Chapter 3: Yellow Buys Clothes

A/N: Lame chapter title, I know. I just... punched the wall. And what's that gotta do with my head? I dunno.

Really sorry for OOC Yellow!

...

Blue led Yellow out from the airport and right outside the Celadon Department Store, where they sell stuff (I know, you don't say).

"Um, what are we here for?" Yellow asked.

"We're gonna buy clothes!" Blue beamed with joy. Then something else crossed her mind. "Hey, how much money do you have on you?"

"Um..." Yellow said.

Blue waved a manicured hand. "Never mind!" she declared (so loud until the heavens could hear... not that they could/wanted to hear). "I'll pay for you, and no, there's no need to pay back," she added. "We're friends! Best ones, in fact!"

I'm glad she still remembers me, after about twelve years, since that incident...Yellow thought.

"Yoo hoo, Yellow!" Blue suddenly burst in. "Don't get all air-heady on me, like someone I know." She shuddered. She then smiled. "Hey, let's get in!"

So, in they went.

Inside, Yellow gasped after seeing how huge the Department Store was.

Blue grinned. "Impressive, eh? C'mon, we're headed for the third floor!"

...

Yellow was starstruck. Even Goldenrod's Department Store's clothes section wasn't as huge, and that was really saying something, considering Whitney - the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City - was a clothes person.

Blue laughed. "Take a look around!" she said gleefully.

Yellow obeyed and started to wander around, staring at the fashionable clothes.

"So, what have you chosen?" Blue asked, bouncing over to Yellow's side.

"Um, I'm still having a look around," Yellow replied.

"Poo." With that (no, she didn't bring the poo), Blue flounced off to choose her own clothes.

Yellow took a deep breath and continued her searching. After ten minutes, she chose a red top, denim skirt, blue jeans and black top.

Blue hurried over next to Yellow (again). "So, that's what you've chosen?" she asked the blonde teenager.

"Uh-huh."

"C'mon!" Blue said. "You need to get more stuff! So much your closet will blow up."

Yellow's face blanched. "Well, I'm not really into shopping..." she mumbled. That was true - when she was with Dana, Julia and Stephanie, they mostly hung around and chattered, watched movies, bashed bands and singers, but never outright shopping.

Blue seemed to be in deep thought. Then she grinned again, as though she had a brilliant idea (and she had). "Hey, how about I get a heck lot of stuff for you?" she suggested brightly. "Don't you dare worry; I know what looks good on you."

"Um, okay..." Yellow said hesitantly. "While you're searching, I'll be having a look around the entire place."

"Okay! Be back in fifteen minutes!" Blue chirped.

...

Yellow wandered to the second floor, where healing stuff for Pokémon - such as Potions - were sold.

Wow, it's so crowded... she thought with a slight sweat-drop. She mostly heard people comparing the number of badges, skills of Pokémon, items the Trainers have etc.

"No way!" a young boy said. "You have five badges?"

"Uh-huh," a taller boy around the age of seventeen replied modestly. "It's really nothing."

Yellow couldn't take her eyes off the taller boy who had five badges. He's... so modest, like anyone can earn five badges. And... wow, he's so... She blushed. Cute.

Yup, at that moment, Yellow fell head over heels in love with that boy. She couldn't help it; she felt everything about him was so attractive and charismatic.

"Wow!" the young boy, who seemed to be a Youngster, gasped. "You're so cool, Red!"

Red shook his head, his head of thick black hair waving about. "Nah..." he mumbled humbly.

Meanwhile, Yellow had to force herself to head over to the lift to check out the fourth floor. But she still couldn't take her mind off Red.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Yellow was back at the clothes section, and she was recounting to Blue what happened.

Blue's cerulean eyes lit up when Yellow mentioned Red. "Oh, Red?" she said. "I know that guy! He's in my year and all of my classes. And he's a good friend." Noticing Yellow's expression, she rushed to add, "Just a good friend. I wouldn't wanna steal away your crush anyway."

Yellow's cheeks reddened. "Y-you could tell?"

"It's so obvious, Yellow," Blue stated matter-of-factly. "Oh, and there he is!" She blasted an un-ladylike whistle. "Oi, Red! Over here!"

As Red approached nearer and nearer, Yellow felt her cheeks get hotter and redder.

Oh no! He's really coming here! EEK! Fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher! Put out the flames on my cheeks! Yellow's mind screamed.

"Yes, Blue?" Red asked curiously, while the brown-haired boy behind Red folded his arms coolly.

"Red, and you too, Green, pay attention," Blue said sternly. Then she lightened up. "Ah, I just want you guys to meet an old, but good, friend of mine, who has just moved here from Johto. Her name's Yellow."

Red's eyes danced. He stuck out his hand politely and shook Yellow's hand. "Hey, I'm Red," he introduced himself. He quickly turned his head behind to see if the guy behind would introduce himself. Deciding that he wouldn't, Red took charge. "And the silent guy behind me is Green."

"..." said Green.

"Um, nice to meet you... both," Yellow said, slightly dizzy, since Red was holding her hand (even if it was just a handshake).

"And don't mind Green, Yellow," Blue butted in in a motherly tone. "He's... quiet, and will only speak when he wants, or needs, to."

Yellow nodded.

Red broke out into a wide grin. "Hey, Yellow, are the Gyms in Johto good?" he asked.

"Um..." Yellow was at a loss. Luckily, Blue saved her.

"Shouldn't you get all the badges of Kanto first before you even consider going to Johto?" Blue admonished.

Red was silent. Then he let out a nervous laugh. "O-of course, ma'am. Whatever you say."

"Don't you be treating me like the queen!" Blue barked.

"Then I'll treat you like a prostitute?" Red said playfully.

Blue kicked him lightly. "Shut up! Just treat me like a friend and I'm happy."

Green and Yellow sweat-dropped.

...

A/N: Not the longest chapter I've done. No matter.

Hmm... Have you read my Chosenshipping story called "You Belong With Me"? Well, at one point I mentioned Brock taking them out on a road trip. Maybe I'll write a story about it.

Please review!
