Pretend Relatives

Chapter 4

Half an hour later found Alex in a shoe store surrounded by bags he had to "watch" as Janelle tried on clothing. It took all of Alex's training to not fall asleep and yawn for either of those would lead to a death glare from Jack. It took none of his training though to see that all of this shopping was becoming old for Janelle. She would keep a smile for Jack but he noticed that she stopped picking out quite as many outfits and was making her mind up faster. Suddenly Janelle showed up next to him sitting on the tinny seat forcing him to move over.

"I will go to one more store than after that I am headed home even if it means running out of here screaming. We have been shopping for six hours, does Aunt Jack ever slow down."

"I wouldn't know I have never seen her shopping like this. I think it's because you're a girl or something." He caught part of a death glare from Janelle.

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say ninja boy." She got up and made her way over to Jack a smile plastered on her face.

Soon they left the shoe store and made their way across to a large department store. In side Jack dragged Janelle over to a dress rack and Alex scouted out a place to rest and floor space to set all of the bags he was "watching." Alex had started to nod off when all the sudden he heard a high pitched squeal like sound come from the dressing room. Poking his head around the corner he saw Jack standing with her hands covering her mouth and bouncing from one foot to another. Janelle's voice drifted from the changing room Jack stood in front of.

"Does it really look that good?" Jack reached into the dressing room and lead Janelle out of it to the mirrors that formed a half circle. Janelle had on a white dress that fell just above her knees the straps on it were tied at the top the fabric was a textured material making it a nice summer dress. The design was simple but it looked nice on Janelle. Jack grabbed a floppy woven hat from the return rack and put it on Janelle's head. The summer hat seemed to complete the outfit to a T. Janelle turned on her heels to face Alex.

"What do you think Alex?"

"It doesn't look bad on you Janelle." Janelle turned back to Jack.

"Well Aunt Jack I say we buy it and I wear it as we go get some ice cream. I would be surprised if either of you think that is a bad idea." Both agreed the dress was bought, they stopped by the house so that Janelle could change and the bags could be left there and then they made their way to a creamery where they talked like they had known each other forever.
