"Um..." Carrie says, bringing her right hand to her massive chin and drumming her fingers along the side in thought, "I'll take... a pearl necklace, some gold bracelets, and.... a ribbon for my hair. A big red ribbon."
"That's it?" Johns asks, his eyes wide. "I thought we were getting, you know, OUTFITS. Clothing to wear."
"We're cartoon animals now, Johnny Boy. Why do we need clothes? Besides, wouldn't you much rather see me naked?" She turns around and presses up against him, lightly drawing circles on his chest with her right index finger.
Instantly, the pupils of his eyes become red and heart-shaped, and a wide smile curls up on his lips. "Well.... gosh.... when you put it that way......" Several hearts materialize above his head and float up ever so slightly before popping like bubbles.
"And I think you look positively great as is. Well, maybe if we got a necktie..." She looks up into his eyes and pouts her lips exaggeratedly, and for a quick moment almost loses her composure. He looks so silly with that dopey smile and those lovey-dove eyes.
"Whatever you say, darling......" John continues in his cartoonish love-induced trance.
"Well, here are your items," the clerk says, handing Carrie the necklace, the ribbon, the bracelets, and one enormous necktie that looks to be almost four feet long.
"Thank you, miss," Carrie says as she takes the items and carefully slips on the pearls and then squeezes her hands through the bracelets. Surprisingly, they don't snap. She lifts the bow to her hair and simply places it on. It stays secure, not needing any tying or fastening of any kind. "John..."
"Yes, dear... you look wonderful dear..."
"John."
"I love the way your skin glistens in the light... the way your butt jiggles when you..."
"John! Snap out of it. I need you to put on this tie."
"Huh?" John shakes his head a few times, which is coupled with a rattling sound. "Oh, sorry, dear. Sorry. Did I say anything stupid?"
"No, you just complimented my butt. Put the tie on." She hands him the tie, a blank white tie. He looks at it strangely before placing it over his neck. To his surprise, it ties itself and then proceeds to become bright orange with red stars.
"Wow. Wish my ties back home could do that," he blinks his eyes a few times before adjusting it. "So... how do we look?"
"We look like big fat, ridiculous cartoon animals. I love it!"
"And on that note, I am [b]starving[/b]." John adds. "Whaddaya say we do the 'big fat cartoon animal' thing and shovel exorbitant amounts of food into our mouths?"
"Wanna make it interesting?" Carrie asks, a sly look spreading across her face as she bats her eyelids rapidly. Even though she didn't put on any makeup, her eyelids have a purplish sheen to them and her eyelashes are long to the point of being ludicrous.
"Interesting how?"
"I bet you.... oh.... a foot massage that I can eat more than you."
"Oh, you are SO on." John nods his head exaggeratedly. "I see a burger joint down the street. Race ya!" And at that, he squeezes his way out the door and bolts down the street with surprising speed and a puff of smoke behind him. The ground noticeably shakes with each thunderous step he takes.
"Hey! Wait! No fair!" Carrie calls after him, squeezing herself out the door as well and running after him.
