The bells soon rang for the students to be released and Jenny just couldn't wait. It was her first time to go shopping for actual human things! And she was going to treasure every single moment she had as a lasting memory. But then in sudden instant she remembered her moment with Brad just hours ago in the courtyard.
"He seemed so…shy, all of a sudden." She thought. "It was as if he was…"
"Hey Jenny, over here!" a male shouted. She looked up to see Brad and Tuck standing at the corner awaiting her arrival.
"Hey Brad, I'm so excited! I can't wait to go panty shopping with you today!" she exclaimed.
A few people around the area all stopped and stared before laughing. Brad quickly took this opportunity to put his hand over her mouth to keep her from saying anything else embarrassing.
"Eh-hahahaha, that Jenny, what a kidder." He said nervously to roll off the situation.
(Hmph!) she removed his hand angrily and glared furiously at him. "Whad ja do that for?" she yelled.
"Because Jenny there's certain things you can talk about out loud and there's certain things you can't talk about out loud, and panties is one of them. It's a personal thing." He explained.
"Oh…okay, I get it now." She said understandingly, then glanced down to notice the curious Tuck staring at her non stop.
"Uhhh…" she began nervously.
"You sound like Jenny…but how do we know you're not some type of alien from outer space here to suck our brains out of our nostrils!" he hypothesized.
"Uhh, Tuck…this is Jen-"
"Uno momento my dear brother, I got this covered" Tuck cut in with a swift hand motion. "Now supposing this new "being"…" he air quoted. "Is in fact the alien monster; we could all very well be in danger and the real Jenny will come in and save us like she always does." he concluded.
Brad and Jenny exchange glances for a moment before Brad tried to speak again, "But Tuck this is J-"
"Shh shh shh shhhhhh…we're waiting for Jenny."
"But Tuck, I am Jenn-"
"Ah ah ahhhh…" he intervened shaking a finger to her. "Jenny will be her any moment." He crossed his arms in a triumphal manner and waited for his metal friend to show….nothing.
"Hmm she must be running a bit late." He said checking his watch.
"Tuck this is-"
"Hey Jenny!" he yelled interrupting his brother.
"Tuck!"
"JENNNNYYY! WHERE ARE YOU BEFORE THE BRAIN SUCKING ALIENS COMES TO MY BRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNN?" he continued.
"Tuck!"
"JENNY?"
"Tu-"
"JEEENNNNNYYYYY!"
"T-"
"JENNNNNYYY?"
Silence
"Tuck-"
"JENNNNNNNYYYYYY!"
"Tucker I'm right here!" Jenny protested.
"Tsh, yeah…right." He blew off.
"It's the truth!" she continued. "I made a wish at this machine at the carnival last night and woke up like…like…"
"That?" Tuck concluded disgustingly.
"Yes." She answered rather annoyed.
"Okay…I'll buy your little shenanigan for now, but only until the real Jenny shows up!"
"Ugh, he's hopeless." Brad concluded. "Come on Jen, let's go shopping before it gets too late."
"Yeah! I'm so excited! My first shopping trip for real girl's pant-……clothing." She cheered.
"That's the spirit Jen!"
The three friends walked to the (a/n: what's the name of that mall again?) mall to begin Jenny's new journey of the human life style. They talked and giggled and explained things to Jenny they felt she needed to know while walking through the mall.
"Why don't they look ever so cute?" said a pair of eyes through binoculars. "The perfect little couple." She cued.
"So what do you say we do Tiff? That new girl is stealing our spot light!" Brit complained.
"We observe."
"Observe? What good would that do?"
"Brit please try to use that simple little mind of yours. Didn't you hear the girl earlier when she was with the shrimp boy?"
"Yeah…and?" she asked clueless.
"And the girl said she was the freak-bot. All we have to do is follow her until she slips up, and then we can expose her for the freak she is to Don!" she planned.
"Tiff girlfriend, you-are-brilliant!" the short girl announced.
"Yes darling I know." She replied and continued to watch the group of friends enter the mall.
The three friends walked through the mall at a steady mall pace to not only fit in with the surrounding crowd, but also to have Jenny keep up! She's been in the mall a multiple of times and even had a show down with a few arch villains here and there. But never…never has she seen the mall through human eyes!
Everything around her seemed so vivid and lively. The smell of the food in the air made her taste bugs water, the hustle and bustle of the people made her nerves jumpy, and the visuals of people walking around with bags made excited all over again! She didn't know where they were going, she just knew she was walking and nearly fell when her head tried to do a 360 to see everything around her.
"Woah there…" Brad said catching her from behind. "You gotta remember that humans can't get twisted up without something being broken."
"Why not?" she asked curiously.
