Kate - definitely cool beans. Lol.
Missmiamya - Don't worry, there'll be some Darco here in there when it's appropriate. :)
A/N: I totally forgot to write that the girls had a few shopping bags, but let's just say that they went to the car and put them there before the movie or whatever. Lol, I fix it when I re-edit everything later on after a few more chapters.
Disclaimer: Boy, I don't own anything, but my jazz shoes… and my Ipod… my comp… okay, so I own some stuff, but not Degrassi or it's characters. K?
Chapter Two (Part One)
Having left the theatre, the girls decided to wonder around with no particular store in mind. Paige swept a hand through her light colored hair and frowned at a certain thought that had been plaguing her for weeks, maybe even months. "Alex?"
Brown eyes met bluish green. "Yeah, Paige?"
"We'll keep in touch, right?"
Alex scrunched her face in confusion, "What?"
The two stopped their steps and faced each other fully. Paige shrugged, "While I'm away, you know?"
"Paige-" the dark haired girl started, her voiced filled with trepidation.
"That's what close friends do… keeping in touch with one another?"
Alex decided to not reply, her eyes moving away from Paige's and into small dark ones from under one of the many benches that covered the shopping mall. She carefully made her way over and crouched down, her head leaning to the side.
Watching with confusion, Paige shook her head. "What in the world are you looking at?"
Holding a finger up to her lips, Alex signaled her ex to quiet down. Slowly, she took her right hand and stuck it under the bench. Pulling it a back out, she grinned. In her hand, occupied a tiny furry little kitten. It curled up for the warmth of Alex's body heat.
"Is that a rat?"
Alex rolled her eyes at the blonde, "Why the hell would I hold a rat?" She gave the blonde a full view of the baby feline, "I'm pretty sure this guy belongs to Wally's World of Pets."
"How'd he get here?"
"Well, I know that we have a new manager this week. So, accidents and such can happen a lot."
Paige got up more closely to look at the animal and smiled softly. "He's cute… his eyes kind of resembles-"
"I swear to god, you better not say my name."
"Well, I wasn't. I was going to say it kind of resembles you. You're name is nowhere in that sentence."
Alex glared at her.
The other girl tried her best to keep a straight face, but she was just bad at holding hilarious stuff in. Cracking up, Paige took cute kitten and gently pet it. "You need a pet," she worded.
Knowing what Paige was doing, Alex tried to cut it short. "Uh, I don't think so. I can barely take care of myself and my mom… don't need another being to take care of."
The blonde pouted, "But it's just so cute."
"You thought it was a rat, Paige."
"…nuh-uh."

Alex returned the kitten to Wally's World of Pets, a pouting Paige beside her.
"Stop it."
"Stop what, Alex?" the blonde asked, feigning innocence.
The dark haired girl shook her head, "The whole pouting thing… just stop."
That was Paige's cue to put the pout on full force.
Alex covered eyes and whined, "I'm not falling for it. I'm not going to get that kitten!"
TBC…
Uh… I don't know why I wrote this, but I did. Lol, should Alex give in? Hey, also... give me some ideas on what you want from this story and I'll see If can do it, but still following my plot. :)
