You can Pick your Friends, your Nose but not your Family
Chapter 2: Girl's night
Irish: I'm back still looking for employment but I'm back. It was honestly hard to think of what to do next, I had an idea for this one I just didn't know what to do with it.
Irish: I forgot to mention last chapter was actual a true story-sort of. That's enough junk for now let's get it on!
Irish: I don't own KH

It was a lovely Friday night at the Twilight Town mall. School was out and the hot new summer movie was playing. There were young people everywhere, shopping, conversing, and trying to steal random key-chains.
But one person was not having fun.
By the pretzel stand was a young blond woman, wearing a Pikachu T-shirt and worn out jeans. She would have been called pretty if it wasn't for the scowl on her face and eyes that screamed, "Touch me and I stab you".
Larxene didn't want to be here.
She didn't mind the mall; she enjoyed some stores and the occasional soft pretzel. It was the person she was with, that made her so angry.
Standing across from her talking to some random person dressed in a sweet powder blue dress was the ever-gentle Xion the newest member of the Organization.
Larxene did not like Xion.
Many of the organization members thought that Larxene did not like Xion because she was stepping on her territory of being the only girl on the team. That wasn't true, Larxene didn't care if there was another girl on the team she had her own reasons for disliking Xion.
She was too freaking nice.
That girl was such a goodie-two-shoes it drove Larxene nuts! She was always kind and gentle in every situation. She never got angry or annoyed. She was just too perfect and Larxene hated that because she would be compared with Xion.
It hadn't happened yet but she knew that one day everyone will be like, why can't you be nice like Xion? Why can't you take a joke like Xion? Why aren't you more like Xion? She tried to be nice but she has a limit on how nice she can be.
It just wasn't fair.
So the leader and all his infinite wisdom decide that the best way for the two girls to get along is for them to spend a night at the mall.
That man needs to get out more.
They were forced out of the palace and were ordered to spend at least four hours "bonding". Larxene decided that a movie would be the best way to kill time without her having to interact with Xion at all. The movie was long but not long enough; it was only two hours so they now had to "interact" with one another.
Xion was talking to some girls around their age. The girls had thick long hair and despite not being out of their early teens wearing high heels. They seemed to be happily conversing but then Larxene listened closer.
"My you must take such good care of your clothes, that dress went out of style years ago"
"Your hair is so bouncy how do you get it to stick up in every direction"
"Did your baby sibling do your nails they did such a good job"
They were insulting her and worst of all in that snooty way that made it sound like a compliment. Xion just seemed to smile and thank them. Did she not realize that they were making fun of her? Did she not care-no Larxene could see the strain on her face. She looked like she was about to break down and cry at any minute.
It was too painful to watch she had to do something.
She walked right up to those snarky bitches looked them dead in the eye and said.
"Hey chalky bitches don't be talking shit about her just because your herpes is acting up."
The leader of the girls gasped and covered a corner of her mouth; Larxene was just being mean but-wow.
"Yeah we can see! We all can see it!"
She shouted making animated gestures so that everyone in the mall was paying attention to her. So everyone one would see the can of verbal murder she was about to whip out.
And the reason that your friends and I say that term loosely is because loser #1 is too busy making sure the tissues don't fall out of her bra and the other is too busy picking her nose."
Xion was trying to say something but she just tuned her out. The three girls seemed to shrink before her; like a predator pissing off a bigger larger predator. Three little raptors just pissed off the T-Rex and they were going to get it.
"Look at you! You look like cheap prostitutes, so dirty that even the creepy guys who skulk around the mall to pick high school girls don't even want to touch you."
Larxene made a face like she suddenly teleported herself to a dairy farm.
"Lord do you bathe in perfume? What's it called Basic by ratchetity ass-hoe"
She could go all day with this but she had to wrap this up.
"Now I want you take your cheap hooker heels, go home and cry to mommy when she actually pays attention to you. Come Xion lets get out of here".
She led the small girl away from the now sniveling trio. They got into the large department store at the end of the mall before confronting her.
"Why didn't you stand up for yourself?"
Xion gave the same look she gave those girls.
"I don't know"
"What you mean-"
Then it hit her, it finally occurred to Larxene why everyone was comparing her to Xion. It wasn't that Xion was some perfect girl it was that she was too much of a pushover to stand up for herself. She didn't voice her opinions so Xion just came out as super nice.
"You don't know how to say no do you?"
Xion looked ashamed staring at her shoes with great interests. Larxene was right Xion didn't know how to say no. Something inside of her said yes to everything and to just smile at whatever hurtful things were thrown at her. She always admired the way Larxene wasn't afraid to stand up for herself and to say what she really felt.
"Yeah"
She thought Larxene was going to yell at her but she blond just sighed and ran her hands from her slicked back hair.
"We got a while before we have to go back I might as well give you a few pointers. You better write these down because I'm going to test you on this next week!"
Xion smiled brightly.
"Alright"
