Chapter 4: Shopping with Tess
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three hours had passed since they started looking for the right clothes for Torn's big night with Ashelin. Three frikin hours. Three hours of walking around every clothing store in Haven City. Three hours of trying on clothing. Three hours of having Tess say no and Jinx laughing his ass off. Three hours of having store clerks and store managers staring at him strangely. And they weren't even done yet.
"Alright, alright," Tess said in a tone that Torn had come to hate with an I-wanna-shoot-the-living-hell-outta-whatever-the-hell-it-is passion. He would have been fingering his gun, too, except Tess had taken it away, and was now being watched by a highly amused pyromaniac. (And, at this point in time, animedragongirl's twenty-pound cat decided to sit on her arm, and is thus typing one-handed.) "You have to retry the dark blue jacket with the black pants again. I can't figure out which looks better." She was saying this to Torn, who had been rendered gun-less at the beginning of the three hours. He needed his gun or something that would allow him to shoot the she-ottsel. She was driving him nuts! But she had taken his one and only guns he had on him away.
Flashback
"Hey Torn," began Jinx, "You better give Tess or me your gun."
"Why?" Torn asked
"You'll see." replied the pyromaniac. Torn reluctantly gave his gun to Tess, who went back inside the Naughty Ottsel and hid it.
"Let's go boys." she said as she walked up to Torn's new Freedom Cruiser. As the three departed Torn had a gut feeling that giving his one and only gun away was the stupidest idea ever.
End of Flashback
"Go on, shoo," Tess shooed, flapping her hands for him to go back to the dressing room. Torn gave feral growled; hell, he was gonna go even more insane than he already was. So he stalked off back to the dressing room littered with miscellaneous items of clothing that had been tried and discarded. The sales clerk had already been terrified out of his wits two hours ago, which was some excuse for the mess.
Stupid, stupid, stupid… why had I asked Tess for help? he thought as he pulled off his shirt. (Cue for hoards of screaming fangirls to jump in with cameras while both authors play fangirlball with a spiked bat!) Unfortunately, he had forgotten, as he had traversed along the going-insane path too long.
Yep, he needed to shoot something.
Three minutes later, he stalked back out of the dressing room in the blue jacket and black pants. Tess eyed him critically, then said:
"Well…"
"'Well' what?" snapped Torn.
Tess lifted a single, solitary eyebrow as she eyed him up and down and all around… well, you get the point.
"Yes," she said after what seemed to be an interminable amount of time (which was, in reality, five seconds), "You certainly do look good… That'll do!"
Torn whooped. He was free!...
"…now, let's pay for it and be on our way!" She finished
Ahem. I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but this was one of the most popular stores in Haven.
And you all know what that means…
Torn picked up his clothing of choice and went up to pay. He noticed that there were 2 people ahead of him, both of them were young teen girls. This won't take long. he though. (The man never learns.) That was when one of the girls began talking to both the female clerk and her friend. Within mere minutes she had driven him crazy with her chitter chatter. Would they please pay already! Torn yelled in his head. "Ma-am?" asked the clerk
"Yes." She answered sweetly
"Your over your budget." the clerk said, "You'll have to put some of the stuff back."
"Oh dear." said the teen in a frustrated voice as she picked up her pile and went to choose what was bought and what wasn't. The next teen was over budget too, but unlike her friend she didn't move out of the way; instead she stayed at the counter and talked to the clerk and her friend while she choose what stayed and what was bought.
…Two in a half more hours!
Both women finally decided what they wanted and purchased their stuff.
"Can I help you sir?" asked the clerk
"I want these." said a very upset and mentally damaged Torn.
"Okay." the clerk said as she rang the items up. "$184.94 is your total."
At this very moment Torn's left eye began to twitch. "Okay." he said in a high voice. He sortta sounded as if he'd been hit in the crotch.
"Here's your receipt and please come again." the clerk said in a very sweet and innocent voice.
With Jinx's help, Torn picked up the bag, turned around, and left. By the end of the day, Torn had popped three veins, a twitching eye, uncontrollable jumpiness, and had come to the frothing-at-the-mouth point five times.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, on that happy note, we conclude this short chapter.
Animedragongirl: Ahem. Who are these 'Up-High' people?
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: I'm not sure...
