Authors notes: ah I like all the dmc girls! We have one angsty very attractive looking Lucia, who overflows with good emotions, another angsty, yet feisty and beautiful Lady, and the mature, repented yet stunning Trish. And mostly, that they're all good women with unique beauty!

Let's see if I can try and write them all in one go:

()(-))-()(-)()(-)

They had set down their weapons on the table. All three girls decided that they'd go for a shopping spree. Trish had decided to buy new clothes as that she's been so self conscious of the fact that she's slept in and out of her black tight spandex and the tiny black top that barely holds anything. She flipped through the magazines and asked Lady what would look good on her.

"What do you think, Lady? Do you think any other color besides black would look good on me?"

"I think black suits you, but if you wear red, you might be mistaken as Dante's mom." She nodded. Lucia giggled out loud, "She looks like Dante's mom, silly!"

"I know that." Lady smiled, realizing that Lucia didn't catch many things, like inside jokes and all that. But Lady had a fondness for Lucia as did they all for one another and their comradeship was growing. Sharing things together like what to wear and what hair style looks best, but most of all, beneath all that girly stuff, they preferred to discuss the techniques of weaponry and battle moves.

Trish chortled deeply, her deeper voice bringing on that maturity she had over the two girls, "I think we should all get something to eat, like ice cream. How about it? Right after we buy some clothes today. I really do need a new set of clothes. It gets really annoying when all the men ogle you with ideas that I'm easy tattooed on my forehead."

Lucia giggled again, "Oui! I vould like to have zom food too and oui, you look very easy for men, but not until zey find themselves with Sparda looking at them at sword point!"

The blonde woman snorted loudly, "You got that right." And proceeded to high five the red head, but that was also lost on the younger woman.

"What iz dis?"

"Oh it just means that I agree with you, but on a more physical contact way."

"I like dis kind of vay!" Lucia put her hand up against the blondes and they both smacked their hands together.

In the meantime, Lady was making notes on how much money she should spend on upgrading her weapons and weighed her small knives and looked over at Lucia, "What do you think? Worth anything?"

Lucia who was the specialist in knives took one look at them and clicked her tongue, "I think dat you should try to take one of mine." But the brunette shook her head, "Thank you, but I'm not much in what you do, you know, what you do with knives and all."

"Merci, pretty one, I think that you are zo very good at your guns and not to mention your ability to be so acrobatic! Without even having a drop of demonic powers like me and de Trish here. We were created to have these powers already, but you, you worked hard on yours! For that I am very impressed."

"Awww, Lucia, thank you." Lady replied kindly, "I do have the scars to prove it."

"For scars, they look very elegant on your skin!" Lucia piped up, "I wish my skin was zo very fair and fine!"

"No way! I love your smooth, dark skin! It's gorgeous!" Lady retaliated.

Lucia was not one to let things drop and shook her head vigourously, causing her red braids to move, "You have very soft and translucent skin, Lady, even dat scar looks lovely on you!" She reached up hesitantly, wanting to touch Lady's cheek, "May I?"

"Sure." Lady shrugged and the other woman rubbed her palm over the teenaged girl's fine skin.

"I vas right! It iz zo very soft as baby skin and fine!"

Trish popped her gum, "Lucia, you sound like a cosmetic department store owner."

"But I vas telling de truth! I vant to also tell Lady dat her work out every day to be a top notch devil hunter iz zo very wonderful!"

Trish nodded, "And what about me, Lucia? Anything I do?" Trish was clearly fishing for compliments and Lucia obliged very happily.

"Oui! You are good at that sword you wield! I have never zeen such display of power when you hold that sword. It iz like Sparda himself iz inside it and helping you! Dat iz like two people in synchronizing rhythm!"

"Wow, Lucia, darling,such wonderful observation and I thank you!" Trish leaned in and kissed the side of Lucia's brown cheeks. "Anything else?" The blonde woman preened, set her hands on her hips and then proceeded to squeeze her small waist, "For example, my tall physique?"

"Alright!" Lady chimed in with a smile, "You ladies are making me sick with all this gooshy stuff. It's all nice, all this woman comradeship, but let's get going, shall we?"

They all nodded and headed out to the first shopping mall.

The oogles of men that stared at them caused a little bit of stir, while on the other hand, they were accosted by security guards, because Lucia packed a few knives in her diesel jacket.

"Non!" Lucia cried, "I taught dat I could have my small knives in my person if I want!"

Lady brought her dark fine brows together, "Yeah, what is this? Airport security?"

"No, ladies, we have now a security alert to this mall that no weapons allowed." Cried the buff looking security guard, "We've had problems before."

"Problems?" Trish popped her bubblegum, "What sort of problems…?"

"By any chance two men in blue and red with silver hair come by here recently?" was Lady's question.

"Yes, they did come by here."

Trish bopped her forehead with her palm, "UGH! Those two! They really need a kick in the shins if they're going to start getting all show offy inside a mall!"

So after departing with their weapons, leaving them inside their jeep, the three of them went inside peacefully. Trish spotted a lingerie shop first, "Wow! Would you look at that! Hey Lady, Lucia, why don't you two buy some of this stuff? What I'm wearing could pass as one anyway." She popped another bubblegum in her mouth and rolled her eyes.

Lucia shook her head, "It vould be impozzible, since after all, I cannot hide any of my weapons! Ware vould I put dem?" she held both her hands out as if they were empty and shrugged."Also, the men in mah village already are after me. Dey zay dat I cannot have any babies zo de ones who want a sex machine try to ask me out."

"Why those male chauvanist pigs!" Trish fumed,"I should go over there and electrucute their butts!"

"Non, non, Trish, it iz alright! I know dat zom of my friends joke with me. At first I threw dem sum knives to shut dem up, then Matier told me dat they were joking!"

"True enough. Ok, wow, look over there!" Trish pointed at the array of winter coats, trying desperately to change the subject, because talking about Lucia's cluelessness was an uncomfortable thing.

"Something you probably need badly when it gets cold, Trish." Lady slyly smirked, who followed along.

"Actually, my pretty girl, I can't feel a damn thing, because I was created with the ability to withstand all weather conditions! I don't have any feeling in that area. No sensitive points when Mundus created me. But I can feel fear, which is what Mundus required! That is why I feared when that damned pillar nearly fell on me! To think that I was going to be squished when I had deceived Dante again!"

Lucia chirped, "Den it iz good dat you have his mother's face! Dat saved your life!"

"Yes indeed," Trish nodded, "I am grateful for that!" The blonde stopped chewing and held the amulet that hung around her neck. She held it tight around her hand and felt the pulse there. "I can feel her, it's like she is me, and I am her…"

"Really?" Lady raised her dark brow, "That's amazing. I wish I could feel my mother's presence." There was a lost long look in her eyes when she whispered that.

"Don't you worry, Lady, we're all here for you," Trish smiled, "Now, how about we get ourselves some ice cream?"

The red head and the brunette nodded and they all went for Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Lady had a mixed Cherry Garcia with vanilla and strawberry on the side, while Lucia dug into her Chocolate Fudge Brownie and said loudly, "MMMM! Maybe I shall get zom other flavour to mix like you, Lady!" Then proceeded to order the Chunky Monkey.

Lady looked over at Trish, "What are you getting?"

Trish gave her a wink, "What else? The The Full Vermonty!"
