Flushdance: Part 1
"Hmm these shoes still aren't tall enough" said Yami as he observed the massive black platform boots with buckles on his feet "Do you have anything taller?". "But sir those shoes are seven inches high!" exclaimed the shoe salesgirl as she eyed the shoes Yami wore "Don't you think they're tall enough?". "I'll tell you when they're tall enough!" snapped Yami who didn't like to be questioned about his taste in shoes "Now do you have anything taller or not?". Yami was still in search of the perfect platform boot but so far he had tried on dozens of pairs and he still hadn't found one he liked. "I'll see if I can find a pair" said the salesgirl as she looked at the huge pile of platform boots that Yami had tried on.
"I can't believe some of these customers!" growled the salesgirl as she made her way into the back to the stockroom "They're absolutely horrible!". "That's nothing compared to her!" said the salesman as he pointed to an all too familiar blonde clad in VERY short shorts "She always comes here, tries on dozens of shoes, and never buys anything!".
"Hurry up with those stilleto boots!" shouted Mai as she held a black platform stilleto boot in her hands "I haven't got all day you know!". After getting her nails done, Mai decided to roam the mall in search of the latest fashions. "Looking good takes time" thought Mai as she played with her hair while she waited for the boots "So I guess Varon's new little girlfriend must pay no attention to her appearance". She then chuckled to herself but this was soon over when the salesman who had been helping her came back. "Sorry Miss but we're all out the black stilleto boots" lied the salesman since he hadn't even gone to look for them "We've been out of them for days"
SLAP
"That's a lie and you know it!"shouted Mai after she slapped the salesman across the face "If you've been out of them for days what do you call what he's wearing?. Mai immediately pointed in the direction of the nearest mirror and surely enough there stood Yami wearing the same platform stilleto boots that she wanted.
"These are the tallest shoes you've got?" said Yami with a puzzled look on his face as he looked down at his feet "But these are women's boots!". "Well you said you wanted tall boots right?" said the salesgirl with a smug look on her face "You didn't specify for what sex though". Yami turned several shades of red before quickly pulling the boots off, picking up the black platform boots with buckles, and paying for them very quickly. "If anyone found out about this my reputation would be ruined" thought Yami to himself as he hastily made his way to the door "Thank Ra none of Yugi's friends were around".
"I'll take my business elsewhere!" shouted Mai as she looked at the salesman "Since you're obviously not willing to help me!". The salesman had a triumphant smile since he was about to get rid of the customer from Hell. All of this changed though when Mai noticed him smiling over his "victory". She then kicked him in stomach, slapped him across the face once again, and slapped him with her purse. "Let that be a lesson to you!" shouted Mai as she pulled her purse back onto her shoulder "No one messes with Mai Valentine!". She then stormed out the door of the store and headed towards the nearest escalator.
"It's days like these that make me want to go back to scooping poop at the pet shop" groaned the salesman as he clutched his stomach "At least I had my dignity..."
After a rather large shopping spree at the Home Shopping Network store, Raphael's credit cards were completely maxed out so he had no choice but to stop shopping. "I guess I should have just gotten one musical blender" thought Raphael as he hauled at least thirty to fifty bags in his arms "But it's a good idea to have a backup in case one breaks". He then got on an escalator heading up to another floor and when he reached the top he dropped all of his bags in complete shock. There stood a store called "Ahhs" which was filled from end to end with weird, colorful, and downright useless junk that only appealed to weirdos...and Raphael. Raphael's eyes lit up like a little kid in a candy store as he stood in front of the store, but then he realized he was broke. "I NEED MORE MONEY!" suddenly exclaimed Raphael as he broke into a mad dash "But where do I get some?". He then remembered that there was an ATM machine nearby, so he completely disregarded his earlier purchases and headed towards it.
"And here we have all the worthless garbage Raphael bought" said Dartz as he zoomed in on Raphael's bags and then he pulled something out "What kind of moron needs a blender that plays the song 'Livin La Vida Loca'?". Dartz was sometimes appalled and disgusted with some of the junk Raphael bought, and today was obviously no exception. "Well I guess I should do something nice for once" thought Dartz as his eyes scanned all the bags "I'll help Raphael dispose of this garbage!". He then snapped his fingers and all of the bags were sucked into a vortex and were headed off to an unknown location.
Dartz then chuckled and walked off quickly in search of Amelda and Varon for even more incriminating and humiliating footage of the two.
