KOS-MOS and Amelia ride the elevator back down to the lobby. KOS-MOS is wearing all her new cloths, looking at, and touching, all of it.
KOS-MOS "Thank you so much for buying me these cloths."
Amelia "Don't mention it. I said this was a special day, didn't I?"
KOS-MOS "But uh…"
Amelia "Yes, what is it?"
Looking into the bag she holding, KOS-MOS pulls out a pair of panties, with a confused look.
KOS-MOS "Why did you get me these undergarments and this shirt?"
Amelia "Well you do need something to wear at night, or when your cloths are being washed, and I don't think we could afford anything more than that. And you really shouldn't show your underwear in public."
KOS-MOS "Oh, I'm sorry."
As KOS-MOS pushes the underwear back into the bottom of the bag the elevator reaches the ground floor. The doors open just as Seth is walking by.
Seth "Oh there you are. I was starting to… Hey wait, you didn't go cloths shopping here did you? This place is too expensive."
Amelia "But this is a special day for KOS-MOS. Besides, doesn't she look good."
Seth "Well yes she does, but if we spend all our money here…"
Amelia "Then we'll just go hunting again. With that priestly vibe you like to portray you don't seem big on the vow of poverty."
Seth "Beaten again. Alright let's just leave before you spend any more of our money."
Amelia "I'm not sure that's possible."
The three of them make their way over to the checkout counter.
Cashier "Your total comes to 25,169."
Seth "What? That's more than we made this morning."
Amelia "Huh, not as bad as I thought. We coulda got Kos-mos a nice pair of PJ's after all. Just pay the bill Seth, we'll still have almost 900 left."
Seth 'sigh' "Here you go."
Cashier "Thank you sir. Please come again."
When they walk outside Amelia stretches her hands into the sky, then relaxes them, cupped behind her head.
Amelia "You know, since we've come all the way to town we really should go see Aunt Julia and Aunt Chloe."
Seth "Yeah, I'm sure they'll be glad to see us."
Amelia "And we can introduce KOS-MOS. It's such a nice day, that we should walk there. Wait right here while I go put this bag in the car, then we'll head out."
As they make their way down the street KOS-MOS runs back and forth with a look of awe and excitement on her face. She keeps stopping and pressing her face to shop windows to see what's inside.
Amelia "Isn't KOS-MOS so cute? 'giggles' I almost feel like I've got a younger sister."
Seth "You're right. Just watching her makes me feel better. I guess it was worth all that money."
Amelia "That's right, and it's up to us to… "
A voice from behind "Well if it isn't the most beautiful flower of Keltia."
A look of terror comes over Amelia upon hearing that voice.
Amelia "Oh no, not… him."
By the time Amelia turns around there is already a man standing right in front of her. Grabbing her hand he kisses it gently.
Man "Your skin is as silky smooth as ever, and you smell as beautiful as you look."
Amelia brings her foot up, kicking the man in the face.
Amelia "Damn it Jake I told you not to pull stuff like that."
Jake "It's not my fault. I see you beauty and I loose all control of myself."
Amelia "How did you find us anyway."
Jake "I know where you are at all times. Once I've meet a lovely young women I can sense their presence from that point on." 'spots Kos-mos' "Oh, and just who is this rare beauty?"
Amelia "Forgot about me already? And you better keep your hands offa her."
KOS-MOS "Hello. My name is KOS-MOS."
Jake lets out a gasp, and a look of surprise.
Seth "What's wrong Jake."
Jake "Nothing at all I was just surprised by her name. KOS-MOS, derived from an ancient language for the cosmos. There could be no better name for a women who's beauty surpasses even the cosmos."
Taking KOS-MOS's hand Jake kisses the back of it softly. KOS-MOS raises her other hand to her cheek, her face turning bright red.
KOS-MOS 'softly' "I… I… um… thank you."
Amelia's fist comes down on the top of Jake's head.
Amelia "I thought I told you not to touch her. Do you have some kind of hearing impairment?"
Jake "Jealous? Don't worry about it, you are the only women for me."
Amelia starts grinding her fist into Jake's head, giving him a noogy.
Seth "We were just on our way to see Julia and Chloe, why don't you come with us?"
Amelia "WHAT? Don't say that or he'll."
Jake "The Seraphim sisters? I would be most honored to be your gracious companion."
Amelia takes KOS-MOS's arm and pulls her close.
Amelia "Just make sure you stay at least five feet from us."
Jake "I don't know. With you holding her like that it'll be hard for me to contain myself."
KOS-MOS "He really seems to like women."
Amelia "A little too much if you ask me."
KOS-MOS "So is he what you would call… a pervert?"
Amelia "That's almost an understatement."
Jake "Just like a rose. So beautiful, yet so painful."
