"MAYRA" Thorn shouted, bursting into the room, holding up a bag. Mayra jumped slightly, but turned and asked "Is it cookies?" Thorn sucked in a breath for dramatic effect, then let it out in a quick "NO". "Well, maybe. I dunno. It's a bag! Wanna open it?" Thorn shook it so it caught her friend's attention. Mayra walked over to grab the bag. "Where did you even get this?" Mayra asked while looking in the bag. "Huh? What is it?" Thorn questioned. Mayra reached her hand in the bag and pulled out a....
large dog collar. Thorn burst out laughing. "What are we supposed to do with this?" Thorn asked. Mayra looked at their cat with an innocent expression.
The collar didn't fit the cat. "It was a large dog collar Mayra." Thorn commented. "The cat could go right through it." In turn Mayra, somewhat offended, turned to glare at Thorn. "Let's see if it'll fit you then" Thorn said a short "huh?" before having a collar forced on her neck. So now there's a laughing Mayra, and a growling Thorn in the room, and a very, very confused cat.
"So, ebay?" Thorn asked, "I'm not walking up to someone offering to sell a collar." "Why not? We could use the money to get more cookies!" "Ebay is selling stuff! Just less social interaction." "...Who would want to buy a collar from who knows where? Couldn't we just...bring it to the pet store? See if they'll trade it? Or something..." Thorn sighed in defeat. "They don't sell cookies at pet shops. But fine then." "Yay! Animals!" Mayra exclaimed, "Let's go now!" "Do I have to go?" Mayra dragged her to the front door, putting on her shoes, "Yes!!" Thorn glared at her friend, and walked out refusing to put on shoes. "Alright! Adventure to the pet store!!" Mayra screamed, then paused, "Wait- where's your shoes?" "Who needs shoes, when you have someone dragging you around? In other words, if i have to go, i'm not wearing shoes. Unless you're willing to tackle me and shove them on my feet." "...well- okay then!!" The girls started their, not so adventurous, adventure to the pet store.
~Time Skip~
Mayra and Thorn walked into the store, Thorn carrying shoes in case she's denied service because she's shoeless. As Mayra darted to the nearest cage, eyes sparkling, Thorn walked up to the cashier of the store. "Sooo, can I sell this?" Thorn asked awkwardly presenting the collar to the person before her. "Uhh, No. Does this place look like a pawn shop to you girl?" "Maybe? Someone who just calls me 'girl' gives you that antique feel." "You getting sassy with me?!" "Maybe, am I?" "Looky here. Either you stop being Ms Smart Ass or go and buy something before I get the manager." "Geez, I was just saying. How about..." Thorn looked at Mayra and grinned evilly.
"Another collar. And two custom name tags." "Suuure. What color, what size, and for the tags, you're gonna have to go to the man over there." "Kay. howabout... violet large dog collar?" "Sure thing let me get it from the back." The cashier clerk went to the back to go fetch the collar, leaving Thorn to wait a few minutes. The clerk came back with the collar and Thorn payed.
Then she walked around her friend playing with the gerbils to the guy with the name tags. "What can I do for you today young lady?" "I'd like a name tag. Is there a paper I'm supposed to fill out or something?" The man nodded and handed Thorn a 2 page packet, "One's for what you want on it, and the other is just license agreement. If you're getting more than one tag you might want another packet though." "Oh, I'll take another." Thorn said, already scribbling stuff down on the papers. "Sure thing," The man said as he grabbed another packet and held it out for the girl, "Here ya go." Thorn got started on the second one, handing the other packet back with what it's supposed to look like, skipping the legal stuff. "Alright, well I'll start the machine to make this one while you finish that." "Yeah, it's not for a pet, as you can probably guess. It's basically for matching friendship bracelets. An inside joke." "Ah, believe me, many people have done this before in the past, nothing new. To me at least." The clerk and Thorn chuckled as Thorn handed back the second paper. "Alright, this tag is done, the other will be done in a few minutes, in the meantime, I think your friend is stuck." Thorn turned to look at Mayra.
