Fish shopping (for dial_a_psychic)

All in all, going to Santa Barbara is probably the wisest decision he's made in some time. Things seem so much wetter and greyer in Chicago. Ren's not a sun worshiper by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, he made sure to put plenty of sun protection cream on before leaving the hotel room today, but there's no doubt that a little sunlight does

The constant ring from his cell phone wakes him up from a pleasant dream involving bunnies, hoola hoops and the cute new popcorn sales girl at the cinema. Lazily answering his phone, it takes him almost 10 minutes of assuring his Dad he has nothing to do with the sudden disappearance of his chainsaw before he realises he´s almost late for his fishing shooping appointment.

Somehow Shawn manages to make it in time. Gus should be proud. He even sends him a text just to show off that sometimes he can be in time for appointments. Just after reading the unimpressed response from his best friend, and almost a block away from the shop, he spots Ren waiting outside the petsore. Supressing a yawn and fixing his sunglases, he raises his arm for Ren to notice him.

"Yo, Mountie man!"

He turns around at the cry, almost fairly certain that whoever is shouting means him. The second he spots Shawn he breaks out into a wide smile, waving back at him as he approaches.

"Shawn! Hi!" He waits for the other man to draw level with him before speaking again. "Are you ready to get your new pets?"

Bouncing a little on the balls of his feet, he has to tell himself to tone it down. He can't help being excited.

Feeling Ren´s excitment becomes contagious and soon he´s bouncing at the thought of having a new pet. It may not be something cuddly like a cat, but it´s enough to bright his day.

"Man, this is such a great idea! I haven´t got a pet in years!"

Patting his shoulder he rushes them into the store.

It's easy to get distracted in the store, with all the colorful toys and beds and food and -oh! Clothes for cats! Cat would look so cute in a little tutu.

He has to work hard not to let himself get waylaid by the animals in their enclosures, just waiting for someone to come along and love them. Pointing them towards the fish section, he tries to steer them that way.

"What pets have you had before, Shawn?"
