Ikea would be their tomb.
Maya took in the surroundings for the umpteenth time, sighing softly.
"What now?" Lucas glanced up from the nightstand.
"We're lost." She grumbled.
"We're not, see the exit is just...just..." He turned around a couple times.
"Are we going to die here?" Maya gasped, hand to her brow, "surviving on meatballs?"
"Stop being so dramatic."
Maya pointed to another nightstand. "Ooh look! Cowboy themed!"
Lucas surveyed the piece of furniture, for five year olds. "Yeah, that isn't going in our dorm."
"What about the cow lamp?" She picked it up, almost dropping it in her wide sweeping motion as she shoved it in his face.
He groaned, and walked away.
Maya pouted, trailing after him. "Why did we even come here? We're lost," she repeated.
"Hush, this is perfect!" She looked at the lamp and cocked her head.
"Woah Ranger Rick, you have a sense of style after all."
"Seriously? Six years and that's the one that sticks?" He handed her the lamp as he went to look at yet another nightstand.
"Would you rather Bucky McBoing Boing?" She asked dryly.
"Ranger Rick is fine." He answered hastily.
"Why do we need another nightstand?" Maya looked critically at a desk chair.
"Because you broke the other one."
"I did not! That was all you!" She protested.
"Was not!" He winced as the memory hit. "Oh, yeah that was me."
"Mmhmm." She grabbed his hand. "Can we go?"
"Maya, we came for furniture, not one lamp."
"If we don't leave, we're going to be forever lost in here. Ikea will be our tomb!"
"You and the dramatics. Fine, let's go. I'll ask Riley to come next time."
"Smart boy." She patted his back. "The Matthew's invited us for dinner by the way."
"Am I getting the protective father speech again?" He grumbled lightly as they wandered around.
"You'll be getting the speech until Mr. Matthew loses his voice," she laughed. "He's just filling in for my dad."
Lucas knew her dad was still a sensitive subject. "Then he can give me the speech as many times as he wants."
"Oh look!" Maya pointed excitedly. "The elevators!"
The two of them payed no attention to the other disgruntled shoppers, as they ran for the exits laughing the whole way.
