(I Don't own Anything) Coco Cola

Michael sighed as he crossed his arms. He had been dragged to Walmart, by Daniel Phil Dilance and Gabriel. Why you may ask, well that’s easy, Dilance wanted to find a Coca cola, with his name on it. Gabriel wanted some soda, Daniel wanted to hang out, with Gabriel. And Phil wasn’t going to let those three run around, unsupervised. And Daniel had dragged Micheal away from work, to join them. All in all it was going to end badly, and Michael seemed to be the only one to think so. They were in the drink aisle, and the other four was going through the cokes.
“I don’t have any over here.”
Daniel said, as he started to put back the diet coke.
“Same.”
Gabriel almost yelled, from the glass coke section.
“There’s none by the checkout.”
Phil said, as he entered the aisle.
“None here.”
Dilance said, as he put back the last coke. Michael spoke up.
“You know you can make your own coke, right?”
“Yeah, but it’s more fun this way.”
“OK, just making sure you knew.”
With that, Michael turned around, and left the aisle. The other hesitated for a minute, before following him.
“Where we going?”
Daniel asked, as he sped walked, to keep up with his team mate.
“To get Dilance his coke.”
“How? We searched everywhere.”
Dilance said, as he handed Gabriel his coke.
“Yup, but you guys were looking, for the wrong thing.”
“OK, now you’ve confused even me.”
Phil said, from the back of the group. They took a sudden turn, into the art aisle.
“I don’t know if you know this, but cokes aren't sold in the art aisle.”
Gabriel said, as they came to a stop, in front of the markers.
“Yes Gabriel, I am aware of that.”
Michael responded, as they exited the aisle. Now with a white marker.
“Than why did we stop there?”
Daniel joined in on the conversation.
“I know.”
Dilance almost yelled.
“I’m glad someone knows.”
Michael responded, as they entered the line, to the self checkout.
“Nope still confused.”
Gabriel nodded in agreement, with Daniel.
“You’ll know soon enough.”
Michael responded, as they checked out their cokes. The other noticed, that Michael bought a secret coke.
Once outside Michael fell behind.
“Michael?”
“Go on to the car. I’ll be there in a minute.”
The other did as they were told. And headed to the car. A few minutes later Michael appeared, and handed Dilance a Coke. The others gathered around him, to see what name it had on it. To everyone's surprise it said Dilance.
“But how?...”
“With the maker, I wrought Di, next to Lance.”
Michael said, as he lend back in his chair.
“That was actually pretty clever.”
Daniel said, as he held up his coke for a toast. Every one tapped their cokes together.
“You sound surprised.”
Michael responded, to Daniel's comet.
“Just take the compliment.”
“I don’t think it is a compliment. But I’ll take it anyways.”
Michael said, as he took a sip from his coke.

And with that they headed home.
