[RACHEL02189]

Around noon my father asked me if I wanted to go with him and Criss to the store. "Why not"I remarked. "Why don't you go next door and tell Criss we're ready to leave for the market" My father replied. I put my sandels and my sunglasses on and went next door. I knocked on the door but nobody answered, so I tried the door and it was unlocked. "Hey Criss we're ready to go" I called out as I came in. "Be right there Racheal"he replied. I just stood there as Criss came out in some nice demin short and a tank top. "Better grab a hat the sun is blazen hot"I stated. "Good idea" as he grabbed one. "Criss can I say one thing before we leave". "What's that?"he asked. "I know you're the Mindfreak but I swear I won't tell anyone since you're here to relax"I replied. "That's kind of you Racheal I don't think anyone would do that for me"he stated.

I smiled as we left. At the market my father gave me half the list as he took the other half. I grabbed a cart. "Criss why don't you follow my daughter around so you don't get lost in this place". "All right"he replied and we left. "Let's see Criss I need to grab some strawberries, some white bread, and apples"I remarked. "Lead the way" and we went to the produce. "So you know my secret does anyone else know?" as he looked at some Mangos. "My sister but I blackmailed her into keeping her silence and as you can tell my parents don't know you" I replied putting some apples into a bag. "I kind of like this place nobody has asked for an autograph since we walked in" as Criss put some Kiwis into the cart. "What do you expect Criss the only famous person that lives here is an ex-president who doesn't come into town alot" I replied. "Oh yea The Bushes" Criss remarked. "You need anything else in this section?" I asked. "Next asile please" and we kept on going. As we went long Criss and I just talked. "So how long have you been a fan of my work?"he asked. "Three years going on four in August I came close to see your broadway show once"I replied looking at the ingredients of some cereals but putting it back .

"Why didn't you?" as he put a bag of toostie roll pops in the cart. "Had an accident that put me in the hospital for most of the summer and by the time my injuries healed you closed the show to work on MindFreak"I replied grabbing a bag of nuts. "That's stinks"Criss said. "Well I did get to go to New York it was kind of fun to see some of the sites"I remarked as we stopped to look at the magazines. "What are you looking for Racheal?"he inquired. "A book I finished the one I was reading when I got up here" as I looked at some of them. "Here we go this sound interesting" showing Criss. "Critical by Robin Cook". "Not a big reader Criss" I joked. "I'm surprise I still have time to read the paper with my schedule" he replied looking through a heavy metal magazine with the band Korn on the cover. "Well since you're on vacation buy one and start reading it" I suggested. "Why not" and he looked at some of the paper backs that the store has. "Here we go this looks good". "The taking of Pelham 123 isn't that a movie" I asked. "Yea but it's based on a book"Criss replied.

"I see Racheal has rubbed off on you Criss" my father stated coming down the aisle. "I thought I'd read something than the paper since I'm here"Criss joked. After we paid for our groccies we went back home where I saw my sister pulling in a fish. "One to zero Rachael you better get your pole in" My sister called out. "What does that mean?" Criss asked. "Racheal and her sister have a compention on who can catch the most fish before the vacations over"my father remarked. "Maybe if you want to Criss I'll teach you how to fish"I said. "I may take you up on that offer well thanks for the trip I'll see you later" and Criss took his groccies into the cabin. After I helped my father put the groccies away I put on my suit and a shirt to protect my back of course. I came out and I turned my head and saw Criss in the hammock with the book he bought and reading it. I smiled as I went over to my sister. "I still don't know what you see in that guy"my sister remarked as I sat on the dock. "Why should you care the guy you're not dating is a biker who should be in jail" as I threw my hook in the lake.
