"Milk, eggs and cans of Spam are the only things I can think of. The gas Camper has all the canned milk we will need. I at least want to get a one quart jar of fresh milk."

Fernando nudges Hondo with his elbow, "I think if we did that joke I said before, she would have taken it."
 
'The woman needs to know how to survive. We got fresh meat here, and sausage that can keep if you hang them. Ask is she wants some bread or rolls, there's a baker over there we got some raw supplies from but he has some baked goods too." Hondo says.
 
"Lets see..." Fernando replies, then he picks up the radio, "Jeanette. What about bread or rolls? In fact, there is a baker's tent here where we are at. Look for a white metal antenna tower, we are not far from it and the baker is near it. Head towards it and you will find us with the baker."
 
"I'll go get a bag with the egg, milk and SPAM from farmer next to him. Hope she like giant mutant chicken egg." Hondo says as soon as Fernando lets go of the radio.

Hondo muttered about spam uNdrr his breath as he went to the farmers stand. Fernando caught enough of it to grin and shake his head at Hondo but he understood toHondo went ahead and bought another gallon of milk for them and a quart of milk, 2 large eggs, and 6 cans of spam for Jeanette.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Jeanette presses the button. "Sounds good. Get the baked goods too. This morning we used the last of the bread we bought yesterday."

"OK, Hondo and I will be in that area. Come find us." As Fernando gets a canvas bag with the plumbing supplies (water filters, et al.). He then asks John about cleaning supplies.
 
John answers and points to a tent across the path, "I got soap and a few things, but brooms, mops, buckets, you need to see Misses Clean."
 
"Misses Clean?" Fernando asks.
 
"Yeah, there she is." John points her out, a large muscular man-like woman in a bright white t-shirt with a bald head, huge breasts on top of her muscles, large circular earring and an anchor tattoo on her forearm as she sweeps the area in front of her tent. "Her name is Dorothy, by the way... If she likes you, she'll give you a great deal. If she does not like you, just walk away, you wont get anything from her."

As the ladies step out of the church, a crow lands in a tree and caws.
 
"They did?" Moro replies.
 
The crow continues.
 
"I'm impressed. It now seems the party does not need the bus we have prepared. Thanks for letting me know."
 
The crow flies away.
 
 
As the ladies walk through the market, Chihiro sees something familiar.
 
On a table are two anthropomorphic cat dolls. The orange cat is wearing a tuxedo, matching top hat and is holding a walking stick. The cream colored cat is wearing a dress and a hat. She is holding some flowers.
 

 
"Baron!" Chihiro looks the orange cat doll and immediately notices the eyes. "You're not the real Baron."
 
"So, you've read Whisper of the Heart?" The dealer asks.
 
Chihiro nods her head. "Yes."
 
"Those are just replicas." Moro tells Chihiro.
 
The dealer continues. "Legend has it Shizuku Tsukishima was brought to the world of the Spirits shortly her book was published."
 
"She was in the world of the Spirits but she returned." Chihiro says to the dealer.
 
"Why do you say she returned?"
 
"Shizuku Tsukishima disappeared in 1995. The Charlton library has a 2007 copy of Whisper of the Heart signed and stamped by the author."
 
The dealer has noticed Chihiro's accent. "Do you read Japanese?"
 
Chihiro nods her head again. "Yes."
 
The dealer pulls out a wooden box. "I have something especially rare." She opens the box revealing a copy in Japanese. "Not only is this a first edition," she opens the cover, "it's signed by the author."
 
Chihiro looks at the signature. "The signature is a fake. That's not . . . her hand writing."
 
"Are you some sort of expert on Shizuku Tsukishima?"
 
"I am."
 
 
Elsa looks at a doll of a red headed girl in a traditional style dress. The dress is not historically accurate for 1803 Arendelle.
 
"That's Anna as a child from the Disney movie Anna."
 
