"Yeah… Yeah…." They got to the grocery store, and Tobias grabbed a cart. "Remember, no putting things in the cart that I don't approve of. Because I have the whole list up in here–" He tapped his head, and they went inside with Rio.

"Uh huh…" Rio tried not to stare too much as they walked through the superstore, "Like I'd even know what you do want…"
"I more meant putting stuff in there that you wanted for yourself or Firiko…" Tobias went along, picking out produce and stuff. "…Maybe like just throwing a fish filet or something in there…"
"I don't think I'd even be able to recognize fish right now…."
"Well, that's alright…" Tobias went on through the aisles, weaving through and picking up all this food and such– including three large boxes of uncooked rice. "I mean… Do you want anything?"
"Kid I already told you" said Rio, "I don't even know what half this stuff is. And while I usually eat various forms of seafood… I will honestly eat anything…"
"Alright…"
The two of them went through the grocery store relatively quick, and they got to the checkout line. Their cart was a little over half full, and they were up next in no time.
The girl began scanning their stuff, and Tobias kept smiling at her.
"….You're Megan's brother, aren't you?"
He nodded.
She glared at Rio, forcing a slight grin. "And who's this?"
"I'm Rio," he said sheepishly, "A friend from out of town"
(Lol this gonna get awkward…)
"A friend, huh?…." She muttered.
"Yeah," Tobias nodded.
"Well…." She raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "I'm surprised she has any time anymore to date a guy…."
"Woah!" Said Rio, "There is nothing like that!" he blushed helplessly, I don't even like girls!
"Yeah, yeah, whatever…. That's what they all say…" She gave Rio a long glare and bit her lip hotly before returning to work.
Tobias smiled sheepishly. "M-Megan isn't dating anyone right now."
"Is that so….?" She muttered.
"Can we get out of here? Please?" whispered Rio to Tobias, his voice low so the cashier wouldn't hear.
"We can when she's done…." He uttered back to him.
"Er… Yeah," Tobias said to her.
"Alright then…."
They paid with Megan's card and was handed the receipt. When they were on their way out, Tobias had a look at the receipt, and down near the bottom…. "Here… Look at this."
It was that girl's phone number.
"What is it?" asked Rio, puzzled by the numbers..
"Well…." He said, taking the bags on his arms. "That's that girl's phone number. It…." He tried so hard not to laugh out loud. Oh boy… "It– It means that she's interested in you."
"Uh huh…" Said Rio, "right… Uhm… I don't think her efforts are going anywhere…."
"Oh well…. She tried…. And it's not like you're gonna come back anyways." They finally got back home that afternoon, and Tobias came through the door. "You won't believe what happened…." He piled the groceries on the table, meeting Megan in the kitchen.
Rio walked in, "So uneventful day Firiko?" he asked the feathered warrior,
"Extremely uneventful" replied Firiko not taking his face out of the couch.
Megan glanced up. "What?" She glared at Tobias.
"You know that cashier that always checks out our groceries….?"
"…Yeah….?" She muttered, sipping some water.
He smiled a little. "…She thought you and Rio were dating!"
She spat out her water all over the counter. "What!?" She barked, a tad flustered.
"No offense but I have no interest in girls alright!" said Rio even more flustered than her.
Megan wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "…She was always a moron…." She growled, rubbing at her head. "….And she doesn't even know who you are, so like she'd have any idea… People can be to dumb these days…"
Tobias fell into an awkward silence as he began putting food away. …Just saying…
"What I wouldn't give for some action……" said Firiko still face first in the couch.
"We get it Firiko." said Rio exasperated, "Your bor-" he trailed off, "Uhm….. would you mind not wishing for action next time…." he said staring at the shield Skye had erected, which was now pulsing, bathing the room in violet light.
Megan cleaned the water she "spilled" and went up to her office to do some stuff.
Tobias finished putting stuff away and meandered down into the basement. …It might've been nice to get a new ball… He bit his lip, sitting down in the chair across from the TV. ….It doesn't really make much sense… If they wanted to get back, then why didn't they do so? The girl matters, but we can't have them here for too long….
Skye's shield collapsed, and he got to his feet, watching the girl. the girl suddenly gasped, when she had gotten her bearings she looked at skye, after a few moments she nodded and and sat down quietly.
"Hey Skye, What's up?" Asked Rio
"Not much, But we still need to find a way home." Replied Skye. "And doing that requires going back to that lair."
(So I'm trying to do stuff with this in the way of getting things moving along, and the first step is getting my guys back to that lair. But going back to the lair they'll need someone who understands technology, Megan is a bit too busy, and she won't let Tobias out on the streets like that. Also we need some action here, so do you have a character that would be a friend of Megan's who could randomly visit the house unannounced?)
(I'm trying…. Maybe I could. Hang on a sec…. Maybe I can get a neighbor in here… It took longer than I anticipated to get that girl under control…)
Tobias was fluffing around with stuff downstairs when he heard a harsh knock on the front door. Megan's busy, so I'll get it.
He wandered upstairs and peeked through the peephole to see their next door neighbor standing on the doorstep.
Tobias opened up the door. "Oh hi Liam!"
"Hey, Tobias–" He meandered inside, cut off by the sight of Rio, Firiko (unsure where he is), Skye and the girl all in the living room. "I see she has company…." He uttered under his breath.
