Disclaimer: I do not own the fallen series.
After they'd eaten, Nora decided it was as good of a time as ever to go get some new nail polish and more clothing for the school year.
"I'm still not going to do any laundry," Nora explained, crossing her arms confidently. "And you can't stop me,"
Luc rolled her eyes, laughing at her friend's weirdness as they waved good bye to their friend's They could always just call a cab back to the dorm room, and plus Luce liked hanging out with Nora, even though they did most of the day anyway.
So that's how Nora and Luce ended up walking along Main Street filled with small clothing shops and souvenir places. Nora oohed and ahhed at all the clothing. Staring longingly at one dress after the next and handling every bottle of nail polish.
"Aw, Luce look!" Nora giggled running toward an outdoor rack inside a trendy store. She grabbed a black sundress with dark red ribbon tied around the waist and stared at Luce approvingly. "Wouldn't Daniel just flip to see you in this?"
Luce rolled her eyes, but secretly, she agreed with her friend it ended a few inches above her knees and it made her dark hair sort of shine. It did look nice and finally Luce gave in.
"How much is it?" Luce asked defeated.
Nora smiled knowingly and picking it up off the rack send it towards Luce who grabbed it in both hands. "Twenty,"
"Come on," Nora sighed, waggling her brown eye brows. "You know you want it,"
'"It's too cold to wear it," Nora pointed out, about to toss it back to her friend.
"Oh no!" Nora commanded, running towards Luce and wagging her finger at her. "You know you want this dress. But it, make Daniel go gag a for you, and be happy that I made you buy it,"
Finally Luce gave in and bought the dress along with a short black cropped jacket that was decorated in a diagonal of copper buttons shaped like small suns. It was a good combination, though Luce wasn't in love with wearing so much of the shade, it did look pretty cool and Nora made a point of telling her so.
"I swear, wear it on your next date with him and he will flip," Nora was chatting away effortlessly, pulling her glasses from the top of her head and over her eyes as they exited the dirty. "I can't wait to hear all about it either,"
"What makes you think I'll tell you?" Luce asked, rolling her eyes. "Oh, you know you will,"
Suddenly, a small figure ran in front of them making Nora tip forward and Luce grabbed her friends arm and jerked her back just as a little girl stopped in front of them, her blue eyes wide.
"Hey," Nora said, pushing her glasses up. "You okay?"
The tiny girl nodded her dirty blonde hair flopping into her eyes all but weren't in two tight pig tails. "S-sorry,"
"It's okay, sweetie," Nora replied kneeling down to her eye level. She was great with kids, having three younger brothers and sisters of her own. "What are you doing here running around town all alone? Where are your parents?"
"They're-um, back…..back there," The girl said vaguely taking a step back and grabbing onto a lock of her hair.
"Lucy!" Someone called and all three girl turned around to see an elderly couple walking toward them. There was an elder woman, with dish water blonde hair and brown eyes with a permanent smirk on her face and her left hand on her large obviously pregnant stomach. Next to her was a boy with insanely blue eyes and an ancient dodger's cap pulled down lower and then a little girl about a few years older than the one in front of Luce watching them.
"Why there you are, Lucy" The elder girl replied, crossing her arms and smiling at Lucy. "We've been looking for you,"
"Sorry, Ellie," Lucy murmured.
Lucy ,Luce thought, her brown eyebrows starting to furrow. Just like me. That's….weird.
"You shouldn't run off like that," The man told the little girl, shaking his finger down at her. "You're lucky these two girls stopped you," He looked up at them suddenly and Luce could have sworn something flickered in his eyes. "T-thank you, girls for looking out for our daughter,"
"No problem," Luce and Nora replied.
"I'm Shelby Fisher," The blonde woman said suddenly as her little girl ran behind her mother, holding out her hand to Luce and after she took it held it out toward Nora. "This is my husband Miles and our daughters Ellie and Lucy,"
"Pleasure to meet you," Ellie said smiling an oddly mischievous smile.
"The pleasure is all ours," Luce's roommate replied without missing a beat. "I'm Nora and this is my roommate Luce. We go to Emerald University which is a few miles away,"
"College girls," Miles replied grinning and Shelby hit him in the shoulder.
Luce smiled. 'Yeah, are you new to the area?"
"How can you tell?" Shelby asked, smiling. "Our plane landed a few hours ago and we were just looking at the sights and looking for a baby sitter for these two,"
"Mommy, can she watch us?" Lucy asked suddenly peeking from her place behind her mother's legs.
"Yes, can she?" Ellie asked smiling at Luce. "She seems nice and she is a local,"
"Actually, I'm not," Luce admitted. "Nora is the real townie,"
"Perfect then," Ellie answered smoothly. "Maybe Nora can tell my parents about some good restaurants and you can watch us back at the hotel room. Please mom? Dad?"
"I don't see why not," Miles replied, looking over at Luce. "As long as she doesn't have a problem being tortured by you girls tonight?"
"Please?" Lucy asked, taking a step forward and clasping her hands in front of her chest. "Pretty please?"
"Well…" Luce said hesitantly. On one hand, she really wanted to go out with Daniel again tonight, but she could always use the money, and they looked really sweet. "I guess do," Luce admitted and both of the Fisher girls smiled.
. . .
"Ooh she's good," Arriane said approvingly, watching the girls down below play Luce into baby-sitting them.
"And Lucy isn't much to shy at either," Roland explained. "She's going to be quite the announcer traveler when she gets older,"
"I'd rather read minds," Arriane said defended, smiling wistfully. "Could have really used it at Swords and Cross."
"So, what's the plan now, Roland?" Annabelle asked sweetly. "Miles and Shelby obviously can talk to Luce, but that doesn't mean she'll listen to them,"
"Oh, she'll listen," Roland told his angle friend, patting her hand softly. "Trust me,"
The end! I'm sorry I haven't poste din awhile. Wisdom teeth suck! Please review!
