"Meredith I can't even begin to express the amount of disappointment I am in... I mean really graffitiing the school on the first day?" Merediths father says pacing the room. "You're lucky that they only suspended you and you weren't arrested."

"But father I already told you I was set up"  Meredith says pushing herself up from her bed. "Now that is enough Meredith! I don't want to hear another lie... now you will stay in your room until you can behave like the good  daughter  I raised. If you'll excuse me, I'm running late for my meeting... thanks to you." Merediths father says shutting the door harshly.

"Like the daughter you raised..." Meredith says and rolls her eyes,  falling back on to her bed.

"Come on Mikey...  graffitiing the school was fun.. sure but this... this seems way more likely for us to be caught...." 

"Ramonaaa we are Young... and we only have one goal in life and that is... to live it to the fullest baby." Mikey says smiling as Ramona looks away  unsure

Mikey grabs her hands "Ramona come on now you known I would never  let anything bad happen to you... just as you know if we keep eating food out of the trash we won't be here much longer.."

Ramona thinks for a bit, looking down and back into Mikeys eyes "fine I'm in."

The beeps of grocery items being scanned can be heard as well as the chatter of the many people inside the grocery store.. Ramona looks to her right as a middle aged woman with two younger kids and a crying baby in her arms is trying to get her baby to calm down while trying to take the chocolate chip cookie container away from her two younger kids. 

Ramona speeds up a bit "I hate children." She says muttering  under her breath. 

"What was that ravioli??" Mikey says making a sad face. "Does that mean you wouldn't want to have any children with me?"  Ramona elbows him and laughs "shutup"    

they continue walking down the grocery store until they get to the aisle with the apples. Quickly, Mikey and Ramona grab two and put them under their coats. They start walking fastly back to the exit of the store when they Hear a .... "Ahem."

Turning around, they see a young little girl who looks to be about 6 or 7  smacking quite loudly on bubblegum with her arms crossed.

"Yes little girl?" Mikey asks batting his eyelashes.

"Why are you two stealing? My mommy says that isn't right... so if I were you two bums I'd put  the food back."

"Did your mommy also tell you it's not good to be putting your nose in other people's a-"

Ramona quickly puts a hand over mikey's mouth and laughs. "What he means to say is that we weren't stealing these items... we were just... uh... oh look a pony!" Ramona says pointing to her right.

"Do you really think I'm that stupid?" The little girl says unimpressed.

"Yeahh.. she's not buying it come on Mikey!" Ramona says and the two of them run

"THIEVES!!" The little girl yells alerting everyone in the store.

Ramona and Mikey make it out the door as the stores alarm goes off.

"Hey so far so good!" Mikey says  as a cop car blocks them.

Ramona looks at Mikey as he shrugs "oops spoke too soon."

"You think?"

" you two Hands up where I can see them." 

They slowly put their hands up as Mikey leans towards Ramona "we are gonna have to head towards that gate and jump it when I say run."

The cop starts walking towards them 

"Run!" Mikey says and they start running again, they reach the gate and jump it and continue running and pretty soon they feel safe and fall down onto the grass, laughing and out of breath, they start eating their apples."
