Gabe's Day Out

Chapter 2 - Water Balloons

By the time Gabe had gotten barely 10 feet from his home, he realised that he hadn't eaten. With his 'dramatic exit' he couldn't exactly turn back for the purpose of getting food and then once again walk out casually as if he never came back in the first place - That simply wasn't the Gabe Duncan way! Gabe sighed and said to himself that it was finally time to used that conveniently placed $10 that his father always kept underneath a plant pot that literally everyone except Gabe himself had forgotten about. How ironic it was that Gabe had everything that he needed placed out for him, almost as if his family were expecting him to leave, or some lazy writer couldn't be bothered to set up a real plot and just sat there writing out a storyline as they go along, but that doesn't happen in real life, right?

Gabe began to make his way to the nearest store, not quite sure on what he was going to buy yet. He'd been eating quite healthily as of late, just so he could aggravate his father by not bringing any junk food into the house for him to steal. Perhaps salad was a good idea, but then again, salad was God and nobody is worthy of salad. Perhaps Gabe would just buy a variety pack of chicken. He enjoyed chicken, although his friend's had constantly sent him pictures containing the captions 'lickin chikin', and as a result Gabe constantly found himself hearing that phrase whenever eating chicken.

Upon arriving at the doors, Gabe finding himself craving more than food; he felt like doing something mischievous! Perhaps water balloons would be a good idea? Meh, they meant less work than his usual elaborate pranks, so why not?

Gabe picked up a packet of chicken before shoving it into a basket that he acquired as he walked through the doors. That was simple enough, however Gabe had no idea whether this store even had water balloons or not. 'Now, where to start...'  Gabe began to get lost in his thoughts when suddenly he was interrupted by a large crashing sound that emanated from the nearest produce isle. A large crate of pickles had somehow toppled over, and the now floor-bound pickles., lay sprawled out across the entirely of the isle. A man from another another isle came speeding toward the pickle infested isle and began to scream "pICKLES!". Long story short, it was a hilarious yet confusing turn of events. 

Gabe continued his journey down the isles and at the moment he got bored and randomly turned down one, and immediately found what he was looking for. A whole section of balloons that were under the brand of 'durex'. There were so many in an array of different coloured boxes and when Gabe came across water balloons that were titled 'for his pleasure' he couldn't resist buying them. Whilst checking out his chicken and water balloons he got quite a few questioning looks, but Gabe didn't really care.

After checking out his products, Gabe ran to the bathroom to fill up his balloons with water, although he didn't realise that he bought long balloons rather than the round ones he would've wanted, but no matter. As the water filled the first balloon, Gabe noticed a substance that began to lather up inside of the balloon, this greatly confused him, but he came to the conclusion that they were extra strength balloons and decided that they were better than his usual balloons.

It probably wasn't normal to see a teenager walk out of a bathroom with a basket full of chicken and balloons, but hey, Gabe had seen his sister wearing a skirt made of cardboard before so these people really couldn't complain.

Soon, Gabe approached his ex-crush Kit's home with a bag of ready-made water balloons; Ready, Aim and...

Fire!
