" this is, by far, the weirdest holiday shopping I've ever done. "

♡

Waking up at five in the morning for holiday shopping was not your idea, nor Tom's. You'd both much rather shop at night when the rush is dying down and over. However, Paddy still remembered the promise you made to him a year ago; the promise that "next year we'll take you early holiday shopping."

Not wanting to wake up Tom's parents to just pick up Paddy, you both took him to your apartment after dinner to sleep in the guest bedroom. You, Tom, and Tessa were shook awake by Paddy jumping on the bed, Tess practically almost falling off.

"Wake up, its time to go!" He shouted, landing in between you and Tom. Groaning in a little pain, Tom pulled his hand out from under Paddy's knees, still half-asleep. You slowly sat up, rubbing your eyes, gaze going over to Tom, who was being tackled by Paddy.

"I hoped you would forget about that promise, Pads." You mumbled, a little yawn following. Tess ran up to you, sitting in between your legs and wagging her rain back and fourth. Petting her, you gave Paddy a pillow, motioning to hit Tom.
He let out a little giggle, soon violently hitting Tom multiple times.

Tom groaned once again, pushing Paddy off of him and fighting him with his own pillow. You absolutely loved seeing how playful Tom was with his younger sibling, and any little kid in general. It made you want to have one of your own so bad.

Paddy held onto your hand, completely rejecting Tom's attempt at holding his other hand. The three of you tiredly trudged into Target, quickly noticing the chaos that was unfolding right in front of your eyes. No one had even reached the toy or electronic aisle and people were fighting over shopping carts.

You decided to make a game plan, seeing a bunch of people being protective of carts they weren't even going to use. "Tom, I need you to make a distraction," you looked at him, hoping he could come up with something quick. "and as soon as I grab a cart, you're going to jump in it, Paddy."

He nodded, you both going your separate way. In no time, Tom was yelling at the front of the store, looking outside. "Oh my God! Is that Ryan Reynolds?!"

You and Paddy ran and took an empty cart from a lady's grasp, him jumping in and you quickly running to the back of the store. She chased after you for a solid few minutes, eventually stopping for an abandoned cart.

Tom had met the two of you in the back not too long after, uncontrollably laughing. You and Paddy stared at him, waiting for him to calm down. "That was the greatest thing I've ever!"

You and Paddy laughed, thinking of all the people who ran outside to catch a glimpse of the non-existent Ryan Reynolds outside of Target.

You all stopped when you saw somebody in a dinosaur costume leisurely walking around without a care in the world.
"This is, by far, the weirdest holiday shopping I've ever done." You said, looking down the aisles to see multiple people in dinosaur costumes and fighting over random items.

"Are we even on Earth anymore?"
