I was running errands, yesterday, and my best friend was tagging along since we'd both had a crummy week and needed some buddy time. I needed to stop at the mall to get my make-up (from Sephora, because I'd run out of everything at once) and we were walking past Build-a-Bear and I commented how much I wanted the Spike.
He asked me how much they were, and I said I'd never looked so he practically dragged me in to find out. I found out Spike was only $10 (really!?) so I was going to get him for myself. We got up to the register and my friend sniped the credit card swiper on me, like he was a ninja!! I insisted that I get him something that day, and he refused.
I almost cried, later, when I took him out of the bag to put up by my Aurora Pinkie Pie, because not only did I get a Spike, which I really wanted, but it turned out to be a gift from a friend who was really trying to cheer me up.
