A Whole New World

Chapter 12

Kisses and Dresses.

"Helena!!" Screamed the two girls on the floor.

"Helena, stop it! Stop moving things already!! You'll kill 'im!" Lissa yelled at her totally pissed off older sister.

"And Us!!" Alex cried.

"He Woke Me Up God Dang It!!" Helena yelled back.

"Yeah, But so did we and you wouldn't want to hurt US now would you?" Alex said. Pretty soon inanimate objects that had been hurling themselves at Luther, who was now bleeding not quite profusely, with out the knowledge of the sisters, and fell back down to the floor in random places, some on top of others; Some just in random places on the floor, luckily for the girls nothing, except half a dozen pillows and a rug, fell on them.

Lissa was about to breathe a huge sigh of relief when, upon inhaling, something that smelled vaguely of copper made her catch her breath. Alex noticing this put a hand on the small girl's shoulder.

"You ok Liss?" Lissa shook her head slightly and, unable to speak for fear of breathing in the formidable sent, thought,

"No, I smell blood. I HATE the smell of blood. I don't much like the sight of it either for that matter. You know that." Alex nodded and looked at Luther. She winced and let out a low whistle upon seeing the multiple cuts and other various wounds Helena's wrath had given him.

"Think you can fix 'im Liss?" Alex inquired raising an eyebrow. Lissa sat up waited a second before she stood up, slowly turning to face Luther, muttered something that sounded like "What am I, Jasper Hale?" and, holding her breath, she got to work.

Not too long after.

"Now that was torture!" Lissa exhaled finally as she watched Helena, completely embarrassed, walk over bow half a gazillion times and say, "Sorry.", over and over again.

Luther just rolled his eyes, stood up, slipped on his shoes, and said simply,

"Go get your shoes on. I'm taking you guys shopping." The girls stared at him in shock for a few minutes before Alex chocked out wide-eyed,

"What did you just say?"

"What do you think I just said? Go get you're shoes. I'm Taking you three shopping. You need more outfits. You can't live out of those." Came Luther's slightly annoyed reply. There was momentary silence before unsuppressed laughter bubbled up and out of the teens' lips causing them to collapse and laugh, pounding the fists on the floor, tears spilling out of their eyes and running down their faces.

"I'm sorry, it's just the context that you said that in." Helena apologized wiping the tears away with a grin so large Luther wondered if it could get any bigger without splitting her pretty lips apart. He looked at the other two girls who were now sitting up gasping for breath with grins identical to Helena's. After they had calmed down and slipped shoes on they headed out the door.

"Where to?" Alex asked while bouncing around like she was on a sugar high.

"The mall. Where else?" Luther said in a way that made it sound almost as if he didn't care. As he walked in the direction, the girls assumed, mall was in.

After a while of walking, cart wheeling, tree bouncing, and running

"FINALLY!!" Helena exclaimed loudly, releasing her, not quite painful, grip on the back of Lissa's neck.

"Ditto." Lissa and Alex said together as Lissa rubbed the back of her neck where Helena had squeezed to keep her from giving her a solid smack on accident. They walked in and almost immediately Luther, out of the corner of his eye, saw Alex and Lissa drag Helena into the first dress shop they saw. Upon entering the two girls picked up several beautiful dresses and placed them up against Helena's back to make sure they were the right length. They then shoved her into an empty dressing room, placed the dresses inside, drew the curtain, and leaned on either side of it.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THE BIG IDEA HERE!? WHAT AM I? YOUR DOLL THAT YOU CAN JUST DRESS UP ANYTIME YOU WANT?!"The entire shop heard Helena yell.

"A little louder Hells, I don't think Maine heard you!" Alex said just before hers and Lissa's eyes met and they grinned and said together,

"YES!"

"That's exactly what you are Helena!" Alex said cheerfully.

"WHAT?! NO, I AM NOT!! AND JUST FOR THAT I WON'T TRY ON THESE DRESSES." Helena said sitting down, crossing her arms and legs, and tilting her nose in the air slightly.

"Oh yes you will!" Alex said happily as she saw Lissa blind fold Luther with a tie so he wouldn't see Helena before her make over was complete. Lissa walked back to her post just in time to hear Helena and Alex 'arguing',

"Oh yeah?!" Helena said skeptically.

"YEAH!! Now get dressed, before we do it for you." Alex threatened, not kidding in the least.

"You wouldn't dare…" Helena said, the glare she was giving the curtain showing plainly in her voice. She knew perfectly well that Alex could (and would too!) live up to her threat.

"You wanna bet?" Came the expected mumbled response from Lissa.

"Not really, no." Helena said, still refusing to be her sisters walking, talking, living doll. The two girls exchanged looks, chuckled, and slipped into the dressing room that was not meant for three teenaged girls. For several minutes afterward the only things heard were CRASH, THUD, OW!!, HEY!!, NOT FAIR!!, STOP!!, ACK! HELLS! STAND STILL GOD DAMNIT!!, and a couple NEVAH!!. After wards there was a long period of blessed silence as they slipped out. A very disgruntled Helena stuck in between her two happy sisters. They dragged Helena over to a small makeup kiosk where the young woman took down a phone number and shooed the two girls away so she could make up Helena even more. Since they had nothing better to do, Alex decided to doll up Lissa a little. Lissa took the one dress Alex gave her and went to try it on. The dress was a blue 'fairy point' style skirt with a corset like bodice.

"Very nice Lissa! Ok shoes and make-up now!" Alex said pointing to a chair that would allow her to apply as much make-up as needed, before having Lissa slip on lace up blue 3.5" sandal heels.

"Thank you!" Lissa replied picking up taller, red, bigger, but otherwise identical shoes for Helena. They received a call that Helena was ready and they walked over there. Upon arriving they slipped on the shoes helped her out of the chair and walked her over to Luther.

"You can take off the blind fold now." Alex told him, and they stepped away as he took it off. His eyes went wide as he took in the image of Helena in a dress. The red dress followed her subtle curves very closely accentuating them until it gently flared out falling to the floor in gentle waves of red satin. He couldn't take it any more, He knew it, and everyone knew it, everyone but her. He loved her. He loved her more than anything else; more than anyone else for that matter. But he couldn't tell her that. Oh no, she'd freak out and hate him.

"You look… Beutifu--…" He said when his own body cut him short by moving towards her, his lips colliding with her own. He kissed her. As if on queue Lissa took out her camera and took pictures before letting Alex take the camera and have some fun of her own before Helena pulled back her fist preparing to knock the wind out of Luther.

I'm SO dead aren't I Helena? I'm Sorry but I HAD to!! It was just so perfect! I just

HAD TO!!
