Ch. 8

Unexpected Acquaintance

"Oh great, just great" a women grumbled as she ran down the sidewalk, hood drawn over her head to keep out the rain that was pouring down around her. "I'm going to be late" she grumbled some more as she continued, gradually picking up her pace, but something caught her attention, bringing her to a stop.

In front of her sat a girl, no more than 15 years old, on the side walk. She wore no coat and her clothes were soaked, but she didn't move, she just sat there with her legs crossed and eyes closed. The women slowly approached her, curiosity at its peak due to her strange orange hair that didn't seem to be affected by the rain at all. She stopped a few inches away and the girl finally opened her eyes to look up at the woman curiously, letting her emerald eyes gleam in the dull lighting.

"…Hi" the girl spoke, slightly squinting her eyes when rain hit them.

The woman blinked a few more times before replying "What are you doing?"

"Resting" the girl replied.

"On the sidewalk….in a downpour" the woman inquired.

"…..yeah" the girl replied, clearly not seeing her point.

The woman just stared at her a little longer before remembering what a hurry she was in "…ACK! I'm so late!" she quickly stepped passed the girl and continued running.

The girl watched as she faded into the distance before shrugging and closing her eyes again "What a strange lady"

A few minutes later, the woman made it back to her apartment and quickly entered and slammed the door behind her. Without bothering to take her heavily soaked coat off, she leaned over the couch, grabbed the remote and turned the TV on.

"…that's all for this week. Tune in next time to see who takes home the prize!" the announcer said with a cheery tone.

The woman gritted her teeth in frustration "Drat! I missed it. Why did I stop to talk to that girl? Whatever" she threw the remote onto the couch and removed her hood, revealing her strawberry orange hair. "I'll just watch it online or something" she quickly removed her shoes and wet socks before walking off towards the bathroom.

The next morning was beautiful, the sky was clear and everyone was out doing whatever they normally did on a sunny day. The woman, stood at a stand, buying a bagel, in one hand a cell phone.

"I can't believe you did that!" someone yelled over the phone.

The woman pulled the phone away for a second so as not to go death before holding it back up to her ear "It's no big deal…"

"How can you say that, Olivia? Doing something like that…how irresponsible can you be?" the voice said in a worried tone.

"I said it was no big deal! Why can't you just leave it at that?!" Olivia snapped back and immediately regretted it when her sister returned the gesture.

"Because I know you! I should've never moved away…"

Olivia cut her off "Taylor, I'm fine; you're worrying too much…"

Taylor cut her off "I'll stop worrying when you start being a little responsible"

"Hey, I have a job and an apartment don't I" Olivia said in her defense. At this point, she received her bagel and began to walk down the street.

"…..Maybe you should get a cat" Taylor finally responded.

Olivia paused in mid bite and pulled the bagel away to respond "What?"

"I think having something to take care of would be a good experience for you" Taylor stated.

Olivia shook her head in protest "No way. I'm a little too….rough to own a pet"

Taylor mumbled something about that being an understatement to herself though Olivia heard and was about to respond when she started "Maybe a plant…can you handle watering it every day?"

Olivia rolled her eyes "You know what, I gotta go"

"Wait, but…"

"Bye" she added and quickly hung up the phone, placing it into her pocket. She sighed before finally taking a bite of her bagel "I can't believe her! I'm not responsible enough. I am so responsible" she thought to herself as she looked up at the clear sky.

In that instant, she hit something and nearly fell over. Looking back down street level, she saw someone in the corner of her eye. Turning to face them, she began to vent "Hey, watch where you're…" she stopped when she realized that it was the girl from yesterday.

The girl blinked a few times in surprise before a smile appeared on her face "Hey, you're the lady from yesterday"

Olivia took a moment to look her over, she was wearing the same thing as before and her clothes still looked a little damp. She followed her light blue shirt all the way down to her mid calf and then came back up to look at the reddish orange book in her hand.

"….Yeah, and now I'm leaving, bye" Olivia lifted her hand in a slight wave while turning and walking away.

The girl watched her start before quickly catching up until she was besides the woman.

Olivia ignored her for a few minutes and continued walking, but soon the inquiring eyes became too much for her and she turned to face the teen with a glare "What?!"

The girl glanced at her briefly before pointing "What is that?"

