Blog-iary Shorts: Shop-a-thon

Ello governors,

I’m really tired from the shopping marathon thingy I had participated in. I can’t believe that I was able to escape from there in time to watch The Adventures of Rania Lords. Anyway, here’s what happened:

7:30 PM-

The gang and I were at Jenny’s for Thanksgiving and at the time we were in her room watching Thanksgiving specials and talking. I was mostly talking with Jenny about how crazy black friday can get and our experiences with it. Danny and Jen were talking about Rania and Arnold and how their ships are are sinking and rising. When Jenny and I got to the topic of gifts it hit me that we didn’t give her my Thanksgiving gift. I really owned her for inviting us and getting her a gift might get her to like me a bit more. I do have a crush on her. Anyway, I looked through my bookbag and checked if I had brought it. I couldn’t find anything so I excused myself and called my mom on my phone.

“Hey mom, did a package come in the mail yet?” I asked.

“Nope, nothing came, why you ask?”

“Well,” I looked behind me and lowered my tone. I wanted the gift to be a surprise so I had to.

“I wanted to give Jenny something but I don’t have it in my bag so I might need to check my amazon if any of my stuff came.”

“Ok, but while we’re at the topic, did you remember your ornament? You know how it can get itchy-”

“BYE, Mom.” I said hanging up on the phone. If you’re wonder, NO, I will NOT tell you where the ornament goes.

Anyway, I go back into the room I see they changed the channel to the Thanksgiving Adventures of Rania Lords marathon. Not surprising, they love that show sooo much but It’s really not the kind of show I would watch. It could be like Degrassi and that show isn’t realistic anymore.

“Hey, Jenny, can I borrow your laptop? I nee to check my Amazon.” I asked.

“Fine but if anything happens to it or you don’t return, you’ll won’t see the light of day.” she said. She’s always saying stuff like that whenever I borrow her stuff and only me. Maybe she might be flirting with me. You never know.

I go downstairs and log into my Amazon and check. It said I haven’t checked out any of my christmas stuff.

UH-OH! UH-OH! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!!! MY STUFF HASN’T BEEN ORDER!!! CALL THE POLICE OR THE ARMY! IF THEY DON’T ANSWER CALL THE NAVY!!! IF THEY DON’T ANSWER THEN PANIC! PANIC LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW!!

After I was done with my panicking, I try thinking of an idea but all I was thinking was:

“RAINA! How COULD you!!”

“It was for the better Arnold. IF I didn’t do it, your twin would of have his way.”

“What twin?!”

DRAMATIC HIGH PITCHED PIANO MUSIC!!!

“You’re evil twin, remember?”

“I don’t, I can only remember you because of the amnisia”

GASP,DRAMATIC HIGH PITCHED PIANO MUSIC in DUN DUN DUN TONE!!!

Mostly that. I grab a cup of a cold lemonade slushie from the fridge. Mel’s Lemonade Slushies always calms Rania’s-, I mean my nerves. That’s when I got the horrific idea! I would buy all my stuff at Target in the eastfield mall but I would need some help. I went upstairs and asked.

“Hey Danny, do you think you can help me get some christmas stuff for black friday?” I asked.

“But I’m going to miss the new episode TAORL! I need to find out what happened to Arnold!!!” he replied.

“Don’t worry Danny, the new episode is premiering at 9:15, you’ll be able to watch it in time.”

“FINE!!! But I’m leaving at 8:45 when we get there.” he said.

“Ok, and Thanks Danny.” I said, honestly.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. We better get back in time or in time not to miss something.” He said, grouchy. Looks like someone’s a grouchy today.

8:22 PM-

The mall was completely packed!! Like an ocean of people and it was to glob-beaverdam hard to get through it. Once we got to Target there seem to be not a lot of people in the store and around it. That should've been a sign to get the FLOCK out of there! But I didn’t really think that much about it. Anyway, we went inside and got a cart but some guy told us to go to a certain area of the store. He looked like he might work at the store. We go to the place and there were 18 people and 2 people for every cart there,which was really weird. What was weirder was that both Danny and my old friends were at the store right next to us.

“Robbie?” I asked.

“Dan?” He questioned.

“Danny?” Blake asked.

“Blake?” Danny questioned.

“Danny!” Blake said.

“Dan!” Robbie said.

“Robbie!” I said.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you guys doing here-, wait, are you guys friends?” We all said.

“Yeah, we’re friends or governors as we like to call ourselves.” I said.

“We’re friends too but we call ourselves fellas.” Robbie said.

“Which is used in, ‘Howdy, fellas’ right?” Danny said.

“And your’s is used in ‘Ello, governor’ right?”Blake asked.

“Yeppers.”

“Weird.” we all said. It felt we were meeting a different version of ourselves. One big cluster flock.

