The drive there was fun, John was in charge of music so you can just imagine Tyler's face when John, Jaren, and I started screaming the lyrics to the songs John played. Tyler parked in the Walmart parking lot and we started getting out. Jaren opened his door then let me out on his side, I gave him a thank you and walked to everyone.
"Ok, so we can either do I get the fireworks and all of you go get the groceries or we split up." Tyler says putting the keys in his pocket.
"Well do you have a list of what we need or a budget or something?" I ask.
"No, we got that youtube money baby! We can get whatever we want." Tyler answers.
"Correction, you got the youtube money, I have a bunch of demonetized videos." John says and we all start laughing.
"So what's happening?" Mini asks.
"I'll get groceries." Me, John, and Smitt all say at the same time. We look at each other then laugh.
"But you three," Tyler points to us, "need adult supervision." All three of us groan.
"No we don't, we'll be fine." I say, John, Jaren, and I then turned around and spotted a shopping cart. Mind you we were still in front of everyone
"Guys, go in the shopping cart and I'll push you around." John says. Me and Jaren turn to each other and start giggling. John grabs the cart to hold it steady as me and Jaren climb in. It was a tight fit but we figured it out with Jaren sitting back, me in between his legs, and my back against his chest. Then John starts pushing us around the parking lot, first going at a fast walk, then starting to run. Everyone in the group was laughing and recording our childish antics.
"Are you guys ready?" John asks, a devilish smirk on his face.
"For what?" Jaren asks through laughs. But me and Jaren didn't need to wonder anymore because with one big push John was no longer holding onto the cart. Jaren has one arm holding the rim of the cart and the other wrapped around me as we both laugh. John, along with everyone else, is on our side running next to us in case we hit something we get closer towards the store and are about to hit the curb when Tyler grabs the cart to stop us.
"Yeah you guys totally don't need adult supervision." He says laughing, "Now get out." He says. I try getting out but since they're wasn't much room I couldn't get up. I turn to Jaren and he shrugs his shoulders.
"There's a slight problem... I can't get up." I say giving an awkward smile. John snickers before coming to help. Tyler held the front of the cart and Mini held the handles so that we have balance. John picks me up and out of the cart while Scotty, Chrissy, and Anthony are recording the whole ordeal and laughing. I plant my feet on the ground giggling and Jaren climbs out of the cart.
"So I'll go with them to the store. While you guys get the fireworks." Anthony says holding his vlogging camera he's been recording us with. We all agree on that so we all headed inside the Walmart. John, Smii7y, Anthony, and I head to the grocery section while the rest of the group walks to wherever Tyler is going to get the fireworks.
"So Tyler said we can get anything. So we need drinks and snacks." I said turning to the boys.
"Ok, that's what we need. Now what do we want?" Jaren responds.
"A girlfriend." John replies. I laugh and Jaren just gasps putting a hand to his chest in a offended manner.
"But John, what about us?" Jaren asks which causes me and Anthony to laugh more.
"I'm sorry baby, but it feels like we've grown apart." John grabs Jaren's other hand and turns away. Anthony is still recording while we're both giggling.
"How are y'all growing apart when you're sharing a bed for two weeks?" I ask kind of loudly earning us looks from the people in the Walmart. This caused Jaren to break out of character and laugh which caused John to laugh too.
"Come on guys as much as I love the content we have to get some stuff." Anthony said leading the way to the snacks. We grabbed the essentials chips, sodas, alcohol and put them all in a cart that Anthony was rolling around. Then we started walking towards where they keep the toys. Now since me and John like to wander around John was on my left and Jaren on my right as we led Anthony, who was recording, through the store. John then went back to talk to Anthony for a bit. As we're walking through the store I see a brunette woman around our age staring at Jaren. She was gorgeous. As we continue to walk she starts making her way towards us, tugging the collar of her shirt down a bit in the process. I see that and I don't know why but I grabbed Jaren's hand. I feel him stiffen in shock then he looks down at me with a blush on his face. I look up at him with a smile and he smiles back giving my hand a squeeze. Although my actions didn't stop the girl.