Olivia followed her finger and was surprise to see that it was pointing at her bagel. She turned back to the girl with a skeptical look "You're kidding right?"

The girl looked at her puzzled "Kidding about what?"

Olivia stared at her some more before moving the bagel between them "This is a bagel. You eat it"

She watched as the girl studied it and couldn't help but voice her thoughts "How could you not know that?"

The girl looked up at her and smiled "Oh, I just got here a few days ago"

Olivia kept her same stare "So, bagels are sold all over the place"

"Not where I'm from" the girl said, shaking her head.

"Really?" Olivia said, leaning a little closer to her and smiled "And where are you and your parents…"

"Oh, I don't have any" she interrupted.

Olivia stood straight up, her smile gone "What are you talking about, everyone has parents"

"I don't"

"…Okay. So what happened to them?" Olivia asked.

Stripes took a moment to think about it before shrugging "Don't know. Never seen them before"

Olivia turned back to face her bagel, quickly changing the subject to something less depressing as she went to take another bite "So where have you been staying?"

Stripes quickly pointed passed her "In the woods over there"

Upon hearing this, Olivia chocked on her mouthful and swallowed it, ignoring the pain in her throat as she turned back to the teen "You've been in the woods?!" Stripes just nodded. "But there are all kinds of animals…"

Stripes interrupted with a large smile "Yup, not all of them taste good though"

Olivia just stared at her, somewhat in disgust before speeding up her past, but to her disliking, Stripes's remained besides her.

After another moment, she glanced over at her again "So…ugh…"

"Oh, I'm Stripes" she stated with another happy smile.

Olivia tried to hold back her laughter by putting her hand over her mouth, but it still came, sounding more like a cough.

Stripes stared at her with slight concern "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine" she said after regaining her composure. "I'm Olivia…"

"Nice to meet you"

"Yeah sure, whatever. Listen, I have to go" Olivia said with a roll of her eyes and quick point ahead.

Stripes' smile dulled at this "Oh, okay" she stopped walking and watched Olivia walk away. After a moment, her stomach growled and she placed a hand over it "Hmmm, I wonder if there's something to eat around?" with that in mind, she walked off.

Olivia smiled to herself as she continued to walk and enjoy her bagel "What a strange girl, making up a name like that. She probably thinks it sounds cool" she chuckled a little and continued down the street.

Elsewhere, up on a rooftop, a man was leaning against the door to the roof while his companion, a shorter blue skinned boy leaned over the edge.

"So, when do I get to have some more fun?" the man asked in a bored tone.

The boy quickly glanced back at him with a smile before resuming his gaze at the street "Very soon. I sense another nearby and this one's a lot stronger than the others we've faced"

The man shrugged and moved over to the boy "Heh, nothing we can't handle"

The boy said nothing, just smiled.

Later that day, Olivia was walking home with a satisfied grin on her face.

"Heh, that was a lot more fun than I thought it would be" she said while flexing her hand.

Her attention was quickly drawn to the flashing lights of several police cars further down the street. She quickened her pace and soon arrived at the scene of what appeared to be the biggest gang fight to ever hit the city. Gang members were strewn all over the street; some appearing to be unconscious while others were simply too injured to move. The police were taking their time picking them up and either putting them in the back of their cars or sending them off to the hospital in an ambulance.

"Ooh, I wonder who the won" Olivia mused to herself.

She then switched her attention to a cluster of officers. She did her best to move forward unnoticed until she made it to the yellow tape, hoping to get a close look at whatever they were focusing on.

"Maybe they caught one"

As they began to move, Olivia squinted to look passed them, but her eyes widened in surprise. Walking with and officer on each side and hands cuffed behind her back, was none other than Stripes.

"S-Stripes?!" Olivia called out in shock.

Stripes immediately looked around to see who had called when she noticed her. "Olivia!" she said with a smile and tried to walk towards her, but was stopped by the surrounding officers.

One of them, once assuring that Stripes wasn't going anywhere, turned to face Olivia "You know this girl?"

Olivia looked up at him not knowing what to say and looked back down at the teen in cuffs "What did you do?"

Stripes shifted her hands a little, trying to ease the scraping of the cuffs to no avail "I was trying to find something to eat and they said they'd give me something. Then they attacked me, so I beat them up"

Olivia paled at the thought "You…beat them up? All of them?"

