Chapter Three: Mall Shopping
Melissa finally arrived at her biodome with Sandy and Mindy. She walked up to her metallic door and opened it up, going through the water drainage area. Sandy walked right in after Mindy, shutting the metallic door behind her. Melissa handed Mindy a water helmet.
"Here, Mindy. You'll need this to breathe while you're inside my home," Melissa said.
"Thanks, Melissa," Mindy replied politely, taking the water helmet and putting it on her head. Melissa pushed a red button, draining all the water from the water holding area. Melissa opened her other metallic door from the opposite side and walked through inside her biodome, along with Sandy and Mindy. Sandy took off her diving suit and air helmet, placing them in a coat hanger next to the entrance. Melissa walked inside her house.
"I'll go and take a quick shower, then we can head for the mall," Melissa said. She climbed upstairs towards her bedroom and started to take some clothes out of her closet. She took out a pair of dark, blue jeans with a pink belt, a pink t-shirt, and a pair of pink and white sneakers with white socks. Melissa walked through her hallway and took out two pairs of towels, a small one and a big one. After closing her door, Melissa headed towards her bathroom and shut the door.
Meanwhile, Sandy was sitting in the dining room, waiting for Melissa to get ready for the mall. Mindy was looking around the dining room, seeing many photos and pictures of Texas.
"This room is nicely decorated. It has all sort of pictures," Mindy commented.
"Yep. The pics are all from Texas. We had just a snortin good time," Sandy said, looking at a photo of her and Melissa, enjoying a rodeo roundup.
"I imagine that Texas is a beautiful place," Mindy replied.
"It's just the best darn place ever," Sandy proudly exclaimed.
"Ha, Ha. I believe you, Sandy," Mindy giggled, "This pad is sweet. Melissa has done an excellent job keeping this place nice and tidy. I wish my room could be this clean."
"Yeah! She always kept her place shinin like a spur," Sandy commented, "Her ma taught her ta be nice and tidy."
"I wonder what life is like in the surface world," Mindy pondered.
"It ain't no sunshine of sunflowers," Sandy commented, "It a whole lotta of hard workin. It's kinda like here, except with the air, of course."
"Well, that's one way of putting it," Mindy replied.
"Besides, when you're in Texas, there ain't nothin but good ol cowpokes and good ol fashioned values, fer all of us is about family," Sandy explained.
"Hmmm...I see where you and Melissa get your strong ethics from. It's true. The both of you are true Texans," Mindy observed, smiling.
"Awww...shucks!" Sandy said, blushing.
Mindy and Sandy sat at the dining room table, chatting away. Meanwhile, upstairs in the bathroom, Melissa placed the her clothes next to the closet doors. She turned on the water in the shower, adjusting the temperature to her liking. Melissa stripped off her dirty clothes, throwing them in the dirty laundry pantry. She stepped into the hot, steamy water, letting her body soak all over. Grabbing a sponge, she poured some body wash made with aloe into the sponge and gently lathered her body throughly from the crook of her neck down to her toes. Slowly, Melissa rinsed her body off of the soapy suds, making sure that all of the body had rinsed throughly. Melissa grabbed the bottle of two-in-one shampoo/conditioner. Pouring the content on her hands, she lathered the suds on her hair, gently, making sure that every strand of hair was washed throughly. After lathering her hair, Melissa rinsed it off with the hot, steamy water, running her fingers through her hair, making sure that every soapy suds were washed away. Seeing that all the soapy suds were out of her hair, Melissa wetted her hair one last time throughly and shut off the water.
Melissa walked out of the shower and getting the big towel from the floor, wrapped the towel around her body, covering herself completely. Melissa took the small towel that was next to the big one and wrapped her hair around, making sure that it was nice and snug. Opening up her drawer next to the sink, Melissa got a bottle of Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin and poured a good amount of the contents on her hand. Lathering the soap on her hands, she gently scrubbed her face with the contents, making sure that she was covered everywhere on her face, with no areas missing. Melissa turned on the water in a warm temperature. She proceeded to wash her face off of the soapy suds, rinsing throughly. Taking a small towel that was next to the sink, Melissa dried her face off, wiping away any remains of the face wash. Melissa unwrapped her towel from her body and started to dry herself off, from the top of her neck down to the bottom of her feet. She retrieved her pink briefs from the floor and slipped them on along with her dark, blue jeans. She strapped on her pink bra and put on her pink t-shirt. Melissa proceeded to put on her white socks and her sneakers. Taking the pink belt from the floor, Melissa strapped it around her waist, making sure that it was tugged firmly. Unwrapping the towel from her hair and started to dry her hair with the towel. After finishing drying her hair, Melissa took a brush from the drawer and start to straighten her hair out, making sure that every strand was smoothed out. Melissa tossed the dirty towel in her dirty laundry pantry. Using the bathroom mirror, Melissa put on her makeup carefully so as to not get her clothes smeared.
