A/N Hiiiii
. . . . . . . . . .. ...
I'M SO SORRY! I know I should have updated during the summer... But the summer passed by so quickly... And then my bf came from outsees just to visit me...And then uni...And I got sick with pneumonia...
But now I'm all better plus it's the winter holidays So...here it is! The great update!
I entered the mall with Celty and Anri. My mission is to shop something formal… I have no clue where I should search or for what. It is my first time shopping without dad… and in such a huge place with so many stores in it…
"So… What are you looking for Electra-san?" Asked Anri…
woa… A teenager just called me with the -san honorific… I feel so weird… Am I that old already?
I chose to ignore it for the time being and I went straight to the point "Umm… I'm supposed to go to dinner somewhere with Izaya-sama and Shizuo-san… They asked me to choose something formal"
"Formal, huh?" Anri-chan gave me a look along with Celty-san.
I know it's not my style, but that's no reason to look out me like that.
[It'll take a lot of work. How much time do we have?] Celty-san asked
"Izaya-sama said to text him when I'm done" I answered
[Ok, give me a minute] She said and typed a message. After a few secondsfew seconds, she got a reply [He says to take our time but no more than two hours]
"Eh?! You texted him?" I screaked.
[Yea… I let him know of our plans]
"We have plans?"My voice just couldn't calm down.
[Of course we do! We have to make you the prettiest woman in Tokyo tonight! Right, Anri-chan?]
I've really got a bad feeling about that.
"Yea. Dates are important" She answered
"D-dates?! I'm not going on a date!" I protested , my voice still being of mess.
[Yes, you are! Now follow us! We got many things to do and so little time!] Celty-san said and they both started dragging me from one shop to another.
"What the hell flea?! Why do I have to shop with you?!" I asked frustrated
"Because, Shizu-chan, my beloved monster –no I take that back, Electra-chan is my beloved monster, you are my ever hated monster- you have no other clothes than this bartender uniform" Izaya answered making his mouth like a kitty.
How much I want to punch him right now.
"So what?" I asked trying to control my nervesmy nerves.
"Well, we can get you a suit for dinner AND then tail Electra-chan and see what she's shopping" He said with a huge smirk.
We would see it later, why tail her?
"Tail her on your own" I said turning to leave the mall"stalker"
"Not so fast, Shizu-chan… You gotta buy this costume at least. Come on, I'm paying anyway" He said.
Whatever… for Electra-chan's sake.
Waiting for Electra-chan to finish shopping was so boring. We obviously were done quickly and were waiting at one of the cafeterias in the basement for her to finish her shopping. I know girls are supposed to take a very long time shopping but she had something specific today so why she taking so long? The first hour went by easily… a little shopping for Shizu-chan, a little chit-chat, a little trolling behind Shizu-chan's back…
I even spotted Electra-chan along with Celty and Anri-chan getting out of a clothes store. Thinking back to it, Celty mentioned they had some things besides clothing to do, so I'm curious but that damn monster over here refuses to tail them.
"So… Shizu-chan… about earlier…" I started trying to create conversation. The only topic I could think of was this. I was sure he'd avoid everything else.
"Ahhh… Yea.. I ended up fixing your door, so we missed the chance to talk about it"
The conversation we had earlier bugged me to no end
"She heard us last time" He said. Boredom disappeared.
"What do you mean she heard us? Was she eavesdropping?" I questioned
"According to Celty she just heard the end of it when she was about to tell us the food was done" He answered
"This is bad… Now she definitely knows something's going on behind her back" I bit my lip
"Yea… It seems that she's trying to figure this out herself. Celty's motive was to get things out of me in order to tell Electra-chan" He said "She knows as much as we know"
"Then it's pointless to keep everything a secret" I said thinking of a solution "I need you to contact your uncle"
"What? We're still continuing this behind her back?" He asked
"No… I just think it would be a distraction if along with the little things we can tell her we let her come with us. We might not get fried if she has something to look forward to" I explained to him
Then, a huge smirk spread all over his face. What's he so satisfied for?
"How many times has she fried you?" He asked
"I don't need to answer any of this to you Shizu-chan" I answered with my own smirk
"So she has fried you many times" He said clearly amused.
"You wouldn't happen to be jealous of our passionate relationship, ne Shizu-chan?"
It really is bothersome that she knows but she might be useful in the end. Or remember things faster.
"So, what did your uncle say?" I asked
"He said that he'll be a little late but he'll meet us in the restaurant you suggested"
"You didn't tell him about Electra-chan, did you?" I asked confirming the plan
"No, he only knows about the two of us" He answered
"Good, everything is according to the plan then. Now let's hope Electra-chan won't be that long"
"I don't think she will flea" Shizu-chan said and got up.
"Hm? What's wrong Shizu-chan?" I asked and looked up to him, then to the direction his shocked eyes were looking at. *
What the…?* I got up myself
Celty, as we know her on the right. Anri-chan on the left… and a completely different looking Electra-chan in the middle.
