After Battle twenty-seven

Visit to the store

"Prism if you touch me one more time," Primrose growled, glaring over her shoulder at the older girl.

"I don't have a Cloud to mess with! I have to annoy someone! I've got ADD and schizophrenia, I must be entertained!" she whined, spinning around in circles in the middle of an aisle. One of her knives clattered to the floor, having slipped out of her pocket. Several bystanders gave her worried glances.

Prism looked at the fallen weapon. "Oh shoot! I dropped my knife!" she said, probably louder than she should've, and picked up the blade, twirling it around and waving innocently at a guy standing near who was giving her a confused look.

Primrose sighed in annoyance. "How Cloud lived with you for 16 years without killing himself, I have no clue."

"All of you knock it off already! Prism put that away and stop poking Primrose! I'll send you to bed without dinner unless you behave!," Artemis shouted at her in the aisle as he pulled her to the side. He then turned to Primrose, "Put the candy away. Lilly put that ice cream back. Alex no we cannot get that cereal it has too much sugar and the last thing any of you need is more sugar!"

Artemis was ready to hit them, but he couldn't since he was in public and was trying to keep them calm and under control in the store. Primrose pouted at him for a second before sighing, not wanting to anger him anymore. "Ah fine," she grumbled, placing a pack of lollipops back on a random shelf. A nearby store attendant gave her a disproving glance. She ignored it.

Prism groaned in annoyance, walking in circles around Primrose. "Can we leave yet?" she asked no one in particular.

"We can get candy next time if you all behave next time..but not this time..and as for you Prism, no we can't. We aren't done shopping and we only got three things on the list since you all keep grabbing crap randomly," sighed Artemis.

Alex sighed and put the cereal back on the shelf and Lilly ran back to put the ice cream away in the freezer section. Primrose glared at the rest of them. "You hear that?! We all have to be good next time so I can have candy!" she said, sounding as scary as a 14-year-old with bubblegum pink hair could. Which wasn't very much.

Prism glared at a group of girls who were standing near a soda machine and were looking over at Alex. She absentmindedly twirled her knife faster.

Primrose looked at her. "Okay you, need to just, go into the parking lot, and do whatever the fuck you want, but get away from all other human beings right now okay?," she told her, pushing her towards the exit. Artemis sighed, and sent Lilly with Prism to go watch her while they would be in the store still and get the rest of what they needed. "Alright, umm Primrose can you go and get some juice for everyone and one that everyone will drink? And Alex you can come with me and get the rest of what we need," said Artemis.

Lilly nodded and went to go get what he sent her to do, Alex nodded and started to follow Artemis past the girls but was ended up being sent back to get the napkins that was near those girls.

"Why do I have to get it?..why can't other people get it?," Alex said as he reached up and grabbed the package of napkins and as he started to leave the aisle he dropped a gift he had received a few weeks ago. He had received it from one agent who had been kind enough to remember that it was the day he had been assigned his number. He stopped and went to pick it up.

Primrose went to go follow Artemis's instructions, ignoring glares she got as she passed by the group of females who seemed far too confident for their own good. She smirked. If they only knew that she could kick their asses, and if she couldn't, her boyfriend certainly could. Let em glare.

A member of what seemed to be the small fangirl club stepped ahead of her friends, picking up the object faster than Alex could and holding it out to him with a smile. "Here ya go."

Prism tilted her head at the girls through the store window. "Oh heeeelll no." She glared daggers through the glass. "You think I can break this window if I need to?"

Artemis went to go find Primrose as he had already gotten the rest of what he and Alex were getting and wanted to make sure that the others were doing okay in the store.

Alex looked at the girl and stood up to take the object back and nodded to her. He smiled at her a tiny bit with his green eyes, "Thanks for the help," he said to her.

Lilly placed a hand on her shoulder, "Calm down, I'm sure he won't do anything, it's not like he would want one of the those girls to begin with," sighed Lilly. "And no breaking the glass Artemis won't be happy still."

Primrose glared up at the packets of fruit punch juice. Why couldn't she be taller than 5'4? She took a few steps back and ran at the shelves, jumped up and failed to grab the large box. She sighed and looked around for something to climb onto.

"No problem," she replied cheerfully. She tilted her head, still with that smile, although it seemed subtler now. "Hey, you have really pretty eyes."

Prism shook her head. "It's not that, he's too goddamn innocent and nice to know what he shouldn't say," she sighed.

"Eh.. I can't break this anyway. Then the cops will get called and they'll figure out who I am and then I'll get arrested for about five hundred murders."

"Hey Primrose, did you grab the juice yet?," Artemis called her as he walked towards the aisle and when he walked into them he couldn't help but try and not laugh. "Are you okay there?"

Alex looked at her, "Umm thanks," he started to reattach the object to his belt and then back to the girl. "So uhhh I have to get back with my friends," he said calmly. He started to slowly walk away hoping the girl wouldn't try and stop him.

"Well that's one reason to not break it. But it's a good thing that you know he wouldn't have a clue, besides think about it. If he doesn't know how to talk to people he won't know what to even say to her."

"No I am not okay," she answered, still glaring at the unattainable juice. "It's too high." Primrose jumped a little again, but it really was hopeless. "I'm too short."

