Battle high: not your average high school
After Battle fourty
In store dilemmas
"Let's go here first," said Alex as he lead them to the first clothing store that he saw and possibly hoped they would find something Harmony would want to wear.
"Hey Prism, help Harmony out would you, Lilly and I will look at some clothes over there for her," said Alex. Alex and Lilly were about to leave before he turned back around to Prism, "Oh and Prism..you may want to help Harmony find a certain clothing item she needs to wear under her shirts," Alex hinted.
After that Alex and Lilly left to go look at dresses and shoes for Harmony. "Gotcha," Prism said with a nod, understanding. She turned to Cloud and pushed him towards Kirai. "Go entertain yourselves elsewhere. We have female things to attend to and you're sure as hell not gonna wanna be there to witness them."
Cloud just stared at her, and Kirai, being more focused and getting the hint, pulled him away from the two.
Prism waved at them and then turned to Harmony. "Alright bro we gotta get you some undergarments."
Harmony blinked at Prism stupidly not quite understanding the point now of why everyone just split into separate directions.
"Uhhhhh...what?," she asked very confused.
Lilly and Alex looked through the dresses for clothes and Alex sighed in boredom, "Why did I agree to this?," he complained. Prism only laughed at her confusion. "Oh lord I'm going to have to explain everything aren't I?"
She sighed." Alright well, you've just become a girl, so now you have some.. accessories.. that are necessary?" She briefly glanced in the direction of a certain section of the store that was just for ladies.
"Are you getting my drift?"
Harmony blinked at Prism for a second before following her glance, she looked over and quickly her eyes went wide and then looked back to Prism.
Harmony refused to look back in that direction and turned on her heel an attempted to leave the store and walk out without getting a thing.
"No. Nuh-uh no way in hell am I going in there," said Harmony.
"Shush, you have to," Prism said, giggling at her reaction and steering her back towards the section by the shoulders. "It is absolutely fucking necessary. Unless you can go home and cook up a fancy liquid that's gonna make you a dude again, we're going in there and you are getting one," she informed her. Harmony crossed her arms and pouted as Prism forced her back to that section.
"You're fucking lucky I don't know which chemicals were used or else I would go back and make up that "fancy liquid"...I'm not going to enjoy this damnit,"she growled.
"It's not much of a pleasure for me either," Prism assured her with a pat on the head.
"Ahh, that's a much better idea," she said with relief when she spotted an employee. They would be able to help! "Come along dear~" she said, pulling Harmony along towards the lady.
"Excuse me ma'am? Do you know if someone could help my friend here? She needs help finding the proper..equipment," she asked politely. Harmony grumbled under her breathe and pouted looking away from the lady and Prism.
Harmony tried not to look at the two of them and tried not to start walking away again on her own and storm away into the streets and back home under the bed.
"Oh of course! Right this way girls," the lady said with a smile, like she did this every day. Then again, this was her job. She probably did.
"You're the one who wanted us to go to school, and you need one for it, so quit your whining," Prism whispered to Harmony while the lady was distracted with taking them to the changing rooms. "Shut the hell up! This was not part of my idea to be a fucking girl you idiot...I'll fix this in a few weeks," said Harmony with confidence and rolled her eyes at Prism.
Harmony was not looking forward to what was going to happen next.
Prism looked up from a magazine she'd found on one of the counters when the employee from before came out of the dressing rooms with Harmony. "All set!" she said."
Prism tried not to openly laugh at how horrified Harmony looked. Instead she stood up and walked over to them. "Thankyou ma'am! I think I've got it covered from here." She patted Harmony on the back.
"Alright dear, let me know if you need anything," the lady said, before attending to another awaiting customer.
Prism finally let out the giggle that she'd been restraining. "Didja have fun?"
Harmony immediately glared at Prism and since no one was in the section at the moment Harmony slammed Prism into the ground and walked off into another section. Harmony was cursing under her breathe in annoyance of what just happened and was ready to kill someone wishing she could fix her problem now. Prism remained on the ground for a good couple of minutes, just getting all of her laughter out while she had the opportunity. At one point she was sure that someone had walked by her and immediately ran away, but it's not like she knew them, so who cares?
It was when she heard Cloud's voice that she got up and followed the sound of it. She ran into exactly what she'd expected.
"Well y'know you're just a plain dipshit because that is the worst explanation I have ever heard," Kirai told the shorter teen with evident annoyance his voice.
Prism stepped in between them before Cloud could get his two cents in. "Nope. We're still in public. Stop. Cloud go save your boyfriend."
Lilly and Alex came running over to the same area and quickly shoved Kirai away from Cloud and took him to the shoe aisle with them, "What the hell happened?," asked Lilly.
Harmony walked through the store until she found a place to hide among the furniture area and hid behind a crib and refused to move so no one would find her.
"Come on Kirai what just happened tell us?"
"That guy's a fucking idiot! And I don't give a shit about his opinion anyway!" Cloud said, making sure he was loud enough for Kirai to hear.
Prism punched him on the arm. "Stop it. What the fuck is wrong with you. What'd you do this time?"
"I didn't do shit! He's over there criticizing me for what's happened the last couple of days-"
"With Artemis?"
