FASH: Here we are, poor Keely, being dragged into going shopping.

"I refuse to go shopping." Keely stated unemotionally, glaring at the girl in pink, as if she was challenging her to try and change her mind.
"But Keely! What kind of girl doesn't like shopping?" Mariah whined. "Me." Keely answered back as she sat down on a chair completely ignoring the other occupants of the room.
"Lee." Mariah had moved over and was now whispering into his ear. "Drag Keely to the mall, please?" Mariah gave him the puppy dog eyes, but Lee just gave her a look. "If I wanted to drag a thrashing girl to the mall with me, and then get beaten up for doing so, I would have done so already." Mariah pouted and thought for a while on something that would influence Lee into making the 'right' decision. "I'll get Keely to try on bathing suits." And no sooner than she finished saying that when Lee smirked at her. 'Deal." Her said, getting up and moving over to where Keely was sitting. "What do you want?" She asked, rather rudely. "To go to the mall." Keely looked up at him with wide eyes as the lion pounced. (What possessed me to say that? --)
"Let. Me. GO!" Keely was once again thrashing around, actually, the thrashing had been non-stop since they left the house. "Keely, it's just a mall." Mariah said, she and lee were both holding on to one of Keely's hands. "And you're making a scene." Lee replied as he tugged on Keely's wrist. "Does it look like I care?" Keely asked in a dangerously low voice. Lee sighed. 'Yep, after this she's going to either kill me, never talk to me again, or forget last night ever happened, why did I do this again?' The picture of Keely in a black bikini entered his mind. 'Oh yea. That's how I was dragged into this.' There was a silly grin on his face and Keely was thrashing less and less, it seemed he resigned to her fate, although it now looked like they were leading her up death row.
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure Mariah will go off on her own after you deny yourself entrance into the first few stores she picks out." Lee said, trying to lighten the girls' spirits, Keely just lifted her head and glared at him. 'When I get free, I'm going to pulverize him!'
"Look there it is!" Mariah sighed dreamily and Keely raised her eyebrows. 'For an isolated village, they sure have a decent mall.' It was two stories high and around the size of the school, and there were tons of teens flocking in and out of it. 'Is that all people do around here? Shop? I'll never fit in, good.' Lee was wondering why Keely had a sadistic smile on her face. 'She's probably planning different ways to kill me.' And then he heard a voice call his name.
"Lee!" A boy from Lee's class, Rai, came running down to meet them. "Want to bay battle me?" He asked, huge smiled on his face, Lee was going to say yes, but he turned to Keely who had a smirk on her face. "Go ahead, I won't run away." She said innocently as she batted her eyelashes, Lee gave her and odd look, then looked over at Kevin and Gary, the look clearly said, restrain her. Lee lat go and Keely was about to wrench her other hand from Mariah's grip, when Kevin grasped her used to be free hand, she looked behind her and Gary was blocking the back, so they only way she could go was forward. 'Well this is a depressing situation, I have to shop, with Mariah.' Keely shuddered at all the pink possibilities, once you got over the pink obsession and glomping, Mariah was okay, but Keely did not like pink, or being glomped.
"Go Galeon!" Keely's eyes were drawn over to where a small crowd had formed, in the center of that crowd was Lee and Rai. 'Well at least this might amuse me for a second or two.' A blue blade flew out of the beyblade dish. 'Or none, I could always stay un amused.'
Lee came back, smile on his face which grew wider when he saw that Keely was still being 'restrained.' "Let's go." He said, taking hold of Keely's hand once more and dragging her into the 'accursed' mall.
Mariah was trying her best to drag Keely into a bunch of girly stores where the main colour theme seemed to be pink, but Lee and the others just settled to watch the pink haired girl try and get the tri coloured hair girl to go places with her. Mariah didn't have enough strength to pull Keely anywhere without Lee, and Keely's boots were great at gripping at the smooth floor.
Mariah was currently ogling a store and before she could even say anything. "Mariah, I am not going into a store that has frilly pieces of cloth in the display window." Mariah sighed, this was not going the way she hoped, sure, she didn't expect Keely to take one look at a store and decide that shopping was great, but she wanted the girl to go into at least one store, then she remember the store at the very end of the mall, Mariah never went into it, most people didn't, but it seemed to suit Keely. 'Come on, I know a store you might like." Mariah said cautiously as she slowly began walking towards the back of the mall.
"You took me to a goth store?" Keely asked, amusement twinkling in her eyes, she looked like she would fall over from keeping her laughter in check. Everyone was giving her weird looks, Keely turned and smiled, a really big, one hundred watt smile that made the White Tigers believe that the apocalypse was coming. "Let's go in!"
Keely went into the store like she belonged, which it kind of looked like she did, Mariah went in nervously and the guys walked in and looked around, man it was dark in there.
Keely was talking to the girl at the counter, Karrie, the girl had hair dyed black with various dark blue highlights, and a pair of scythe earrings, add on the all black outfit and she looked like a female version if death. They were currently discussing the pros and cons of getting a tongue ring.
"Do you have one?" Keely asked, the girl smirked and stuck out her tongue, sure enough there was a bar going through the tongue, Mariah looked like she was going to faint.
"Awesome." Keely commented, and once Keely started asking what it cost to get a tongue ring, Lee started dragging her away, but not before Keely promised t visit sometime.
"Well, at least now I have a reason to go to the mall." Keely said as she looked back at the dark store with a whimsical sigh. 'Well, so long as she's in a good mood, it's time to go the bathing suit section.' Lee looked over at Mariah, who seemed to know what he was thinking and nodded, and they lead the unknowing Keely the upstairs floor.
FASH: Well, it seemed like Keely's made a new friend, and will Keely be forced to model swim suites for Lee?
