(Sabrina and Ty are standing in the store isle, surrounded by all types of household cleaners. The simple but complicated decision of which household cleaner was best loomed over them. But the time was 7:13pm, and the store was about to close).

Employee: (On Speakerphone and with boredom) Attention all shoppers, we will be closing up shop at 7:30pm, so be sure to ask an employee for help to speed up your shopping process. Have a good evening.

Woman: Oh bother! (she says, looking at two identical boxes of crackers, but at the same time, they're completely different. She looks at the boxes one last time before throwing them into her cart in frustration.)

Sabrina: (giggling) It seems we're not the only one having that issue.

Ty: (serious and rushed) Sabrina, this is no time for jokes. The store's going to close in (Ty glances at his watch) 16 minutes, and we still haven't picked a cleaner!

Sabrina: (Snapping) Well, it certainly would help if you were looking through these as well!

Ty: (Ty rolls his eyes and skims over the products, while his eyes scrunch in frustration) These all look the same! How are we supposed to find the difference?!

Sabrina: (twisting suddenly towards Ty) I don't know! That's what I've been trying to say! We would already be checking out if we came here earlier!

Ty: (in offense) Well I'm sorry that I didn't know the pumpkin would explode! (Sabrina's eyes fill with rage) I mean, who knew?

Sabrina: (points to self) I did! I even told you countless times not to put firecrackers in a pumpkin! Especially in my house for hecks sake!

Ty: (Ty rolls his eyes again and turns away from her) Well you should have tried harder. (Sabrina becomes angered and throws products off the shelves, only to reveal a product they hadn't seen before)

Sabrina: (grabs the bottle and reads the label) Ty, search up the reviews for Oxiclean. It should work.

Ty: (Ty pulls out his phone and searches up the product) Hey Sabrina, there's like, 4.1 reviews. Not sure if that's like, a good amount of something. Probably. (Sabrina rolls her eyes, snatching Ty's phone from his hands)

Sabrina: Give it here. I can't trust you to do anything. (She looks on the phone, scrolling down and furrowing her brows in frustration. Most of these were satire. Ty cranes his head, but Sabrina blocks him from seeing his phone) Alright, let's go. (Ty's legs stutter with hesitation, while he ponders over a worry of his, but then shrugs it off and follows after Sabrina).

(They make their way over to the express lane, but Ty becomes distracted by a sequined fedora. Sabrina notices this, and is quick to pull him away.)

Sabrina: No.

Ty: But-- Sabrina-

Sabrina: No. (Ty then gives up after this, sending a farewell wave to the sparkled fedora, never to be placed on his head.)

(Sabrina jostles her leg while waiting in line. She was in the express lane, which is 15 items or fewer, but one person decided to place 23 items on the conveyor belt.)

Sabrina: Are you kidding me? I have to get home quickly before the pumpkin stains the walls!

Ty: (Rushed and impatient) Sabrina, it's fine it's just-- (Sabrina's eyes narrow, shutting his mouth)

Sabrina: Just give me the money so I can pay for it (Sabrina says, holding her hand out, only for Ty to have a panicked look on his face) Well?! (Sabrina shouts impatiently, shaking her hand now, only for panic to reach her face as well) You have it... right?
