Sorry for the short chapter. It's kind of a build up for the surprise next chapter, which I bet none of you will see coming! And oh my god! We're at 50+ reveiws! If only we can get to 100. Now onto the chapter.
Chapter Twelve: Let's Go To the Mall Today
"Come on you slow pokes!" I yelled happily as she ran backwards. I could see Greed walking with Ed and Al and Samantha running after me. I was too excited and hyper to walk.
"No, we're fine walking." Greed called back with a smirk. He knew this was going to piss me off, which is exactly why he was doing it. With a huff I turned around and slowed my pace to a walk with Samantha quickly rushing to my side. Luckily, I was still close enough to Ed, Al, and Greed to listen onto their conversation.
"I don't know how you deal with her Ling. She's so infuriating." Ed sighed.
"For the last time kid, my name is Greed." Greed reminded Ed irritably. "And she's actually not that bad. Once you get to know her, I bet you'll even want to be friends."
"I doubt that." Ed replied grouchily. I guess calling him short really got to him.
"Brother! It's not nice to talk about people like that behind their back!" Al cried guiltily even though he was doing nothing wrong.
"Yeah Ed! It isn't nice, especially if the person can hear you!" I shouted angrily as I kept walking.
"Well it's true!" He hollered.
"It's not like you don't have your own faults, Ed." I countered. And that shut him up; well at least I think it did because I didn't here him talk again. About a half hour later we were walking into a women's clothing store. Most of the stuff here was old; well old compared to my clothes, which reminds me: I had to give Greed his coat back and throw away my tattered clothes.
As I searched through the racks of shirts I noticed out of the corner of my eye a grass green tank top. I snatched the article of clothing in my hand, and once seeing that it was the right size, continued to go on shopping. By the time I had picked everything out I had found the grass green tank top, black jean shorts, a pair of black combat boots, a Soloist tailcoat jacket in black, black boxer shorts, and a simple black bra. I walked into the changing to try them on and found that everything fit perfectly.
When I walked up to the store clerk to buy my clothing I saw that Samantha had bought a white t-shirt, a dark green jacket, black jeans, flat black leather boots, white panties, and a white bra. We usually dressed simple, and having a lot of money for buying clothes was no exception. Once we bought everything we wanted I quickly changed my old, tattered clothes for my new clothes in the changing room. I handed Greed his coat back and threw my old outfit in the trash, save for the undergarments.
Ed had a look of irritation, probably from buying us clothes, but I ignored it. I was ecstatic about having a new outfit, especially one that looked fantastic on me. Once we were all out of the shop and I tackled Ed in a hug and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you so much Ed! I promise I won't call you short for the rest of the day!" I exclaimed happily as I let go of him. Ed's face was turning a bright red, probably from me kissing his cheek. When I stepped away from Ed, Greed grabbed me by the waist and yanked me closer to him. I looked up to the greedy homunculus and could see jealousy written all over his face. If I didn't know any better, I could've sworn it was Envy.
"Um, I think it's time for us to go." Ed spoke up with his hands in his pockets and his eyes looking down to the ground.
"Wait, where are you staying at?" I asked Ed before he left.
"At the Central Hotel, room 69." Ed answered as he and Al walked down the street in the opposite direction of us. I burst out laughing at his room number. It was just too funny to keep in.
Hahahahahahahaha! I have a dirty mind. Any way, if any of you want to know what a Soloist tailcoat jacket looks like type it into Google Image. Now go reveiw! Please?
