When The Gods Interfere

By Adrienne Valentine & TetsuyaTsuki

Chapter 3: A Little Gained, A Little Lost

By TetsuyaTsuki

Summary: When the Gods interfere with destiny, some people get screwed in the process, or so they think.

A/N: The characters are Tania and Sofia, you will get to know them. We now have a genre! All chapters will be in first person unless it's a special case, it will be switching off from Sofia to Tania. Sorry if this confuses anybody. The chapters in which Sofia is narrating are written by her owner, and the same goes with Tania. See below for owners.

Disclaimer: Tania belongs to Adrienne, Sofia belongs to Tetsuya. All else belongs to all those people who made the game.

REVIEWS ARE LOVED!

The Genre is Humor, mostly, this is for fun, after all. :-) Though there is some Romance.

This chapter is in the POV of: Sofia

I couldn't deny the utility this thing (yes I think I can call him that) could have, so I agreed with Tania's idea.

We started walking trying to find some good clothing store, and it didn't take us a long time before it.

"This looks like a nice store, don't you agree Sofia?"

My eyes glanced over the window that was showing a beautiful red and white dress.

My head instantly nodded affirmatively, and in an instant Tania grabbed my wrist and entered the store, with the man (I still haven't caught his name) behind, with a really large, weird smile in his face. Inside it there where six mannequins, with a different outfit, for probably, different occasions.

"So, my darlings tell me what caught your precious eyes, and I shall buy it for you in a second."

Tania wasted no time, and quickly paced the store grabbing a couple of outfits to her liking, and I decided to look before instead.

"Do you need help?"

The voice almost gave me an heart attack. I looked behind me and saw a beautiful blond elf, with emerald eyes looking at me with a perfect smile, while crossing her hands on top of her green dress.

I always admired shopkeepers and their ability to make the perfect fake smile… Everyone knows when I'm making a fake smile, why can't mine be so authentic has hers?

"Yes, I could use some help." – I said, trying to sound politely – "I'm looking for a dress, a good one mind you, cute and comfortable at the same time, nothing too sassy."

"Sure, could you follow me please?"

She quickly started walking towards the part of the store, near the balcony and pulled three dresses.

One of them was too horrible to gaze upon, the other was a little too sassy for my tastes (if you think a cleavage that goes 'till you belly button it's decent, that's fine with you), but the last one was love at first sight.

Its colour was baby blue, with some hints of white flowers, and it wasn't very long, reaching just a little bit below the knees.

But when the elf announced the price, I really though my ears would start bleeding.

"That's not expensive" – Tania said behind me – "At least nor nearly as mine."

"You have any idea how…" – I started shouting, turning around to look at her.

My eyes widened when I saw what she was dressing. It was sort of a belly dancer outfit, in black, with some silver trinkets.

"Looks good on you."

"I know." – she smirked

"So, will that person you so kindly picked, pay for our stuff?"

"Yes." – Tania replied in an instant

"And you know that he will be a pain in the ass, right?"

"Yes."

"So, care to inform me how the hell are we going to get rid of him?" – I finally asked

"I still haven't come up with that yet."

"Well you better come."

"Why only me? We're a two-person team."

"Well maybe because… Well I don't know, enlighten me Tania."

"We could say to him that we're going somewhere, and he could wait for us." – she started – "And what we really do is go to the Sunken Flagon."

I thought it was a very poor idea, but even I couldn't come up with a better one, so we decided to stick to that plan. As soon as we finished our clothing shopping, after we got at least up to five different dresses, we decided to do it.

"So, Dilbert, we're just going over there for a moment, would you mind to wait for us?" – Tania spoke, in a seductive voice.

"No, of course not my beautiful maids, I'll wait for you until the end of my days." – he said, with his eyes shining – "But if you mind me asking, what are you going to do."

"Girly stuff." – I replied instantly

"Yes, but don't worry, we'll be back."

We started walking in the direction of the temple, trying to be discreet while asking people in which direction the Docks District was. It seems it was Southwest.

"So his name was Dilbert." – I questioned Tania, trying not to laugh – "I feel sorry for him."

"Yes, poor guy."

Our eyes looked at the Inn from every possible angle. It really existed, it was there, in front of us, we could reach it, touch it when we wanted.

And we were afraid of entering. At least I was.

"After you." – I trembled while talking

"No, after you."

"Okay at the same time." – I muttered – "Let's count 'till three, shall we?"

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" – We both shouted and opened the door to the famous Inn.
