The premise of the mission was simple really. All she had to do was get this old lady's things and take them up to her house when she was done. Ame had scoffed when applying for the mission. I mean, how hard could it be to buy some groceries and random items, then deliver them to the commissioner's house? Of course she had neglected to read over the shopping list itself, too busy daydreaming about what she was going to do in training afterwards. To her horror (when she finally read the thing) she realized that not only did it come with specific instructions on where to buy each item (9 different shops) but also included cleaning the woman's house, walking her dog and feeding her cat. (Of course as luck would have it Ame was terribly allergic to cats).

She consoled herself with thought of how she would spend her mission income later as she dashed through the city, aiming to complete everything by lunchtime. Alas it was not to be so. Her first stop was a fruit stand, just 4 apples, but the apple vendor was unfortunately out of fruit and he would only receive new stock by lunchtime. Ame continued on to the next shop. She grimaced as she was handed a sack of sweet potatoes. She disliked the vegetable, and couldn't fathom what the small old lady was going to do with eleven of them. Did old ladies secretly have all-night ragers at which sweet potatoes were the only food? The tomatoes she bought next could have been the secret dip. 

Instant ramen was bad for a regular person and Ame had no inclination to know just exactly what it was doing to that poor woman's insides. At least the Rose and Sunflower seed would encourage her to go outside. Then again, if she was commissioning genin to do her shopping, she might've been too sick to get out of bed. AMe herself enjoyed the odd cup of green tea to sooth the nerves and make herself relax, so getting the was no problem for her. Her next stop however made her cringe. Her trip to go lingerie shopping with Rinarata had been embarrassing enough, but granny panties? People stared at her as she grabbed whatever random pairs she could find and sprinted for the cashier. On the way she passed a perfume stand and grabbed the most granny-like box He also gave her an odd look, to which Ame just laughed awkwardly and made her escape. She vowed to die before shopping for granny underwear again.

By now she was huffing, trying to shoulder the numerous shopping bags from her various escapades. One more thing and she could get on with the second half of her mission. She had to admit that the apples certainly looked good. She smiled at the vendor before hurrying off to deliver the goods before she toppled over and had to start again. The climb was farther and higher up than she'd expected and by the time she reached the house she was tired and ready to go home. Unfortunately she still had a dog to walk, a cat to feed and a house to clean.

She set to her tasks dutifully, cleaning the house within an hour and walking the dog around the city for another half hour. Her most daunting task lay next. The cat bowl stood in it's place by the kitchen door and Ame grabbed the packet of cat food, tip-toeing over to the bowl with true ninja stealth as she poured in the chunks. It was not enough and the dreaded feline appeared, jumping towards her and landing on her shoulder, before proceeding to rub it's tail across her face. Her eyes began to water as the old woman came in and Ame smiled. Her mission was complete, but at this rate she'd need a cold compress on her eyes for the next few hours.
