62 The Very Firs

|First Pov Theodore|

Once my clone had finished with the interview I didn't immediately make it disappear but had it go grocery shopping. It didn't have my wallet which in the past would be a problem but now I just have to put my debit card in the inventory and have my clone take it out.

It's even better when there's a clone at home so I can just put my shopping in the inventory and have the clone that's shopping disappear.

Currently, we are at a pretty big car dealership called Vroom. It's currently the biggest car dealership in the world as it was the very first dealership that started selling green energy vehicles.

When we stepped inside a young lady in a typical office uniform escorted us around after telling her that I was looking for an SUV and a motorcycle with a sidecar.

I'm no car fanatic so I just rely on the escort to tell me the statistics with Sophie giving a brief explanation on anything I don't understand.

Rose was in my arms with almost dozing off as we walkthrough while icy was left outside with another clone.

Mary and Sophie by my side providing me with their own opinions.

As we continue to walk around the tired Rose shot up and pointed towards a soft orchid purple Rolls-Royce Bullet.

Honestly, it had a nice look to it but the colour was too showy for me. Looking down at those excited eyes I couldn't say no, I mean colour doesn't matter that much.

Our saleswomen was quick to introduce all the basics then started talking about all the hidden features "This is the very first car to run sufficiently without the use of charging docks. This is thanks to NASA's newly invented Solar Sheets which can absorb ten times more energy and is so thin that its practically invisible. . . . . ."

She rambled on and on until finale she told us the price $294,000.

I choke and then say to my very excited little girl "Maybe next time this one is too much"

"Too much, no buy?" Asked Rose

"Yes too much let's continue to look, sorry but do you have a car half the price with the same colour and similar specs," I said while rubbing Rose's head

Sophie quickly stepped in and said "Can we take a look at the Mazda CX-90"

"Of course," said the sales lady

We were then escorted to an assortment of Mazda CX-90Z varying in colours. Rose was quick to point out the one that was orchid purple.

It was basically the same car with a different style and without the Solar Sheet which did mean that I had to go to a charging doc and buy a home version.

Sophie reminded me that I know America's greatest mechanic and car customised so anything I need to add can be done at Davids.

I let Sophie drive while I had Rose on my lap in the back with Mary riding shotgun.

Resting my chin on Rose's head I ask "What do think?"

"*Sniff Very amazing," Said Rose while looking around the car

"Hahaha, I'll ask Uncle David to add a T.V and some other stuff to keep you entertained when we go on long trips. You know what this means we can visit Grandpa and Grandma a lot more" I said

"Rose twisted her body around and looked at me and said "Visit Grandpa and Grandma lots"

I give her peck on the head and say "Of course and well go see Baby Chloe at Aunt Sophie's house"

"Yay~" Shouted Rose while rubbing her head into my chest

We went to the mall and got to shopping. We stopped by at a charity shop and dropped Rose's toys off with some of our old clothes and shoes.

I also donated $3,000 which was originally for the car but we got a good deal so I put it to a good cause. I still have a lot of money.

Sophie and Mary then took us cloth shopping. Rose was smiling constantly throughout with Mary and Sophie pulling out a new top, dress, shoes and coats one after the other.

I sent a clone to get some clothes for myself while I give the same opinion over and over again "Amazing, so pretty, Rose looks great in anything"

My brain is numb from the repetitive look of shock, clap in aw and smile while nodding. I've essentially become a robot that builds confidence.

After an hour of the same thing, we finally made it to the cashier where I was told the whole thing was $189.99.

My clothes alone didn't even add up 50 dollars yet Rose's clothes reached three digits. I look towards Sophie and Mary to see what happens but they just replied by pulling out their own debit card.

'Not again' Is the thought that came to mind knowing that some 'friendly' competition was about to happen.

"Mary allow me, after all, it was me who picked out the $40 shoes," Said Sophie while shaping her card on the counter.

"Yes but the coat I picked out was $50 so allow me," Said Mary while putting her card down

The cashier guy gave me a look that shouts "Fuck you"

I reply with a shoulder shrug causing the cashier guy to sigh painfully.

Mary and Sophie continue to list off thing they picked out before Rose pulled my pant leg and said "I'm hungry"

"Sophie, Mary just split it will ya Rose is hungry and thanks by the way," I said

"Fine" They simultaneously

We then go to McDonald's and order Rose's first-ever happy meal which came with a toy and orange juice. I bought myself two large big mac meals with some salad and Coke.

Sophie and Mary both had a Strawberry Banana Smoothie and a Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad.

We found a seat near the windows and then put Rose first ever Happy Meal in front of her.

The happy meal theme currently is a kids cartoon that Rose has been following religiously called "What's That, What's This?"

A nice kids show that's meant to bring out the curiosity side of children and then explain what it is. Rose has learnt a lot from it. I think there were variations of this in my old world but I can't really remember.

Rose's face was full of joy as she said "Dad, Dad!! look its What's That, What's This?"

She spun the box around looking at like it was a treasure.

"That's right, here look" I then open it and pull out a toy figurine of a sky blue rabbit that's pointing with a question mark above its head.

Rose jaw dropped as she said in awe "Wow its Topper Rabbit"

I then pull out her cheeseburger with fries "and this is lunch"

Rose didn't seem to hear me as she put her chin on the table and just stared at Topper with her eyes twinkling.

I poke her forehead and say "eat first then play with TipTing"

"Okay," She said biting into her burger while still staring at Topper excitedly.