First, we entered a clothes shop. Celty-san and Anri-chan had me trying lots of dresses. I looked in the mirror for what seemed like the millionth time. *This is it* I thought
"I love it!" I exclaimed to the other two. The dress was blue and long. After the thighs the design looked like it was cut and showed my long legs. Also, it pointed out my curves. I only had one other dress up to now and it didn't look anything like that. It also had golden glitter everywhere so it was very flashy, unlike the everyday clothes I'm wearing and it matched both my hair and eyes.
The girls agreed it was perfect too, so I paid for it and we left. Now we headed for a shoes store. It took a while, but I found a nice pair of heels that fit with the dress. Little did I know, they made me go for a quick manicure after that and then…
The hairdresser. I've never been to one before. No, I had, but it didn't end well.
"Girls, I think we should skip this part" I said trying to save myself
[Stop complaining! It's our mission to make you a real beauty tonight] Celty-san answered and they dragged me inside.
"Last time I went to a hairdresser, he almost died from electroshock!" I said
"Don't worry, Electra-san, this one is different" Anri-chan said and turned to the man that was to take care of my hair and whispered something to him.
He blew some water to my hair with a spray and he nodded when he saw the electricity running
"Follow me" He said and all three of us followed him to another room where the other two gave him instructions on how to shape my hair. He was really good! For some reason it went smoothly! And my hair didn't look wild anymore. It looked normal.
As I paid him he gave me a shampoo and conditioner and told me to use them from now on and my hair would never have to look like that again. I thanked him and we left to find Izaya-sama
Ok, what I saw when we met them was probably the best thing I had ever seen. Izaya-sama and Shizuo-san in suits. I don't know how to say it, but both of them had their own… charm…
They immediately got up when they saw me, speechless. Was my new dress and hair that bad?
"H-hey guys… You look… different"
"You look different yourself" Shizuo-san answered
"I-is it good or bad?" I asked
"It's perfect" Both answered. No, no, no, no, no, no… I mean it's good but… it's so embarrassing damn it! I looked down and shut my eyes closed.
"What's wrong Electra-chan?" Shizuo-san asked
"I bet you looked at her in a weird way you perverted monster" Izaya-sama said narrowing his eyes at Shizuo-san
"huh?! We all know better who has the creepy looks in here!" Shizuo-san retorted
"Well, not to brag but…" Izaya-sama said smirking and struck a pose
"I agree with Shizuo-san… you're creepy Izaya-sama"
"Ehh? Electra-chan is being mean!" He talked back
"I'm a monster after all… Isn't that what you said?" I asked rhetorically
[How are you doing this? They aren't killing each other!] Celty-san said
"I don't know. They seem to be in good terms lately" I replied
We reached at the restaurant. It was one of those really expensive ones that you only see on TV. I never thought I'd go to one. I guess sticking with this bug isn't so bad. I got to buy an expensive dress, got to have manicure, got new shoes and found a hairdresser that can actually do my hair!
"Izaya-sama, thanks for everything!" I thanked him as we sat on our table
"It was worth it so don't mention it, Electra-chan. Let's go together when I'm completely healed" He suggested
"Sure!" I said with a wide smile
"You girls really like shopping after all" Shizuo-san said
"I-it's not that I like it THAT much… I just never had the chance to go shopping with friends before… and actually buy whatever I want no matter how expensive it is" I answered
"Celty forgot something, don't you think Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked
Shizuo-san eyed me carefully "I don't know, she already looks perfect"
Izaya-sama sighed "You poor people are satisfied with anything. Make-up, Shizu-chan, make-up" Izaya-sama got up and extended his hand to me "I knew this was going to happen. Follow me princess"
I looked over at Shizuo-san and he nodded. If Shizuo-san agrees with Izaya-sama it can't be bad. I had never thought I would wear make-up either. So many new things are happening today!
We entered the women's bathroom together which was a little awkward but Izaya-sama seemed fine with it. He opened a bag he had with him and started putting make-up on me. After a few minutes of patience he let me look in the mirror
"Woa… it's like I'm a completely different person!" I exclaimed "It's amazing! Can you teach me?" I asked with a smile
Izaya-sama had a surprisingly warm smile and my cheeks burned "Sure, anything you want Electra-chan" He said gazing into my eyes
"U-umm…We should probably head back" I said feeling a little nervous
He pointed the elbow of his good arm at me and I put my hand on it. He gave that same smile but this time it had something mischievous in it "You're really beautiful tonight princess"
I blushed "T-thank you" I replied "It's all thanks to you" I said
As we headed back to the table there was one more person seated next to Shizuo-san. He was quite older than us. Izaya-sama took his seat and I sat next to him feeling nervous all of a sudden. I had a weird feeling about this man. His hair and eyes had the same color as mine and there was something messing with the electromagnetic field.
He looked surprised to see me and spoke
"Excuse me, your name wouldn't happen to be Electra, right?" He asked
A/N Again I'm so sorry guys! You have no idea how many times I tried to post this chapter!