 
Jeanette sees a Vanellope von Schweetz doll and picks her up. "I have a Vanellope von Schweetz doll; I've never actually held her before."
 
"How can you own a doll without ever holding her?"
 
"All of my dolls are mint in box. Sugar Rush is my favorite arcade game. I even have the game's theme song on my iPod."
 
 
The dealer looks at Danielle. "I have a Girl Scout doll you may be interested in."
 
"I don't collect dolls." Danielle states.
 
"What are you interested in?"
 
"Guns and playing the piano."

After Hondo finishes his business there he stoops and buys the toilet paper theybwere after earlier.  Being told that it is a harder to get product down the line so he buys a half pallet worth as if not used if might be used to trade at farms.  After that he sees Fernando and heads his direction he seems to be talking with a very muscular, manly woman. As he walks to Fernando he sees Jeanette and her lot at a Booth across the lot. He quickens his pace to warn Fernando.

"Two brooms, two buckets, two mops, four extra mop heads, two gallons of floor soap and wax, and a pile of rags... that will be ten shotgun shells." Dorothy tells Fernando as Hondo catches up to them. He manages to step into the conversation before Fernando could answer Dorothy's request.
 
"Jefe, Jeanette and the girls are closing in." Hondo says.
 
"Got the fresh milk, meat and stuff?" Fernando asks as he looks at the giant mutant chicken egg under Hondo's arm.
 
"Right here." Hondo says as he hefts up a canvas bag to show the load of supplies.  
 
"They are going to need some bread and rolls too. Jeanette says they ate what they had this morning." Fernando says.
 
"I'll get right on it." Hondo says before he heads to the baker next to John's Plumbing supplies.
 
"I'm sorry about that." Fernando says to Dorothy, "You said ten shotgun shells? Hmmm... would you take a sliver coin instead?"
 
"Sure, but the change would clean me out shotgun shells." Dorothy says.
 
"Don't worry about the change." Fernando tells her as he hands her two silver coins, "Keep it."
 
"Alright, I will. Maybe next time we meet, the next purchase will be on me." Dorothy tells him.
 
"Next time? This is not the only market you sell in?" Fernando asks.
 
"Oh hell no. We all shop and sell at various places within 200 miles from here. My factory shop is 100 miles from here two towns away, and there are 30-odd settlements me and the the other sellers here sell in. For this week we'll be here, next week I could be 300 miles south of here. It depends on what I hear." Dorothy explains, and then shows off one off her strong arms, "I prefer mutant friendly towns, though I'm not a mutant many would take these muscles I got as me being one. I just work hard."
 
"I see." Fernando says, "Three-hundred miles from here next week? I might be passing by there at that time."
 
"Good, I'll see you then." Dorothy says.
 
"And thanks!" Fernando says before picking up the buckets stuffed with the items within, leaning the mops and broomsticks to his shoulders and heads to Hondo's side.
 
The stand in front of Hondo has two loaves of unsliced bread, a pile of rolls and a few sweet rolls. He was negotiating the price when Fernando came to his side. Jeanette and the others were a few yards away looking for them before they spot them at the baker's tent.
 
- - -
EDIT/NOTE:
this is not a take over of Jeanette's characters, this is just pointing out that Jeanette and her group were already heading in Fernando and Hondo's direction and given the passage of time would be at the stated point of finding them as they looked around.
 
Anything else Jeanette and her entourage finds before meeting up with Fernando and Hondo should be noted as such or else it will be taken that such actions happens after they meet up. Apologies given if needed.

"Hello." Jeanette approaches. "The ladies and I were just looking at dolls an antique dealer has. I only understood one side of a conversation; I understand you got something with wheels."

"Hondo has his truck in the market parking area by the Sellers' entrance so we can buy and drop off at the truck and buy some more before going back to his camper, this way we do not have to carry all this stuff around with us." Fernando begins, then points out to the pile Hondo is paying for, "Bread and rolls to your liking?"