Melissa walked out of the bathroom and got her purse from the bedroom. She walked downstair towards the kitchen, where Mindy and Sandy were chatting away.
"So, are y'all ready for shoppin," Melissa exclaimed.
Mindy and Sandy looked at Melissa. "Whoo! Melissa, ya got yerself all dressed up," Sandy commented. "Yeah, Melissa. You look pretty good," Mindy agreed.
"Aww...shucks fellas," Melissa responded, "I ain't dressed fer a ball or nothin fancy like that. I'm just goin to the mall for shoppin."
"Well, what are we waitin fer? Let's get too it," Sandy exclaimed.
Mindy, Sandy and Melissa walked out of the house. Sandy walked up to the hanger and put on her diving suit along with her air helmet. Soon, the trio of friends jumping inside Melissa's motorboat and took off to Downtown Bikini Bottom. Melissa parked at the parking lot to the mall and entered inside the mall, with Sandy and Mindy following her.
The girls walked around the mall, looking at the various shops and stores inside the mall. Mindy looked around the various jewelry that was displayed through the windows while Sandy looked at all the girls hanging around with their boyfriends, perplexed at how the girls were behaving. Melissa continued walking through the mall area until her eyes were centered at a store called Charlotte Russe (A/N: Do not own Charlotte Russe). Melissa turned around and looked at Mindy and Sandy.
"This store looks mighty interestin'. Let's check it out," Melissa said.
Melissa, Sandy, and Mindy entered into the store and looked around. They saw all sorts of shorts, skirts, jeans, capris and mini's. Melissa grabbed a few shirts, skirts and dresses, bringing them into the fitting room. Mindy checked out an array of formal dresses and casual dresses, picking some out that she liked and bringing them to the fitting room to try them on. Sandy was looked at all the halter tops, jeans, and jean mini skirts. She quickly grab some jean skirts, halter tops plus other dresses, bringing them with her to the fitting room.
Melissa started to try on some dresses, trying on a black halter top with a pink skirt on. After looking at the clothing she was wearing, she quickly discarded them and tried on the next pair of outfits.
Mindy was trying on a black and white dress on. The dress had spaghetti straps on them and flowed down gently down to her fins. Mindy frowned to herself, noticing her fins. Mindy quickly took off the dress and started to try the outfits.
Sandy was trying on a halter top dark jean shirt and a plaid mini jean skirt. Sandy looked over her quickly looked at herself in the mirror, nodding to herself in disappointment. She quickly took off the clothing and started to try on the other outfits.
The girls spent three long hours inside the store, constantly trying on outfits. Finally, the girls came out of the fitting rooms, with the outfits that they liked.
Melissa was wearing a red tube top with a black skirt that was flowing through the underwater currents. Melissa quickly took off the outfits and changed back to her regular clothes, taking her new outfits with her.
Mindy was wearing a black halter top with a black skirt on that swayed around her, through the underwater currents. Mindy quickly took off the outfit, changing back into her regular clothing. She walked out of the fitting room, carrying her new outfit.
Sandy was wearing a white halter top with a jean mini skirt on and a plain cowboy hat. Sandy immediately smiled to herself, looking at the outfit. She quickly changed back to her diving suit and air helmet, taking the clothes with her out of the fitting room.
All three girls walked up to the cash register and payed for their items. Melissa, Sandy and Mindy walked out, carrying their new outfits for the date.
"Well, we got pretty good outfits for the date tonight," Mindy commented.
"Yeah. All we need now is some shoes to go with these outfits," Melissa replied, holding her bag.
"Sheoot...these dresses are purtier than the twilight sunsets of Texas," Sandy commented.
"Well, maybe for you two..but, I'm stuck with my fins," Mindy sorrowfully said. Melissa looked at Mindy's fins and smirked, and idea instantly popping up in her head.
"Mindy, let's stop by the restroom," Melissa said, smirking inwardly.
"Okay Melissa," Mindy replied. The three girls headed towards the ladies restrooms. Inside the restroom, Melissa checked all the stalls to make sure that it was completely empty. She then walked up to the main door and locked the door tightly. Sandy looked at her, puzzled at what Melissa was doing. Melissa quickly walked up to Mindy, looking at her and smirking.
"Don't worry, Mindy! For tonight, you're going to enjoy yourself and have fun. You don't have to worry about those fins," Melissa said, pointing to Mindy's fins.
Mindy looked at Melissa nervously, sweating as to whatever Melissa was planning to do. Instantly, Melissa eyes turned into an aqua color, and a blue glow started to emit from around her. Instantly, a blue trident appeared before her, in which Melissa instantly grabbed the blue trident, glowing brightly.
