十五: The Search For Pudding

Hong Kong tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for Samantha to come out of the 7-11. He had been waiting right outside the convenience store for 10 minutes straight.

"Why is she taking so long?" he muttered to himself.

Finally, he decided to check on her. He stepped into the shop casually, scanning around for the girl. It wasn't hard to notice her, as she was pacing around the store frantically.

He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around in alarm, then relaxed when she saw that it was just him.

"Hey, what's going on? You said that it'll be quick," Loung complained in a low voice so that he wouldn't attract attention.

"I saw the sign near the door that said that there was pudding here, and I wanted to eat it, but I can't find it!" Samantha replied, "I checked everywhere!"

"You sure about that?"

"Yes! I triple-checked every shelf and every freezer!" she exclaimed confidently.

"Are you actually sure?" Loung questioned her, giving her a straight face.

"Yep."

He sighed, then turned to the freezer behind him. He pulled out a small container, which was containing what Samantha was looking for. He held it up.

"What's this, then?"

The girl's jaw dropped, leaving her mouth hanging open. "How did you--where--what--I checked there!" she exclaimed.

"Did you?" Hong Kong teased.

"I did!" she grumbled. "Just gimme that." She grabbed the container of pudding from his hand, then made her way over to the cashier.

"You were looking too hard," he mumbled, following her over as she exited the convenience store.

"You bet I was. I really wanted to eat pudding today," Samantha muttered, peeling off the cover and shoving tiny spoonfuls of pudding into her mouth. She licked her lips, savoring the taste. "I haven't eaten this for ages."

Hong Kong chuckled. "I can tell."
