A/N: Should Sarah the waitress make a return later in the story? If I bring her back, should she be a villain? Should she be an evolved human as well?
Elle and Claire entered the mall, and Claire led them to a clothing store. They entered.
"Uh, Claire, this place looks really expensive. How are we going to pay?"
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve," Claire replied.
"Seriously, I'm not sure if even I with my Company bank account and the stuff turned to gold by my dad could afford very much at this store."
"Don't worry about it, Elle."
"Hello, Ms. Bennet," the clerk said from the counter.
"Hello, Elaine."
"Who's your friend, Ms. Bennet?"
"This is my girlfriend, Elle Bishop."
Elaine sized up Elle and her clothes.
"Ms. Bishop, we just got in a truckload of clothes I think you may like. Please follow me. I'll show you the new stuff, and then, you can wander. Do you mind following me?"
"No."
The brunette clerk led them back into the store.
"I have co-ownership of the store," Claire said. "That's my secret."
Elle's eyes widened at this revelation.
"How'd you get co-ownership?"
"I saved the original owner. In gratitude, he gave me co-ownership."
"That's nice."
Elle pulled a dress off the shelf and handed it to Claire.
"Try this," Elle said.
Claire took the dress and held it up to her.
"I don't know if I like this, Elle," Claire answered, "I'll try it on, but I'm not really thrilled with the look of this."
Five minutes later, Claire came out of the changing room, wearing the blue dress which had flowers on it.
"That looks really good on you, Claire."
"Alright, if you like it, I'll get it."
They continued shopping and then headed home.
