Chapter Two: Shopping With London
The next day, London walked into Leigh's room. The thirteen-year-old was laying on her stomach on her new bed reading a J14 magazine. She was wearing a baggy white t-shirt with a black leather vest on top, faded black jean capris, and black vans. Her dark hair was in a side ponytail with a few strands falling in her dark eyes.
London on the other hand was wearing a pink halter top, white pants, and pink flip flops. She was holding a pale pink purse. She had a pink hat on her head and her black hair was in two braided pigtails, which actually looked cute on her. She had on (a/n: you guessed it) Passionate Pink lip gloss, a faint amount of pink blush, and dangly pink earrings.
"What are you, an add for pink?" Leigh asked.
"Yeah, I know." London said and posed. "Anyway, are you ready to go?"
"Go where?" Leigh asked.
"To the mall." London said. "It's the Tipton Sister's Shopping Day!"
"You can't be serious" Leigh almost screamed. Her eyes were wide.
"I am." London said cheerfully.
"MOM!" Leigh yelled and jumped up from her bed. She ran into one of the rooms in London's suite and found Melanie hanging up clothes.
"Mother, please don't tell me I'm going shopping with London!" Leigh cried.
"Actually, you are. It was my idea." Melanie said.
"WHAT?!" Leigh shouted. "Do you hate me or something?!"
Melanie chuckled. "No. I just think you should spend some time with London." she said. "Now go have fun."
"I don't want to!" Leigh protested.
"Fine. Then I guess you don't want your Simple Plan then huh?" Melanie held up Leigh's MP3 Player.
"That's mine!" Leigh said. "Oh come on Mom, I don't wanna spend five hours at the mall with Princess!"
"It's heiress." London said walking in the room.
"This is torture!" Leigh cried but went anyway.
-
"I hate shopping." Leigh muttered.
"Oh come on. Shopping is great!" London said.
"For you maybe." Leigh muttered.
"Anyway, you're going to get a total makeover. From top to bottom." London declared.
"Excuse me?" Leigh asked.
-
"OK, let's start with the head." London said. "First…off with this." she took the barrette out of Leigh's hair. Her dark hair cascaded down her back. It was pretty wavy. "Ugh, you need work. C'mon." London said. She took Leigh into her favorite hair cuttery in the mall.
"Hey, Robert." London said. "This is Leigh. She needs a new 'do."
"No I don't." Leigh snapped.
"Ah, but you do." Robert said. He put Leigh in a chair and went to work. Twenty minutes later, Leigh's dark hair was straightened and curled slightly at the bottom. It had gel in it so not a single hair was out of place. It was also trimmed a bit.
"Nice." London stated. Leigh rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Ugh! Wait for me!" London cried and hurried after her.
-
"Now, we have to change your wardrobe." London said.
"What's wrong with my wardrobe?" Leigh asked.
"Please." London said. She dragged(I mean really dragged) Leigh into the best designer shore in the whole mall. She gave some clothes to Leigh and pushed her in a changing room.
While Leigh changed, London listened to the music playing in the background.
You ask me why
I change the color of my hair (yeah)
You ask me why
I need thirty two pairs of shoes (to wear)
You seem to ask me why I got a lot of things
It's just a chick thing, you ought to let it go
You try to understand
but you don't have a clue...
London heard Leigh groan and step out of the changing room. All eyes were on her.
"You look fantastic!" London cried.
Leigh had on a purple tank top, a jean skirt, and black leggings with lace at the bottom. She had on black high heels and a black hat on her head. Well, at least she had some black on.
"Oh come on." Leigh muttered. "I look like Return of the Heiress."
"I am so proud of you." London gushed. Leigh took a step back.
"Whatever. Just wait. Your turn is next." Leigh said with a smirk.
"Turn for what?" London asked confused. Leigh just smirked and walked out of the store.
