Chapter 4-

Fi looked at the pants that hung in the display window of the store. She was at the mall with Jack, Clu, and Carey. She was looking for the perfect outfit for her date with Carey. She wanted something casual, yet sexy, while it was still very hip and sophisticated. Then she saw the pants. They were tight, black leather. Usually she wouldn't have gotten them, considering she already owned a pair, but these pants had a barely noticable saphire blue print, that looked kinda ripped, and a silver chain around the waist. She figured she should at least try them on, so she walked inside and tried them on. When she stepped out of the dressing room and looked in the threeway mirror to see three guys drooling over her, she figured Carey would like them, so se got them. Within an hour she found a saphire blue top that had silver straps which tied together in the back, exposing most of her back, and all of her tatoo. She found the perfect boots for the pants too. They were a combatish style, they came up several inches above the ankles. They were a metallic materail, and came in silver, black, and red. When she asked if they had them in a different color, they miraculiously found a pair of saphire blue boots in the back, that they didn't even know was there, and they just so happened to be her size. (I know I did a really bad job in describing what the boots look like. I made them sound ugly, but I saw them once at the mall, and they are actually really cool.) She had everything she needed for her date. She would wear her silver and black chocker that had a saphire hanging from it that Kourt gave her for her birthday last year, and that would complete the outfit. She wasn't sure what she was going to do with her hair yet, but she had several hours until her date, so she didn't worry about it.

She walked around for a while before seeing a piercing and tatoo shop. She laughed when she wondered how her mother would react to her getting a belly button ring. She walked inside and looked at the designs for tatoos and the differents style belly button rings they had. She was extremely tempted to get one.

"Can I help you?" The cashier asked, noticing Fi looking at the different belly rings.

"Um, I was just looking. But out of curiousity, how much would it cost to get that belly ring and my stomach pierced?" Fi pointed to a simple silver hoop with two metal balls on it.

"That one? That would be twenty-five, plus the piercing is forty." The cashier said, smiling. Fi just nodded. In Seattle she had her tongue ring done by a friend of Kourts, who only charged twenty, but that was because she was a friend. Fi already had a tatoo and a tongue ring, not to mention the four earings in each ear. She smiled at the cashier, and muttered a thank you, before walking out of the shop. She turned back and looked at the shop, yes, she did want the belly ring, but she wouldn't get it until her family got used to her tongue ring and found out about her tatoo.

She walked into a book store and went to the Folklore section. She had found next to nothing on the internet about the Boogie man. She looked around the store and didn't see anything that would help her, until she went to the childrens section, and found a book on the Spanish bogey man. She hadn't even know there wasa Spanish Bogey man. She bought that and a new magazine that had some cute hairstyles in it that she wanted to try.

She walked out of the store and saw Jack in the camera store across from the book store.

"Hey!" She said, walking up to him.

"Oh hey Fi. What do you think about this camera?" He showed her a silver digital camera with zoom features. (I know nothing about cameras, I'm just trying to make the camera sound real, ok?)

Fi shrugged. "I know nothing about cameras Jack. That's your department."

"It's a nice camera." He commented.

"So get it."

"It's seven hundred dollars. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly have that kind of cash lying around." He said, setting the camera back down. Fi bit her lip. She had a couple thousand dollars in her savings account, and she did feel guilty about her Christmas present for him getting lost in the mail, and his birthday was only a month away. She followed Jack out of the store, and toward the food court.

They got some cheese fries and two pepsis, and sat down at one of the tables.

"So, how did you like Seattle?" Jack asked, before he ate a fri.

"I loved it. It was a lot of fun. It definatly wasn't Hope Springs."

Jack nodded, signaling for Fi to continue.

"I didn't really like school very much for a while, but I got used to it. I actually played soccer, but you know that right?"

"No, I didn't know you played soccer." Jack said, suprised. Why hadn't kis sister told him before now that she played soccer.

"Yeah, well, anyway, I did play volleyball the first year I lived there, too, but last year I decided to play only soccer. It got kinda hard to juggle school, friends, soccer, volleyball, drama club, and my job all at once." She said, grabbing a fri and taking a sip of her pepsi.

"You had a job?" Jack asked. Why hadn't he known all of those things about his sister?

"Yeah. For the first few months I worked at store in the mall, but my friend Kourt got me a job at the coffeeshop she worked at. I liked that a lot better."

"What about the whole drama club thing?"

"That was fun for a while. I was Juliet in Romeo + Juliet. That was pretty cool, but it got kinda boring after they got a new drama teacher, so I quit." She replied, acting as if it was no big deal.

Jack was shocked. It had all hit him at once. Yes, he knew his sister had changed. But the fact that she had a whole life outside of Hope Springs was hard for him to understand. He had just assumed Fi had only stayed with their aunt for the past two years, but he realized that she had actually lived there. There was a difference. She had a life that he was no part of. She had friends, a job, a whole life. He needed some time to digest this new found information. Maybe he should find Carey or Clu and talke to them. Carey would probally still be in the music store drooling over a new guitar they just got in.

"Yeah, uh, I'll be back." Jack said, standing up and walking away from where Fi was sitting and watching him leave.

"What was that about?" She muttered to herself, eating another fri.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Fi walked upstairs to her room. She placed her bags on her bed and walked over to her lap top. She checked her email, finding one from Kourt, and one from Gabe. She looked at her watch and saw it was six O' Clock. She hadn't realized it was so late. She knew she shouldn't have spent so long in Bath & Body works looking for some new lotion. She jumped up and ran to the bathroom to take her shower. She hurridley did her hair and make up and got dressed. She put her shoes on, and had just placed her chocker on her neck when she heard Carey shut the door of his car. It was time for their date. She grabbed her purse, looked in the mirror one last time, and opened the door to her room and started to walk downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Carey walked inside the house. It was 6:59. He didn't want to be too early, but he didn't want to be late, either. He guessed Fi was probally still upstairs, since he didn't see her in the living room.

"Hey man. What are you doing here? Want to watch the baseball game?" Jack asked as he noticed Carey standing in the living room.

"Hey. Uh, actually, I'm here because..." He started to say, but stopped when he saw Fi standing at the bottom of the stairs.