"Thorn! Look I'm with the birds!!" Mayra said as she stood like a tree in a cage surrounded by birds. Thorn laughed loudly as the clerk finished the second tag. "So, do i pay here, or somewhere else?" "You can pay here, if you'd like, or go back to the cashier up front." "Here please, I want to not get banned here because I can't pay for something Mayra broke." Mayra shouted offensively from the birdcage, "Hey!!!" "I see," The clerk began, "You can pay here, just sign this paper pad right here." Thorn did as told, gave the clerk their money, then rapped on the bird cages with a spare quarter. "Cookies!" she called out. "Where?!" Mayra called back, coming out of the cage, covered in feathers. "Come with me and I'll show you!" Thorn responded. Mayra nodded and said goodbye to her feathery and furry friends. Thorn walked out with the bag of stuff and headed out to get ice cream. "What about the cookies?!" Mayra whined. "Whoever bu- sells the collars gets to pick." Thorn retorted. Mayra pouted and then spoke up, "Wait- what were you going to say originally?" "Buffalo, that place had awesome souvenirs for a pet shop. Managed not to buy any." Thorn lied. "Oh...okay? Well then, I want cookie dough ice cream." "The frozen treats await!" Thorn shouted. Mayra laughed and followed her shoeless friend. Thorn paused, and walked closer to Mayra. "Hey, you've got some feathers on your neck, how are they not tickling you?" Thorn said, but before Mayra could do anything she said "I'll get it!" and quickly snapped the collar on.
"...WHAT THE HELL? What's on my neck?! What did you do?!" Mayra asked feeling around her neck. Thorn quickly ran to the nearest ice cream shop, laughing like crazy. "You're so dead!!" Mayra screeched as she ran after her friend. "Yeah, get in line. There's so many people who put me on their hit list." "Geez, went dark much, was just kidding," Mayra panted out as she caught up with her friend, "This is so embarrassing." "Nah, not really." "Mm-whatever. Let's just get some ice cream and go home." Thorn laughed, slowing to a walk. "Yeah, well you still have to wear that" "But why?" "Because I'm wearing one too and they look awesome." "I mean, they're pretty cool... ugh finnnne I guess I'll keep wearing it." "Yay!" Mayra stuck her tongue out Thorn as they went to go get Ice cream. Thorn stopped. "Mayra.... Look." Thorn said, pointing to a building with loud music and laughter coming from it. "Oooo! A party. Think they have any cookies?!" "Yes. And other free foods." "...You thinking what I'm thinking?" Mayra asked, a huge grin on her face. "Party crash?" "YUP! Let's go!!!" Thorn and Mayra quickly ran to the building, Thorn already mumbling the lyrics to half the songs. "Why is the music so loud?!" Thorn shrugs in response.
"I see the cookies over there!" Mayra shouted, running towards the table that held the sweets. Thorn walked over to the ice cream machine, and practically set up camp there. Mayra walked over to Thorn as she stuffed her own purse with cookies, "They have a lot of cookies here." Thorn just turned on the ice cream machine and served herself three bowls of it. "You think anyone thinks we're weird with these collars on?" Mayra asked while munching on a cookie. "Nah." Thorn responded.
They stayed there a while, eating cookies and ice cream before Mayra had to use the bathroom, "I'll be right back, I'm going to go see if anyone knows where the bathroom is." "Kay." Mayra left the 'camp' and went up to a dude who seemed to know his way around this place. "E-excuse me sir? Do you know where the bathrooms are?" "Yeah to the- Ooo~ and who do you belong to?~" The dude asked. "W-What?" Mayra asked getting a bit nervous. The young man started to backup Mayra against the wall. She squeaked before ducking and running towards Thorn.
"Oh I love ice cream- woah slow down Mayra!!" Thorn screeched as she was bumped into, almost falling to the floor. "Can I please take off the collar!!" Mayra pleaded. "No." "But this guy-" Mayra was cut off by the guy himself, "Soo~ Are you both lost~" he purred leaning down to Mayra's height. Thorn stood in front of Mayra, pushing the tall male away. "Leave us alone." "And what if I don't want to- woah hey put that away!!" The man screeched as a knife was pulled up near his face. "I won't hesitate to stab you." Thorn whisper shouted in his face. "One more move towards my friend and I will call it, 'self defence'." she said scarily. "Woah- calm down Thorn," Mayra said, also a bit scared of the knife. "Fine... I have spray on hair stuff. Can I use that instead?" Mayra rolls her eyes, "Yeah, sure, but-" Mayra got in the dudes face, "I'm taking all the cookies!" And then she walked away, dragging Thorn away by the collar to make sure she didn't stab him anyway. "I'm gonna be on a sugar high with this amount of cookies!" Mayra screamed happily as she dumped most of the cookies in her satchel-purse.
The end.
For now, hehehehe.
