Actually, the clothes and other stuff description was pretty much a one-time thing, 'cause this fic is focused on Action, Humor, and Romance... I just did that so you'd get a general idea of what they look like. The only other time I might ever do that is when James and Sarah are in the mall, and I don't think I do that when they are, and if there's a uniform or dance outfits... Stuff like that.
Haley sighed, thanking God that her brother was at his friend's house. She smiled at James and Sarah, rushing past them to grab a coke and something to eat. She got the aforementioned items, turning to face her new friends.
"Hey, you guys want something to eat?" Haley asked, for she was starving.
Sarah and James shook their heads and followed her into a small red room to the left of the stairs. She plopped down on the tan ridged couch, picking up her blanket off the floor and wrapping it around herself. James and Sarah sat down on it gingerly.
Haley grinned, grabbing the remote and going to Channel 11. She offered a cracker to Sarah, who ate it daintily. Soon, a familiar tune began playing and Sarah and James were stunned to find themselves on the screen.
"What is that thing? And why are we on it?" James asked Haley suspiciously.
Haley frowned.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you. That's a television. We watch it for entertainment. Oh, you guys are cartoon characters, by the way. You're on this show called Liberty's Kids. Now are you sure you don't want a cookie?" Haley explained quickly.
Sarah gasped.
"So you people watch us do everything? Even bathing?" Sarah implored, alarmed.
Haley shook her head, shivering at the thought.
"Thank god they cut stuff like that out of cartoons," Haley breathed.
Sarah sighed in relief. Haley opened the coke and started drinking. The episode our friends were watching just happened to be the one with Paul Revere. Haley grinned maniacally, carefully watching her friends and the episode at the same time. The scenes unfolded and James looked rather afraid.
"Want a drink?" Haley asked, offering him her coke.
He nodded, grabbing the coke from her, and taking a long sip. Sarah grimaced. Haley rolled her eyes, accepting the coke back from James.
"It's not like his germs can kill me," Haley remarked, laughing.
Sarah shook her head.
"Well, actually, they might. I'm assuming that some diseases that were very prevalent in our time have died out in yours. If James is carrier of one, you could become deathly ill," Sarah lectured.
Haley rolled her eyes.
"It's just a soda. There's vaccinations against those kinds of diseases," Haley corrected.
Sarah rolled her eyes as Haley chugged down the rest of the soda. Soon, the episode ended, leaving Sarah and James very confused. Haley sighed, running into the kitchen for a second to check the time. It was four o'clock. Haley bit her lip, picking up a pad of paper and a pen.
"James! Sarah! We're going for a walk, so c'mere!" Haley screamed, scrawling a quick note in case her parents arrived before the task was done.
Sarah and James turned off the new-fangled contraption and raced to their friend.
"What now?" They asked in tandem, panting.
Haley raised her eyebrows, opening the garage door and walking out. Sarah and James followed.
"What are we doing?" Sarah asked, jogging to keep up with her fast pace.
Haley didn't answer, she merely increased her speed. She had to be down at the pool now! James and Sarah too kept running.
Haley skidded to a stop at the gates of the pool, where a man clad in a suit waited.
"Do you have the items?" He asked, annoyed.
Haley nodded, pulling out of the bag she carried with her James and Sarah's clothing and some other artifacts. The man gasped as he accepted the items.
"Why, these items look brand new! Where did you them from?" The man asked dully.
Haley shrugged, grinning.
"Family heirlooms. Now, could I please have that money?" Haley argued, holding out her hand.
He shrugged, handing her ten hundreds. Haley smiled, putting them in her pocket.
"I'm sure you can afford this. Simple plan for you. Just one thousand a day," Haley remarked, shrugging.
The collector nodded quietly, taking the items, hopping in his car and leaving. Haley sighed.
"Hmm, maybe we could rent you two an apartment? It would be hard to conceal you for such a long time," Haley contemplated.
James shook his head.
"I think it's best this way, don't you?" James argued.
Haley shrugged, beginning to think.
"Now who do I ask to take me to the mall? Because taking my dad's car and driving it, really not the safest thing to do. I'll call Melissa!" Haley exclaimed, to herself.
She then raced down the street, leaving James and Sarah in her dust. They sighed, muscles aching as they raced after their friend.
"James, it feels so strange to be wearing breeches!" Sarah remarked to her panting friend.
James frowned, shrugging.
"I wouldn't know," James muttered.
Sarah gave him a weird look and they stopped right before their friend. Haley smiled.
"Guys, just wait here a second. I'm going to arrange things with Melissa," Haley explained, running down the cul-de-sac to Melissa's house.
Sarah and James shrugged, shaking their heads.
"Hi-Melissa-can-I-ask-for-a-favor-please?" Haley asked quickly.
Melissa merely stared.
"Because-I-want-to-go-to-the-mall-but-my-parents-aren't-here-and-they'd-ask-too-many-questions-and-so-can-you-ask-your-mom-to-drop-me-off-there-with-you-and-it's-a-very-long-story! So can you?" Haley chanted.
Melissa nodded.
"Okay, be back down here with your money in ten minutes. We'll see a movie afterwards," Melissa ordered.
Haley nodded, running down to Sarah and James, beaming.
"We're going to buy ya'll some crap," Haley panted.
She waited there for around ten minutes before racing down to Melissa's. She pulled a cell-phone from her pocket and dialed as she was running.
"Hey, Mom, this is your one and only daughter. I'm calling to say that I've gone down to the mall with Melissa and some friends. I'll be back soon, okay?" Haley replied, as evenly as she could.
James and Sarah sighed in annoyance, chasing Haley. Haley waved at Melissa, grabbing James and Sarah's arms, dragging them with her.
"Who're your friends?" Melissa's mother questioned.
Haley looked to Melissa, who gave her a look.
"What?" Haley muttered under her breath, "I'm tired of talking."
Melissa rolled her eyes, sighed, and sulked. Sarah licked her lips, and James looked around the car, amazed at the technology.
"Oh, I'm Sarah Phillip and he's Jamie Hilton. We're new here and we really need to buy clothes. I promise you, Mrs., oh, I'm terribly sorry, I don't know your last name," Sarah introduced apologetically.
Melissa's mother smiled and waved it off.
"Oh, I'm Mrs. Nemecash, nice to meet you, Sara," Mrs. Nemecash said, smiling.
Sarah smiled at her and the car began moving. James jumped, bonking his head on the ceiling.
"Ouch!" James howled, rubbing his head.
Sarah giggled, Melissa and her mother laughed, and Haley smirked. Thirty minutes and several bumps on the head later, our friends arrived at the mall.
