Artemis followed, watching the two of them. He was just happy they were finally leaving. Becoming vaguely aware of people watching him, he moved closer to his friends. "I. Hate. Wal-Mart." He grumbled.

"Yeah, it isn't everyone's cup of tea." He began to think of ways he was supposed to repay Eliza, and found himself a few shades redder in the face. His eyes got that kind of distant dreamy look and he wandered into lalaland.

"Howdy," Eliza said to the tired looking checkout girl and loaded the conveyer belt with the bras and underwear she had picked out and then all of Huntin's and Arty's things, "Hey Arty, Huntin has that dreamy look on his face ahgain, mind snappin him out of it?" she asked sweetly.

"What do you want me to do?" Artemis asked, looking back at Huntin. He frowned, leaning over and licking the other boy's ear. It earned him a few odd looks, but, as he leaned back a bit, he wondered how Huntin would react.

"Mmmm, now?" Huntin muttered as he closed his eyes and turned around, pulling Artemis, who he thought was Eliza, to him, putting his hands on his hips and kissing him.

Eliza blinked and turned and swiped her credit card through the slot and turned back to Huntin and Artemis, "So hun, whose ah bettah kissah me or Arty?" she asked Huntin a twinkle appearing in her eyes.

Artemis's eyes snapped wide open as Huntin pulled him close and kissed him. After a minute or so, he pulled away and took Huntin's hands, putting them on his chest. "Feel anything there, buddy?" He asked, a smirk playing at his lips.

Huntin pulled away, crossing his arms. This was the second time in a year he had kissed a guy, and the second time in his life. Frankly, he was a little tired of it. He shrugged and cleared his throat, heading over towards the crane machine.

Eliza lifted an eyebrow and looked at Artemis and shrugged gathering up the bags of stuff, "Huntin, yah alright?" she asked hurrying over to him.

Artemis sighed, rolling his eyes in exasperation. It wasn't that bad... he hoped. He folded his arms, walking out the automatic doors and sitting on the bench. He'd let them have this little moment alone.

"Hm? Oh, yeah I'm fine." He looked in the machine, examining the crane. It was obviously one of the sub-par machines, so he didn't eve bother putting a quarter in to try. He took two of the bags with a smile and nod, heading for the doors. "Ready, smoochy?"

"If yah say so," Eliza said biting her lip and shaking her head slowly, but took Huntin's hand in her own as they walked out of Wal-Mart.

Artemis growled, standing and shoving his hands into his pockets. He glanced at Huntin and Eliza's hands, then turned his back to the and, after looking, walked out across the parking lot. Yes, now he was in a slendid mood.

Huntin cleared his mind, just carrying the bags and thinking about how happy he was with Eliza. He didn't want to hurt Artemis's feelings, and he had a slight idea of what was going on. He'd apologize later when they were in a less public place.

Eliza unlocked the gate to her house, letting the guys through before relocking it, "Ever so humble," she muttered darkly looking up at the porch and seeing her father and stepmother sitting there drink sweet tea, waiting for them to come home.

At the sight of the two adults, Artemis's demeanor changed. He stopped slouching and put a small smile on his lips. Years of experiences with his parents friends told him that he'd better act polite and sweet, or something bad could happen.

Huntin straightened himself up and took on a smile as well, remaining as calm as he could. There was no real threat as long as the woman was around, he guessed. He looked to Eliza with a smile and then back up at the house as they made their way there.

"Hey y'all," Eliza said smiling and giving both of her parents a kiss on the cheek, "Were y'all waitin for us, or just watchin tha Yankee tourists go by?" she asked putting her hands behind her back and looking down at the road.
"Actually, we're waitin for you darlin, tha dress fitter is here and she just wants yah tha try on tha dress for tahmorow night," Darlene said smiling at her step-daughter.

Artemis observed the three quietly, then stepped forward to take the bags from Eliza. "We can take these to the place we will be staying while you do that, Eliza," He said, smiling, "Can you tell us where that will be?" He wasn't sure if Eliza wanted her parents to know they'd been up to her room, or anywhere else in the house except the kitchen, so he'd let her decide what to tell them.

"We'll take anything. The couch is fine, don't wanna put you all out of your way or anything." Huntin didn't want to come off as pushy, trying to stay on Bubba....Buck's side as best as possible. Tomorrow night? Jeeze, the gala was already there. Ah well, at least he got deoderant.