"Hi." She says as she stops next to us looking right at Jaren. We stop and look at her.
"Hi?" Jaren responds.
"Sorry. I just thought you were really cute and I wanted to come over here to talk to you." She replies while playing with a strand of her hair.
"Oh, well, thanks." Then Jaren starts walking away while still holding my hand. We get a few steps in before she grabs his other hand, yanking him back.
"Don't you want my number or anything?" She asks. Jaren holds up our interlocked hands.
"No, I'm not interested." He then walks away and the boys follow. But not before John says,
"Pull your shirt up please, there are children here." I let out a giggle as I see her shocked face and she grabs her shirt and pulls up the collar. We walk in silence for a bit, Jaren still holding my hand, but then John runs in front of us turning into the isle that has the bikes. Me and Jaren look at each other and then run towards John, our hands no longer interlocked. Anthony is by our side still recording, I feel bad for the amount of footage he has to watch through when he's editing. Then we see John, he's on a Disney princess tricycle holding a pool noodle. He giggles as he starts riding towards us slowly. I can't help but laugh at John and then I see another princess tricycle.
"Jaren go get on your bike." I say pointing towards it. Jaren doesn't protest and makes his way to the small pink tricycle with a huge smile. As Jaren is getting situated John is still making his way towards me. Anthony is laughing next to me when John finally reaches us.
"Like my ride?" He asks wiggling his eyebrows. I laugh and so does John. But he leaned back too far when he laughed, so he ended up falling with the tricycle. Anthony started laughing more and I leaned on him for support as I continued to laugh. I see Jaren roll up with a pool noodle and he starts whacking John with it. John started hitting him back from the floor and we all continue laughing. It got to the point where one of the employees told us we were causing a bunch of ruckus and needed to stop. We all did until they walked away and made a turn. Then I grabbed a pool noodle, whacked John and Jaren, yeeted the pool noodle, then ran away. I heard the boys whine and start running trying to find me. I stood in an isle next to a bunch of board games and saw Anthony and Jaren run past me, Anthony still rolling the cart which caused them to make a lot of noise. I giggled to myself before I feel two arms wrap around my waist and pick me up.
"I got her!" John yells running towards them, me still in his arms as I laugh uncontrollably.
"Put her in the cart so she can't run." Anthony responds. I see the boys moving stuff around and then they put me in the cart.
"Now I have one less child to worry about." Anthony says as he makes sure we have everything we need. We start moving again and we pass by some stuffed animals.
"Mom, can I have one?" I direct my words towards Anthony as I reach my hand over the cart to try and reach the cute (F/A) plushie, but we passed too fast.
"One what?" He asks.
"The stuffed animal. Look go back."
"No." Anthony says. I pout but then get hit in the face by a pillow or something. We all start laughing and then I see it's the stuffed animal I was just reaching out for. I look at Jaren who had thrown it at me and he looks elsewhere. I hug it next to me and we continue going around the store grabbing random toys and snacks. By the time we were done it was 2 pm, we had a cart full of stuff, and everyone was already at the car.
"Anthony, the reason I had you supervise them was so that they wouldn't get distracted so easily." Tyler says laughing as he sees John with one of those Fourth of July headbands, Smii7y waving a small American flag, Anthony with a cowboy hat we put on him, and me holding my stuffed animal to my chest whilst sitting crisscross in the cart.
"Well when you see John on a tiny tricycle it's pretty easy to get distracted." He retaliated.
"How much money did you guys spend?" Mini asked.
"Too much." Anthony said.
"I told Jaren not to get the flag, you know, cause he's Canadian." I pointed out.
"I'm just trying to be festive." Jaren replies sticking his tongue out at me, I saw this and did it in return. Then Jaren helped me out of the cart and we all put stuff into the trunks of the cars so we can get back to Tyler's faster.
