[AAAH! I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD! Well, it didn't really, compared to my other stories. Which have now gone just little over a month without being updated. Which I'm really sad about T^T Damn writer's block!
Damn it to hell!
Anywho, I'm pretty sure I was gonna say something, but I cannot for the life of me remember what, so I'm just gonna tell you to enjoy!]
Chapter4
The shopping trip...
Alice's POV
My bag was small. About the size of a thick book. It had been known to carry Skulduggery Pleasant Mortal Coil and Alice in Wonderland, book of the film by Tim Burton. It was also known as Mary Poppin's bag.
Right now, it was carrying my purse (that held English pounds and pennies), Alice in Wonderland, book of the film by Tim Burton, 3 pens, 4 pencils, 2 rubbers (erasers for you Americans), a sharpener, my mobile phone, my phone's charger, 4 drawings and my lucky teddy.
I was also using it to hit Ed around the head.
Classic old-lady-about-to-be-mugged style. You know the one.
"DON'T CALL ME SHORT, YOU FRIGGIN' TWOLLAP!" I shouted, using my very own insult. It's not as good as bathtub though.
Bathtub is the most insulting insult ever. Try it. No-one ever has anything to say back when you use it.
I was chasing Ed up and down the street we were currently on. I almost tripped over Ed's oversized shoes that I was borrowing, but I never actually fell over. Which I'm quite proud about.
"OW. OW. OW. OW!" Was the response that I got from the blonde boy.
Al sweat dropped. I could see it.
*~*Time Skip*~*
I skipped hand in hand with my new friend Momo. I had half expected her to tickle me back after what happened the night before. I had given up on the theory that this was a dream. When I had woken up in the room next to Momo, I had to start believing it was real.
Ed was trailing behind, dragging his feet, and obviously not wanting to be here. Al was walking with Ed, mostly cos he didn't want Ed to be alone.
Skippity skip-skip! I love skipping!
I dragged Momo to the first clothes shop I saw. I didn't realize that it was an Amestrian version on Ann Summers until I was inside. Ann Summers is a shop that sells kinky underwear for girls. Lacy bras and the likes.
Perfect for when a hot girl wants to tease their boyfriend.
Oh well! This ought to embarrass Ed and Al.
I poked my head back out of the shop "Come on guys! Hurry up." Then I disappeared into the shop. Momo followed.
The boys' reaction was priceless.
As soon as they saw what type of shop it was, Ed turned a shade of red that I had never seen before and Al just squealed and ran out.
It was much funnier than that, but honestly, if I told you, your brains would explode from the funniness of it all.
Me and Momo stayed in the shop for about an hour, making Ed and Al wait outside. I wasn't sure about the other girl, but I had no interest in the kinky undergarments that surrounded me. I was just here to make Ed and Al suffer!
Muahahahaha! I know, I'm evil.
"Hey! Edo-kun." I called, poking my head out of the door. "People are going to think you're perverts if you stand in front of a shop like this." He flushed again as I cackled evilly.
"It's not like we really have a choice." He grumbled. Momo walked out and started sniffing.
"I smell food." She said. I stared at her before I realized that I did too. My stomach grumbled.
I'm not hungry I thought to myself. My stomach growled in reply and I sighed. "Fine! You win." I replied to the belly, which caused the boys to look at me. I looked back.
"Boy with money! Take us to a food place! NOW!" Momo said chirpily. I nodded to show my agreement. Ed glared at us, before turning and walking off. Al jogged to catch up with him.
"Brother! Wait up!" I snorted with laughter and ran to catch the other two up, not caring at that moment if Momo was following.
Don't look at me like that! My stomach had spoken!
*~*Time Skip*~*
"Do you think... that man's dead yet?" I asked Momo over the top of the menu. The boys looked at me curiously.
"What man?" Ed asked. I stuck my tongue out.
"No-one for you." Momo replied, knowing exactly who I meant. She thought for a while before answering. "Considering that... the boy looks older than 14, I think he is." I nodded and sighed.
I knew I shouldn't have got my hopes up. Oh wait... We don't even know if he is older than 14.
"Ed?" I said. He looked up over the menu and grunted. "How old are you?" I asked.
"16." He answered without hesitation.
Damn. He's really dead then.
Cue mental river of tears. That means I can't put my ultra cool plans into action! I really wanted to meet Hughes as well.
I KNOW! To relieve my sadness and frustration, I will torment Edward!
"You're 16 and you're that small?" I commented.
I revelled in his anger. He kept it in check really well though. I think he didn't want to cause a commotion in such a small place.
Wow, when did the FullMetal Alchemist get so mature?
"You're. Smaller. Than. Me." He replied through his teeth. "You can't say anything."
I yawned. "Rawr bitch, rawr" I retorted. Giving the menu one last look through, I threw it on the table in disgust. "Don't they sell vegetarian stuff here?" I whined.
No-one answered. Bored, I kicked Momo under the table. I would've kicked Ed or Al, but I didn't want to risk Ed's automail leg or Al's armoured one.
