"Mia stop mucking around and hold the trolly properly!"Anne snaps just as mia slides through the door targeting at the wall. BANG! "or you're not going to hold it at all" Anne retorted as she turns to Jessica. "get me the veggies and fruits please Jessica!" But Jessica was on her own agenda"ooh! just what we need for dessert," Jessica says as she grabs a bunch of royal icing and candy. She even picks out a giant lollipop that we can't even afford. " I think I said veggies" Anne corrects her slowly with her eyes squinting. Jessica picks out a veggie packet with an eye roll. "then only one" she says jumping off the silver and red trolly with a single bag of veggie in her hand. I know we were acting bratty and all but just because mom and dad aren't here doesn't mean Anne's the boss besides we've had veggies for a month now. The longer mom and dad aren't here the longer we'll be living a nightmare. We are living alone now since we have not found them in a long time. Anne thinks she is the oldest (though she is) but we are septuplets which means we're all 10 years old not just Anne. "no Jessica you have to get 3 more!" Anne shouts. Jessica flops down but then she has an evil grin. "ok" she says as sweetly as she could. Britney starts grinning too and so does Bella and Rihanna and Cheyanne. It was only Amy and Matilda that looked confused. They were going to spill it but they waited until the last moment
Together they place the veggie-full bag on the-rolling-thingy-next-to-the-counter. As the veggies slam on the 'rolly' The counter guy looks at us firmly and we smile confidently. "I'm sorry where are you kids parents" We all stare at each other with 'quickly THINK OF SOMETHING!!' faces. So Bella opens her mouth to speak "um, you see my dad is in France and my mom is at the..... doctor place!" Matilda finishes lamely. He raises an eyebrow "But you kids shouldn't be alone should you?" he looks concerned "well the doctor place is just right next to here!" she almost shouts really loudly. He nods slowly and checks the computer screen while typing rapidly. "that will be 29 dollars ninety-nine" he says. Anne's eyes grew huge and her pupils shrunk. She had forgotten about the payment. "uh.... um...can we take 2 packets out..." she stutters. "sure" he replies taking 2 packets and shoving it in a bin looking thing. Rihanna bursts into happiness "no more veggies for a week!!" she says doing a little victory dance. Everyone joins her except Anne.
