From Scooters To Horses
Chapter 3: Shopping spree
A.n.: Oh my, it's been a long time! Sorry for being short with updates, I'm just lazy/busy/inspiration less! And there's just a lot of stuff going on.
And my old computer is back, so I've got Microsoft Word back. I make less spelling errors now ^^'
So, here's a new chapter. Forgive me for my lateness ;A; And I made it extra long, just to say sorry to you all ^^
The sun was shining on this bright day, and Noek, Cate and Kristy were in the center of London. They tried to find at least some NICE clothes, which was hard if you consider in what time they are now. "Meeh, Why are all these clothes so dull and.. and OLD!" Cate whined. "Shut it Cate, we've been looking all day already, do you think I haven't noticed?" Noek responded, slightly irritated. As they rummaged through yet another clothes store, a young girl walked up to them. She had black hair tied in a knot, and a neat dress. She asked politely to Kristy: "Excuse me, miss, but can I help you?" "Yes, PLEASE! I'm looking for a nice purple top because my old one ripped. And I'm also looking for a pair of jeans, because there are only dresses here" Kristy responded. The woman looked at her, surprised but then her smile returned "I am very sorry, forgive my rudeness, but what are these jeans and tops you are talking about?" Kristy stared back, then sighed. "Look at my pants, that is called a pair of JEANS. And a top is basically a sleeveless shirt." The woman nodded slowly, then said "Ehm.. I don't think I've ever seen that before, or heard about it. So you won't find what you need here, I am very sorry." She said and walked away. Kristy sighed again, and walked back to her friends. "Well, I guess we have to buy a sewing machine and some fabric because these people never heard of something called FASHION." With this said, she dragged them both out of the store, to the local market.
After a very long search they couldn't find any sewing machine. The man who sold fabric said they only belonged to rich people. They bought all kinds of fabric, needles and thread. As they walked home carrying all the stuff they bought (Cate had a fetish for little statues, Noek wanted some new books because the TV wasn't working anymore and Kristy needed to see the make-up they had in this time). As they walked through a street, there was a blonde man with a mask standing on a small chest, screaming something about a party. "Did he just said PARTY?" Kristy said immediately. "I've GOT to check that out!" She said when she ran to the masked man. Noek and Cate followed, but kind of irritated. "Ehm.. Masked man, sir? Where will this 'party' be?" Kristy asked, looking up at him. The man stared at her, eyes lighting up. "My my, what a curious little maiden. Well, it will be tonight at 6 and it ends on half past 12. We also have an... Auction, if you know what I mean, so don't let the Yard know about it, all right?". Kristy just nodded, but still asked herself why she shouldn't tell anything to the yard. Noek and Cate we're listening too, and Noek immediately said "Oh no, No no no! We're not going to some strange masked man's party!" ".. Pleaaase?" Kristy said, with puppy eyes. 'Damn it, puppy eyes.' "S-still no.." Noek said hesitating. Kristy now had teary puppy eyes. "FINE! Alright, but stop the puppy eyes" Noek said, when finally surrendered.
When they arrived home, they threw all the fabric on the empty table, exhausted. "So.. WHY did we go all the.. way to the CENTER of the town again?" Cate said, still panting. No one gave a response. Noek looked at the tornado of fabric all over the table. "What are we going to do now? Who knows how to make clothes here?". Again, no response. Kristy now carefully grabbed some paper, and started doodling clothes on it. Noek started doing the same and eventually Cate grabbed a pencil and paper too.
Exactly 15 minutes later, loud music was set on and they were all messing around with needles and thread. "This is actually quite easy" Kristy said. Cate looked around in the bookshelf because they found a book about sewing. She hoped to find more. Another 30 minutes passed, and they finished their hard work. Kristy made a long, purple dress with white striped on it and a white collar. Cate made a black dress with blue layers at the end. Noek made a red dress with glitters (Quick a.n.: Oh, how I love sparkly things~ (No, no Twilight)) which stopped at her ankles. "FINALLY! We're done. I think we're ready for the party now." Cate said while falling on the couch, resting her tired arms on the back of the couch. She looked at the clock on the wall. It said exactly 16:20. Still 1 hour and 40 minutes left! They spend an hour talking about everything that would happen at the party. They just HAD to check out every dress.
As they still had 20 minutes left, they put on their dresses and walked to the garage. The dark, filthy garage used to have 3 scooters in it; a purple one, a blue one and a red one. But this time, it changed. They stared at the situation in a shock. Instead, their garage turned into a horse stable. It was very neat with light brown, wooden walls and dark wood used for the stables. The spider webs were all gone, somehow. There were 3 stables, with 3 horses, looking at the girls excited; A brave black horse with bright blue eyes, an excited brown horse with fiery red eyes and a quiet, white horse with purple eyes.
"Oh my! THEY ARE SO CUTE!" Kristy and Cate screamed out. Noek face palmed right after that comment. Kristy and Cate ran to the horses they liked. Cate chose the black horse and Kristy chose the white one. Noek stared at the excited-looking brown horse "So, I got YOU instead of MY scooter. Well that's great.. Awesome" She said. "Wait, what happened to the tools and everything?" Cate questioned. They turned around to look at the corner where the tools used to pimp-up their scooters. There were now 3 hay bags, some horse tools and cleaning tools. "You've got to be kidding me." Noek sighed while she leaned against the stable door.
After a few minutes of figuring out how to saddle a horse, they were on their way to the party. "THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Cate shouted with a giant grin on her face. The other two just laughed with her. As they arrived at the party, they stabled their horses around the back. When they walked in they immediately got greeted by the man with the mask they met earlier that day. "Ah! Welcome! Welcome to my party, colourful robins. I'm the Viscount of Druitt. Please, enjoy yourselves!" he said with a rather enchanting, charming voice.