"Well Jen, unlike robots, when a human breaks a bone or something we can't just get it replaced. We remain immobile until the damaged is healed or for the rest of our lives depending on how severe the case is." He explained.
"Why do you act so surprised?" Tuck questioned "It's not like your not human or anything."
There was a moment of silence for Brad and Jenny to stare at him and then resume to their previous status.
"Anyway," Brad continued. "Let's get to the stores so you can try things on." He motioned for Jenny to follow him and they began their pursuit. But after a couple of steps Brad stopped in his tracks to glare at Tuck.
"Tuck…what are you doing?"
"Well duh what does it look like? I'm following you and Ms. Faker until Jenny shows up." This got him a glare from Jenny as well.
"Tuck-"
"There's no way I'm leaving your side bro."
"We're shopping for woman's underwear."
"Like I said, I'll be at the toy store." He casually said walking back the other direction.
"What's with him?" Jenny asked.
"Eh…he's in a stage of denial."
"Oh."
The two walked for a bit more until Brad lead her into a lingerie department store and lead her directly to the cashier. She was a young middle aged woman who looked to be extremely bored with her profession. They stood there for minute wondering when she was final going to direct her attention to them until Brad finally cleared his throat.
"Hmm? Oh yes, can I help you?" she asked cheerfully.
"Yes I'd like you to help me uhhh…friend out her in the purchasing of …female items." He whispered the last part as to show his point before clearing his throat once more to hide his embarrassment.
"Ohhh okay, I get it." The woman spoke up taking the hint. "You two are shopping for that "special night" h'ey?" she gave Brad a wink.
He blushed furiously and started shaking his head and hands to deny it all. "No no you've got it all wrong!" he confronted. "She's just my-"
"Come on dear," she interrupted dragging Jenny away. "Let's get you fixed up."
Walking toward the bra section the woman asked Jenny if she knew what size she was. This made Jenny even more confused as she gave the saleswoman a questioning look.
"You don't even….(sigh)….okay, It's okay. It just means we have more work to do." She picked out a few sizes and led Jenny to the dressing room. "Okay, you try those on and let me know how they fit."
She nodded and began to try on the undergarment but then paused. She poked her head out of the curtain to look at the saleswoman who lucky for her was standing outside the fitting room.
"Umm excuse me? Ma'am?"
"You got it on?"
She blushed. "Uhh no, actually this is my first time doing something like this and I was wondering if you could help me out with it."
"Oh well sure! Why didn't you just say so to begin with?"
"Oh really! Thanks a lot!"
Brad stayed next to the counter in the store. There were leather like couches off to side that had a few guys sitting there.
"Must be waiting on their girlfriends." He thought.
He took a seat and rested his head on the back of the couch. How much longer would he have to go through this? He didn't mind…actually it was quite exciting! Yet awkward at the same time.
(sigh) He released a deep breathe and closed his eyes for the wait. It must've been 20 min later because he had already nodded off that he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Young man…(tap, tap, tap, tap, tap)…excuse me young man?"
He opened his eyes to see the saleswoman that was helping Jenny standing in front of him.
He sat up a bit and stretched the sleep out of his body.
"Is she all ready to go?" he asked rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Not quite, she needs to see you for a bit." She crossed her arms with a smile and waited for him to get up. "She in the curtain room on the far right." She explained and went off to find other items through out the store."
"Okay…." Brad shrugged it off and went to the curtain room. "Jen? Hey Jen you in there?" he called.
"Brad?" she poked her head out of the curtain and her icy blue eyes gave him a smile.
"Is something wrong? I thought you'd be ready by now?"
"Well technically I'm only 85 ready. I got my size down I just need a design and color….that's were you come in." she hid back within the curtain and fumbled around a bit.
"Umm Jen I don't think I'm the right person to-"
He was interrupted when he heard the 'swoosh' of the curtains opening and the awe struck of the other men in the store.
"Well? What do you think?" she asked proudly, sporting off her figure in her baby blue silk bra and panties.
"I think you look hot!" shouted one man.
"Mind taking the rest off?" shouted another.
Brad quickly shut the curtains shut embarrassed that he saw Jenny practically naked and angry that other men found her attractive.
"Jenny you can't be doing stuff like that." He stated angrily while she fumbled around again in the little area. "Jenny! Are you listening to me!" he demanded.
"Fine!" she declared
"Wha-what?" he stuttered at a loss of words.
"If I can't show you out there then I'll show you in here!"
Before he could reject she had already pulled him inside and gave him a full visual of her attire. Instead of being in bra and panties this time, she was now in sexy lingerie with tights and adjustable G-straps.
"How about now?" she questioned
"Brad?...Brad are you okay? Your nose is bleeding!"
