Chapter 2: Shopping Adventures.

"What do you mean he is coming?" Candice asked carefully.

"I mean he is getting in his car and coming here to take us home" Bianca repeated with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Why didn't you lie to him?" Candice questioned.

"I did"

"Pfft, you could have fooled me. You have never been a good liar" Candice argued back.

"I don't understand why this is so bad?" Sirius asked.

"Because doofus, if he finds us with boys then he is going to kick our arse. Then he is going to kill you. So you should be worried." Candice said. "Now let's go"

The boys just stood there and watched the girl start running. They still couldn't move. They felt frozen on the spot.

"Come on" Bianca said grabbing James' hand, and Candice doing to same to Sirius. Together they started running through the shopping centre until they arrived in the Food Court. They stopped to catch their breathe although not for long. Bianca looked up to see her brother and a few other cousins, searching through the crowd. When their eyes came close to their direction they started running again.

Bianca led them into a shop called Fantastic Furniture.

"Why are we in here? We can hardly walk with everything in our way" Candice questioned although she knew that if Bianca pulled them into this shop then, she had a plan.

"Just follow me" Bianca replied. They weaved their way around all the furniture. They kept moving until James saw Nick walk into the shop.

"They are right behind us" he said.

"Ok, split up, and we will meet you at the cinemas in fifteen minutes." Bianca said. She and James went one way and Sirius and Candice went the other.

Unfortunately for Bianca, Nick saw her long dark curly hair flap behind her as she ran and began to follow her. He crept up behind a couch and jumped out, but no one was there. He thought he went the right way and caught them but he must have been incorrect.

Meanwhile, Bianca saw Nick coming towards them, and thinking quickly she pushed James into a wardrobe and jumped in closing the door behind her. She was sitting there, and tried to shift her position because her leg was going numb.
"Great! Why did I have to choose the smallest wardrobe?" she asked her self. She could hear her brother's footsteps nearing them. She shifted again but this time the door nearly opened. Now instead of being more comfortable in the confined closet it was just a bunch of tangled limbs. Both bodies were pressed together and their legs were somehow linked together. Bianca's one arm was on the roof of the closet and the other one was holding the door. She was starting to loose her balance. Just as she was about to fall James caught her. Their bodies were twisted and now James' front was pressed against her back.

"Oh my God. Awkward position. I can fell his breathe on my neck." She thought.

"Is it bad if I am feeling slightly turned on right now?" James asked himself. "Of course it is …do you hear that?"

James stopped thinking. The footsteps were dying away. They peaked their head out of the door and no one was there. They carefully sneaked out and ran out the shop.

--------------

Candice and Sirius were able to sneak out of the shop, when Nick's back was turned. Although they were that lucky. Ryan, who was helping Nick, saw Candice and Sirius. They started running through the shopping centre with Ryan right on their trail.

Sirius pulled Candice one way and led her into a children's playground. There were big towers and slides everywhere.

"Why are we here?" she asked.

"Just follow me"

He held onto her hand as they moved through the playground. They stopped when they reached the 'Ball pool', as Sirius called it. They sunk low and let the balls cover them. They watched as Ryan moved towards them. He jumped into the ball pool and was waving his hands around.

Sirius pulled Candice to the very corner of the ball pool and pushed her gently against the wall, and they both sunk lower so they were completely covered.

"Sirius, where are you?" Candice asked as she couldn't feel him or his hand anymore.

"Right here" he said. He moved the coloured balls out of his face and took her hand again. They were looking at each other until a hand reached out. It almost grabbed Sirius' hair, but luckily Candice pulled him closer, so his whole front was against her. He put his head on her shoulder so no one could see his head popping out of the sea of coloured balls.

Once Ryan was gone, they made their way through the playground and left. They took the lift and reached the cinemas. They relaxed on the chairs, as Candice giggled to herself.

--------------------------------------------------

Bianca looked at her watch and realized that she was supposed to meet Candy and Sirius at the movies five minutes ago.

"Come on. We have to go to the bottom level." Bianca said.

They ran up the stairs because the lift and elevators were too crowded. As they were running down the third flight of stairs James asked, "I…. don't know…. How you…. Run in… those heels"

"Well you… get use to it….. After a while…. Besides… this isn't the first…. Time this has happened." She replied also out of breath.

They reached the bottom level to find Candice pacing, and Sirius playing one of the arcade games. They made there way over to Candice and she immediately stopped pacing.

"This isn't a time to be playing games" Bianca said to Sirius but he was too focused.

"Well it was the only way to shut him up and he kept trying to kiss me. But what took you so long?" Candice asked.

They were about to reply when James poked them and pointed to the elevator. Nick was coming up and looking around. Candice grabbed Sirius by the hand and they all ran into one of the theaters. It wasn't that full but there were people scattered in all different areas.

A movie was playing with a lot of fighting and guns involved but they weren't paying any attention to it. They sat at the very back and hid under the seats.

"Excuse me; sorry to interrupt the movie, but have you seen four teenagers come in here? Two boys and two girls?" Nick asked a couple sitting half way down the aisle.

"I think they went towards the back." The guy answered.

