Silver Moon (A GameGrumps fanfiction) chapter 10

To start the search or the wolfsbane, Jon recommended they go to the local Walmart. The four piled into Jon’s car in the driveway, “Arin, you and Dan sit in the back, Ross and I will get the front.” Jon directed. Arin entered the same door as Danny, climbing over him; Danny hissed under his breath.
“Hey, don’t give me that.” Arin growled; Danny rolled his eyes. They all buckled up, and Jon started the car, and pulled back quickly, jerking the passengers back.

“Whoa, Jon. Calm down.” Ross said holding his neck. “I’m just trying to get to Walmart, quickly!” Jon excused; he pulled out of the driveway. Danny flinched as the sun hit his face. He pulled his hood down further. Arin chuckled at Danny’s actions, and tightened his seatbelt. This earned a glare from Danny, and an agitated huff.
They started down the road, and made quick turns; Jon broke the speed limit more than once, “Jon! Slow down, or we’ll get in trouble, then our mission will be in rubble!” Ross scolded.

“I want to save Arin, Ross!” Jon shot back. Ross had this weird smile on his face, and then began to giggle softly.

Jon looked over at Ross with a look of confusion, “What’s so funny about that?” He grumbled.
“I rhymed.” Ross laughed.

“What do you mean?” Arin growled.

“I mean… trouble and rubble rhymes.” Ross giggled.

“Ross! Stop being so freaking proud of yourself, and shut up! Every time you open your mouth the IQ of the whole car goes down by 10!” Danny scolded.

Ross bit his lip to contain his giggle fit, and then turned around, facing the front, and watching the opposing cars go by.

Danny rolled his eyes, and then sat there, anxiously tapping his foot. The seconds turned into minutes, and the minutes would eventually turn into hours. Arin sat in his seat tiredly, his head rested in his palms. After a while, he noticed that his current position was uncomfortable, so he tried leaning against the car window. That was just as uncomfortable; then his eyes scanned over to Danny, who was just staring out his window, lost in thought.

“Dan?” Arin whispered.

“What?” Danny muttered.

“….Can I rest my head on your shoulder?” Arin asked, avoiding eye contact.

Danny paused, and then gave Arin a weird look, “Uhh…” He hummed awkwardly then looked down at his pale hands, “I…Guess?”

Arin didn’t hesitate before leaning his head on Dan’s shoulder tiredly. Danny didn’t mind, but enjoyed the warmth Arin provided. Ever since the vampire incident, he’s forgotten what warmth felt like. He forgot how calming it was. In return, he leaned his head against Arin’s. Ross happened to look back at them, and then did a quick double take with a girlish giggle.

“What?” Danny asked, about fed up with Ross already.

“You’re cuddling, and it’s cute.” Ross replied happily, rubbing his neck.

“We’re not cuddling, Arin’s just leaning his head on my shoulder.” Danny defended.

“I’m glad to see you guys are finally getting along.” Ross laughed.

“Yah, whatever… Just don’t get too close to us. You still have the cross on.” Arin muttered.  

By the time they got to Walmart, Jon struggled to find a parking spot. He circled the lanes about 3 times, before Dan piped up, “Jon, just park up there.” He hissed.

“That’s handicap parking!” Jon shot back.

“Who cares?” Ross replied.

Arin shifted, and groaned tiredly, nuzzling against Danny.

Danny cringed, “Arin… You’re creeping me out, dude.” He stated; but nuzzled Arin back, anyway in a playful manner.

Jon shrugged, “I’ll just let you guys off at the entrance, and I’ll find you when I find a parking spot!” Jon huffed, driving back around, and stopping at the store entrance doors. Ross unbuckled, and opened the car doors, stepping out, “Hey Dan, are you and the sleepy puppy dog going to help me find the wolfsbane?” Ross called back into the car.

Arin shifted tiredly, “NNnnn…” He groaned.

“Come on, Arin…” Danny said, unbuckling him and Arin, and then opening the car doors. Arin was dragged a little bit, but eventually stood up and joined Ross and Danny at the doors, closing the car door behind him. Jon went to go find a parking spot, while Ross and the others walked inside Walmart.
“Do we need a shopping buggy?” Arin asked.
“We’re just getting wolfsbane.” Danny replied.

“I want a rotisserie chicken.” Arin muttered tiredly, rubbing his eyes.

“Well… that can be your ‘back-to-human’ gift, once we get the freaking wolfsbane.” Danny huffed; adjusting his sunglasses, and tugging Arin along with him and Ross.
Many people gave Arin and Danny strange looks, but the two just shook it off.
Ross on the other hand, was just wandering throughout the isles as if he was in la-la-land, and made a bee line to the plant isle.

“Hey Ross, remember when I said I hated taking you shopping?” Danny asked.
“Yeah!” Ross chirped.
“Well this is why.” Danny muttered.  
“What’s why?” Ross looked back at Danny as they approached the green-house door.
“You go everywhere except where we need to be!” Danny pushed Ross ahead.

Ross walked into the green-house tent right next to the plant seeds.

An employee walked by, and Danny stopped her, “Excuse me miss, do you have any wolfsbane here?” Danny asked, trying to not let his fangs show.

The lady looked at Danny a bit frightened, “Um… yes; right next to the tropical plant display, to the right of the venus flytraps.” She directed.

“Thank you.” Danny hissed.

The lady gave him a weird look, and went back to her station.

The three rushed over to find the venus flytraps, and once they did, Ross immediately got distracted.
Danny kept proceeding to find the wolfsbane, but Ross was interested in the venus flytraps. “Guys; what if I stuck my finger in it?”

“Go ahead Ross, let’s see what happens.” Arin replied sarcastically.

Danny walked over to the tropical plant exhibit, and around that area, he searched for the wolfsbane, but couldn’t find any.

“Guys, I can’t find the wolfsbane.” Danny called over to Arin and Ross, who had lost interest in the venus flytraps and were focusing on a pitcher plant.

Ross left the plant, and walked over to where Danny was, “Uhh… did you look over here?” He asked, scanning over the plant labels.
“Yah.” Danny replied.

Ross looked some more, then froze.

Arin walked over to them, looking at the two, “Did you find it?”  He asked.

Ross looked at Arin, and then shook his head sadly, pointing to a section that had no display.

Arin read the label under the section:

‘Wolfsbane plant is currently out of stock. Sorry for the inconvenience.’