He faintly heard his name being called before his hearing and vision became foggy. He felt light headed and before he knew it, everything went black.
He fell with a loud enough thud that the saleswomen from before came to see what the matter was.
"Is everything o-…hmm." She finished looking at the unconscious boy.
"I didn't do anything, I swear! I just wanted to show him what I looked like so I'd know if he'd like it or not." Jenny confessed.
"Oh trust me sweetie, he like it alright." She said confidently.
"Oh Brad." She cued lifting his head on her lap.
"What's your name hon?" the woman asked.
"Jenny, Jenny Wakeman." She answered
"Hmm I've heard that name before." She thought tapping her chin. "But oh well! Jenny my name is Bianca and if you ask me, I'd say you get those garments and you get them in multiple colors and fabrics."
"But what about-"
"Don't worry about him. My swift ends in about 10 min. so if it's okay with you, how about I give you and your "friend" a ride home, since it appears he won't be waking up soon."
"Really? Oh that would be great!" Jenny cheered
"Okay then its official!" Bianca concluded. "You get dressed and I'll get everything to the register."
"Thank you Miss Bianca."
"Oh Jenny! Sweetie….don't call me Miss, that's my mother."
"Oh sorry." she then suddenly remembered.
"TUCK!"
"Who?"
"Tuck, Brad's little brother. He came to the mall with us and went to the toy store. We can't just leave him here."
"Okay okay just calm down, I'll get him while your getting ready, so then we can all carry him to my car and I can give you all a ride home."
"Oh thank you Mis- I mean Bianca." She corrected. "I can't thank you enough!"
"Don't worry about! I'm just a sap for cute couples." Bianca admitted.
"Oh…" she blushed at the comment. Cute couples…. She thought. "She thinks Brad and I will make a cute couple! But we're just good friends and…." She looked down to adore his face. He looks so handsome….who knows? Maybe Don and I will make a cute couple. She thought dreamily.
A while later Jenny was dressed and some of the men who were there earlier helped carry Brad to the couch while she payed.
"Lucky dog..." she heard one say. "Of all the hot girls in Middleton he goes and gets the hottest one."
"I guess she's just too much for him!" commented another.
"Oh the actions he's gonna get!" the other cheered.
Tuck soon walked into the store and gasped at the scene.
"You!" he shouted dramatically pointing a finger. "What did you do to my brother you Jenny impersonator?"
"Tuck, do we really have to go through this again?" Jenny asked annoyingly. "I just want to get Brad home."
"You know….things would have been real easier if you were the real Jenny." He commented.
Before Jenny could respond Bianca and the two were right back lifting Brad off the couch and out the store.
"My cars out on the third level of the parking garage." she instructed. "Just put him in a shopping cart and we'll wheel him out there."
"Oh can I push him?" Tuck asked excitedly.
"Sure kid." Bianca agreed. "He is your unconscious brother after all."
Some time during the ride home Brad began to awaken. He groaned a bit in pain and from the spinning of his surrounding area.
"Where am I?" he asked
"Brad!" Tuck and Jenny said in unison.
"Oh Brad are you okay? I was so worried!" Jenny said worriedly.
"Hey, he's my brother thank you very much….so Brad…when-do-you-think-you'll-fall-unconscious-again-so-I-can-push-you-out-of-the-mall-in-a-shopping-cart-like-some-kind-of-bum?"
He said it so quickly nobody in the car caught onto what he was saying.
"Uhh sure kid." Bianca replied. "You just bring your brother and Jenny back to my store and you'll be pushing him out in no time."
"Alright! There are benefits to being with this Jenny impersonator."
"Watch it Tuck!" she warned.
Brad sat in silence and soon thought back to the events back at the mall. The very thought of it made his blood warm and he felt light headed again threw his head back.
"Brad, your nose is bleeding again!" Jenny exclaimed. "Here lemme see." She reached up to touch is face only to have it smacked away.
"No it's okay Jen. I just need to stay out of the heat for a bit." He explained.
"Oh…well okay." She said a bit discouraged. "If you say so."
"'Stay out of the heat' now that's a good one!" Bianca mumbled from the driver's seat.
"You say something Bianca?" Jenny asked.
"No nothing, just the little guy already fell asleep and we're here!"
"What already? Oh well, It was nice meeting you Bianca."
"Ditto to you girl!" she said winking aiming her finger back at her.
"And thanks for the shopping trip Brad."
"Anytime Jen, just-"
He lips pressed against his cheek and he felt time stop for a brief moment.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." She said getting out of the car.
There was a moment of silence in the car before someone broke into awes.
"That was so precious!" Bianca awed. "She's really something else."
Brad watched her as she went inside. "You don't know that half it Bianca….you don't know the half of it."
