Fashion Starved

When we last left our… Hero? Sure that is what we will call her. Cail had just left the cafeteria after getting Cardin to agree to a date after school. Though she managed to win that battle she now finds herself in a direr predicament.

"I totally forgot to get something to eat while I was in there didn't I?" Cail said while completely dumbstruck by her own ineptitude, which was quickly followed by an audible growl of her stomach. "Should I just go back in and get something?" Cail peeks inside the window and sees that Cardin's teammates have returned and seem to be consoling him for some reason. "Don't really want to deal with that right now. Do I have any other options?" Cail looked back over to her usual seat which was now occupied by an unfamiliar face. A young girl with short red hair, bright emerald eyes, and her round cheeks are covered in freckles. "Who is that girl and why is she in my seat? For some reason she gives me an uneasy feeling."

Cail takes a moment to ponder what it is about the girl that makes her uneasy. "Ah who cares it's not like she has anything to do with me! I still got a hungry stomach to feed!" Cail looks over to notice that all three of her teammates were seated at the table. A team which consists of three other girls one of which is the self proclaimed punkish rogue Robin Rangers, and then there is the mad scientist slash inventor Sophia Sparks, and most notably Ursula Andress. Ursula Andress is known for a great many things like her singing and acting talent as well as her impressive skill on the battlefield but. The one thing Cail cared about right now is that she is also known to be quite the gluten. "That's right with Ursula and everyone else here in the cafeteria there is nobody guarding her stash back in the dorm room!"

Cail quickly slipped away from the Cafeteria and made her way back to her dorms. Once she reached the her room she took a moment to inspect the door remembering the fact it nearly got ripped off its hinges this morning. Much to Cail's surprise the door was in immaculate condition. "How is this possible? Was our door ever in this good of shape? I guess that's why they call it magic huh?" Cail then moved through the door and locked it behind herself. "Don't want any more unwanted guests now do we?"

Cail then moved to the center of the small room and began to look around. "Now where did she stash it this time? Because she knows I find it every time she hides it. She has been getting smarter about it and has started having somebody else hide the goods for her. Her instincts would always lead her too it afterward."

The Snail Girl stud still for a moment seeming to be lost in thought. Finally something seemed to click as she ran over to her bed to grab a shell shaped backpack. She reaches into the bag and pulls out a pair of small metal rods that seem to be bent at an angle. "Alright time for my trusty dowsing rods to do their thing!" She grips the rods firmly in her hands and they begin to turn towards the window of the room. She moves over to the window and opens it to take a look. Once she pops her head outside she notices a small box taped to the side of the building. Cail begins to grin widely before she kisses both the metal rods. "And to think Sophia calls you unscientific pieces of junk." Cail slips the rods into the belt of her skirt and polls the box from the wall and places it on the floor behind before she closes the window.

The box was a small metal lock box with a sturdy padlock on it. Cail thought for a moment about how she was going to open it. "I could just cut the lock off with my weapon but, it's probably best to be a bit more subtle." Cail moves back over to her bag and pulls out a small tool box. She opens it and takes a few lock picking tools and goes to work. After a few minutes the lock was finally off and Cail was ready to claim her prize.

"Alright come to mama my goodies!" Cail lifts up the lid to reveal an array of sweet and salty snacks. Then she wasted no time as she began to stuff her face with the boxes contents. Once she felt satisfied she locked the box back up and returned it to its hiding place.

"Ok I guess it's time I get freshened up." Cail made her way into the bathroom and moved all of her now washed clothes into the dryer and turned it on high. While her clothes were drying off she figured she would go ahead and hop in the shower.

15 Minutes Later

Cail emerges from the bathroom dressed in slightly damp street clothes. A strange sight awaited her upon her return. The box which she had returned to its hiding place was back on the floor of the room and had been reopened. A look of confusion appeared on her face but it was quickly replaced by terror as a familiar voice echoes through the room.

"Cail what have I told you about keeping your filthy hands of what does not belong to you!?"