"Yeah" Striped replied with a nod.

Olivia just stared at her amazed. All of the men lay beaten and broken on the ground, gun holes in various buildings while Stripes stood unscathed.

The officer tugged on her cuff as if punishment "Quit lying, no one's stupid enough to take on a whole gang alone"

"Oh, she definitely is" Olivia mumbled to herself.

The officer turned and looked at her with a slight glare "What was that?"

"Hmm, oh nothing" Olivia said innocently.

He wasn't convinced but left it at that and started to direct Stripes to the nearest squad car.

"Wait!" she suddenly yelled and refused to move. She forced herself and the officers, who were pulling with all their might, back over to Olivia "Can you hold my book?" she turned and showed her the book that was tightly in both hands, probably why she was so uncomfortable.

Olivia looked at the book then up at the two struggling officers, then back at the book, taking note of her strange black nails "Uh, sure" she quickly took the book and felt a heavy burden and a sense of duty sweep over her.

Stripes sighed in relief, relaxing herself a little too much as she was flung towards the car, slamming her head into the side as the officers hit the ground. They quickly got up, a little red in embarrassment and put the dazed girl into the back seat.

Olivia watched them pull off before looking down at the book. A strong aura was emanating from it and making her feel…odd "What is this?" she began to open the book in curiosity when she suddenly yawned. "Oh well, some other time" she said to herself as she turned to go home.

Meanwhile, Stripes started to come back to her senses and groaned in pain.

An officer glanced back at her in the rear view mirror "Hurts, doesn't it? That's what happens when you resist arrest"

Stripes sat up and went to rub her head and she remembered that her hands were strapped behind her back and groaned again, this time in annoyance "Can you let me go now?"

The driver chuckled a little "And why would we do that?"

Stripes leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes, trying to ease her headache "It's not safe for you to be around me unless…"

The officer in the passenger seat turned to look back at her with a big mocking grin "And who's going to…"

He was interrupted when the car suddenly hit something, jerking all three of them to attention. Before anyone could react further, something hit the car from the side, sending it rolling to the side walk and back on its wheels. Stripes quickly up righted herself, ignoring the pain in her head and blood trickling between her eyes to check on the officers, both out cold.

She sighed at this "I tried to tell you" she brought her hands close together, clutching them into fists before tugging them apart, effectively breaking the hand cuffs.

Outside, the demon stood nearby, marveling over his handiwork.

His book keeper walked up to his side with the same bored expression on his face "That wasn't much of a fight"

The boy glanced up at him with a slight smirk "Oh, but we haven't even started yet" he turned his attention back to the car "Any time you feel like coming out, or would you prefer we attack the car again!"

There was a muffled noise, before the back door forcefully swung open and Stripes stepped out, not looking too happy.

"Well, isn't your book keeper going to come out or did that little attack knock him out?" the demon said with an eager grin.

Stripes shook her head and looked at him with her usual neutral expression "No, I don't have a book keeper…"

The man gave an exaggerated sigh "Darn, and here I thought that we could have a decent fight"

The demon's grin dulled a little at this "Why don't you just give us your book…"

Stripes shook her head "Sorry, it's not here" she smiled and scratched the back of her head "And I wouldn't just hand it to you even if it was"

The demon chuckled a little "Oh, so I'll just have to beat it out of you than"

"You can try" she responded with the same grin and crouched down a little before breaking into a run.

She was fast, but the demon expected her to be.

He took a stance with both his hands out in front of him "Let's go!"

The man nodded before calling out the spell he used earlier "Tritven!"

The ground rumbled briefly before thick dark vines tore through the pavement and lashed out at Stripes'. She watched as they headed for her and grunted in acknowledgment. She weaved in and out of them with ease and before the pair was ready, she was right in front of them.

The demon took a step back in surprise and held his hands in her face "Trace!"

Trace quickly turned the page "Terran!"

The demon's eyes glowed a dull green before green smoke shot out of his hand and hit her directly in the face. He quickly moved away, Trace staying close behind.

He took a quick breathe to relax himself before laughing boldly "Ha! You probably thought you had me, but it's quite the opposite! Ha-ha…hu"

His joy was quickly interrupted when Stripes nonchalantly walked out of the smoke, not a thing wrong.

He stared in amazed shock "H-How…"

"That smoke doesn't do anything if I don't breathe it in" she responded calmly before taking another step and leaning forward on her foot.

