"One week till Christmas and I STILL can't find something for her."Toad moaned walking through the mall,"I need to find her the perfect gift."
"Talking to yourself again Frogger?"
He spun around to see a smirking Vega behind him,"What do you want?"
"Is that any way to talk to your teammate, especially one that can help you find the perfect gift for Wanda?"
He went wide eyed at her words,"Since when do you care?"
"Just cause I torment you doesn't mean I hate you. Besides, I'm sick of hearing you grumbling and complaining in your sleep."Vega said dryly, sitting down on the edge of a nearby fountain,"Sometimes hightened senses are a pain."
"You can hear that well?"
"Ja, oh god I'm talking like Kurt again."
"Yeah, I noticed. So, you gonna help me or not?"
"Wanda's gonna kill me for this, fine."
She led him to a shop in the back of the mall. It was dark, the smell of incense was strong in the air. There were tarot cards decks, candles, incense, stuff Toad really didn't want to know the name of, and other stuff. she led him to the back of the store where there was a glass case full of jewlery. She pointed to one of the necklaces, it was a red orb with a black spider holding it on a black chain.
"Wow, where'd ya find this place?"
"I come here alot to get herbs and that junk, with how much you guys are getting hurt, I have to come here alot. I help out telling fortunes and doing readings and get payed incandles, incense, and herbs."Vega said flatly,"I can get you a discount on it, but it'll still be about fifty bucks, that a real ruby in it, think you can come up with the money without stealing it?"
"Yeah, probably, not that's I'll have much luck getting a job....."
"Grr, I guess I could pull some strings and get you a job somewhere in this crazy place, everyone knows me."
"Hey Nightshade."a woman said walking up to them, her waiste length black hair playing in her face.
"Luna, can I get you to do me a favor and hold that ruby spider necklace?"
She looked at Toad for a moment,"This must the love-struck boy you and Scarlet talk about, you're helping him?"
"Sometimes having hightened senses can be a real pain in the neck, I haven't got a decent night's sleep in two weeks thanks to him, besides, mabey he'll shut up for awhile."Vega laughed,"Did I mention stupid needs a job?"
"Wanda's had her eye on this necklace for awhile, she'll love it, wait, did you just say he needs a job?"
"Ja, oh god not again."
"Talking like the fuzz ball again I see, I can help with the job thing, I think they need some help over at the movie theatre."
"As long as no one sees me."Toad sighed,"The things a guy does for love."
This comment received rolled eyes from both girls.
~*~Two hours later at the theatre~*~
Toad is in the projection booth arguing with a movie. Vega's sitting in a corner laughing.
"The things I do for love."he moaned trying to get the reel to stay put.
"Yeah, right, try putting the reel in the right spot."
"Oh, there."
"Good, now start the movie."
The first few minutes went well, the movie, The Ring (VERY awesome movie), scared Toad out of his wits. Vega was too busy to notice, she was watching Duncan Matthews on a date with Jean, and it wasn't going so well. Then, the movie started jumping. Vega turned back to Toad, who had been chasing a fly around, and gotten his tongue stuck in the projector, in a bad spot. The scene was where they found the first girl who'd watched the movie, the one who they found in a closet or something like that. This made half the audience scream for some odd reason. It really didn't help that slime was starting to drip down from Toad's tongue, causing a sickening affect on the screen.
"Idiot."Vega mumbled pulling the strugling boy's tongue out.
The movie went back to playing, and got to the end this time, much to Vega's releif. She had taken over while Toad had nursed his mouth. She let out a small snicker.
"It's all your now, see you at midnight."she said, walking out.
"I'm doing this for Wanda,"he whispered,"I'm donig this for Wanda, I'm doing this for Wanda, I'm doing this for Wanda."
He continued repeating this all night till he got home, collapsed on the couch, and slept till noon.
The last thing he said was,"Four days to go."

Authoress:I'm on a writing spree, yeesh.
Yuga:Yeah, that's two chapters today.
Vega:I really don't want to know what she's got planned next
