A pack of their own

DUTCH: Monday is my girl’s birthday, I am starting to feel like Trever, when it come to this Pack. Well, I can honestly say that this will be the last time the girls get ignored on any occasion, especially their birthdays. We are heading into the human town to go birthday shopping, I have something very special in mind for her, I just have to find it, otherwise I will have it custom made for her. But I hope I can find what I want, I don’t want to, not have something concrete for her on her birthday. I don’t think I would be
able to survive the look of disappointment in her eyes if I didn’t have something for her.
MACKIE: When we got to the mall we headed over to the electronic store first, I checked out the newest and latest tech toys, let me be clear, not the computers, but the toys, robotics, drones and things of that nature, the chip component I was wanting would be a bit more of something like those not the computers, although I could make some of them work as well I would just have to do a bit more work to get the right configuration and modification. When we go to the computer store, I will ask if they have any old laptops, they might want to get rid of. I know why not use the one I got, because it is going to Kes, it will be the perfect thing to get her more confrontable with using computers. I just have to shake my head at her sometimes. I find the things I want, and we head over to the computer store. I brows the laptops, and I point out three, that way they have a few to choose from. I ask the salesperson about old laptops; they tell me that they have a few. “I will take the worst one you have.” “It barely comes on.” They say. “It’s ok, I plan on tearing it apart.” “It will be $20.00” I pay them and take my old laptop. “Babe, come with me.” Dutch says. and he pulls me away from Kes and Trever. Holding my hand, he guides me into a jewelry store. “Dutch what are you doing?” “I want to get you something special.” He leads me over to where the charm necklaces are. “I want you to pick a chain, and a charm, or two.” He tells me. “Dutch these are too expensive.” I say to him. “Nothing is too expensive for my girl.” He says to me. I am not going to argue with him, I know very little about jewelry, but I know that those flat type chains kink to easy, and I don’t want that, I am not fond of those square type chains either. I find a chain that I like, its links, like small ovals, but they are more substantial, thicker, heavier than the other chains that they have. Then I see the wolf head charm in the case, I point at it, and there was a stylized D that also caught my eye, and I pointed at it as well. Dutch called the salesperson over, the girl just staired at him, she was practically drooling. “How may I help you?” she asked rather breathlessly “Do you have these in platinum?” He asked her. As he was pointing to the items, I pointed out to him, and not at her. “I am unsure, I will have to ask my manager if they come in platinum.” She said. “Well please go ask.” He said, finally looking up. “Oh my, has anyone ever told you, that you have beautiful eyes?” She said. I was livid, goddess I wanted to scratch her eyes out. “Excuse me?” Dutch says, “I am here to perches a birthday gift for my girlfriend, not find one. Please get your manager.” I could tell he was not happy either. I step closer to him and place my hand on his arm to help clam him, but I honestly wanted to do bodily harm to her myself. She looked at me as I stepped up to him.” “Girlfriends can change.” She said. I smiled tightly “I believe he asked you to get your manager, please do so, or I will make you wish that we never walked into this store.” I said to her. Still, she stood there, staring at Dutch. So, I raised my voice. “Hello! I would like to speak with a manager please!” I called out verry loudly. Gaining the stares from the other patrons in the store. I even went over to stand in front of one of their security cameras as I said it. I waited a few minutes, and I did it again. “I am a manager; how may I help you?” A middle–aged gentleman approached me. “Well for starters, you can discipline your employee, over there flirting with my boyfriend, we came in here to perches a birthday gift forme, he wants to know if what I want comes in platinum, and she shamelessly started to flirt with him, saying that girlfriends can change, now I know that is true, but that she is deliberately trying to steal someone else’s boyfriend doesn’t bode well for your store, especially if it gets out that she is doing it.” I say to the manager.
DUTCH: I am so pissed right now I want to rip that girl’s head off. But I know I can’t, we are in the human town, not ours. If I knew that I could get what Mackie wanted somewhere else I would leave in a heartbeat, we still just may, if they don’t carry what she picked out in platinum. I step away from the counter so that I am nowhere near the salesgirl. I look over and see Mackie speaking with a middle–aged gentleman, and I go over to her. “I am very sorry for the misunderstanding miss.” He says to her. “Misunderstanding? No, there was no misunderstanding, I asked if your store carried a few items in platinum, she said she was unsure and would have to ask, so I asked her to please do so, and she shamelessly hit on me, right in front of my girlfriend. I do not appreciate it. So now, will you please tell me if you carry the wolf head, the stylized D., and the chain in platinum, if you don’t we are leaving, and I will be sure to inform everyone I know not to come to this store unless they want to get laid.” I said. “Please show me the exact pieces you are interested in.” He says to me.