"T-Trace!" the demon yelled, but he didn't have the chance to say anything more.

Stripes used her front foot to lunge herself forward with amazing force and collided her fist into the demon's face, pushing him back into his partner's gut and effectively knocking them both out.

Stripes quickly dug her foot into the ground to slow her speed and then walked forward once she could control her pace. She stopped besides them and glanced down "I hope that was a good enough fight for you" with that, she took off running.

Later on that night, Olivia lay in her bed, trying to get some sleep, but she just couldn't clear her head.

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling "Great, now what?" she raised one hand to rub her temples before coming to a decision "Maybe some TV will help clear my head"

She reached her hand out and turned on the lamp on the night stand besides her bed. She then placed her hands at her sides and used them as support to help her sit up when she was met with an emerald pair of eyes.

"Hi!"

Olivia pushed herself as far away as possible, banging her head hard into the head rest. She quickly raised her hands to hold the soar part.

Stripes quickly raised her hands as if to do something "Are you ok…"

Olivia interrupted her by swiftly bring her strong hand down on her head "WHAT ARE YOU DOING SNEAKING UP ON PEOPLE WHILE THY'RE SLEEPING!"

Stripes' face hit the plump mattress with such force that it bounce off and threw her backwards. Stripes immediately sat back up holding her sore head "OW! What was that for?!"

Olivia hit her again "Weren't you listening?!"

This time Stripes sat quietly whimpering while Olivia calmed down.

A thought came to mind that immediately made her forget about her rage "Wait, how'd you get away from the cops?"

Stripes stopped whimpering "Oh, the monster they were traveling in got attacked. I broke those strange restraints, beat up the bad guys and came here"

It was at that moment that Olivia noticed the broken hand cuffs on her wrists. But she wasn't fully paying attention to them "…Monster?"

"You know, those creatures that are roaming all over the roads" Stripes explained.

Olivia gave her an odd look "You mean a car?" Stripes nodded. Olivia continued to look at her oddly, but decided to change the subject "How'd you find me?"

Stripes brought one hand down from her head to rest on the bed; the broken chain jingled slightly "I followed your scent"

Olivia looked at her disbelievingly "…My scent?"

Stripes nodded "Yeah, I went back to the last place we met and followed your scent here" she leaned forward a little "Why do you smell vanillaish?"

Olivia looked at her odd and then shook her head "You must be the strangest human on the planet"

Stripes leaned forward even more "Oh, but I'm not hu…"

She was interrupted when Oliver brought her fists down on her head again "YOU CAME HERE AFTER ESCAPING FROM THE COPS!"

This time, Stripes was rebounded off the bed and decided to keep her distance.

Olivia stood and followed her to the nearest corner flexing her hand "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE…" she stopped, allowing herself a moment to think before bringing her hand to her face "Great, I'm acting like Taylor now"

Stripes stopped cowering and looked at her puzzled "Huh, who's Taylor?"

"Oh she's just my…" Olivia began to answer before stopping herself. She quickly closed the gap between them and shook her fist threateningly in her face "That's none of your business!" Stripes raised her hands in defense and tried to back up, but only bumped her head into the wall she was against.

Feeling that she made her point, whatever that may have been, she turned and went back to her bed "Whatever, we'll deal with this in the morning"

Stripes almost immediately calmed down and followed her "Take care of what?"

"You'll see, just go sleep in the living room for now" she said before laying down and pulling the covers over her. She sighed and closed her eyes, ready to sleep, but staring eyes prevented her from relaxing. "You're sleeping on the couch" she said in an annoyed tone.

"Can't I stay here?" Stripes asked innocently.

A moment later, there was a loud thump and Stripes was thrown into the hallway wall. Olivia walked over to her room door "Goodnight" she slammed the door and returned to her bed, leaving Stripes dazed on the floor.

The next morning, the two were walking down the street. Stripes, despite the previous night, walked besides the older woman, her reclaimed book in one hand at her side.

She waited patiently for an explanation, but quickly grew impatient and looked up at Olivia "So where are we going?"

Olivia pointed to a building just ahead "We're going to straighten out this mess. You're too weird to be in a gang and I'm not getting arrested for helping an escaped convicted"

Stripes just looked at her cluelessly.

