AN: Sorry it took so long. Me and Hayley typed this up together. I'm me, and Hayley is Hayley. Lol, we both twisted Erik around how we pleased.
Modern Inconveniences: Hayley part 2
After coaxing Erik into the seat, Hayley shut the music off for a moment.
"SHUT IT!" she shouted. "Now...I would like everyone to buckle up. Amanda, please show Erik how to use his seat belt, would you love?"
Amanda gave a small nod and turned to Erik. "Here, let me do it for you." She then proceeded to happily buckle him up... She looked around vaguely afterwards... "I think that everyone ran away during my long updating transition..." She shrugged. "You ready?"
Erik gave a rather loud gulp and nodded.
Then here we go! shouted Hayley, and turned the key, starting the car and they were off!
Erik's arms gripped the edge of the seat, and he let out a rather loud whimper. The machine... growled at him... Amanda noticed his rather pale... er... complexion... "It's okay... really."
After some little time, the group arrived at a placed called, 'Towne Centre...' where Hayley steered the car and finally parked it. "C'mon," she said, getting out, "We're going in by the Food Court."
After a few moments, she realized that she was walking alone. If she took the time to look back, she would find one extremely frightened Phantom with his hands clutching the seat for dear life, and one annoyed Phan girl trying to pry him out.
Hayley turned around and walked back to the car. "Amanda, lemme deal if you please," she said. She walked over to Erik, laying her hand on his. "It's all right. this is a carriage, and it stopped. C'mon now--let's get out."
He looked wildly around, and then shook his head. "Do you not see all of those people..."
"It's okay," she said gently, "We're with you--and nothing's gonna happen as long as you're with us, okay?"
With a small nod, he held out one hand for Hayley, and one hand for Amanda. "I think I need my light saber."
Amanda gave a small laugh and took his hand.
Hayley also took Erik's hand, and they all three went into the mall together. As they went in, Hayley leaned behind Erik so she could see her friend and mouthed the words, 'Hot Topic?' at her
Amanda's mouth widened in an extremely excited smile, when she mouthed also. "Leather pants and a trench coat..."
Hayley had to stifle her giggles as they led Erik, arm in arm, to some store called Hot Topic... where loud, obnoxious music played and lots of people were dressed like Hayley and Amanda as well.
Amanda grinned, looking down at her clothes. The wonderful black shirt and tight blue jeans, and her black coat. She giggled happily, looking around. "I think that looks good." She pointed at a long coat.
Hayley looked at the coat and then her friend. They nodded at once picking out the right size and held them against him and finally selected the perfect size.
Amanda gave an approving nod, and then her eyes widened in delight. Along the walls are many many masks. Erik looked around in confusion, the lights and music slightly befuddling him. Everyone in here seemed to be dressed the same way as Amanda and Hayley... and he had a strange suspicion that they were going to dress him up too.
Hayley grabbed Amanda's shoulder, and turned her to look her in the eyes, and shook her head, pointing over to the racks of shirts and trousers
She gave a bit of a pout, and then grabbed Erik's arm and dragged him along behind her towards the rack.
Hayley sifted through the rack, picking out certain shirts and holding them against Erik, and either nodding and putting them over her arm or shaking her head and putting it back.
Amanda strolled off towards the back of the store, and gave a small smile, picking through belts for Erik.
Erik looked at Hayley as she continued to hold shirts up at him. When a particularly vicious one, and hot-pink one that said 'All of my black shirts were dirty' comes into view, he gives a rather large step back.
Hayley giggles, putting that one back on the rack. "Calm down, Erik--you're too manly to wear pink." she said.
"Manly?" He looked down at himself. He just didn't see it. He gave a shrug, as Amanda popped around the corner with three different belts, and a few other items. "Here ya go."
"Great!" replied Hayley, holding out her hand to Erik. "Come on--now we need to get you to try these things on."
Amanda gave an extremely loud giggle. "If you don't know how to get some of it on..." Erik gave her an extremely dirty look. She quickly shut her mouth, but continued to laugh.
Hayley laughed as well. She handed him a couple of outfits and opened the dressing room door..."Okay. Lessee how you look!" she said, nearly shoving him inside and locking the door from the outside... whistling as she twirled the key on her finger.
Amanda gave a happy laugh and looked at the few things she had grabbed for herself while browsing for Erik...
Our Phantom on the other hand, was trying to figure out exactly how to put on a particular pair of pants. After a few tries, he tied the leather and slid on the coat over the red shirt, adjusting his mask, he stepped out.
Amanda, who had been fiddling with a key chain, dropped it as her mouth dropped open.
Hayley's jaw also dropped, and she had to get against the wall to keep herself from fainting.
Erik's eyes widened happily to their little reaction. He thought that the clothes had looked rather silly, but... "How do I look."?
Amanda tried to speak, but her mouth just opened and closed.
Hayley began to just smile happily, and did for a while before saying, "Okay--that works. Now the next one," she said, handing it to him and repeating the first part. Erik took the clothes and returned to the room. He had just struggled into these clothes, and now she wanted him to take them off?
Amanda pulled herself out of her stupor. "Which outfit was that?"
"Some a little more--sophisticated," she said, glaring at the door devilishly
Amanda gave her a rather dirty look. "Which one?"
Erik stepped out of the room once more. A black satin shirt graced his chest, and some nice dressy-ish pants clung to the lower half of his body.
Now prepared to not be so overwhelmed, and totally ready to not drool... Amanda fell over.
Hayley also fell over, landing fortunately for her, in a heal of clothing
Erik's grin widened, as he turned around for him. Amanda stood up, and then shoved an outfit at him. "OK! Try on mine now." Erik turned and walked back into the room.
Hayley came out of her stupor, quickly picking up clothes.
He walked back out a few moments later with a see through fishnet shirt clinging to his top, a black Don Juan Mask, a wide belt with a skull on the front holding up a pair of baggy black leather pants. Amanda gave a dazed look.
Hayley cleared her throat, looking rather interested.
Amanda continued to start at him like an idiot...
"Amanda," began Hayley sweetly, "What in the WORLD made you think fishnet?" she asked through gritted teeth.
Amanda continued to stare happily at the wonderfully exposed chest... "I... uh..."
Erik crossed his arms, making the shirt pull tighter against his chest. "Amanda, I think that you got the wrong sized shirt..."
Amanda gave a nervous giggle. "No, it's just right."
Hayley threw another outfit at him. "Here, Erik--forget Miss Horney over here."
Amanda gave Hayley a rather dirty look, and stood up, taking the shirt out of Erik's hands. "You're lucky that I don't just down you right here and now, you evil woman." She glared at her, before handing Erik back the shirt.
Erik was rather confused, and quickly ran back into the changing room, away from the two crazy ladies outside.
