Before I met up with Romar again we went our seperate way to clean up. I swung by the hygine section to grab new bandages, baby wipes, deoderant, a brush, and shampoo and conditioner. I also swung by the clothes section and grabed new pj's that consisted of a large t-shirt and some fluffy shorts.
I went to the employee bathrooms in the back because the sink was bigger and went to work attempting to wash my hair. It took me a while but I eventually got all the product out of my hair. I then cleaned up with baby wipes and got changed. Before I could chaange my bandage I heard a knock on the door and Romars timid voice on the other side.
"Hey, you in there?"
"Yea!" I answerd back.
"Are you decent? Can I come in?" He asked.
"Yea!" I yelled back. I saw the door crack open and Romar poke his head in before opening the door fully and stepping in. He was sporting a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that read "Jenius".
"Do you need help with re-bandaging?" He asked.
"No, I got it." I said back. I wanted to avoid what had happened earlier, it made me feel awkward and nervous.
I got to work cleaning it up and re-bandaging it. By the time I was done Romar had gotten comfortable sitting up on the counter reading a science magazine, swinging his legs back and forth.
"Alrighty, I'm done!" I announced happily.
"Ok, What do you want to do next?" He asked, putting the magazine down.
"Umm?" I thought for a moment on how to plan this out. I wanted to set up his party with balloons and decorations and to grab the cake and ice cream, but I didn't know how to distract him so he wouldn't see me putting it together. "How about you go clean up the beauty section that we wrecked when we first got here while I clean up the clothes and food section. I'd hate to leave all that mess when we leave."
"Yea!" He said surprised, probably not expecting me to be the type of person to clean up my own mess, and he was right. "I'll see you later."
"Ok byeeee!" I said happily, glad my distraction had worked so easily.
I skipped off to the food section with ice cream, cookies and cake being my priority. I quickly grabbed the flavors Romar had told me he would like and delivered it back to base camp. I then ducked around to the aisle where I knew the party supplies were located and snatched what I needed. I then went back to the tent area and quickly worked to get everything ready.
I spent a good twenty minutes throwing up streamers, quickly pinning up a banner, and blowing up balloons before I figured he was close to finishing cleaning up. I stopped blowing balloons for a moment, after feeling light headed and I imagined I was close to turning blue. I laid down on my back for a rest and shouted out to the echoing store.
"HEY ROMAR!"
"YES?" I heard his voice echo back a moment later.
"HOW CLOSE ARE YOU TO BEING DONE?" I asked bluntly.
"UMM...10 MINUTES TOPS I GUESS?" He shouted back. "WHY? DO YOU NEED HELP OVER THERE?"
"NO! I'M GOOD OVER HERE! MEET ME BACK AT BASE CAMP WHEN YOU ARE DONE!"
"OK!"
After This exchange I finished up the balloons faster than I ever thought possible and set up the candles on the cake (Not lighting them of course). I slapped on a party hat and grabbed some noise makers. I stood close to the border of our camp and yelled out, "Romar! WHERE ARE YOU?"
