Chapter 26

'Of course our system is going through ANOTHER update- what in the fuck, is 'our system connected to a convenience store cash register. What type of discount baby toy computer of a system do we have! A touchscreen refrigerator is more reliable then this-'

Alex started cursing out through their mental connection as they walked through the crowd with the groceries in hand, his face neutral but his inner thought process was still mad.

Alexa had to stifle a giggle at her counterparts temper, not that she could blame him. She would have been the one reacting like this if he didn't do so first, so she got a front row seat in how ridiculous he was acting.

She rolled her eyes playfully as she shoulder checked him gently 'Okaay~ that's enough venting bro. It's not that deep' she snickered as the bags of groceries she was carrying swayed from her hands.

'But Alexaaaa! This stupid system of ours isnt even functioning properly. We were given a bootleg of a bootleg!' he whined as his posture slumped as he walked

She audibly sighed, shaking her head 'Just be thankful we even GOT a system, or else we'd be raw doggin this world without any advantages. And we only barely know the common sense around these parts' she mentioned, now being the mature one in this situation-

Alex kept silent for a few moments before he sighed aswell, fixing up his posture and standing up straight. 'Yeah your right girl...better to have something rather then nothing I guess'

'Pat pat pat, Good boy! I would be head patting you for real if my hands weren't full so settle with my words of endearment and appreciation~'

'Awww I love you suger cube~' Alex stated affectionately as he gave her a warm smile, a blush rising up from his neck to his face. A southern accent being accompanied with his words

Another thing of sending messages through their minds is that they can imagine any voice that they can send their thoughts too one another.

Alexa grinned as she too blushed with glee 'I love me too honey bun!' 'Hey!' 'What?! I basically said the same thing! Your me and I'm you!' 'No I'm me! Your you-' 'Thats what I sai-"

Their back and forth banter that they've come to love so much has led them to their downfall as someone bumped into them by accident making Alex drop the bag of produce and food on the ground

It was a person in hooded cloak, a bit taller then the two of them by a few inches at most

"Oof- Sorry mate!"

The person (now obviously a girl from her voice) piped up an apology, Alex still didn't get a clear look of her face though from under the hood.

"Ah it's no prob-" Alex was about to say it was no big deal, the politeness he's learned to have over the years to come out and rear it's head to strangers. Was rudely interrupted!

"Sorry dude, I'm in a hurry-" the girl said with sorry tone as she scurried off and dissapearing into the crowd.

Alex sighed as Alexa glared at the direction the girl went "Well that was a bitch move, didn't even bother to help!" She frowned as she sat down the bags she was carrying and helped Alex pick up the stuff.

"Ah don't bother wasting your breath" Alex said waving off the matter flippantly "It is what it is" he said with a shrug.

"Still! She had plenty of space to avoid knocking your shit over- like damn man. You weigh the same as paper or something?" She said, deciding to forget the matter and tease him instead

Alex gave her a scrunched up look as he held an apple in hand "Okay wow shortstuff, low blow girl...low blow"

Alexa snorted "If I gave you a low blow I'd hit your face" she said with a smirk, flicking his forehead with a giggle. Alex rolled his eyes and poked her on the nose.

After gathering all of the groceries they got up and dusted off their knees as Alex patted himself down"Alright time to go back home-..." Alex's face suddenly went tight

"What?"

"The bag is gone"

"What? We have the bags right here" Alexa dumbly stated the obvious as she even swung the bag of groceries a bit.

Alex got the sudden urge to slap her stupidly beautiful face "The coin bag dipshit" "Ohhhh-" "Yeah OoOh what an appropriate reaction" He said mocking her.

"Don't sass me! I ain't the one who lost the literal thousands of dollars worth of gold" "I didn't lose anything, it got stolen you quiche-" "Stolen by who!"

"THE GIRL WHO BUMPED INTO ME YOU FUCK-"

??? POV

"AAHAHA SUCKERS!" I cackle as I weighed the bag of coins in my hand, feeling out how deliciously heavy it was.

I hid in an alleyway near the main path of the market that led into a dead end, happy with the score I got from those weird looking lil brats, why were they even outside on their own?

"They were cute though" I hummed in thought as I open the money bag, 'now let see how much goodies they brought along' I felt my eyes bulge out as I witness the gold galore of happiness inside the bag.

"WHAT THE- *cough* I mean what the fuck" I almost lost my cool for a second there, Gods- this was enough money to rent a 5 star inn for a few days! Hehe I'm going to fucking stuff myself with food tonight~

I salivate at the thought before I snapped out of my stupor. 'If I managed to keep this a secret from the other pickies...this shit is all mine to spend'

I quickly closed and stuffed the bag into my cloak, wincing at how much noise the bag of coins made as I move.

*Clink Clink Clonk*

"Okay time to bug off-"

"Well well well... If it isn't Lil Kat, or should I call you Katarina~"

'FUCK'