Olivia groaned "Just follow me and don't say anything"

They ascended the steps to the precinct and entered. It was quite noisy inside and officers were busy at work, but everyone stopped to look at the two as they entered. Olivia gulp loudly before trying to speak, but before she could, two officers sneaked behind them and grabbed Stripes, who put up no resistance.

"Wait, she…"

An officer interrupted her "Good job bringing in this convict. We were about to go searching for her"

Olivia slinked back a little "uh sure, no problem"

Stripes looked at her puzzled "Is this what you brought me here for?"

Olivia looked at her a little guilty "Uh….yeah" she shook off the guilt and began to walk to the door "You behave now"

"Okay" Stripes said back.

"This way please" the other officer said

Stripes nodded and let them direct her further into the building.

Outside, Olivia took a deep breath "Sorry kid" she took a step away and heard a loud crash inside. Anger quickly boiled up inside her and she stomped her foot "Didn't I just tell her to behave?!" she turned to walk back inside when an explosion knocked her down.

The sound of falling debris caught her attention and she quickly got up and looked at the side of the building. Stripes stood in the middle of the parking lot bleeding from the same cut as the day before. Her attention was then drawn to the pair walking through the hole in the wall.

"I hope you didn't think you'd get away with what you did yesterday" the demon said

"What I did? You're the one that picked a fight" Stripes said in her defense

Trace gritted his teeth at her response, but quickly relaxed "I see you have your book today, but I think I rather take your life. Tritven!"

Vines broke through the pavement, this time all around her and closed in. Stripes frantically dodged them, but one scraped her across the back, causing her to grunt in pain.

The demon voiced his joy "What's the matter? You dodged them so easily yesterday. We're not gonna go easy on you"

Oliver watched in horror and shock as the fight progressed. Stripes was hit again, this time her hand and her book went flying to the ground.

"No!" Olivia cried as she ran to it. She didn't know why, but she felt that it was her duty to protect it.

Trace watched her run to it "Well look what we have hear"

"Bad move human" the demon said with a malicious grin.

Stripes turned at the sound and saw Oliver heading for the book, but she also saw a tentacle closing in on her "Watch out!"

Olivia dropped down to her knees and scooped up the book, but didn't have enough time to avoid the vine. She closed her eyes waiting for the pain, but Stripes quickly tackled her out of the way, the vine leaving a decent sized gash in her back. She quickly landed on her feet and jumped further away.

She placed Olivia on her feet and gently shook her to gain her attention "Are you okay?"

Olivia nodded stiffly "Yeah, but what about you?" she replied while looking down at her badly torn shirt.

Stripes followed her gaze and chuckled a little "Oh, it's nothing. I've been through worse"

She released her shoulders, reached down to the fabric and tore it off in one swift move, leaving her stomach exposed. She dropped it to the side and turned around, further shocking Olivia when her tail swayed freely from side to side.

Stripes glanced back over her shoulder with a weary smile "Sorry about all this, just stay here" with that, she charged off towards the pair.

Olivia dropped to her knees in shock, hearing the vicious fight in front of her, but not bothering to look up. "….What the hell is going on?!" she thought to herself.

The sound of a new spell caught her attention and she looked up to see Stripes surrounded by green smoke. It didn't look too threatening, but Stripes was slightly swaying and her eyes dulled as if in some kind of trance.

"Ha, pretty effective now, isn't it!" the demon gloated.

Stripes didn't seem to hear him as she swayed. The demon chuckled some more before raising his hands.

"NO!" Olivia yelled out again. The book in her hands glowed immensely and a word came to mind "Satoren!"

She quickly shut her eyes to keep out the sudden brightness and felt an immense heat sweep over her. When it passed, she cracked open an eye and then opened them both in amazement. Stripes stood at the end of a long trail of destruction that lead far off into the distance, the short demon boy was gone and Trace laid on the ground slightly singed.

Stripes blinked a few time as if just waking up and looked around. She then looked over at Olivia with a big smile "Maybe a little less power next time"

Olivia stood and walked over to her "What was…"

Stripes rubbed the back of her head nonchalantly "Yeah, I know, I have a lot to explain…"

"Freeze!"

"Huh?' both girls said turning to look at the officers that quickly surrounded them.

"Put your hands up!" another called.

"HUH?!" Olivia said again, completely taken by surprise.