Prism laughed. "Hahaa! She scared him away. Sucks for you, ya little bitch," she said with a smirk.

"Now I don't have to break anything and get arrested~ haha~"

"Well then I'll get it for you," Artemis said trying to contain his laughter as he saw her trying to jump for the juice.

"I know he doesn't want to talk with her but why is she following him? Prism I can go stop her if you want me to since you'll just get in more trouble with Artemis if you go back in there," said Lilly.

Alex looked back over his shoulder and saw that the girl was following him, so he stopped walking and turned around to face her. "Umm..why exactly are you following me?," he asked her. Primrose glared over at Artemis this time. "Hey. I can hear the laughter in your voice, meanie. It's not my fault they put it so high up there," she said with a pout.

Prism sighed angrily, turning to face the window again. Maybe she should let Alex do this by himself?

"Hm?" The girl looked at him with innocent eyes. "Oh. I'm not, my friend's over there," she said, pointing to a girl who was 'waiting' for her conveniently only one aisle over.

Prism sighed after some thinking. "Yeah go kick her ass."

Artemis couldn't help but laugh after he grabbed the juice and then hugged her, "It's okay, I'll be here to help you," he told her.

Alex looked at her friend then back to the girl. He gave it some thought for a moment and tried to wonder why her friend was so close by when her friend could've just walked over to her instead.

"So..she couldn't come over to you instead?"

Lilly nodded, "Just wait here for a moment," said Lilly as she started to walk into the store. "Damn right you will," Primrose grumbled, hugging him back and then playfully hitting him.

The girl shrugged. "She had texted me to walk over there when you dropped that thing, so I gave it to you on my way over here," she explained. "Maybe there's something over there she's gonna show me."

Artemis laughed and smiled at her, "Come on and lets go find Lilly."

Alex gave her a slight nod, "Well..alright then," said Alex. Just as he was about to start walking away Lilly tackled him, "Brother there you are! I've been looking all over the store for you," said Lilly in an innocent voice. She looked up at the girl, "Who are you?," Lilly asked coldly. "I wonder what insane things have happened while we were acquiring this juice," Primrose wondered aloud.

The girl took a surprised step back when Alex was tackled and glared down at the girl. She forced a smile. "No one. Just going to see my friend," she said, walking away from the two of them and over to the girl, hurriedly telling her what had happened already.

Prism laughed from outside. "Take that!"

"Hell if I know...but I bet it can't be good," said Artemis with a sigh of fear.

Lilly looked back at the girl and then got an idea,"Heyyy...I have an idea," she said to Alex. Alex gave her a look but sent him down a different aisle down to find Artemis and Primrose who were finding Lilly. Lilly then walked over to the two girls,"Sooo..let me give you the real story," said Lilly in an innocent voice and a sweet smile before grabbing them both by the collars roughly.

"He's not my blood brother but let me clear this up for you, if you even go near him at all, I'll kick both your asses got it?," she said in a sweet voice but cold brown eyes. Primrose tilted her head at Alex when she saw him at the end of an aisle. "Alex? Where's everyone else?"

Both of the girls shot each other a glance before nodding quickly, not wanting to say anything to upset this strange girl who could apparently damage them very badly, very quickly.

"I have no idea," he told her still trying to process what had just happened.

Lilly glared at them at this point, "Answer me when I give you an order!"

"You alright there?" Primrose asked. He looked extremely confused.

The girls nodded again, more frantically this time. "Yes ma'am," both of them hurriedly squeaked out.

"Some girl randomly started to talk to me and wouldn't leave me alone," sighed Alex.

Lilly gave them a nod of approval and then pushed them both back away. "And stay away from him; if I see you both near him again I'll make sure you want to move."

Primrose giggled a little. "Yeah that's gonna happen in the city."

They both nodded, whispered an "Okay!" and scurried off, back over to their other groups of friends.

Prism decided that she was calm enough to enter now and strolled into the store. "Heh heh."

Alex just shook his head and started to walk back over to Artemis and handed him what he had gotten from the aisle before being stalked by those girls.

Lilly watched them run off, then walked back outside with an innocent smile on her face, "There problem solved~," she said calmly. She gave Prism a pat on the shoulder and then nodded, "Come on, maybe we should head back to the house and clean up a bit before they get home," suggested Lilly.

"Yaaay," Prism said, twirling around to emphasize her contentment. "It would've been more fun to hurt them but I guess scaring them works too."

Prism nodded. "Yeah that's probably a good idea. I should probably do something nice since I've already driven Artemis off the handle a little."

"But if I did that then Artemis would know and then he would get pissed off at me too," laughed Lilly. She gave Prism a nod, "Yeah, maybe it's best to do something to at least make him happy as an apology to him," Lilly explained. "Who caaares?" Prism asked. "He gets over hatred fast anyway. I mean he and Cloud are like, friends.. kind of."

Prism sighed. "Normally I hate apologies but I guess I've been extra annoying today.."

"I would care because then I would be grounded too with you and be bored as hell," laughed Lilly, "And thats torture enough"

Lilly patted her shoulder, "Well lets going now and then we can make him happy again."
