Author's Note: my laptop charger has been found! Woohoo. Gottaluvlife, I like your reviews. And yes. Darn them Canadian boys for being so cute. AND IM GLAD YOU LIKE THE EXPRESSION, OH MY GOLDSWORTHY. I probably wasn't the first one to say it, but I like it anyway :D and sadly, BakaOtaku14, ELIS MINE. :P :D ahahaha. Well. Here is their adventure. Might be kind of short again because I'm hungry.
Eli's POV
I left last period early so I could wait by the hearse. No, I didn't just walk out of the class. I asked to use the bathroom like 3 minutes before class ended, so the teacher told me to bring my stuff with me.
I wanted to be able to leave as soon as possible. This adventure would be better than our first, because we're dating now. So much better…
Clare came running out of the school and got right into the car. I could tell she was just as excited as me.
We got in the car, and she said, "17."
"Excuse me?"
"That's the number that I pick this time."
"You're supposed to pick a number 5-15."
"Too bad, I want to go farther away this time."
"Fine, I guess you're in charge. Watch the clock!"
Clare's POV
I did as he told me. I don't know why I picked 17. We'd be over a half hour away by the time we finished, but it didn't matter. I just wanted to be with Eli. We could have been two minutes away and it wouldn't have made a difference.
It just seemed like farther away would be better.
"Turn! It's been 17 minutes."
"Okay Clare!" I wonder where Morty would take us today. Hopefully somewhere fun. It would be kind of hilarious if we ended up in the middle of nowhere though.
"One more minute. Almost there!" We were in some sort of shopping district. There were stores everywhere. Eli pulled over in front of some store. It was called. '20's and up.'
Was it clothes for people 20 years old and up? That's kind of odd, maybe they don't let kids in or something.
"Are we gonna be allowed in? It sounds like it's only for adults." Oh God, what would they have in there?
"I don't think that's what they mean by '20's'. Look in the window." There was vintage clothes on some mannequins in the store window.
Oh. So that's what it meant. Clothes from the 1920's and up. Vintage clothes shopping with Eli, this could be very fun.
It turned out to be more like dress up than actual shopping. There was one store clerk, probably the owner. She was an old woman who looked really happy to see us.
"Honey, we have customers!" An old man came from the back room.
"Well hello there kids, what brings you here?" I didn't know what to say, and Eli knew it. So he did the talking.
"Well actually, we just kind of started driving because we wanted an adventure, and we ended up here."
"How cute! Harriet, do you remember when we used to do things like that?"
"Yes, Raymond, I do. What fun times those were. Well you kids have fun! Look around. Tell us if you need any help."
Good thing I always kept my camera in my purse. I had a feeling that there were going to be some funny pictures in our future.
Eli's POV
The store had some weird clothes. I actually liked a few of the jackets, but some of the stuff was totally out there.
Especially the things that Clare tried on. She tried on some flapper outfit. It looked like she stepped right out of the 20's. Her hair fit the era perfectly.
She handed me her camera and motioned for me to take a picture. She posed as if she was an actually flapper. I'm glad she picked the number 17, because this was going to be a great afternoon.
I tried on a gray suit with a fedora and she took a picture of me. She put on some really fancy gown and it looked like we could be going out for a night on the town.
"We need a picture of us together! Ask the lady." Clare was so shy. So I'd have to talk to all of the strangers that we'd meet.
"Uh, excuse me, but would you mind taking a picture of us?"
"Of course honey! You two are so cute. Now, is that your girlfriend?"
"Yes, it is."
"You're adorable together. Picture time!"
We posed together like we thought a couple in the twenties might. Then we tried on other clothes. Everything, no matter how weird or ugly it was, looked good on Clare. She handed me a button down shirt that was a light lavender.
"Seriously Clare? You want me to wear that."
"Yes. Go put it on."
Well, someone is being demanding today. I guess I had to do it. I put it on and it looked ridiculous. She could of at least picked a manlier color.
Clare's POV
He looked adorable with the light purple shirt on. It was a feminine color, but it was a men's shirt! He looked pissed off when he walked out of the dressing room, so I snapped a really fast picture.
"CLARE, NO. I DON'T WANT PROOF THAT I WORE THIS SHIRT!"
"Too bad, Eli, I like it."
He tried to grab the camera from me but I wouldn't let him have it. When he knew he had been defeated, he grabbed something for me to try on.
It was one of those really old bathing suits that were more like shorts and a shirt. It was black and white striped. I guess I had to put it on, even though it looked ridiculous.
I didn't want to come out of the dressing room because I felt like a pin up girl! But I had to. I mean, he wore a light color.
"Clare, you look amazing."
"Oh shut up. This is ridiculous. Now take a picture so I can go change!". He did as I told him to.
I looked at my phone and it was 6pm, so I just put on my normal clothes. Eli must have had the same idea because he had his skinny jeans and band tee back on. He was holding a black blazer that looked like it should belong to him.
"You buying that?"
"Yeah, I really like it. And I need a new blazer anyway."
Harriet cashed out Eli and smiled at us.
"Thanks for shopping here, come again, please! It looked like you guys had fun."
As we walked out, I heard her husband say something to her.
"Young love. I'm glad to see that not all of our youth is corrupted. Those were some nice kids."
That put a huge grin on my face.
Author's Note: so that wasn't short! I thought it would be, but the words just kept going and going. I had to stop myself when I realized I was already on page 4…XD but I think that this was a cute idea. When I started the chapter I still didn't know where they would end up, then I thought they could go shopping. And I like vintage clothes, and it seems like Clare could look like the was from the 20's, so it was a good idea. I could also see Eli being into vintage stuff. So, review! Tell me what you thought. I know they didn't really have any romantic stuff, but they had a ton of fun, so that's good too. And it was cute. :D reviiiiiiiews! Xoxoxosteffff. AND I BROKE 40,000 WORDS! I'm so proud of myself.