Stripes calmly looked at her "Why does he want us to do that?"

Present time

Stripes smiled happily at her audience "And that's how we met"

Brago kept his eyes closed and remained quite while Sherry tried unsuccessfully to hold back her laughter.

Stripes looked at her concerned and puzzled "Are you okay?"

Sherry managed to stop her laughter and wiped away a few tears that had formed in her eyes "Yeah, I'm okay. I see why your book keeper was so upset with you now. You get into a lot of trouble"

Stripes folded her arms in defiance, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled "Okay, I bet Brago caused some trouble when you met him"

Brago tensed at her statement and Sherry chuckled nervously before the thought brought up the sad memory of losing her friend and she slumped slightly with a serious face.

Stripes noticed and felt a pang of guilt "Uh, sorry. I…"

"No, it's okay. I'm just tired. I should probably rest while I can" she laid down on the ground and closed her eyes pretending to sleep, but quickly did.

Brago remained in his same position, but mentally kicked himself when he felt Stripes sit beside him. "What?" he asked with his usual cold tone.

"Nothing, I just felt like moving" she replied.

Brago opened one eye slightly to glance at her. She had her eyes closed and was emitting a peaceful aura as she sat in a position mimicking his own.

He closed his eye and grunted "Whatever"

It wasn't long after that, that Stripes fell asleep, slightly brushing against Brago as she slouched. He ignored it and despite his best attempts, soon fell asleep too.

Meanwhile, in the mall.

"And that's why she's an idiot" Olivia said in a matter a fact tone.

She waited a moment for some kind of reply, but it never came. She turned to look at her sister, which she quickly noticed was back to looking at display windows.

Slightly fuming, she rushed over to her sister, grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her "Why did you ask me a question if you weren't going to listen to the answer?!"

Taylor looked at her once she had stopped shaking her "What, I was listening!" Olivia gave her a doubtful look, but she ignored it "So, how'd you get away from the cops?"

Olivia stared at her a little longer before releasing her and sighing "We didn't. Luckily the other guy was accused and took Stripes' place in jail while I had to pay for the damaged car" she thought about this and began to fume once again "Oh, when I see her again, I'm gonna…" she was interrupted by her sisters loud giggling and turned towards her with another glare "And WHAT is so funny?"

Taylor looked at her with a warming smile "How does it feel to be responsible for someone else?"

Olivia glared harder with a twitching brow and was ready to smack her sister upside the head when she took off into the mall. She settled for a sigh and followed after her.

The next morning, the storm had cleared up. Brago awoke to the sound of birds happily chirping and grunted in annoyance. Although he hated when he fell asleep, he did feel a lot better than yesterday. He opened his eyes and sat there, feeling that something was….off. After another moment, he realized the he was on his back staring at the ceiling.

"…..How did I…" he said aloud and tried to move, but something was weighing him down.

Propping himself up on his elbows, he looked down at Stripes as she slept on top of him with her head resting just below his bone pendant. His movement caused her to stir, but she just tightened her grip around his waist and buried her face into his fur cloak. Brago winced in discomfort from the feeling of her rubbing against him and verbally groaned at her hands around him. Being the morning and caring person that he was, he did the first thing that came to mind.

-WHOP!-

Stripes almost immediately sat up holding her soar head and whined "OW! Brago, why'd you do that?!"

"Shut up, you the one that was sleeping on me!" he growled back.

Stripes' blushed, not really having a comeback to that, but responded anyway "You didn't have to hit me!"

Brago grunted in amusement "I didn't realize that lizards were so sensitive"

"Stupid alley cats. No respect at all" she grumbled to herself

Brago heard her and his rage flared up "What was that?!"

Stripes looked at him smugly "You heard me"

"You stupid; come here!" he lunged at her, pushing her onto the ground.

Stripes let out a squeak in surprise before quickly pushing him away and running for the cave entrance.

"No you don't!" Brago yelled as he grabbed at her leg, bringing her to the ground.

"Get off!" Stripes yelled as she pushed him again, but Brago stayed put.

They began to roll around violently bumping into the cave walls and practically screaming at each other.

Sherry, who had woken up after a while, quickly stood and yelled at them in a fit of rage "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP ALREADY!"

There, another one down. For all the confused people, yes she has a different shirt. People tend to get new clothes when they reck their old ones^^