"Now hold still, Mindy!" Melissa ordered, pointing the blue trident at Mindy's fins. Mindy closed her eyes and stood still, not wanting to see what Melissa was about to do to her. Melissa let a small, blue energy flow towards Mindy's fins, in which the energy beam instantly glowed around her fins. Mindy kept absolutely still, fearing that she might hurt herself. Soon, the energy beam disappeared, revealing that Mindy's fins were gone and were replaced by two long legs. Sandy looked at Mindy in awe, seeing her new legs in full.
"Whoo...ya got legs now, Mindy!" Sandy commented. Mindy instantly looked down and saw that her fins were replaced with two legs. Mindy looked up at Melissa, smiling at her tearfully.
"Oh, Melissa. Thank you," Mindy tearfully exclaimed, hugging Melissa tightly.
"Aww shucks, Mindy. It was nothing too it," Melissa said, hugging Mindy back. The two friends broke off, with Mindy walking on her new legs, trying them out. Mindy gleeful squealed out, happy that she had legs for her date tonight. Melissa instantly formed a pair of jeans and some sandals from Mindy, since all she had on was some pink panties. Mindy quickly took the jeans and slipped them on, as well as the sandals. Soon, the blue trident disappeared and Melissa's eyes changed back to normal, with only Sandy, Mindy and Melissa standing in the middle of the bathroom floor.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let go and get some shoes," Melissa exclaimed.
The three girls walked out of the bathroom, unlocking the door, and headed towards the shoe department in Nordstrom(A/N: Again..do not own Nordstrom). Inside the department store, the girls went up the third floor, into the shoe department. The girls looked around the at the shoe department, looking at different types of shoes.
Melissa grabbed a pair of red short heeled shoes and tried them on. Finding the shoes uninteresting, Melissa took off the shoes and tried on some other pairs of shoes.
Mindy tried some high heeled black shoes, but keep stumbling at the, since she wasn't used to walking with her new legs yet. Mindy instantly took off the and started to try on some other pairs of shoes.
Sandy took off her diving suit boots and started to try on some white sandals to go with her outfit. After looking at the mirror, and slightly tripping over the sandals, Sandy took off the sandals and went on to try some other shoes.
Two hours passed by, the girls trying out shoes until they finally found the shoes that fitted them perfectly.
Melissa got a pair of nicely heeled open-toed platform red shoes, to go with her outfit. She instantly put the shoes back inside the box and put her regular shoes back on.
Mindy got a pair of black, low heeled shoes that was open-toed, that would go with her outfit. She put her shoes inside the box and put her sandals on.
Sandy decided to get a pair of short white cowgirl boots to go with her outfit. Sandy placed her boots inside the large box and put on her diving suit boots.
All three girls then went to the cash register, paying for the shoes that they were getting for the date tonight. Soon, the girls went out of the department store, with bags full of there purchases.
"Hey girls. It looks like we're almost done shoppin'," Melissa exclaimed, "All we need now is to do our nails and then we can go home and get ready for our date."
"Oh yes! I can't wait, Melissa. We're going to have so much fun," Mindy excitedly said, "It's going to be so coral."
"Now yer soundin' like 'em teenage girls," Sandy commented.
"Oh, I can't help it. I'm just so excited about this date," Mindy gleefully said.
"I here ya, Mindy," Melissa replied.
The girls were walking towards the nail salon, across from the department store. As they were walking, Pearl was walking towards them, along with her group of friends. Pearl instantly spotted Melissa, Sandy, and Mindy walking inside the nail salon place.
"Hey, Pearl. Isn't that your friend, Melissa?" a teenage girl pointed out.
Pearl quickly looked towards to where the teenage girls was pointing too, seeing Melissa entering into the nail salon with Mindy and Sandy in tow. Pearl immediately turned around and looked at her friends.
"Come on, girls. Let's go and visit them," Pearl exclaimed giddily. Pearl and her group of friends started to head towards the nail salon. Melissa, Sandy, and Mindy were sitting in some cushioned seats, getting their manicure and pedicures. Pearl walked inside the nail salon with her drove of friends. She spotted Sandy, Mindy, and Melissa getting their nails and toes done.
"Hey girls," Pearl shouted, waving too them. Melissa instantly looked up, seeing Pearl in the middle of the room, with her throng of friends.
"Hey Pearl," Melissa greeted. Pearl instantly walked up to the trio of girls, with her friends following closely behind her.
"So, what are you doing here?" Pearl asked.
"We're gettin' ready fer our dates t'night," Sandy exclaimed.
"You're going out on a date, Sandy?" Pearl inquired.
