With a laugh, America held up her hands, "Okay, okay...no Smilies here!" The store was brightly lit, pristine, and full of garish sales signs. Grabbing a cart America immediately makes a beeline for the summer toys section, straight to the inflatable crocodiles and flamingos. "Well, we gotta have one of these," She decided, reaching for a croc.

Shun looked around idly as they walked on through the store. "I do not think a cart is necessary, really," he commented as he followed her to the summer toys. He eyed the inflatable crocodile and just raised his brow at her. "That is even worse than tossing around pillows. So. No."There were several inflatable beachballs. Well that was better, but still too lofty.

"Grabbing a shopping cart is keeping yourself open to possibilities," she lectured. There was a definite, unmistakable pout sent the man's way, but America did set the inflatable croc back. "What aboooout," she held up a frisbee in one hand, "oooor..." she picked up a toy boat in the other. "Oh look!" Setting them in the cart before he could answer, America grabbed up some foam pirate swords.

The frisbee was acceptable, but the toy boat... Shun picked that up and put that back in place. "Keep in mind that we are throwing things. Preferably multiple things. We are not having a ******** pool party."He rubbed his head, then moved on down the isle. There was a rack full of bags of miscellaneous things. With a tilt of his head, he looked them over. One of them appeared to be a bag of water balloons. Quietly, he picked it up and examined it, thinking.

He'd hear her pouty, scrunch-faced echo of his words behind him. Huffing like a thwarted child, America crossed her arms and scanned the aisle, giving everything fun looking an unamused Shun-face. Until she saw what the Actual Shun was holding. Zooming into his space, America bumped his shoulder in a friendly atta boy. "I knew you were secretly fun!"

"...Fun?"Shun tilted his head. He did not understand how this made him fun. "This just seems like a relatively logical choice. They are meant for throwing, it is cheap, and we can have a lot of ammunition to fling at one another."It was going to need a lot of prep-work though. He kind of dreaded filling all these things and lugging them to the park. Especially when he didn't have a car. There was no way he'd tote buckets of water balloons on a motorcycle. Unless there was a nearby facility they could use to fill them up instead. "Now we just need to figure out a way to get these all filled near the park so we are not carrying a ******** of waterballoons through town."

"Okay so maybe the fun is like on of the inner layers of your onion," America reasoned. "Your Funyun." The girl preened, feeling ridiculously proud of such a terrible joke. Rocking back on her heels, America gave a thoughtful hum. "Could fill them up at Darlene's if that's close enough." Still a good few blocks away, but nothing she couldn't handle. "Or...oh!" Her eyes widened as she snapped her fingers, "Restrooms! I haven't looked through the whole place, but maybe there's some facilities. It's that kinda town and all." Aka: a nice one.

And for that terrible joke, America got a flat stare from Shun. This lingered for several seconds before he moved back to the topic at hand. "Either of those will do. If there is a good clearing near a restroom, that would work great. Now... we will need several buckets as well. How many do you have?"He only had one personally. He never really needed more than one bucket until now.

Reaching past him, the girl plucked up a little pump that advertised Fill and Tie in Seconds!!!!!! "Let's get a couple ******** kiddie pools, instead." America was beaming at Shun with an ominously cheerful determination. Go hard or go home Officer Unsmiley.

Shun eyed the pump, then raised his brow at America. "Do you really want to carry a kiddy pool full water balloons?" he deadpanned. The buckets were for transporting, as far as he was concerned. And carrying or dragging around a kiddy pool seemed... like a not very good idea. To him at least. Granted the on site washrooms would alleviate that somewhat, but he was looking at a potential worse case scenario where they'd need to move these things several blocks.

"Yes." Grabbing up a box with cartoon ponies and castles and the word pool on it, America firmly placed it in the cart. To be fair, she'd been meaning to get one for the coming months anyway. "Muscle up, buttercup. Just think of it as a big bucket." Worst case scenario: she'd find a way to borrow a truck for the day from the garage.

"...Alright. If you say so." he mumbled, twitching lightly at 'buttercup'. Shun looked over the contents of the cart, thinking over if they were missing anything. "I believe we have everything we need, then. Aside from deciding on a day and time."

Stretching her arms above her head, America nodded and then considered the question, "Maybe next....Tuesday good for you? I can wiggle my schedule at work some, folks are pretty nice about trading shifts. Oh, one minute!" Pausing for a moment, she ran off toward the beauty section of the store. Before he reached the cashier she was back, tossing a box of condoms, baby oil, cranberry juice, and a red white and blue bag of skittles in the cart. "There."

Before Shun could confirm or deny that time, America had blazed on off to another part of the store. He shook his head and started to head for the register, pausing when he saw what she was buying. He couldn't help but raise a brow at the condoms and baby oil, but he didn't comment on them. It wasn't any of his business. "...Anyway. Assuming I do not get caught up with work, Tuesday is fine once my shift ends."

She winked at the raised brow and paid for the swimming pool and her extras, leaving the rest for him to pay for. "I'll get started fillin' the ******** while you're at work then. Better not blame being tired for losing to me." Just because it was training didn't mean she wasn't gonna win.
