It was early evening, a perfect hour for the Templeton family to do their usual grocery shopping. Janice was looking at some healthy alternatives to replace Tim's usually unhealthy eating choices.

Tim: "You said if I ate all my veggies for a week, I could have the most sugary cereal." He crosses his arms looking defiant.

Ted: "Your mother did say that, but you need to make better eating choices, Timbo."

Janice: "Your father is right. You reward yourself as it is by eating good foods." She holds up an alternative to his usual favorite Pop Tarts. "Eh, eh?"

Tim: Pouts

Ted: "If it bothers you that much, son. Why not pick a healthy alternative that you'll actually eat."

Tim: Lights up at the idea, slipping into Tim-Time. "I'm an alien, visiting this planet in which you call Earth, to find a healthy alternative." Disappearing down the aisle.

Janice: "Aaand... we lost him."

Ted: Sighs rubbing his face.

Theodore: Coos in the cart as he spots some baby formula.

Janice: "At least someone knows good choices." She eyes the formula, clearly lost in the flavor choices.

A couple aisles away.

Tim: "Looking for healthier alternatives. Pssh. Over.." Side walks down the aisle, scanning shelves feverishly as he holds a banana like a finder device.

A worker had mopped an area on the floor nearby.

Tim: "I know you're around here someWHERAAAH!" Slips on the wet spot and lands face first into the tiles, whimpering with fresh tears in his eyes as he realizes his nose was bleeding.

His parents and baby brother didn't hear a thing, they were busy arguing over who checked to find Tim.

Janice: "I need to finish this list!"

Ted: "He should have been back by now!"

Theodore: Pretending to be a baby and completely oblivious to the conversation whispered so his parents didn't hear. "That's strange.. Usually he'd ask for my advice."

Janice: "He slipped into Tim-Time, Ted. You know how he is!"

Ted: "I'm gonna look for him." Starts to head the way Tim had left.

Tim: Still laying on the floor shaking with barely any suppressed sobs.
