I was sooooooooooooooo pessimistic about going shopping. We were getting food first. As soon as we  got to the shopping trolleys, Lockwood dumped me in one, turned to the store. He bent over and scraped his foot against the ground, thrice. 

"Ready..........." He murmured.

George spoke. "Lockwood, what kind of food are we.........? Hey, what're you doing?"

"Steady..........."

"No, you can't, I-" 

"GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

We sailed forward, so fast I could here whistling in my ears. How was this gonna end? I turned round- to see that Lockwood had his face turned towards the ceiling, not paying attention to where he was going. 

" Lockwooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He ignored me. " Anthony Lockwood, I swear that, if we crash I shall-"

WHAM!!!!!!! Ow. That was.................actually pretty fun. But......... Oh god. There was Lockwood, face first on the ground, shaking. Tiny noises came from him.

"Lockwood? Are you ok? Lockwood?" I rolled him over. I could see Holly and George walking, worriedly towards us. My leader lay there, hands over his face, rocking from side to side. Hiccup-like sounds erupted from his mouth. People were forming a crowd around us now, looks of concern upon their faces. And OMG Inspector Barnes was among them! 

"Lockwood......" I tenderly removed his hands- only to see a grin worthy of the Cheshire Cat and sparkling, dark chocolate eyes. It looked as though the Cheshire Cat had got the cream, been rewarded for it, and told it had won a diamond trophy for being all round awesome. Yup, you gotta look pretty gleeful to accomplish that look.