"Why do we have to go into this music store?" whined Varon as he stood behind Amelda "There's too many people in there!". Amelda was beginning to get pissed off that Varon was following him, so he decided to get rid of him one way or another. "That's exactly why I chose this store" said Amelda with a smirk on his face "You're free to go off if you want". "Fine I will!" said Varon as he stomped his foot and began to walk off "But if you need to borrow money or something, don't come crying to me!".
Amelda was satisfied that he had managed to get rid of him, so he headed into the music store. "I wonder if they have the cd I want?" thought Amelda as his eyes scanned the store "They're always sold out of it". He then decided to head over to the listening stations to see if they had a sample of the cd he wanted to buy. He walked all the way to the back of the store and noticed that it was pretty much empty. "It's a good thing Varon didn't notice this place is almost empty" thought Amelda to himself "I don't want him hanging around me since he whines too much". Amelda suddenly stopped in his tracks right when he reached the listening station since he saw something downright disturbing...well several things actually.
"Power to world spice up your life! Every boy and every girl! Spice up your life! People of the world! Spice up your life!" sang Pegasus at the top of his lungs as he wore headphones and did the robot "Slam it to left if you're having a time, shake it to right if you know that feel right..". Pegasus was so into his song that he was completely oblivious to what was going on around..which could be considered a good thing. "Thought that I was going crazy! Just having one of those days yeah! Didn't know what to do!" sang the usually shy Bakura at the top of his lungs while shaking his hips "Then there was you! Then everything went from wrong to right...". Bakura's singing wasn't as bad as Pegasus, but his dancing was alot more disturbing. There was one other person putting on a little show, but this one was the strangest of all. "In the navy! Come on and join your fellow man!" sang Mako Tsunami at the top of lungs while disco dancing like he was having a flashback to the seventies "Come now people make a stand, can't you see we need a helping hand?". Mako's singing was even worse than Pegasus and Bakura, although he was the best dancer in the bunch.
Amelda quickly ran off before he ended up deaf to all the horrible singing and decided to search for the cd he wanted. When he was finally approaching the display he realized that there was exactly one copy of the cd sitting there. "At last!" shouted Amelda as he suddenly ran towards the cd at full speed "I'm finally going to own it!". But right when Amelda grabbed the cd, someone else grabbed it as well. "Hey get your hands of this cd!" snarled Amelda without even looking up "This is mine!". "You again?" suddenly Tea shouted as she tightened her grip on the cd "I wasn't able to get that belt, but I'm getting this cd!". Amelda couldn't believe his rotten luck, so he just tightened his grip on the cd as well and they began to have another tug of war.
"How can my checking account be overdrawn?" thought Raphael as he sadly dragged himself back towards where "Ahhs" was located "Why? I still want to do some shopping!". Once he got there though he realized that he had yet another reason to be upset. "Where did my bags go?" exclaimed Raphael when he realized they weren't there "I was gone for less than a minute!". Suddenly it dawned on Raphael that he was going to have to pay for all of the stuff even if it had all vanished. "NO!" shouted Raphael at the top of his lungs as he threw himself on his knees "I didn't even get to enjoy my Ricky Martin blender...and worst of all I still have to pay for it!"
"So...you need money do you?" said a mysterious person as they walked up to Raphael who was still on his knees "If you do what I say then perhaps we can work something out?". Raphael immediately looked up and he was surprised when he realized who it was.
"I can't believe this day!" thought Varon to himself as he sat on a lone bench eating a corndog in a deserted part of the mall "First I wake up like this, then Dartz humilates me, then worst of all Joey Wheeler hit on me!". Varon's always bought several corndogs when he went to the mall, even if he wasn't hungry . The reason Varon liked to buy them was because the girls who worked at the corndog stand would always stomp their own lemonade. When they did they put on quite a show and all the perverts watching them(like Varon) got a free show. Varon then took a huge bite out of the corndog, chewed it, and swallowed it before realizing that it was almost completely gone. "Hmm those girls are usually stomping the lemonade at this time" said Varon with a sneaky chuckle and a sly grin on his face "So I guess it's time for me to get another corndog".
"Hey dere babe!" suddenly said Joey as he plopped down next to Varon on the bench while holding at least ten corndogs in his hands "So ya like dese corndogs too huh?". The corndogs were all dripping ketchup and mustard, almost all of which ended up on Joey's shirt. Joey didn't care though and he was still trying to be as smooth as possible to impress the mysterious brown haired girl in the velour suit. "Why won't he leave me alone?" thought Varon to himself "Why can't he go bother someone else for once?"
