Chapter 29 - Target Fiasco [REWRITTEN]

Edit: You know the drill. Rewritten. Not needed any editing.

After we are finished with our food, I get a call from Renée.

"Hey, Renée! What's up?"

Darnolds face went red at the saying of her name.

"Hey! Can you stop by a Target or something on the way back and pick up some pads? I'm. . .on my monthly"

I make a confused look and say,

"What is a monthly?"

All I can hear is her laughing on the other end.

"I'll tell you later"

I laugh nervously and say,

"Well, I'll ask an employee if they have them"

She laughs again and hangs up.

I put the phone down and say,

"How did everyone like McDonalds for their first time?"

Everyone yells in excitement and happiness as they all shout good things about the food.

"Renée will be more than happy to hear that"

I make sure everyone has their seat belts on, and I drive to the nearest store.

I park and turn off the car.

"Alright, everyone out!"

The sounds of belts clicking and doors closing filled the air as the wind around us swirled cold.

I got shivers and put my hands along my arms to warm myself.

"Phew! It's cold out here!"

Bubby looks back at me from where he is standing and slows down to where he is walking with me.

He takes off his lab coat and says,

"Here. You need this more than me"

I smile as I take the lab coat and put it on. I grab the sides of the coat and pull them together over my chest and embrace the warmth.

"Thanks, Bubby. You know you didn't have to do that"

I say, looking down.

He puts a hand on my shoulder, making me bring my head up to meet him in the eyes, and said,

"No, I still feel bad about how I treated you in Black Mesa. I honestly was wrong and I want to make it up to you"

I smile.

"It's honestly okay, Bubby. I forgive you"

He smiles at me and says,

"Thanks, Gabby"

He puts an arm around me and brings me closer to him. I blush and look up at him.

"I'll warm you up"

He says, rubbing my arm through his coat.

I smile and say,

"Thanks, Bubby"

He continues to hold me as we walk into the Target.

The warm air slapped me in the face as we walked through the doors. Bubby takes his arm off of my shoulder and I start to take the lab coat off. Bubby sees this and stops me.

"No, keep it on for when we leave. You can give it back at the house"

I smile again and thank him.
