Finaly, I'm putting this up.

Chapter 2, Clothes.


Aridrinna stepped out of the bathroom, clutching at the towel that was wrapped around her body. She looked down the corridor, then in the opposite direction. No one. 'Well,' she sighed, 'I'll bound to bump into someone soon or later.' She started to walked and bumped, literally into Junko.

"Oof!" she grunted as she fell to the floor.

"Sorry!" he said. She smiled up at him.

"Don't worry, no bruises, only me startled, that's all." Junko smiled.

"Uhh…I was supposed to give you this; Piper is busy working on some crystals and stuff…Aerrow is busy with chores, so I'll be you're guide okay?" Junko said, handing Aridrinna the parcel as she got up. She looked at it. The parcel was a bunch of old clothing: plain orange shirt, civilian camo pants, and underneath that, black underwear and sports bra, plus some old boots.

"Thanks. Can you wait here while I put these on?" Junko shrugged.

"Sure."

"Thanks."



She came out again, dressed in the clothes this time instead of a simple skimpy towel. She still had her hair down. Junko smiled.

"Now, where do you wanna go first?" Aridrinna blinked. She needed Fly Hook items. Now where to look …



"…The Storage room? Are you sure?" Junko asked nervously. Aridrinna nodded.

"Positive."

The Storage room was filled to the brim with crates, boxes, and excess stuff that no one really need but with Stork's paranoia and Finn and Junkos' pack rat quirk, it never gotten thrown away. Aridrinna was glad. She began shuffling through the boxes.

"What is you looking for-Hey? My old hat!" Junko happily said, plunking a hideous contraption on his head. The Fly Hook stared.

"That's a hat?"

"My grandma gave it to me for my birthday."

"…Sure, lets go with that," Aridrinna replied, going back to rummaging. She found a box that looked promising…

"As for your earlier question, I just want to-AHA!" she triumphantly held up a unique pair of shoes, brown with a green circle in the center of the sole. Junko stared at them.

"What? They're just shoes."

"Not just any old pair of shoes-special shoes that helps Hooks walk on the side of the ship," she smirked, kicking off her boots to put the new ones on. She smiled. Perfect fit.

"And there's a Hook's belt and gloves in here too!!" she squealed delightedly, grabbing them and putting them on. "Perfect! It's a shame that there's not goggles…" she trailed off, disappointed. Aridrinna sighed and reached for a box. She and Junko searched some more, but all they found was some weird crazy fetish things, some spare broken parts, a rubber ducky, Finn's old kazoo, a poster of Snipe with a mustache drawn on, a black box that said "Aerrow" on it and wouldn't open when they tried to, a strange looking elastic hair band that had a green crystal on it but looked rationally harmless (Aridrinna slipped that on her wrist for later), Finn's old boomerang, Finn's old baseball bat, The skeleton of Finn's pet bat (they both screamed at that), Finn's sombrero, Finn's ("What is with all of Finn's items?" asked Aridrinna. "Stork also kinda uses this place to hide Finn's stuff that he considers annoying," replied Junko. "…What about the sombrero?" questioned Aridrinna again. "That was Piper, I think," said Junko) old poster of some random Amazonian chick ("That was Stork again, I'm pretty sure," Junko replied to Aridrinna's unasked question.), random junk, and finally some Fly Hook equipment, which Aridrinna said that was incredibly lucky and that whoever had this ship before possibly had a Fly Hook. Or was just an impulse shopper. After that, nothing. They sat on the boxes and discussed where to go next. Junko then sat up and gave an exclamation.

"Hey! I know where else we can look!" Aridrinna looked at him.

"You do? Where?" she queried.


"…My friends say that it's worse than a trash heap, and Finn doesn't really like to go in here because of the smell he says, but I love it! I collect a bunch of things…though, I haven't really figured out what to do with them yet," Junko said, smiling as he showed the girl his room. Aridrinna walked around. Piles and Piles of stuff were littered around. Then something caught her eye. Something shining in the dim light and looking all too familiar.

'I can't be…' eyes widening. 'No way…not…'

"…It is! FLY GOOGLES!!!" shrieked Aridrinna, holding up the oddly looking copper goggles. Junko stopped with his rambling and turned to see Aridrinna tying up her hair with the hair band she found. She then began to put on the goggles, twisting some of the knobs on it.

"Uhh…what are you doing?" he asked curiously.

"These are Fly Goggles!! They're super mega extra special rare; even before what happened to my home terra, few Fly Hooks had these. The goggles have a special type of lens made from a special combination of crystal, plastic, and regular glass so they're sturdy and strong, but if say a rock were to fly at me, they won't break, rather they would bend see?" explained Aridrinna, and with the explanation, lightly punched the oddly increscent color lens. It slightly gave away to her fist. Junko stared, wide eyed.

"Cool…" he breathed. Aridrinna nodded, smiling happily. "Plus, it only will bend to heavy stuff, so like twigs, insects or stuff like that, it won't bend. Junko, I can't believe it! I don't know about your friends, but love your room!!" Junko paused and looked at her.

"You…you really think so?" he replied, hope in his voice. Aridrinna nodded her head firmly. "Definitely. You're room had actually Fly Goggles, still intact! Plus, there's a bunch of other interesting stuff…oh, what's this…" she trailed off, ruffling around a pile, a look of interest and delight on her face. Junko stood there, still as a statue.

'She thought my room was cool…cool…'


Uh oh...looks like Junko may/may not have a slight crush on Aridrinna. Or possible that she's just one of the few that gives Junko compliments? Who knows? Hope you enjoyed this!!! R&R!!