That was when our furious game of footsie started.
Hmm, maybe I'll just have chips (fries) for lunch.
Morgan's POV
That underwear store was…interesting. I'm not sure why Alice wanted to stay in there so long but whatever. I saw some pretty cute things. Now if only I had money. But Ed has it all…and somehow I don't really want to ask him to by me panties. That would be weird. Like extremely weird.
After we had finished lunch (Ed bought me spaghetti!) we continued shopping. Ed made sure to steer us both clear of any lingerie stores. Al helped him. I think we may have scarred the poor boy.
I was off in my own la-la-land. I glanced at Ed. He said he was 16. That made him my age. And he was also my height. Haha, I would have to bug him about that later.
We passed by a small store. I did a double take. OMG they had some sweet jewellery!
"ED, WE NEED TO GO THERE!" I pointed, hopping excitedly as I held the blonde's arm. He stumbled slightly and looked where I was pointing before deadpanning.
"No." he grabbed my hand and started to pull me away, trusting Al was already leading Alice.
"AL I WANNA GO THERE TOO!" yeah, Al was definitely following his lead. They sure were being careful about where they let us go. Well…I don't suppose I could blame them. We did kind of accidentally drag them into a lingerie store...
"Oh, look that place is perfect!" Alice exclaimed behind us, pointing to a shop across the street. We stopped and looked at it. I felt a smile creep across my face.
It really was perfect. It was a slightly trendy place, and although it didn't look very popular, it had just what we needed. I started to tug Ed over, leaving Alice to deal with Al. what can I say? It was clothes!
*~*Time Skip*~*
I felt a lot better once I had bought (made Ed buy) some new clothes and shoes. The clothes weren't the same as what I was used to, but were about as close as it was going to get.
At least I wasn't still borrowing a pair of Ed's second hand shoes. That had been disturbing. Not to mention they were like two sizes too big. How did such a shrimp have such huge feet anyways?
"Hey Morgan, let's go already." Said shorty called.
"I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT TERRIBLE NAME!"
Alice giggled and skipped by us, "Ed and Momo sittin' in a tree…" I felt myself turning bright red and chased her. Dam, for someone even shorter than me she is fast. I decided to use my extreme randomness and clumsiness to my advantage, and promptly tripped over absolutely nothing. It was a rather magnificent fall if I do say so myself.
"OWWWWW!" and cue fake tears. Immediately Al and Alice came rushing to my side. Ed was the only one who didn't. In fact, he was busy looking at me with narrowed gold eyes. Humph, I guess he doesn't like my plan.
"Momo, you okay?" Alice hovered over me. Bingo. Perfect position for payback for today and yesterday. I grinned evilly but it was too late for her to move.
I pounced.
"Ha! Got ya!" I grinned madly down at her. "So Aly…are you ticklish?"
"…..no…."
Success! I tickled her.
"Ahahaha-stop-hahaha" Tehe. This was fun. She wasn't half as wiggly as I was, but she was twice as loud. And she kicked and hit and bit more as well. I could feel people staring at us. Meh. Who cares?
"M-M-Momo! St-ha-stop!" tears were streaming down her face as I tickled everywhere I could reach, even as she started wriggling. I think I was laughing as hard as she was.
Suddenly I was lifted off of her and held about two feet off the ground. Wow…I could see everyone from up here!
"Momo, please stop." I turned as best as I could to look at Al's face (helmet?).
"But whyyyy, I was having fun. And you never helped me yesterday when she was tickling me."
"Because we were in a room. Now we're in public."
Ahh, a very good point. I saw quite a few glances at us. What? Have they never seen two girls in a massive tickle fight before?
They haven't lived!
"Alright. Now put me down." I was lowered to the ground. Aww sad face…I kind of liked the view from that height. Oh well. I started to merrily skip away. Alice joined me. The brothers just followed us.
"And now, we shall finish our shopping!" I declared happily.
But that was before I saw the shop. OMG!
Without alerting the others, I ran for the small store. It was a book store! Okay, so yes, I am a major book nerd. Sue me
I rushed into the store and was immediately in heaven. I was aware of Alice behind me for a while, but then she went somewhere else inside the shop. It smelt like paper and ink in the shop. Mhmmmm. Paradise.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" an older man came up to me. I nodded excitedly.
"Yeah, can you please show me where the fiction books are?" he nodded. I liked him. He wasn't like some of those creepy white haired old men you see in those strange movies, or like those uptight old ladies who said shush in libraries. He was just a nice, normal man.
He led me to the back area, where there was a cosy section of space filled with many books. There was even a chair there. "Thank you." He smiled and left me to read.
And read I did. I grabbed the first interesting sounding book, and opened it. To be honest, I had no clue where the others had gone, and time flew by. It wasn't until I was roughly grabbed and dragged back to the real world that I realized it was dark outside. The first thing I saw was a pair of angry gold eyes. Oh crap.
[HELLO AGAIN! Anywho! I think Alice will turn into more of an OC than me in later chapters. Just to warn you, but she'll still be more for loads of chapters yet! :D
