Agent Texas

You know you don't have to get them anything, right? And if you do, keep it small.

What did your family do for Kwanza?

From:

but i wanna get them stuff! we're bros now. and i already have an idea!

it's real fun! we do a bunch of music and dancing and we light a kinaras and my grandma tells a bunch of stories --sometimes in swahili so i don't really understand-- and at the end we eat a bunch of food!

From:

I'm sure they'll like it. [ They better. Or she's having some words with the Churches. ]

You have anyone to celebrate it with here? You could tell everyone the stories you remember and the music can't be that hard to find online.

From:

i dunnoooooo i don't think i know any other black folks here 8( [she hasn't even seen tucker or maine out of armour yet!]

plus we're supposed to play the music with drums and stuff and it was always grandma who told stories and i don't know how to make any of the food. it wouldn't be the same

From:

I'm not a black folk and you're right it won't be the same, but that doesn't mean we can't try. [ Do Tucker and Maine celebrate Kwanza? Hell if she knows, she didn't pay that much attention. ]

You can invite some friends over for it and we can make the food and find drums for the music. What do you say?

From:

You got it, Less Mean Tex!

I'm ready to go to the store whenever!

From:

...Just tell me where to pick you up and keep your money safe.

From:

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

yeah okay! i guess it doesn't have to be /exactly/ the same

From:

hey space lady

thanks did you know you're the best?

From:

So I've heard.

When Kwanza start?

From:

26th! day after christmas

From:

I'll keep that in mind. I'm recruiting help from a member of Blue Team, since you are a part of it.

From:

[Tex has to get the location of Caboose's house out of Freckles, but at least it's there. And when she arrives he's clutching his envelope of cash and waiting for her by the front door, bouncing on the balls of his feet. He's going to get both Churches the best rings ever, and then they'll both be happy and love Caboose So Much, and then be okay with each other and be okay with Tex and then everyone will want to live together again.

Heck. Caboose might be so happy about it, he may even get Tucker something for when he comes back. Maybe he'll even get stuff for Grif and the other Reds, for when they show up!]

Hello Tex! Man, it is really great to see you! Thank you for helping me even though you must be soooo jealous.

From:

[ Why is she doing this again?

Oh right, he's paying her. There's a long sigh as she makes her way towards Caboose's location. This is going to be a long trip if he has plans to get presents for every damn person he knows. Maybe she can steer him towards the cheaper selection of things to save more of that money for herself.

She doesn't bother waving when Caboose greets her, she simply motions for him to follow. Her words are flat as she replies. ]

Yeah. I'm soooo jealous, I can't believe you're getting all your friends presents except me.

From:

then it's definitely gonna be awesome!

tell them thank you for me!

From:

I'll let you handle that yourself.

You know Wash, right?

[ Because the guy could use a little cheer in his life. Not that she'll ever tell him that. ]

From:

walla walla! course i know him, he's one of the blue team leaders!!

he's helping!? imma go say thanks RIGHT NOWWWW

From:

So he says.

Send him my regards and keep me posted on what you want to do for Kwanza. I'll do some reading of my own.

From:

will do! thank you again. i'll make sure i get you the vest christmas present ever!

From:

Looking forward to it, kid.

From:

Tex, ch. [verbal eyerolling here, trotting along just behind her] I can't go shopping for your present where you can see. I will have to do it when you're gone, obviously. [since when did you have the spine to sass agent texas you stupid little blueberry]

From:

Are you going to have any money left to get me something once I leave? [ Because trust her, the sass is going to cost him extra in the end. She'll be keeping tally of time spent on this excursion and the amount of hassle it is. ]

From:

Probably not! [Leash this kid's spending habits so you can get some of that cash, Tex. Lead him over to the discount shelves.

Getting to the mall isn't the difficult part, but getting Caboose to pay attention to one thing long enough to decide if he wants to buy it is a whole other matter. There are so many bright lights and colors and sounds and smells that he's practically vibrating, running from one sign to another, and then a goddamn mini train toots by outside of the store they're currently in and he almost loses his mind.]

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD TEX IT'S A SMALL TRAIN, IT'S A TRAIN, I WILL BUY THAT TRAIN FOR ME
