Libby twitched her eyebrow.
"So, woman," began Wufei tartly, "I don't want to freeze here. I need clothes. I need pants. I need shirts. So, start helping!"
Libby was about to die from laughing.
"What's so funny? Why are you laughing?"
Between breaths she managed, "You... you have... you have clothes!" then she couldn't stop.
"I KNOW I have clothes," said Wufei just boarding annoyance.
She just snorted.
"Silence, woman!"
More laughing.
"QUIET!"

Thing's weren't going too well with the Quatre, Duo, Julie group either, but much better than the ::hair flick:: other one.
"Food! Baths!" smiled Duo happily screeching this message to people.
"That's right, Duo," said Quatre as if he was talking to an insane person.
"Yeah..." said Julie with an odd look on her face that was most laughable. "Well, let's start..."
"Okay!" agreed Duo.
"Sure," said Quatre.
"Alright," started Julie. "Which one do you want to start with?"
"Um..." stumbled Quatre.
"How about... Aw, heck, they're both so wonderful! Baths! Food! I can't choose! Why not... baths?
"Ooooookay... Let's look around for a place that has showers installed," suggested Julie.
The threesome looked around the mall with Quatre's pocket map in hand.

Heero and Eliza were a little more productive then the other two groups.
"Okay, beds," thought Eliza out loud.
"Yes, mission accepted," muttered Heero in a robot sounding voice.
"Alright, let's look for a place that sells beds in the map."
"Right," Heero agreed.
The two fingered thorough another mini map.
"There," said Heero pointing to a place called Home Comfort. "Second floor next to Dino Palmieri Salon."
"Okay, let's go," nodded Eliza playfully pulling on Heero's arm.
The two dashed up to the second floor and into the store.
* * *
Trowa and Lily were being about as productive as Heero and Eliza.
"Entertainment, hm?" reviewed Trowa.
"Ever heard of the word "entertainment", Trowa?" Lily asked snickering.
"Of course," replied Trowa, "it means something that interests or amuses you. Webster's definition for it is-"
"Enough!" she said knocking him on the head.
A few minutes later he rubbed his head and muttered "ow".
"Most of the kid's toy stores shall work... Maybe we can just visit a nice wine/beer store, something with alcohol, get someone REALLY drunk, and then make them dance for our amusement. Entertainment, ne?" Lily chipped.
Trowa made a small chuckle that made Lily proud.
* * *
Libby was still laughing.
"What's so funny, woman?" Wufei yelled.
"Clothes..." she managed to say between outbursts of laughter. She was crying after 20 minutes since she had laughed WAY too hard.
Wufei muttered something about women being stupid. About five minutes later Libby finally got a grip on things.
"Okay," she said sighing.
"Clothes," he reminded her testily. She chuckled which was followed by a glare from Wufei.
"Alright. The mad has department stores, women's clothes, men's clothes, and kid's clothes. Let's visit each store and see which are the best."
Wufei nodded. The two walked over to the first store, Dillard's, in silence, Libby trying very hard not to laugh.
* * *
Julie, Quatre, and Duo had found the store (the ONLY store) that they would take baths in. It was called "Mario's International Spa".
"I LIKE it here!" exclaimed Duo starting to take off his shirt.
Quatre blushed and turned away. Julie just blushed and, well, continued staring.
While shielding his eyes Quatre said, "Um... Duo... I don't think we're taking showers now and could you please, um, dress yourself."
Duo started unzipping his pants.
"Okay, let's go!" exclaimed Quatre re-zipping Duo's pants and shoving the black T-shirt back on the Maxwell boy. Quatre was deep red in color. Julie sighed, smiled, and looked up at the ceiling.
"Next topic!" piped Quatre too cheerfully. He was sweat dropping.
Quatre pushed the two out of the store as fast as he could and chatted rather quickly as he went.
* * *
Eliza and Heero entered the store. Eliza sighed.
"Urgh. There's only four beds!" she whined.
"We'll have to share," Heero psychotically murmured.
"Share?" Eliza had a look on her face that made her look like a cross between a puppy and Dilandau.
"Yeah. Hn. You really talk a lot. You remind me of Duo," said Heero as if that was an insult. Eliza just smiled.
"Well, it's fun to talk. You really should try it more."
"Hn."
"I think we should assign people to beds soon," Eliza suggested as she bounced on the softest and biggest. She smirked. "I SO call this one."
* * *
Trowa and Lily were making great progress, of course.
"I believe the best stores for the use of entertainment would be Discovery Channel Store, The Disney Store, Imaginarium, and the Store of Knowledge."
"Yeah," Lily agreed. "And if any of us gets bored there I'm sure there's SOME alcohol around here!" she winked at him and he smiled back.
"Right," he said with a nod. "Why don't we go meet up with another group now? See how they are and maybe we can have a meeting."
"Okay."
The duo walked down and set off to find some more people.
* * *
Wufei and Libby had visited most of the clothes stores and circled the ones they thought to be the best. So far they had Dillard's, Nordstrom, Abercrombie & Fitch, GAP, Guess, and Limited.
"I think we're done," said Libby then added giggling, "and I think we can get you clothes now."
Wufei cast her a death glare and she was quieter.
The twosome kept walking in silence until Libby spoke.
She asked, "Do you love her?"
"Who?"
"Julie," she responded calmly.
They kept walking in silence.
"Well?" Libby asked.
"Well what?" Wufei snapped.
"Do you love Julie?"
"Meh."
"Say "yes" or "no"!"
The silence continued.
"Just answer me," sighed Libby.
"Well, I hate the way she harasses me, and attacks me, and hugs me, and... Oh, she's pretty strong for a woman."
Libby smiled back at the Chang boy and kept up their silent walking.
* * *
"Yay! Food!" cheered Duo.
"Yup!" cried Quatre.
"That's right, guys, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Coffee Mill, Sweet Factory, Great Steak and Potato, Johnny Rockets, McDonalds, and much, much more."
With each word Duo's eyes widened.
"Yay!" he whooped.
"But who will make it?" asked Quatre.
The three were quiet.
"Us," Julie finally said.
"Oh," Duo calmed down at this. "We'll get... Trowa to make it!" he chuckled at how ingenious he was which brought a spring to his step.
Julie and Quatre sighed, looked at each other, shrugged, and walked on.
"Hey, want to meet up with another group?" asked Julie.
"Sure," agreed Duo. "Hey, maybe we can get Trowa to cook for us!" He smiled then skipped off.
