Chapter 14: Shopping: Part V: (Finally) The Dress

To shut him up, Caleia bought Yaku a new pair of jeans. The group then continued their quest (*Kifa*: It's a qwest now!) Mokuba dragged them into an expensive-looking boutique

The saleslady there seemed to know Mokuba, probably because this is where Seto and him get dress clothes made. Mokuba told her their little dilemma with finding a dress for Caleia.

"Oh! You've come to the right place," the saleslady said cheerily. "What kind of dress are you planning to get?"

"A gown," Mokuba answered for Caleia.

"Great, and when do you need it by?"

"Saturday," Mokuba again answered.

"Saturday!" the lady exclaimed, "You've come to late to get one made, then; but we have some already made ones, and you're welcome to go through those. They're right over here," she said as she led them to a back room. "The fitting room's right over there, take your time."

"Thanks," Caleia finally got a word out before Mokuba. The saleslady bowed to them before she left to go back to the front of the store.

"Ok! Let's get started, shall we?" Yami stated as he started flipping through dresses.

"Agreed," everyone else said as they began looking, too.

Having been to a few stores now, they all had somewhat of a feel for what might actually look good on Caleia. This having been said, Caleia didn't have to try on quite so many dresses.

*time lapse*

There were four dresses that Caleia had narrowed it down to. She decided to let the others argue it out of which one to buy. It took about 5 minutes before Mai backed down and they narrowed it to 3-- but of course, boys are stubborn(heehee), so after that, not much progress was made.

It was almost purely an argument of colors. Mokuba insisted on red, Yaku on gold, and Yami, predictably, on black. If somebody didn't do anything soon, it was likely that Yami and Yaku would kill Mokuba and then duel to the death in a Shadow Game to decide.

Ignoring the arguing boys, Caleia and Mai went through more dresses, hoping to find something they would all agree on.

"Ooooh..." Caleia said quietly as she found a candidate. It was strapless and black, with a pattern of gold-outlined, red roses diagonally down the front. Without the boys noticing, she showed Mai, who nodded in approval, then took the dress into the fitting room to try on.

It fitted her almost perfectly. The smooth satin ripple as Caleia turned around to look at herself in the mirror. Only then did she realize that the black dress had a red undertone. With one hand she traced one of the intricate roses, marveling at its, and the dress as a while, simple yet magnificent design.

"You're is so ugly!" Yaku half-shouted at Yami.

"You stupidhead! Are you blind or just brainless?" (heehee...stupidhead is a funny word) Yami shouted back.

"You're both morons!" Mokuba interjected.

"And you're too young to know hat's actually good!" both yamis retorted. The argument continued.

"Hey, guys," Caleia called as she stepped out of the dressing room. They didn't pay attention. "GUYS!" she shouted above their squabbling. They still didn't pay attention. Taking off a shoe, she flung it at them, hitting Yaku on the side of the head. The three shut up immediately and turned to see what was happening.

"What the fuck was that for--oh my!" Yaku said as he prepared to fling the shoe back at Caleia. Obviously, he didn't get a chance to release the shoe. The three boys gaped at Caleia.

"I think I like this dress, what do you guys think?" Caleia asked.

"It's umm--umm--it's--"Yami tried to say.

"Gorgeous--" Mokuba said

"Stunning--" Yaku added.

"Perfect just about sums it up, eh?" Mai asked at last.

"Yeah, that's it," Yami agreed. There was a minute o silence or so, then Caleia let out a breath.

"Thank Ra! You guys actually agreed. We're all saved!" Caleia said exasperatingly. Mai and Mokuba laughed, but Yami and Yaku looked insulted.

"Well, we're just strong in our opinions," Yami retorted. Caleia shrugged it off.

"Whatever, I'm just happy we finally found a dress," she said as she went back in the fitting room to change back into her clothes.

They took the dress out front to pay, and so the saleslady rang it up. The price nearly caused Caleia to faint.

"It's THAT much!" she exclaimed.

"Well, you have to pay for style and quality," the saleslady said

"I can't afford this!" Caleia exclaimed. The saleslady looked disappointed that she didn't sell the dress.

"No sweat," Mokuba chirped in, brightening everyone's' faces. Caleia looked at him questioningly. He explained. "You don't think Seto let me come along empty-handed and unprepared, did you?" He flashed out Seto's platinum Visa card. "He gave m this right before we lift."

"Ooooooh..." Mai awed as she looked at the pretty card.

"WEll, I guess Kaiba's not as dumb as we think," Yami said simply. Mokuba glared at him for insulting Seto, but was ignored.

Mokuba paid for the dress, then the group proceeded to leave the mall after the eventful evening. Caleia inwardly cursed herself as she suddenly remembered all her tests tomorrow, but said nothing to the others.

Mai said goodbye first, heading to the parking garage to get her car. Mokuba phoned his chauffeur to pick them up.

They dropped off Yami and Yaku, then went to Caleia's house.

"Thanks," Caleia--thanked--- Mokuba as she got out. "That was fun, and I got most my shopping done. Thanks for helping me."

"No sweat," Mokuba said. "You don't have any shoes or accessories yet, do you? No matter, don't worry about it. I still have Seto's visa, and he'll probably forget to ask me for it, so don't worry."

"Uhhh.... ok, thanks, but don't spend too much of Seto's money," Caleia said.

"Don't worry, I love him too much to spend TOO much of it," Mokuba chuckled. "See you Saturday."

"Umm... okay, see ya Saturday." The limo pulled away and Caleia walked into her house with all the things she had bought.

***********************************************************************

*Seto*: *face drains* where's Mokuba.......Mokuba!

*everyone watches him look for Mokuba*

Kirsta: this is very interesting.

*Serashi*: even if he finds Mokuba he's not gonna find his card

Kirsta: and why is that?

*Serashi*: *flashes out lil silver card* I'm not a good friend of Mokuba's for nothing. *everyone eyes her* Just kidding. Mokuba wanted to pull a big joke on Seto and keep it away from him.

Kirsta: oh! heeheee. *giggle* this'll be fun. I wanna help!

*Annya*: me too!

*everyone says same thing, too lazy to type it*

Kirsta: fun fun... *eyes distressed Seto*
