This little thing literally came about because of a discussion at Thanksgiving. So you can thank my rather amusing younger cousins for this. Also I sort of just wanted to write these two doing normal, silly things. Like grocery shopping. Which I can never do without pressing my face against the frozen desserts-which causes whoever has come with me to pull me away as I make kicked puppy noises. It's probably hella amusing to watch.

#9-Food For Thought

"Mmmm…The color looks off to me. Like-are they supposed to be that color?"

"I can assure you, Vivio, that this the color this vegetable is supposed to be."

"Oh," A pause, "I just always sort of figured that eggplants were, you know, egg colored? So I always figured that they were white."

Einhart had to suppress a giggle at her girlfriend, "No, I'm afraid that it's purple."

"Then it should be called like-like-Plumplant or something!" Vivio huffed, glaring at the offending vegetable in her hands ."They just do this to make people who don't do the shopping all that often feel bad!"

Einhart plucked the eggplant from Vivio's hands and placed it in their cart, "Yes well, that's why I came along. I'm rather surprised Nanoha-san didn't bring you to get groceries when you were younger. I would have figured you would have done some shopping." She mused as the took one of Vivio's hand to tug her down the aisle to find the rest of their groceries.

Vivio frowned, "Well, I wasn't really a fan of people when I was really young, and we lived on a military base-so we didn't really ever need to leave base to get anything! And since Nanoha-mama only started teaching part time she always went shopping while I was in class. And I'm terrible in the kitchen-I cut myself on everything so I rarely get to help out in there."

Einhart shook her head, "That's simply incredible. What would your teammates say? The great Vivio Takamachi, humbled by kitchen utensils."

Vivio grinned at that, leaning into her girlfriend, "As long as they keep thinking the sweets Nanoha-mama sends us are made by me, they don't need to know a thing. Ignorance is bliss, after all." She bumped Einhart's shoulder and the older girl laughed.

"Well, let's hope they never send you anywhere without rations then. I'd hate for you to starve because you haven't learned what an eggplant looks like, or how to handle a knife."

"Hey!" Vivio attempted to tug her girlfriend back by the hand, but Einhart stood completely rooted to the floor, and Vivio only flushed, "No fair. You can't do any of your dumb judo stuff when I'm trying to get back at you."

Einhart cocked an eyebrow, "Really? I think it's perfectly fair to use what I learn on the job to keep you from spilling all our groceries," as Vivio's eyes darted away she smiled, "Besides that-you have so many things to tease me about. I'm going to bring this up years from now."

"Ugh…I knew all my teasing was going to come back and haunt me sometime." Vivio grumbled, watching as Einhart took some milk from the refrigerated wall, "Oh well. It could be worse. At least I know the difference between grapes and grapefruit!"

Dedicated to my younger cousin who really had no clue that grapefruit and grapes were different things. Bless his heart. Also poking fun at my younger self because 6 year old Kona looked at Eggplant and felt very betrayed by the English language on a whole because it neither looked like a egg nor a plant. Simply awful. In any case-I'm just revived stories let and right it seems! Who woulda thunk it? Reviews are lovely, of course. Now I should go finish that final paper...
