Shopping Day - Cait/Pippi Crack - 11
Cait sighed and followed Pippi into yet another store. Silently she wondered how many stores they were going to go into. Cait had a momentary lapse in sanity when she agreed to go shopping with Pippi and didn't know it was going to be an all day thing. She had honestly thought it was going to take an hour or two, not six...going on seven.

She opened her water bottle and took a long drink.

	Ooooookay. Cait could do this. At least she thought she could. It wasn't that much different from Court, right? Cait forced herself to smile. "Lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The people at the front seem somewhat startled to see someone subjecting themselves to the place without any children along - until they meet Pippi, and the driver 'helps' explain things a little. He's well paid for such duties - and then Cait is on her own again when he returns to the car, and they're greeted by a giant mouse mascot, who Pippi has to give a big hug.

	Nothing below or above the ocean had prepared Cait for this. It was a lot to take in at once. She of course held back while Pippi was being Pippi. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, so we have a seat right up by the band. Then we order our pizzas, and go play games!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-02-08 05:55 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Cait said. "Sounds like a plan." The band was really a few animatronic characters on the stage that activated on a set schedule. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-08 06:21 am UTC (link)
	The band is animatronic, and not especially good, but Pippi knows all the words, and sings along, until a girl comes to take their order. She eyes Cait, and shrugs with an 'I'm sorry' expression on her face before asking what they want. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait just gave the waitress a smile. Cait ordered a large pizza for herself. Shopping with Pippi wasn't easy. When she was done she looked around a bit. Some of the games looked interesting or at least interesting enough to take a look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-11 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	Pippi, meanwhile, knows all the games, and is more than happy, requested or not, to explain how they all work. Not that any of them are terribly complicated. There are occasional reprieves from helpful commentary so Pippi can sing along with the band when she 'loves this one!' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait and Pippi weren't the only ones enjoying Chuck E Cheese this day. Two extra-dimensional visitors were also soaking up the atmosphere. "Hey Bugs, I hear they have birthday parties here. Maybe there will be one today." "I heard that too Boo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-16 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, so in this one, you roll the ball like this, and try to get the ball into the little circles tog et the bigger math. Its kind of hard with all those zeroes, but don't worry, the game does it all for you. Then you get tickets here that you can trade for prizes!" Pippi is utterly focused on her detailed and helpful explaining, and misses the imps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-02-16 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Okay. I'll give it a try," Cait said. She had been focused on Pippi and the game that she was also unaware of the imps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	5th_dimension 2012-02-16 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"Oh Bugsy! Look! There is a birthday party! That means cake and ice crem!" "But Boo, if there's a party why aren't people in their birthday suits?" "You know Bugs, I was wondering that myself. Maybe we should help them out." "What a great idea Boo!" Bugsy snapped his fingers and clothes disappeared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi bounces and cheers. "You're really good at this! Got the little hole there first try!" she cheers. "Which bikini do you tan in? I don't think I've seen the one that'd leave those tan lines." Natural segue, that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-02-16 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Huh?" Cait asked and looked down at herself. "Oh for the love of little fishes! Not again!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

One would think that there are situations where even the densest people 'get it', such as ending up naked in a restaurant.

Nope. Or at least that one isn't it.

"Because, that tanline really isn't flattering on your butt. You have such a nice one, you should really tan in a thong or find somewhere to sunbathe nude and get a little color. Summer is coming, after all. Maybe we should shop some more and find you another suit."

	"Pippi, we're naked. Look at yourself," Cait said. She looked around and yup everyone in the place was naked. Parents were freaking out as well as the employees. The only ones not really reacting besides Pippi were the kids. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well duh, I mean really. How would I see your tanlines otherwise? Focus on the important things here, Cait. You have a boyfriend. We need to get your tan more even. That's totally going to show. Speaking of which, you should really wear stuff that emphasizes your hips and butt more. All that swimming must be really good for you - really toned. Your wardrobe does nothing for it."

	Cait sighed. "Pippi, we should probably find something to cover ourselves and get out of here." Cait felt a headache coming on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-16 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yeah, huh." Pippi glances down, considering the predicament. "We got all those new clothes out in the trunk. In here... uhm, I'm not sure. There's all that birthday ribbon and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-02-16 05:30 am UTC (link)
	"I...I'll go get the clothes from the trunk," she said. Cait pulled water out of the air and wrapped some around her covering important parts. "Do not go anywhere. I'll be right back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-16 05:41 am UTC (link)
	She's almost positive there's flaws in this somewhere, but Cait is really smart, as long as its not about clothes, drinking or penguins - and unexpected nudity is none of those, so she goes with it, sitting back down to work on her pizza while the restaurant continues in a near frenzy. "Ok, see you soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-02-16 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Cait nodded and headed for the car with the water wrapped around her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Boo! Look! It's Pippi! We need to go say hi!" "We do, Bugs. Let's go!" They made their way over to Pippi. "Hello!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-02-23 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, hi!" And something occurs to her. "Did you guys do the whole naked thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course we did! It's a birthday and people need to be in their birthday suits. Did you like it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
