Frosty Flake and the Gorgeous Kitsune

Chapter 3- Botan's Impending Date

Botan had finally come around to standing up.

Suddenly she was jerked back into reality.

"My clothes! What should I wear? It's my first date…not including Koenma…who would have rather had me prance in naked. The nerve of that guy."

Botan ruffled through her drawers throwing things everywhere. She found the perfect shirt to wear, formfitting of course.

She then moved to the closet and found a nice skirt, blue with flowers.

She set them out for tomorrow.

She was now dreadfully bored.

"I need something to do. Hey I'll ask Keiko and Yukina if they want to go to the mall. Shizuru could drive us." she said as she picked up the phone. She dialed Keiko and waited.

Botan and Keiko's phone conversation

Keiko: Yukimura residence, Keiko speaking.

Botan: Oh, hi Keiko. I was wondering if you would like to go to the mall this afternoon.

Keiko: Sure. Who's driving?

Botan: Shizuru…but she doesn't know yet.

Keiko: Shizuru? Cool. Anyone else coming?

Botan: Yukina maybe.

Keiko: Okay…but I don't think she's ever been to a mall before.

Botan: Never? Well, she'll have been to a mall by the end of today. I'll make sure of that.

Keiko: Yep. Ok, talk to you later Botan. Hey wait. What time?

Botan: How's half an hour? That ought to give me time to call Yukina and Shizuru. They'll be ready by then.

Keiko: Okay! Bye. *click*

Botan had Yukina's number on speed dial. She hit "speed dial 1"

Botan and Yukina's Phone conversation

Yukina: Hello.

Botan: Hi Yukina. I was just wondering if you'd like to go to the mall in about half an hour with Keiko and me.

Yukina: *silence*

Botan: Are you there? Yukina?

Yukina: Uh…Yes. I'm here. Botan?

Botan: Uh huh?

Yukina: What's a mall?

Botan: *almost drops the phone* Oh yeah. I forgot what Keiko said. It's a place where you go shopping sweety. Anyway, Shizuru will pick you up shortly. See ya then.

Yukina: All right. Bye Botan. *click*

Botan sighed.

"One more call. If Shizuru backs out I don't know what I'll do." She said as she eagerly pressed buttons.

Botan and Shizuru's phone conversation

Pizza Hut worker: Hello. Pizza Hut. What can I do for you?

Botan: Oops. I'm sorry. I must have dialed the wrong number.

She dialed the number again.

Botan and Shizuru's REAL phone conversation

Shizuru: *gruffly* Hello?

Botan: Hi Shizuru.

Shizuru: What do you want?

Botan: *gulp* I was wondering if you would mind driving Keiko Yukina and I to the mall in a bout half an hour…

Shizuru: *sigh* I suppose I have nothing better to do.

Botan: Yay. Thanks. Do you know where Yukina lives?

Shizuru: Are you kidding? Do you think my kid brother would let me live my life without knowing where his "future wife's" house is?

Botan: *laughs* I guess not. Well, see you then.

Shizuru: Yeah. *click*

Botan sighed, happy she had her day planned. Finally Shizuru and everyone else came and she got into the car and was at the mall shortly after that. It was about lunchtime so they grabbed a bunch of hotdogs only after Yukina had asked what a hotdog was of course.

They finished up and Botan pointed the way to OLD NAVY. Right outside the store the girls overheard a 5-year-old boy's conversation with his mother.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Today when the teacher bent over to help me with my schoolwork, one of her lungs fell out."

The girls had to laugh. Heck, they were laughing so hard they barely had enough strength to enjoy the store. Eventually they calmed down enough to look at some of the clothes.

Yukina wasn't really interested. She preferred kimonos. There was a specialty kimonos store right across so Shizuru brought her there to help her pick out one to buy. She and Yukina had developed a certain relationship both being connected to Kuwabara.

Keiko and Botan were still at OLD NAVY. Botan found a cute pair of jeans to buy and Keiko, well, Keiko found a cute pear of underwear with a bra that had smiley faces, but that was about it.

They left OLD NAVY and they found Yukina and Shizuru waiting for them at the entrance of the store. They left the mall, bags in hand.

"Well, I had a great time." Botan said.

Everyone else nodded.

"Thank you for inviting me." Yukina said.

Botan smiled.

"No problem."

They all got into the car and started driving home.

"By the way, when you guys get home. Make sure to get on the net." Botan told them. They nodded, not sure why.

Botan was the last one dropped off.

"Thanks Shizuru." She yelled as the car sped away.

She hurriedly went inside and set her stuff down. She grabbed the computer chair and sat in it.

"Time to tell everyone." She said as she logged on.

She got into an AOL chatroom and found everyone there.

Botan signed off. It was almost bedtime already.

'Time really does fly when you're having fun.' Botan thought.
