~@~Faery~@~
~Chapter 7~
The guys all returned with bruises and some cuts, which were quickly taken care of, although Wufei was stubbornly saying he was fine.
"Hey! Let's go shopping!" Serena suggested.
"No!" Wufei said.
"Hn."
"......"
"Maybe..."
"Sure! Any excuse to hang out with some babes!"
They all giggled, except Selene, who just had a smile on her face.
"Well, c'mon then!" Serena shouted while the girls each started dragging guys out to go to the mall, except Selene who just followed quietly. Serena was dragging Duo and Heero, with Heero having a gun pointed to her head and glaring at her, which didn't faze her at all.
Mina drove a white convertible with Quatre in the passenger seat, Mina was flirting with him, and his face was turning bright red. Serena drove a jeep, with Duo in the passenger seat flirting with Serena, and she was flirting back. Heero was in the back glaring at the driving blonde, with Selene just sitting there contentedly with her eyes closed, feeling the wind go past. Hotaru was driving a black convertible with Trowa in the passenger seat, Hotaru was giggling at Wufei and Rei in the back arguing. Their argument stared over Wufei muttering about "onnas" and "injustice" and was going from subject to subject, running from who better, males or females, to what the best fighting strategy was.
When they finally got to the mall the boys were dragged again, this time inside.
"OOOH...look at that!" Mina pointed to a cream colored dress with yellow roses along the border of the square neck line. The straps were off-the-shoulder with no sleeves, and the dress would go all the way to the floor when worn.
"Don't we have to start school soon?" Serena asked.
"Yeah...and if they ever hold a dance...we can get our dresses and stuff now so we don't have to rush when the time comes!"
"Let's do it!"
"Not too bad of an idea..." Rei agreed.
"Sure, why not?" Hotaru said.
"I'm not going to object...you'd just force me to do it anyways," Selene said, looking at Serena.
"Yep! Now come on! Guys, you too, we could use a guys opinion," Serena called and winked.
"Stupid onnas..."
"Shut up perdedor!" Rei yelled.
Mina went to try on the dress that she noticed and when she came out all the girls agreed that she should get it. It was form-fitting until it reached her hips where it flared out to the long skirt.
"Ok, now...let's see if we can find Hotaru a dress..." Mina mumbled after she changed.
"Why me next?" Hotaru asked.
"Because, besides Selene, you're one of the hardest to get into a dress. This one is perfect! Go try it on!" Mina put the dress in her hands and pushed Hotaru to the dressing room.
When she came out all eyes were glued to her and Duo was yelling.
"NO WAY ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR THAT! NOT A CHANCE IN..." Serena quickly covered his mouth and told Hotaru that she loved the dress.
The dress was a deep purple and had, sort of, two sections. The top went down low enough so that only part of her midriff was showing before the skirt started. The top was attached to the skirt by two strands of amethyst beads on each side of the dress and the skirt went to her ankles and didn't flare too much, just enough to allow her to move.
"I actually do like it..." Hotaru admitted. "Even if only to bug Duo..." She laughed, running back into the dressing room before Duo could hurt her in any way.
"Now for Selene..." Serena said. "THIS ONE! Go. Now. Try."
Selene came out of the dressing room wearing a long silky, black dress. The sleeves were off the shoulder like Mina's, except that they were actual sleeves, at the elbow the sleeves flared out slightly. Around her waist there was a chain of obsidians, just as there were around the v-ed neck line.
"You look great!" Serena exclaimed.
"Gorgeous," Hotaru added.
"Now...let's get Rei one!" Mina yelled.
"How 'bout this one?" Hotaru asked.
"Perfect! Now, go try this on!"
Rei came out wearing a long red dress. The neck line was squared and low-cut, but not too low to be showing off too much. The sleeves flared at the wrists and had rubies around the edges of them.
"Great...now for Serena..."
Serena suddenly squealed and mad a dash for the dressing room, "I'll be out in a sec!"
When she came out, no one could say anything. The dress was silky and pure white. The sleeves had clear crystals around the top and the sleeves went down to form a point at her middle finger and there was fabric that wrapped around that finger like a ring. The dress was form fitting until it reached her waist and then flared out slightly. ((kinda like what her princess dress does))
"Wow..." Duo said.
"No kidding. Nice going Ser," Mina said.
"Thanks! Now, let me go change so we can buy these!"
They all went up to the cashier and bought their dresses.
"I'm hungry, is anyone else?" Serena asked.
"ME!!" Duo yelled. Every one else said that they weren't that hungry and would wait a while to get something to eat.
"Well, let's go then Duo. See ya guys in a bit!" The two walked off together to the food court.
"I'm gonna go to the bookstore. Anyone else wanna go?" Hotaru asked.
Trowa nodded his head, saying that he wanted to go as well.
"We're meeting in an hour right?"
"Yep. See ya then," Rei said.
"I'm gonna go to the music store," Mina said.
"Me to," Quatre said and the two walked off.
Rei started heading towards an antique type shop, "I'm gonna see if they have any old style weapons in there."
"What would make you think they'd have weapons onna?"
"Well, they have before." ((Actually, I've NEVER seen weapons at a mall...just go with me here...))
Wufei just followed her to the store to see for himself.
Selene and Heero just stood there for a while watching everyone go off to do what they wanted. Heero went to sit on a bench to wait for them while Selene went into a store. When she got back she had several bags of different candies. In one were ice cubes, a rich chocolate, ((REALLY GOOD!!)) in another were jelly beans, another had jaw breakers, and the last had chocolate chips.
Heero slightly raised an eyebrow and in monotone asked, "Candy?"
"Renity got me addicted to it," Selene answered with a small smile. "Want some?"
"Hn." He turned away and took out his laptop. Selene then saw a Hot Topic store ((THE BEST store in the world!!!)) and went to check it out. When she finally came out, after about forty-five minutes, she had several bags of clothes and other stuff. ((I wish I could do that...but I don't have the money...::sniff:: I'm gonna cry...))
~Food court~
Serena and Duo had been flirting the whole time they were there, and decided to actually get to know each other.
'I feel so comfortable around him/her.' They thought at the same time. ((You get it...right? Never mind...))
~Bookstore~
Hotaru and Trowa had the same interest in the same types of books and were constantly running into each other. Hotaru decided to try and actually talk to him. And, was sort of successful, he still didn't talk much, but more than he usually did.
'Could I actually be falling for him?'
'How is it that she makes me want to open up?'
~Music store~
Mina had asked Quatre about his love of music, and he asked her the same. She told him of her love of singing, and he told her of her love of instruments.
'I've like a lot of guys before...but this is different.'
'She's not like most girls...she's, somehow, special.'
~Antique store~
Wufei and Rei had been looking at different swords and daggers, each knowing a lot about them. And...surprisingly not fighting about which would be better...just fighting over other things.
'Maybe she's not such an annoying onna as I thought...wait...where did that come from?'
'Maybe he's not such a jerk...WAIT...YES he IS...what am I thinking...I'm so confused...'
~Bench outside Hot Topic~
The two sat in comfortable silence and Heero had put his laptop away eventually.
'She's different...sort of like me...but...not...'
'He's so distant...but for some reason...I want to get to know him...'
Ok...not much...well, in the romance department...but it's a longer chapter...I just didn't feel like writing anything that had much point to it...I have a HUGE headache...maybe if I weren't a klutz I wouldn't have gotten a concussion...hmm...I dunno...
WELL...REVIEW PLEASE!!!!