"Thank you" Nick replied walking towards the back.

"Ok guys follow me" Bianca said. She lied on her stomach and rolled down under the seat. Candice followed her so did James and Sirius.

"Sorry" Bianca said as she pushed people's legs up so they didn't get hurt. They rolled to the front of the cinema and stayed on the floor so no one could see them. Bianca finally stopped rolling but was squashed by Candice.

"Candice, you elbow is hurting my back" Bianca said.

"Sorry"

"It's ok. Where are the boys?" Bianca questioned. But there was no need. Soon after James and Sirius came rolling out.

"Sirius, get your arse out of my face" James said as Sirius was now sitting on his head.

"Oops."

They sat there trying to fix their clothing before peaking over the seats to see Nick leave again. They all sighed and relaxed into the seat. They were about to get up and start walking away when Sirius stopped them.

"What's wrong?" James asked. Sirius didn't answer, he just moved over to Candice and removed the lollie that was stuck to her arm and ate it.

Bianca laughed, James rolled his eyes and Candice made a disgusted face. They crawled on the floor to the exit door and left the cinema. They walked through the car park until they reached Bianca's car.

"Guys, we can't take the car" Sirius said.

"Why not?" Candice asked.

"Because if they notice the car is gone then they will know we left. If we leave the car then they will think we are still in there, and will keep looking" Sirius explained.

"That is the smartest thing you have said all night" Candice patted him on the head, he just grinned in response.

"DUCK!" James exclaimed suddenly.

They did as they were told. They looked through the car window to the other side and saw Nick get in his car with his cousins and drive back home.

"Thank God." Bianca said relaxing against the car. Soon everyone did the same.

"Man, is shopping always this adventurous?" James smiled.

"Well it really depends, but usually no" Bianca answered, Candice nodded.

"So are you brothers?" Candice asked, looking from James to Sirius.

"No, just best friends" James said first.

"I thought you were brothers" Candice said again.

"Well to make the story short, my family likes dark magic and I don't. They tried to force me to be like them, and when I had enough I ran away" Sirius explained simply.

"You ran away from home and moved in with James?" Bianca questioned.

"But surely they miss you. Have they tried to contact you?" Candice wondered.

"My family isn't capable of love" Sirius told.

"Don't say that. How do you even know? Because you haven't even bothered to contact them after you ran away" Candice commented.

"You don't know my family"

"Who are they? They can't be that bad" Bianca said.

"The Blacks"

"You mean you are Sirius Black? Man we have heard a lot of things about you" Bianca said smiling.

"From who?" James asked curiously.

"Just from a few friends and cousins. Oh my God… wait, then you must be James Potter" Bianca enquired.

"Holy Shit… she is going to flip" Candice said smiling.

"Who is? I'm confused" James and Sirius said at the same time.

"Don't worry. You will find out soon enough" Bianca told, giggling at the coincidence of everything.

"So what about you guys?" Sirius said.

"What about us?" Candice asked.

"Where did you move from?" James asked.

"France" Bianca replied.

"So, I am guessing you went to Beaxbatons Academy?" James asked again.

"Yes you are right. But we were born here and lived here until we were nine. Then our fathers had a business offer, so we had to move to France. That is why we don't have any accents." Candice explained.

"So why did you move back here then?" Sirius asked.

"Well, it was a signed contract and when the contract finished we had the option to stay or leave and we convinced them to leave because we wanted to see our friends again." Bianca said.

"Bianca we should be getting back. I have to go soon" Candice said.

"Cant you sleep over. Mum said that you can stay for the holidays if you want." Bianca begged.

"Ok, I'll stay but we still have to go"

All four of them got into the car, and they drove off. They pulled over about a block away from their home. "Sorry boys, do you mind if we drop you off here. Nick is probably waiting outside the house for us" Bianca asked apologetically.

"Nah, its cool" Sirius said as him and James both got out of the car.

"Well thanks for tonight. It was rushed but we had fun" Candice said as she kissed them both on the cheek. Bianca did the same.

"See you around." She said before they drove the rest of the way home.

When the girls got home Nick was waiting for them. They got out of the car and made their way inside.

"Oh my God, did you see that top. I am going to go back there and by it next time" Candice said when she knew Nick was listening.

"So, do you want to go to the beach tomorrow… or should I say today?" Bianca said as they made their way up the stairs.

"Ok, but you have to take me home first to get some clothes" Candice said.

"Here, you can wear these for tonight" Bianca said handing Candice a pink singlet top with a pink matching pants. Bianca put on the same style but in blue.

Bianca moved over to the window to close the curtains, when she saw movement in the house opposite her.

"Candy come look at this" Bianca said. Candice joined her at the window and smiled.

James and Sirius just got home. They seemed to feel the girl's eyes on them because they turned around and smiled before walking into the house. The girls waved before closing the curtains and getting into bed.

"You like him don't you?" they asked each other at the same time.

They rolled over to face each other.

"I saw the way you looked at him" Bianca said.

"And don't think I didn't see you get into that small wardrobe with James either" Candice replied.

They both laughed before they fell asleep, thinking about the crazy night they had.