“TO YOUR SATIONS!!” The ref said. We get to our places and we just go at the back since we didn’t know where we’re suppose to be but l least we were near our new governors.

“Hey, why are you guys here?” I asked.

“The Target Shop-a-thon, why you asked?”

“Uh-oh.”

“You guys didn’t know?”

“NO!”

“Well, you’re flocked.”

Uh-oh! UH-OH!! ANOTHER RED ALERT!! Panic more! PANIC MORE!!!!

“Welcome people, to the 4th annual, Target Shop-a-thon!! We don’t have a lot of people which was 80 people but after the incident, no one wants to come.” the Target Manger said.

WHAT INCIDENT!!!

“Anyway, thank you for coming and I can’t wait to see who won. Your first challenge if to get all the stuff you need for your black friday needs and the minimum is 20 things. You must finish in the next 15 minutes. The second challenge will be getting a Lemonade slushie, Gardorade, and a Blizzard with oreos. On your marks...get set...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” We all spread around the Target getting all the stuff we wanted. I got almost all the stuff I needed I had only a few things to get left to get and I’ll be done and with 6 minutes to spare. We run towards the christmas ilie to get on last christmas thing I needed. We grab the last mini-santa which was something Drake wanted too.

“YOU LICH!!!!” he yelled and then started chasing us. We went faster and tried losing

“UH-OH! We got to go to the arts and crafts section!” I yelled to Danny but Drake heard us because he speed ups and takes a shortcut to the place. Shouldn’t of said that. He comes right in front of us and tries to ram us with his cart. Danny jumps up on our cart and jumps to Drake’s cart. Drake stops and Danny lands on a skateboard and rides it to the red and green construction paper we needed. Then slides right in between Drake and the wall and signals me to get the flock out of there. We made it to the checkout just in time. After the first five groups come (including us), he says that everyone else is out.

“You five pairs must use these golf carts to find a Lemonade slushie, Gardorade, and a Blizzard with oreos all from the same store. It’s 8:46 you have until 9:00 to find the things. GOOOOO.” we get on our carts and try to find a place that would have all of them but we couldn’t find any. That’s when I remember something some at this smoothie shack had told me which was that they were doing something for Target today.

“Danny! We’ve got to get to the food court where that smoothie stand.” I said.

“But that’s all the way across the mall!” Danny said.

“It’s 8:49, do you really want to miss the new episode of The Adventures of Rania Lords? You’ll won’t be able to know what happened to Jake.”

“NOT JAKE!!!” he yelled, kicking the cart into high speed and riding all the way down there but Drake caught a glimpse of us and started chasing us. Danny speeds up more, going faster and faster but wait, Drake has a nerf gun that fires marbles! He starts shooting but Danny swurves back and forth to avoid any accidents or to be on time for watch The Adventures of Rania Lords; you never know with Danny. He calls in our fella’s and they come just in time. They try distracting Drake  but he’s still following us. He comes closer and closer to the fella’s and they come close until we’re really close together. Then there’s a mini train in our way. It would of been too late to slam on the brakes so Danny goes into the nearest shop, so does the fella’s. Drake almost crashes into the train. We get out of the store and speed all down the hall but Drake was able to get near us and started shooting.

“DANNY!! SLOW DOWN! HE’S ON OUR TAIL!!!! I DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT!!!!”

“YES WE CAN, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THERE!! WHAT TIME IS IT?”

“8:53!” I screamed, he speeds and more and we start going faster and faster but we get shot in the back trunk, almost having all our stuff leaked out. I go up to the back, trying to keep out stuff from leading and try to take control of the cart at the sametime.

“DANNY!!! STOP THE FLOCKING CAR!!!!”

“NO CAN DO!!!” he said, pushing the only foot I had on the wheel.

“DANNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYY!”

We go all the way up to the fast it can go, then Danny talks in his walkie talkie and tells them to get Drake to crash. The fellas swave back and forth and so do us. Danny speeds fast enough to get a distance between Drake, then Danny stops and so does the fella’s. I duck and hold my head wish I won’t be killed. Danny backs up the cart to the side in just enough time for Drake to put on the breaks and crash. Danny speeds all the way toward the stand and then hits the brakes. He stops just in enough time  not to crash.

“An Oreo Blizzard, Gatorade and a lemonade slushie.” I asked.

Once we were done Danny calls our Target and tells them that we had gotten all the things we needed and said to give the fellas the stuff they wanted or else. They happily agree.

We went back home and were able to get back to watch TAORL. I’m a bit interested now. And I also gave Jenny my gift and she actually hugged me for a long time. I can’t believe it! See you later governors.


Thanks for all of you who joined in on the block! Thank you from Me, Kevin Bloo. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
