Not going to lie to everyone, I'm sure you've noticed that I am absolutely stuck on this story. I thought that I loved it but I read back through it recently and suddenly I'm not so sure… Regardless I'll try to persevere and turn it into something tolerable for you guys.

Thanks so much for the reviews, you guys keep me from smacking my head against the wall x

"You need to get out, right fucking now!"

The others were studiously ignoring Mini's screeching; playing dress ups in Hot Topic was possibly the best idea that Rich had ever had, which was funny considering that he and Grace had disappeared to god knows where quite a while ago and were missing out on all the fun.

Franky looked on as Mini frantically raced around picking up clothes and accessories as Liv raced by, followed by Alo, both screaming at the top of their lungs about killer robots. Grace and Rich reappeared covered in aluminium foil and promptly chased the other two out of the store. Well there you go.

Mini sighed and dropped all the clothing back onto the floor, except for a purple bag which she threw at the wall, falling to the ground with a satisfying thud.

"Thank god, I thought they'd never leave. Look at all this mess!"

"You know they'll be back" Franky was chuckling to herself as she picked up the discarded clothing to make a large pile on the service desk.

"It's not funny you know" Mini stated, both sending pretend dirty looks to each other until Mini couldn't hold it any longer and burst into laughter, the sound of which making Franky's heart sing.

Grace ran by singing Last Friday Night and Mini couldn't help but scowl at her lovesick, crazy friend.

"They are retarded. I seriously thought they went out the back to snog, not to deprive me of wrapping my lunch for the rest of my life!"

"Snogging, hey? Not such a bad idea" Franky grinned, moving forwards and grabbing Mini by the collar of her shirt in order to drag her in for a kiss. Mini's eyes fluttered shut and she brought her hands up to run through Franky's hair, marvelling at how soft it was and at the small sounds that escaped Franky every time she moved her hand just so.

A low whistle sounded and the both parted in order to discover who had seen them, finding Alo standing there, huge grin on his face before he turned and made his way to the door.

"Lads, ladies, I say that we move on from this cavern. Beer awaits us. To the Pub!" turning back to them, Alo sent a wink their way before running off down the street, quickly followed by the others on their quest for something more exciting than Mini's six hour shift.

Seeing that Franky was still looking toward the door Mini leant in, placing a lingering kiss on Franky's neck, just behind her ear.

"That tickles"

Mini smiled continuing in her neck kissing, only interrupted by the soft sounds of Franky murmuring her name.

"What is it Franky?"

"Will you go somewhere with me tomorrow?"

Mini pulled away and smiled, beginning to sort the mountain of clothes.

"Of course I will Franks. We'll go wherever you want.

.

"A Camel?"

Franky nods and smiles, turning to look down the bus at the other passengers; some of them stared back so she smiled before turning back to the beautiful blonde who sat beside her with the most incredulous expression on her face.

"Yes Mini, a camel. Will that be a problem?"

Mini let out a breath and turned her head to stare at the space in front of her.

"No, I don't suppose it will"

The continued in silence for a while, the children a few seats behind them argues quietly and the bearded man across the way held tightly to the box in his arms as the bus jostled them along the busy road, holding on hand out to hold himself steady as the bumps came. Franky stared in wonder at the box.

What could be so precious?

She was distracted from her thoughts by Mini's quiet voice.

"I've never actually seen a camel before. Only in pictures"

Franky turned to smile at the girl beside her who tentatively smiled back before elbowing Franky in the ribs and then leaning into her, rolling her eyes as she turned to stare out the window at the dark angry clouds.

Franky realised that she didn't have to hold tightly to what she thought was precious.

It was sitting right there beside her.

.

"So when shall it be official?"

"You'll have to be more specific, Alo"

Currently Franky was in Toxic Bob's shop with Alo and Rich, flicking absently through the cds, occasionally pulling out the cover art that caught her eye while Alo stood behind her, arms crossed and staring at the ceiling.

Rich had gown off to do… whatever it was that he did while here.

"You know- you and Mini"

"What do you mean?"

Alo rolled his eyes and looked at Franky, who was still flicking through the cds idly. Alo himself had given up on flicking through the racks a long time ago. Even so, he'd probably touched every cd in this store twenty times.

He grinned to himself. That sounded a bit porny.

"Franks, don't be stupid. You know what I mean. You'll ask her to be your own, she'll fall into your arms…"

"You'll be the lamest most clichéd person ever…"

Alo laughed, finally dropping his arms and moving to wrap them around Franky from behind, leaning his chin on her shoulder and looking at the cd she'd taken an interest in; a gorgeous blonde in a forrest, incidently.

"I love you Franky, and Mini is just lovely. You both deserve someone special"

"I love you too Alo, but I'm not sure it's like that"

Alo pulled away as Rich returned, brown bag of cds in hand.

"Sure Franky, it's not like that, and I'm secretly in love with Rich. Let's go!"

Rich shot her a bewildered look, following Alo out the door and to the van, the redhead shout about victory and freedom the entire time.

Franky stood stock still, staring at nothing as she thought about what Alo had said.

Was it really like that?

"Hey girl"

She turned to see Toxic Bob observing her, amused expression on his face

"I think your friends are leaving"

She turned her head to see the van pulling away, Rich leaning out the window to signal the rock sign at a gobsmacked Franky.

She quickly chucked the Forrest Blonde cd back into the rack before dashing out the door and after the van, Toxic Bob's laughter following her on the way out.
