Quo walked into the Grocery Store, running his hand through his blue hair. he'd been glad to get away from the house for a little while, and even more glad to get away for something he wanted to do. He'd been needing groceries for a while now, to make some of his dinners for the family. He cooked in the house, being the best chief, and his brothers had stopped teasing him for it after his oldest had found a girl that thought it was pretty cool. He'd even started helping a little.
Quo rolled his eyes at the memory, taking a basket and slowly walking down the aisles, avoiding eye contact with anyone. He took a few things off the shelves from his list, but then noticed a few things that were his little sister's favorite snacks. He reached up to grab the box of Scooby Doo gummy snacks. His sister was 13, but she still acted like a little child. He didn't pay attention to his footing and accidentally knocked over boxes of treats from the bottom shelf. "Shoot." He quickly tossed the box of gummies in the basket as he bent down to pick up what he'd knocked over, sighing at his clumsiness.

Riley entered the grocery store quickly, hoping not to meet any other people. She was a very shy girl who would rather head to the library afterward to check out some more books. "Please, Riley?" she remembered MahKenzai talking her into buying the groceries for the week, and Riley had to say yes to her older sister. MahKenzai's puppy-pout always got Riley to get the groceries. She had regretted not asking Guinevere or Phillip to get the groceries instead.
She held the list in her hand, then read the first one. "Cereal." she remembered that Izzy and Phillip had a little fight over who got the toy in the cereal box. They were both fourteen, but...very immature. The two had eaten the newly-bought cereal box in one day. As Riley walked through the aisles, she noticed somebody was picking up snacks that had been knocked over. "Should I help him?" Riley asked herself.
Slowly, she approached the boy and knelt down. "Do you need help?" she asked nervously, picking up a couple of the treats that have fallen down and placing them on the bottom shelf.

Qup almost jumped whenever someone bent down and asked if he needed help. He looked over at the girl, noticing she'd already started picking up the fallen boxes. "Uh..sure, thanks." He picked up the rest of the boxes. "I can get clumsy sometimes when I don't pay attention. Thanks again for helping." He flashed a small, polite smile and nodded his head. He hesitated, then held his hand out. "I'm Quo." He ran his other hand through his blue hair again, knowing it was probably a mess at the moment.

"Um...your welcome." Riley nodded nervously. She smiled sheepishly and shook his hand. "I'm Riley Campbell...well, Riley Itami Campbell." she scanned her eyes around the store, and took another look at her list, wondering if she should just leave to get the rest of the groceries. "I still need cereal, milk, orange juice, bread, and eggs and I could leave for home.." she reminded herself.

Quo smiled lightly, he didn't think he'd ever had someone tell him their full name on a second sentence. "Quo Icashi Z. Nice to meet you Riley Itami Campbell." He laughed lightly, glancing at her list. "So were you chucked into grocery duty, or did you decide to slip by?" He smirked lightly, knowing her answer was probably the first. Not many people liked grocery shopping like he did. But he went grocery shopping, he got to choose what the family had for dinner.

Riley smiled slightly. "N-n-nice to meet you too, Quo." Riley told him. "Um...well...it's not like I don't like grocery shopping or anything...it's just that my sister was supposed to grocery shop this week, but she used her pout." Riley frowned. "I-I-I wanted to go to the library, to check out some more books...but..."

Quo tilted his head as she tried explaining. He smiled lightly, she reminded him of his sister, Annie, who was as shy as anything. "Well I could help you if you want to get out of here faster. I'm grocery shopping for dinner tonight so I'll probably be all over the place." He laughed lightly. "I'm a very exotic chef at times."

"You would?" Riley asked, a little bit surprised. "Yes, but I don't want to waste your time or anything.." she smiled brightly. "You're a chef? T-t-that's really cool," she told Quo with a small, shy smile.

Quo smiled lightly and nodded. "I don't mind at all. I'd probably rather be at the library then here if I were you too. My sister Annie is the same way." He laughed lightly and nodded. "So I've been told by a few other people. Thank you." He turned back to his cart. "So what do you need on your list?"

"T-t-thank you," Riley said with a smile. "Well, it's not that much. Eggs, bread, milk, orange-juice, and cereal." she laughed lightly. "My brothers had a cereal-eating competition." Riley added.

Quo nodded again. "No problem. All those items are close in the same area... except bread and cereal." He stopped and looked at her. "A cereal eating competition? Come on make it worth wild, like a hot dog or popcorn or something." He laughed lightly, taking down a box of cereal from the end of the aisle, remembering that there were two types he had to get, so he pulled a different one from he top, careful not to knock anything over this time.

"Thank you, again." Riley nodded. "Y-yes, a cereal eating competition, kind of. Phillip and Izzy were both looking for the cereal prize...and held a contest to see who would eat the most bowls first." Riley laughed lightly. "They found out...the prize was only given if you sent in twenty cereal boxtops."

Quo smiled as he listened to her story of her brothers. He laughed, shaking his head. "Sounds like something my cousin and my brother would do and they're 18 & 19 years old." He shook his head. "IO think once we hit 13, we go backwards on the growing chart." He snickered, pointing to the left. "Next aisle is bread."

Riley laughed lightly. "I agree," she nodded when he said that he thinks once they reach thirteen, they go backwards. "How old are you?" Riley asked curiously, going to the next aisle to get the bread.

Quo waited for her, smiling lightly. "Turned 16 on February Second. What about you?" He quickly grabbed some noodles from the end of the aisle, probably making spaghetti tonight so he could make it quick before Natashia had to leave for whatever silliness she was doing with her friends. "I'm proud to say I haven't gone backwards yet." He chuckled softly.
