"Unbelievable! We've just been spotted by the Space Pirates and she goes out on a grocery run?!" Ms. Ancient yells at the top of her lungs.
Rex pokes his head into the control room, "What's happening? Why are you screaming?"
"Miss Light went grocery shopping." Simon explains.
"Oh, is that all? That's not that bad Mom," Rex says, looking concerned at his mother's face before turning and leaving the control room.
When I got to the grocery store, I parked and unbuckled my seatbelt, when my dinotector rang.
"Uh, hello?" I say, wondering who's calling me.
"Dark! What are you doing?!" Ms. Ancient screams into the dinotector causing me to clasp my hands around my ears.
"Uhh, just out for a hike, how 'bout you?" I say sheepishly, trying to cover up the true intent of my drive.
"Well, I've just been here waiting on news about the data slug," She says relatively camly seemingly having forgotten why she was mad in the first place. However her face soon wretches and she goes back to her previous angry state, "Hey! Don't you lie to me, I know you went grocery shopping! You know that you shouldn't go out after the last mission. You guys are still at large!"
"Yes, I know. And I respect that, however, if I don't get these groceries we'll probably starve before we can defeat the Space Pirates. Besides I'm being careful, I've had Simon drive through all the back roads that no one uses. Anyway, I should go, bye!" I say quickly ending the call and sighing in relief. I toss my hood over my head, return Majung to his card, and enter the store. Walking through the aisles, I grab anything on our list.
"I should probably get some chocolate for those late night, guilty cravings." I mutter to myself as I search through the candy aisle, my favorite place in a grocery store.
"Here," A pale white hand extends to me, handing me a few bars of chocolate.
"Oh, thanks," I smile at a face that I know. The very pretty face of a pale white woman with straight black hair and red eyes.
"Sheer," I say to myself and suddenly I feel anxiety creep into me, however I can feel that not all of it is mine.
"No problem," She says with a strange glint in her eyes before heading off.
I tug my hood down more before heading to the checkout aisle, feeling the sudden need to leave the store. Luckily I had almost everything I needed. A woman with a glazed over expression rings me up and I quickly escort myself out, heading directly to my car.
"Simon, plot a course for home and make it snappy and sneaky. We might be being followed."
"Understood, plotting course now."
Thankfully we got back in one piece and we weren't followed. Though I shudder to think what that conversation is going to be like with the Ancients. But for now, I'm busy unpacking these groceries with the others.
"So, does Ms. Ancient know you did this?" Noami asks.
"Well, I told Simon not to tell her but I think he did. I don't think lying is his strong suit." I say with a sigh as I place the bars of chocolate in the fridge.
"Got it!" Rod exclaims, twirling in his chair with his hands raised in victory..
"You got in?!" Laura asks excitedly.
"Yeah! Now we can get all the info we need for now."
"Good job Rod, keep it up." Seth commends.
After a few minutes of silence and typing, Reese raises her voice quietly, "That's strange."
"What is?" Rod asks.
"It seems like the Space Pirates are in possession of only 6 of the 7 stones."
"Which one's missing?"
"The Black Cosmo Stone.
