Noodle Pack 8: We need more Noodle Packs.

[derp_detective]

[Gumshoe is pushing a shopping cart through the aisle of the general store, slowly scanning the shelves for various items. His ever faithful friend and pet, Missile, rides in the basket of the cart, occasionally shifting or moving to be more comfortable, but mostly sniffs the items Gumshoe occasionally puts into the cart.]

"Let's see... We need some breakfast cereal... At least, I think we do. I don't remember the kids making toast or bagels or something. Maybe I should have made a list or asked them, huh, Missile?"

[At the question, the dog simply cocks his head to one side, as if unsure on how to answer him. Gumshoe sighs and goes back to haphazardly shopping.]

"Well, hopefully I'll get most of the essentials for the week at least. Worse comes to worse, we'll just need to make another trip."

[Kay in turn doesn't notice Missile noticing her, so this might go on for a bit, with Kay putting items into the cart and the dog putting them back. Sad that the canine might be the smartest one of the three.]

[Missile is starting to think of it as a game and is pretty much eagerly awaiting for the next addition by Kay in the basket, tail wagging all the while. Gumshoe merely thinks the police dog is having fun shopping.]

[Eventually, Kay notices that the cart isn't really filling up. She also forgets that she's trying to be sneaky, at least long enough to say this next thing out loud.]

Hey! Where'd all my snacks go?

[Gumshoe stops and notices Kay finally, while Missile just stares at the two with bright eyes and tail wagging.]

"Oh, hey there Kay! Are you shopping too? Did you misplace your grocery basket of snacks?"

[Time to just play it off!]

I can't decide what to buy.

[Idly scratching Missile under the chin.]

[Gumshoe gives a slight shrug as if to say he's in the same boat.]

"Yeah, it's usually better to have a list ready for these things. At least if you're getting food for more than just yourself anyways."

Winry does most of the cooking at our place, so I wouldn't really know.

[Kay smiles as she keeps petting Missile.]

"So you're just shopping for yourself today? You know you shouldn't do so on an empty stomach? Harder to resist impulse buying they say."

It's okay, I make a lot of spare money at the cosplay cafe.

"Oh right, your part time job... Guess it's treating you fairly well there then, huh? No problems or anything?"

Just guys staring at the short skirt, but that's kind of half the point, you know?

"I....guess? Though if you guys ever get into some trouble, don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I might not be part of the law here, but that doesn't mean I can't still act like it."

Of course! If anybody tries anything funny, I'll let you know.