"What the fuck else would it be Prism? He's telling me how I'm being wrong and shit for not telling Lilly-"
"That's because you are."
"I can't..tell you," Kirai said with a very irritated sigh. He looked at Alex and then glanced over at Lilly to try and indicate what he was talking about. Alex only sighed and shook his head as he remembered the night before and what Cloud had told them happened. But he remembered what Prism had told him about what she thought had happened that night as well.
Lilly growled and felt her anger already starting to refuel at this point and Alex quickly instructed Lilly to go on ahead and try to find something Harmony might like. Alex held him back, "I know it's wrong, but if you mention it here Lilly will go wolf and start killing people in this city and things could wrong and fast," Alex warned.
Harmony sat behind the crib and making sure to glance both way ready to run if she had to.
Cloud stared at his sister. You could see the suppressed rage in his eyes, which seemed a darker shade of cobalt than they usually were. "What?"
"Cloud, last night you had a full-on love confession with a guy who stabbed you about four times within the first four seconds of you meeting each other and you haven't even told Lilly yet," Prism said. When Cloud continued to stare, she shrugged. The statement explained itself. "You have a girlfriend, end of story. You're being a huge douche and I'm surprised that you, someone who's only gone through like sixteen years of heartbreak, could actually do that to someone."
"If I mention it ANYWHERE that's going to happen! He's such a fucking asshole!" Kirai exclaimed, and then sighed once again, trying to calm himself down. This was just really pissing him off.
"I'll try and keep my shit together until the days over but if Cloud doesn't straighten his ass up today I'm going to kill him and then burn his body so he can't be re-cloned."
"Get that you're pissed off as hell Kirai, I am too, but being raised in the government and trained there I've learned to suppress it more then I should," Alex explained calmly to Kirai. Alex placed a hand on Kirai's shoulder and looked at him calmly hoping to keep Kirai at the same time while he talked to him.
"Listen to me, she's barely got the hang of that wolf thing, she can phase in and out of it as she pleases. But her anger fuels it more still; try to keep her calm at least. And as for you, you need to leave the ass kicking to Lilly and Sora, think about it Harmony is still Artemis in every way and Sora will kick Cloud's ass first before she kicks Artemis's for this too. Lilly will murder Cloud with those fangs and claws of hers along with the help of her huge ass pack of wolves thats still growing over time," said Alex, "Now think about this, if Cloud fucks up, it's his fault and Lilly will return to herself when I first met her at the government slightly," said Alex.
"Ah shit no, I'm not letting just them beat his ass up, I have reason to do it just because he pisses me off," he said, not actually intending to go about what he was saying he would do. If he got into so much as a scuffle with Cloud it wouldn't end well for him. Kirai knew that.
"But he already has fucked it up." Kirai glared over at Cloud, who was now defending himself to Prism. "Either way he's in deep shit. If he wasn't a heartless asshole I'd feel bad for him."
"It's not like I wanted this to happen! I don't get pleasure from slowly crushing Lilly's feelings from a distance while she's unaware of the matter! It just.. happened, okay? I'm obviously trying to sort shit out so just.. get off my fucking case," Cloud said, the anger in his voice seeming to dissolve as he carried on his sentences, until it sounded like a sad whisper.
"Kirai. I swear if you even try to get into the cross fire more then you have already Sora and Lilly will both get on your ass for information. And I'm sure you know how hard it was calm to Sora and Lilly once, and remember our friend Red Rock? Yeah, she was fucking hard to calm down compared to Blue Rock, and the wolf will only aide in her anger. They will double team your ass so fast you won't be able to stand for months. Try not to get involved, I can't keep everyone calm at once and I'm trying to keep the Shooters calm as it is," said Alex as he tried to get that old fight out of his mind. He knew the other two still had no memory of the whole fight.
"I know he's in deep shit, and I know how badly this is killing Lilly inside, she will break at some point and tear him to shreds without warning at any moment. Just stay away from Cloud at school got it?," asked Alex. Kirai gave one last noise of frustration before he finally gave up. Alex was going to win this anyway. "Fine."
"Wait, does she know?" he asked, just wondering. It had seemed that Lilly had caught on just by the way she'd been acting.
"Well you're doing a good job of it anyway. At this point, you're gonna hurt Lilly or you're going to hurt Artemis, and with either decision you're gonna hurt yourself," Prism told him. Cloud felt like the younger sibling again. Sometimes he forgot that Prism was a whole six minutes older than him.
"Well that just puts me in a motherfucking pickle, doesn't it."
"Yeah. It fucking does. And you did it to yourself. Congratulations."
"No, she doesn't yet, but she's mad enough that my "sister" was being carried by Cloud remember? At this rate she will find out and she will murder the fuck out of Cloud," said Alex with almost a warning tone.
The last time Lilly had gone on a rampage as a wolf was in her government days and she was chasing after a traitor who she had trusted.
"Listen to me. The moment Lilly ever goes into a rampage you fucking run got it? Don't ask questions just fucking run because the last time she went like that, more than half of her team was murdered and six agent were killed trying to calm her down," warned Alex.
