Gelasia: *points in random direction through giant jungle*Onward I say! I must find the plot line before this story ends!
Kat: How can it end if you don't come up with a plot line?
Gelasia: That's not the point!
Kat: eh?! How is it not the point?!
Gelasia: LOOK! Maybe that's a plot line!
Kat: .. dear.. that's an anaconda ready to eat its prey, which I think is us.
Gelasia: oh .. darn.. I really was hoping that was the plot line.
Chapter 4: I don't like shopping.
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. Although in LA there is no snow, and you would more often see someone with a tank top on than a scarf, there's still the Christmas spirit in the air of shoppers shoving each other out of the way to get to the sales. The cars honking at other cars and yelling at them to get out of the way. The sickeningly sweet couples who cuddle with each other in public. Wait.. cancel the last two, that sounds like every day life.
Anyways, I was at a mall. Why? You ask. Christmas shopping. Although I already bought articles for my friends, there was the trouble of my best friend. I knew that she wasn't picky. So if I got her even a stupid slinky she'd be pleased and manage to enjoy it for the rest of the day, and put it on that desk of hers at work, that happens to be covered in almost every McDonald's toy ever made. Yes, including all 101 Dalmatians. So here I was, standing between Macy's and Auntie Aunt's pretzels.
I was trying to figure out where the nearest place that sold perfume was. I knew Serenity had a soft spot for perfume, and she loved the stuff that I found. Usually it was a sweet scent of gardenia, jasmine, or violets. She also loved vanilla. Something soft and innocent. I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out where to buy such a concoction of women's gunk.
I hated shopping. If there was one thing I truly despised... well.. no.. the thing I truly despise is fluffy idiotic bimbos, so.. if there was two things I truly despised.. well no.. I really do hate processed cheese.. bleech.. okay.. lets just put this simply. I don't like shopping. All the crowds of people who might at any moment turn and scream...
"OH LOOK ITS ENDYMION LETS RIP HIS SHIRT OFF TO ANNOY HIM AND GET A SOUVENIER!" I shuddered at the thought, and started at the ground, rushing quickly away from Auntie Aunt's pretzels and went down the hallway until...
"LOOK ITS ENDYMION THE FAMOUS-" AAAAAGH! Nooo!! I took off running. Thank god for exercise. Thank god for treadmills. Thank god I was tall enough to jump around people to escape the quickly growing stampede that raged behind me. I saw a corner and quickly raced around it, and into the first shop I could manage and quickly hid behind a display. The horde of screaming fan girls rounded the corner and looked around confused before shrugging and going off on their merry ways. I took a sigh of relief.
"Well.. well well.. what do we have here?" I spoke too soon before slowly turning around to see three beautiful girls staring at me.
One had short dark bluish hair, she was petit and looked timid. There were glasses over her light blue eyes, and she was wearing a modest long sleeved shirt and slacks. Next to her was a blond with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, a giant red bow in her hair, and a red skirt and matching shirt on. The one who spoke was a raven haired beauty with violet eyes, with a sense of a fiery temper. They were also known as the bunch, or half of the group. Serenity's half. What where they doing here?
"Thank god its you." I murmured, still being an absent minded idiot and not noticing what store I was in. Mina, the blond one, giggled.
"Why Endymion, I didn't know you had a thing for women's undergarments." My face grew pale as my eyes suddenly took in my surroundings. Someone up there didn't like me. I would enter.. the world of.. Victoria's Secret. On a later day I would ask myself, who is Victoria anyways? And what's this secret? But right then, I was too afraid to think clearly.
"Present." I stumbled over the word, as if something were caught in my throat. Raye, the dark haired one, looked at Mina, who looked at Amy who shrugged in return.
"One for a certain blond we know?" Raye asked, an evil glint in her eyes.
"We didn't know you were planning on lingerie this year Endymion. " Oh for the love of PETE. Since when will women's panties deprive me of speech? I will not allow myself to be made into a bumbling fool because I happened to walk into the very store that I wanted to stay out of! These girls would not drive me to my insanity! I stiffed my posture and glared at all of them at once, a very tiring and difficult thing to do.
"eeeggghhherlp...." I manged to spit out. I paused. What the hell did I just say? From the confused looks on the three girls, it was obvious they didn't get the meaning either. I had tried to say "I got chased in here by rabid fan girls." Eh heh.. this wasn't good. Oi.
"Well come on!" Mina shouted as if she were on a mission, "we'll choose the perfect underwear for our Serenity!" Amy and Raye grabbed my arms and dragged me after Mina, who started pulling... I blushed here.. leopard print stuff, and feathery stuff, and sheen stuff. Pink stuff. Let me out! Many times that day I tried to run away from the three girls and their suggestions. And many times they grabbed me and pulled me back, kicking and screaming the entire way. My mind started to tune out when Mina and Raye got into an argument over whether or not tiger stripes or leopard print was a sexier panty. I believe that is what saved my sanity.
Ladies and Gentlemen, four agonizing hideous horrendous hours later I regret to say I walked out of Victoria's Secret with two packages. One was the bottle of perfume I had been after, which the gang had finally allowed me to buy, the other was.. the blood rushed to my face just thinking about it., it was a spaghetti strap nighty, a stiff woven lace bodice that erupted into a sheer material, hemmed with white fur. It was dark red. The girls thought Serenity would love it. I thought I wouldn't last to see the day after Christmas once she got a hold of me. I managed to run to my car without having anyone recognize me, and I quickly drove home vowing to never ever ever go shopping again! Then I remembered, Serenity's birthday was in January.
Did I mention I hated shopping?
This one is a bit short.. gomen! *tee hee* I hope you didn't mind Amy, Mina and Raye as their names. I thought it'd sound kinda weird for the others. Also! Question for all of you! Should the guys be the generals, uh.. *pause* I think its Nephrite and Zoicite and Jedite and Malachite(are those right? I always get my Generals confused.. oi vey) or the whole Andrew, Greg, Ken, Chad thing? Or should I give them completely new names all together?! MWAHAHAHAH!
I'd just like every one to know I may come out with another chapter later today! But that is not for certain! I'm just totally hooked on finishing this story. It appears that it may be pretty short.. *squints eyes* and.. *gasp* whats that I see? a little glimpse of a plot line! WOW! ^_^ And don't worry.. Lita will show up later. Take a deep breath and control yourselves Lita Lovers(lol sounds like a club) She has a big dramatic opening. Next chapter.. the premier! MWAHWHAHA!
