. I forgot I had a phone so I didn't snapchat or tweet at all today. I pay for my items while Finley keeps looking for things. And again the cashier is really friendly. This time it's a guy though. I thank him and go find Finley. He's looking at the posters and T-shirts in the back. He grabs a T-shirt but puts it back. He sees me and starts to walk over to me. Then his expression changes. He starts to run but he runs past me. I walk over to him and see him staring at all the Doctor Who merchandise. I take out my phone and decide to snapchat this. I take a picture and type "Finley in his natural habitat." I laugh and post it. He grabs about ten things and quickly goes to pay for his things. I laugh because while the guy is scanning his items he's rocking back and forth with a smile on his face. He pays and looks through his bag. I pat his shoulder.

"You happy?" I ask him.

"Very." He says. He hugs me and spins me around. He puts me down and we leave the store.

After a while it started getting dark and we decide to go eat. We had been walking the whole day. We go to the nearest eating place and go in. We are greeted at the door and taken to a table. The woman who escorted us gave us menus and then she walked away. I looked through the menu. Finley and I talked about what we wanted and when we finished the woman came back to ask what we wanted. We ordered two ice teas, two bowls of white rice, shrimp, chicken, noodles, and sushi. The woman excused herself and walked away.
