Chapter 10

Shopping Chaos- The Girls

Serena was looking through her things for that same shirt she was looking for a few weeks ago when she heard giggling. She looked around her room, but it couldn't have been Simone because

1. Simone couldn't talk.

2. She was downstairs in the library.

So Serena could only assume the annoying giggling was coming from inside her head. The source? Ariana.

You know I'm starting to feel a little annoyed by your habit of interrupting my life.

What life?

Point taken. Now what the hell are you giggling about.

Nothing *giggle* it's just you didn't correct my "mistake" from the other day.

What are you talking about?

After I made you apologize to Pyro, you didn't start being mean to him again.

What do you want him to think I was bipolar or something?

Why do you care what he thinks?

…I'm gonna kill you, I swear.

I'm part of you, so you would have to die for me to die.

"Oh boy, a bonus." Serena said out loud. She heard a throat clearing behind her and saw Rogue standing in her doorway. Serena's face turned red, embarrassed that someone had heard her actually talking to Ariana. "Something you need?" She asked, hoping Rogue didn't know who she had been talking to.

"Kitty is forcing all the girls to go shopping with her for the dance." Rogue said. She hadn't mentioned anything about Serena being crazy, but that didn't mean anything.

"All the girls?"

"Well, Jean, Amara, me and you."

"Lucky us."

"Pretty much. Jean wants everyone to hurry up or she'll let Kitty drive us to the mall."

That statement forced Serena to get up and leave quickly, despite the fact she had no plans to go to the dance. She suspected Rogue didn't want to go either, but no one could avoid doing something when Kitty would make a puppy dog face. Or when she started threatening people with her cupcakes of doom. They were the ultimate weapons of mass destruction.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

After about half an hour of complaining from the backseat where Rogue, Serena and Amara were seated, Jean had safely brought all five girls to the mall. Kitty squealed excitedly, excited for a shopping trip with her "friends". Of course, once again, we find Kitty in her own messed up world.

Rogue tried to sneak into Hot Topic, before Jean used telekinesis to stop her. Rogue mumbled something not meant for the ears of small child. She was hoping that even though she wasn't planning on going to the dance, she could find something cool. But Kitty chose to go in some store that exclusively sold dresses for dances and stuff.

"Like, you should try this on!"

"That would, like, be so totally, like, perfect for you?"

"Does this, like, make me look, like, fat?"

Kitty's constant likes were driving everyone crazy. She had tried on every dress in there before she found a pink dress spaghetti strapped one. She said it was one of a kind and perfect, despite the fact that Rogue had observed ten girls purchasing the same dress before Kitty had even discovered it.

Next Kitty had to try to get her friends to buy dresses. Jean picked out a blue one because she was going with Scott and Amara had a red one because she was going with Bobby. When she told people this, she grinned because of how shocked they were. Everyone had expected her to go with Sam. I would elaborate more on this, but I don't like Amara all that much.

Kitty had been having success with getting her friends to pick out dresses, until she had tried to get Rogue and Serena to pick out dresses. "No way in hell." Rogue said politely. Serena nodded in agreement and together they made an unbreakable wall against Kitty and her girly dresses. Unfortunately, just like with real walls, Kitty phased through their metaphorical barrier.

Rogue grumbled as she put on a black dress. It was the only one that looked okay to her. It was long sleeved with a v neck. She stared at herself in the mirror for two seconds before grabbing some cheap jewelry to go with it. She bought it and figured if she didn't wear it to the dance (which she didn't plan to) at least she could wear it somewhere else.

Serena still refused to pick out a dress. Kitty became frustrated and grabbed random dresses of the rack. She put them in Serena's arms and practically shoved her into a dressing room. Serena stood there for a minute, in shock how a girl who couldn't have weighed any more than 90 pounds had done that. Of course her thoughts were interrupted by Kitty's yelling. "TRY SOMETHING ON RIGHT NOW OR FACE THE DOOM OF MY COOKING!" Damn be the day Kitty discovered that she could use her cookies as a weapon. Serena dug threw the pile till she found something. It was a light purple dress and it looked okay. She didn't bother trying it on, but it wasn't too much money. She bought it just to satisfy Kitty.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

As the girls were walking out of the store, they heard a voice call. "Well, if it isn't Kitty Pryde and her friends."

Every one of the girls had a grim look on their faces as they turned around. It was Helen, Lance's new girlfriend, Lance was not with her at the moment, so she decided to pick on Lance's ex, Kitty. Kitty turned to face her. Helen had looked a lot like Kitty, so people had figured that was the only reason that Lance would even go out with her. She was a super bitch. Before she dated Lance, she used to be nice and shy. Now she flaunted it in Kitty's face.

Surprisingly, Kitty smiled at the girl. She walked over to her and said, "You can have Lance. I don't care. I'm dating this new guy. His name is Peter and he's from Russia. He's sweet and has these big muscles and totally in LOVE with me."

Jean had to stop herself from laughing when Kitty said that. She had read Piotr's miserable thoughts when he was with Kitty. He wasn't exactly in love with her.

Helen's face fell when Kitty sad that. She could no longer hold Lance over Kitty's head, because Kitty had a hot Russian boyfriend. And what did she have? A dude with a mullet. A MULLET! Then Helen got an evil idea. A marvelously evil idea. She smiled like the Grinch and walked away.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&

After getting home, Serena collapsed on her bed. Her roommate was taking a Danger Room session, so Serena was alone with her thoughts. Which wasn't at all a good thing.

Going to the dance.

No.

You should go with Pyro.

You should shut the fuck up.

I'm just stating facts.

Don't try to set me up with a guy. Remember when you did that around the fourth of July?

That was fun.

THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE! I STILL HAVE BAD DREAMS ABOUT IT! THERE WERE WATERMELONS EVERYWHERE!

After Serena's outburst, Ariana had become quiet, so Serena slowly drifted off to sleep.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Wow, um, this chapter sucks. Oh and technically, Helen isn't an oc. I read on a website that in the comics, Avalanche was supposed to have a wife named Helen. I was gonna do a catfight in this chapter, but I'll save that for the dance. Reviews are needed to keep me writing.

Next up: The boys go shopping. Something that will prove to be highly entertaining to both write and read about.