Cail spins around to see a tall violet haired girl standing near the doorway to the room which was now completely broken. The girl was dressed in beacons usual uniform expect has a lair of heavy armor thrown on over top of it. Both the girl's angry expression and attire made her seem like she was prepared for war. Two violet colored long spears were strapped to her back, on her waist were four short swords, and six long metal arms extended from her back side to grip the weapons.

"Oh hey Ursula what brings you here ha ha." Cail said in a half hearted tone.

"You already know full well don't you?!"

Cail looks down at the box on the floor and over to the scroll attached to Ursula's wrist. "You sneaky dog you set up an alarm didn't you."

"That's right and now that I finally found you in the act its time I teach you what happens when you cross me?!"

"Now there is no need for that Ursula. Here how about you have some chocolate and calm down." Cail says as she reaches into her pocket to pull out a bar of chocolate.

"That is my chocolate isn't it?" Ursula inquires.

"It could be if you let me go?" Cail said jokingly.

"No deal!" Ursula shouted as her metal arms pulled the weapons from their holders and began swinging them wildly in Cails direction and slicing the bar of chocolate in Cail's hand to pieces.

"Ya didn't think so!" Cail shouted as she jumped backwards out of the way of the whirlwind of steel and leaped onto her bed to grab her backpack. She then rolled off the bed onto the floor just narrowly avoiding another attack.

"Stop moving and take your licks!" Ursula shouted as continued her assault. Cail dunks and spins causing each of her attacks to just narrowly miss their mark. Cail then reaches into her bag and when she pulls her hand out it was now covered by a crimson colored claw grasping a crimson mental whip.

Cail cracked the whip rapidly to deflect the incoming attacks. "Sorry Ursy I have a very important date today and I can't really play with you right now!"

Ursula seemed to stop in her tracts. "Wait… You have a date?"

"Ya that's right, its after school."

"With who!?" Ursula said in a suspecting tone.

"Cardin Winchester."

"Cardin Winchester? You mean the first year who everyone calls a complete jerk?!"

"That's right got a problem with that?"

"Well no… Not really I guess. It kind of makes since actually."

"I am not sure I like what your implying Ursula." Cail said while crossing her arms.

"By the way you're not going looking like that are you?" Ursula said motioning down at Cail's attire.

"What's wrong with this? No wrinkles, no stains, I even brushed my hair." Cail said with a proud tone.

"Everything dear, it's far too plain! Where is your sense of fashion!? I guess I got no choice." Ursula sheathed all of her weapons and the metal arms all retracted into pack strapped to her back. She then stepped over to Cail and garbed her by the arm dragging her into the bathroom.

A storm of screams and curses followed soon after and lasted for some time until finally the pair emerged from the bathroom. Cail was now dressed in a red jacket over a black sleeveless top. Her pants were now thigh hugger jeans. Her hair was now done up in a proper perm and she was also equipped with black high heel shoes as well as matching bag and scarf.

Cail made her way over to the mirror to examine herself. "Oh I like! You are truly a master at this! Though I could do without these ridicules shoes and I know I said this was important but the war paints a bit much.

Ursula let long sign. "That's called makeup Cail now stop your complaining you are starting to sound like Ruby.

"Ruby? You mean Yang's little sister?"

"Ya you know her?"

"No not really, she seems far to chipper for my tastes. Now then!" Cail looks down at the scroll and sees it's almost time for her to go meet Cardin. "Looks like I am ready just in the nick of time!"

"Wait I thought you said you were meeting at the end of school?" Ursula looked down at her scroll to check the time and began to freak out. "Oh crap now I am missing classes because of you! Oh that's right I also need to start getting ready myself! I am going shopping with Coco today."

"Well good luck with that I will catch you later Ursy." Cail then walked out of the dorm room and towards the meeting spot.

Ursula was now in a frenzy trying to remove her combat gear and change out of her uniform. "I feel like I am forgetting something." Ursula looked down at the sliced up pieces of chocolate. "Curse that Snail!"