"Yep...I sure am!" Sandy said happily.
"I am too. In fact, me, Melissa and Sandy are going out on a triple date tonight," Mindy explained.
Pearl and her girl friends squealed in excitement, giggling at each other. Pearl thought of an idea.
"Hey..Melissa. What if we came over to your house and do your makeup and hair for tonight? That would be so coral," Pearl suggested.
"Ooo..please..you gotta let us help," the group pressured.
"Sigh...Alright girls! You can come over and do our hair and makeup. Come to the house in one hour," Melissa stated.
"YAY!" the girls squealed, making Sandy, Mindy and Melissa cringe. Soon, Pearl and the rest of her friends left. Sandy and Mindy just stared out towards where the girls left.
"Now..I know somthin' ain't gonna go good from this," Sandy remarked.
"I have the same feeling, Sandy," Mindy replied, cringing in fear.
An hour later, the girls finished having their nails painted and polished to perfection. Melissa was wearing a light pink french manicure and pedicure, with her eyebrows waxed into a perfect curved shaped. Her nails had a pink flower decorated on them, with bits of glitter on the flower.
Mindy's nails were painted in a reddish auburn color, in which it matched with her foots as well, evenly coated.
Sandy had her nails coated in a creamish pink color, with a flower painted on the tips of her thumb nails, matching her pink flower that held onto her air helmet. Soon, after paying the cashier, the girls trotted out of the salon place, with their bags in hand, and their nails glittering throughout the mall area.
"Well..I guess we have everything. Let's go home and get ready for our date for tonight," Melissa said.
"I'm right with ya! I'm not to pickin' over havin' Pearl in her friends over though," Sandy cringed.
"Don't worry. I'm sure that they'll help us out. After all, they volunteered to do our hair and makeup," Mindy remarked.
"You obviously don't know Pearl and her friends, Mindy," Melissa smugly replied, slumping down her shoulders, "When they set to do something, they go for it full force."
Mindy giggled at the response, while Sandy rolled her eyes. Melissa smiled at Sandy and Mindy, both excited about the date tonight. Melissa picked up her bags again and exited out of the mall, with Sandy and Mindy following her closely.
Soon, the girls entered into the motorboat and took off, driving away from Downtown Bikini Bottom. Melissa turned on the radio while Sandy and Mindy were chatting away.
Soon, Melissa's biodome came into full view, with Pearl and her friends standing next to the steel entrance door. Melissa pulled up towards her biodome and parked her motorboat. Sandy, Mindy, and Melissa got out of the motorboats with their bags in tow. The three girls walked up towards the steel door, smiling nervously at Pearl and her throng of teenage girl friends.
"Hey Pearl!" Melissa greeted, waving her hand slightly. Pearl ran up to Melissa, giving her a big hug.
"Uh...Pearl," Melissa grunted, "I..need...air!"
"Oh...sorry, Melissa. I'm just so excited!" Pearl responded, letting go of Melissa, who shortly gasped for air. Melissa slowly stood up, smiling weakly at Pearl. Pearl had a bring grin plastered on her face, holding a huge pink bag with her. Mindy and Sandy shook their heads, knowing that this was going to be a long couple of hours with Pearl and her friends.
"It's okay Pearl. I'm glad that you came," Melissa said, "So..are you and your friends ready to come in?"
"Sure. We brought all our supplies plus a bunch of magazines and book for ideas," Pearl exclaimed. The teenage girls nodded in response, holding up the items.
"Okay then. Let's go inside," Melissa said, turning the steel door open. Sandy, Mindy, Melissa and Pearl, with her friends, walked inside to the inner chambers of the walkway. Melissa stopped and turned around, facing the girls.
"Since I don't have water helmets for everyone, I'm going to hand you some water pills that I made with Sandy," Melissa stated, "These water pills will allow you to go into my biodome with the need of a water helmet and they can last for hours. You won't dry out."
The girls nodded, understanding what Melissa had said. Melissa took out a pill case from her pocket and opened it. Soon, she started to hand out one pill to the girls, including Mindy and Pearl. The girls immediately swallowed the pills, feeling the water rushing throughout their bodies instantly.
"Hey! I feel...like their water rushing all over my body and I'm not drying out," Mindy remarked. The rest of the girls nodded in agreement with Mindy, feeling the water pills coursing throughout their bodies.
"Ready girls?" Melissa asked. The gang all nodded to her. Melissa pressed a button next to the inner steel door, draining all the water out from the inner chambers. Melissa quickly glanced back at the girls, checking if they were alright, but the girls appeared to have no problems. Melissa turned back towards the steel door and slowly opened it. Melissa and the girls went inside through the steel door, with their bags in tow. Sandy shut the steel door behind her, getting ready to face Pearl and her friends.
