Man, this is a short chapter. D: Not like I would make it ten thousand words long, but I didn't have great ideas for this chapter, but I did research for it and added some humor I hope can get a chuckle out of you. I thought I was going to upload this yesterday, but I've been sooooo busy that I've lost track of time and for being busy. But here I am~. I'm also almost a fifty reviews, so can we make that happen? :D
All right now, time to get this chapter out of the way~, even though it's filler. Yes, I confirmed it. Just kidding. XD I think that there are some certain characters in the DC world that needs some time on the screen, or in this case, words. I feel bad that I didn't get to put them in a lot of chapters as I hope, but they will be on here and hopefully more to come. :) Enjoy. :D
DCFan4ever: I agree. They deserve some happy time after their dark moments in life. :)

~Chapter Twelve: Girls' Day Out~
(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)
Tomorrow is the party of the lifetime for those who are invited to DCI's party. That usually meant getting ready and rehearsing, but you can even have fun by chatting and going crazy, just without alcohol and drugs. Luce and her friends have to shop in order to live the life of a party animal. One of them, Dare, is an expert, and she knows how to give a party, despite being drunk one time. Emilia has the most energy to be a partygoer, so she will upstage anyone in her crew's way.
They're not the only ones who are attending the party; Taye and her sister, Lil' T will bring their sassy attitudes and confidence to liven up the party. Hell, even Miss Aubrey is going. She has beauty and attention when she reunites with Angel to show off their classy dance moves. Through their, well, more likely, her choreography, it can hit the lights and show the crowd their way to the dance floor. For today, it shall be a girls' day out.
Emilia parked her car at the closet spot to the mall entrance, and out comes Luce and Dare. Luce is just wearing normal clothes, but Dare is testing out the outfit she made called "DIY Couture". Something about that outfit seems surprising, more likely her long arm warmers that are two feet past her hands, but she cut out the part where her thumbs meet so that she can grab something with no problem. Not only that, her pants are hanging down loose, her belt is undone, and it shows off her black bikini bottom, just a bit. At a party, it's acceptable, but being in public? Boy, she better be careful.
Taye and Lil'T were waiting at the doors to the mall, and when they see the three ladies in their car, they waved to them to get their attention. Noticing, Luce, Dare, and Emilia head over to their direction and greeted each other with optimism in their voices.
"Where is Aubrey?" Taye asked, checking the parking lot through her cheetah print sunglasses. "She should know the sale is starting in five minutes."
"Maybe the princess is fashionably late?" Emilia responded, chuckling while crossing her arms.
"It's probably something she's good at," Luce added, right before she spot a limo coming their way. Finally, Aubrey headed out of the vehicle and said something to the driver before heading off. When she noticed the faces of the ladies, that means she has something to answer correctly.
"Girl, what took you so long?" Lil' T asked. The redhead fluffed her curls carefully, feeling their volume.
"My hair takes two hours to fix, so that's why I was almost late," she replied coolly. Emilia rolled her eyes, having to hear the same story as the last time they did a shopping spree. Dare slung her arms around Luce and Emilia's shoulders, grinning.
"Okay, now that she's here, it's time for the shopping to begin!" she chirped, taking them with her to the mall, with the rest following behind. The sale lasts for two hours at basically almost every store, so she was right to rush them so that they can get what they want and beat others to it. The first store the six went to was Hot Topic, which would be ironic for all of them except Luce because the place is too dark for their style, but their accessories and such are at good prices, they can pretty much get as much as they want, but they have to be careful in order to save their money for other stuff.
Luce picked up a pair of turquoise fishnet gloves, Blackheart dark alley nail polish, two pairs of shirts, and a white lace-up mini skirt with Batman leggings. She knows what to shop and the deals thanks to her mail alerts from the store itself. Aubrey and Taye picked up a couple of lip glosses, while Dare found jewelry that she felt would look good on her with the outfit she was displaying. Lil' T and Emilia can only find shoes, eye shadow, and lipstick.
When they were done there, they went to Abercrombie & Fitch, where Emilia and probably Aubrey can find some clothes that will suit their styles. The others only bought the perfume since they were either done or just waiting for the next store to check on it. One of them noticed that one of the models looked a lot like Bodie, with the yellow plaid shirt with most of the buttons undone, and the shorts looking ripped just a bit, and his hair looking slightly wet.
Taye tapped Emilia on the shoulder before she and Aubrey went to the checkout. The brunette turned around and saw what Taye pointed to, and she blushed a second later, then she looked at the other three who seemed distracted by the appeal Bodie brought into the portrait.
"Girl, you must be lucky to be in a crew with him," Taye said, winking to add emphasis. She may have Mo as her amazing boyfriend, but she thinks Bodie's sexy just as much as him.
"He did it for charity!" Emilia replied, looking away. Aubrey was busy swiping her credit card, but when she finished, she looked at the picture, giving it a humble chuckle and a small smirk.
"I'd love to spend a day with him at my yacht. Maybe at High Tide Beach, we can soak up the sun together," Aubrey added, carrying her bag and turning to look at Emilia's face for a response.
"Back off! He's mine!" Emilia accidentally confessed, gasping after she noticed it. Dare and Luce giggled, giving each other a high five. Lil' T may be thirteen, but she has to say something about that.
"You are lucky that he is your dance partner. He's hot with two T's!" As soon as Emilia finished paying for her bag of clothes, she sighed dramatically.
"If we see anything that has to do with our crew partners or boyfriends, I get the right to tease you all." Everyone except Aubrey agreed nonchalantly, as they head off to the food court to take a break and have lunch. They decided to get Chick-Fil-A since it's cheaper than the other food chains.
"Seems someone isn't in the mood to eat more chicken," Emilia teased while putting her food on the table and taking a sip of her soda.
"Don't start with me, Emilia," Aubrey scolded, but when she sat down, she looked like she was in pain.
"You okay, Aubrey?" Luce asked, sitting down with her food placed on the table. The redhead huffed, and not because of Luce asking.
"Stupid Mother Nature," she mumbled. "You got pills or at least a tampon?" she asked. The brunette looked through her purse to see a small box of Pamprin and a Tampax tampon. She gave Aubrey a couple of caplets and gave her an extra tampon. Finished with her medicine, Aubrey thanked Luce and headed to the ladies restroom.
"Nurse Luce to the rescue!" Dare said cheerfully. The young Flash4wrd dancer seemed curious about the whole show she was forced to watch.
"So what's getting your period like, y'all?" she asked curiously.
"It's a living hell!" they all replied. Lil' T sighed and munched on her waffle fries. At least she won't be the only one dealing with it. After that moment of awkwardness, Aubrey appeared and finished her lunch, which means another place to shop before the sale stops. One store that everyone in the group loves was saved for last, and it was Icing.
It may be a brighter version of Hot Topic when it comes to makeup, but it's actually worth it because of the quality. The jewelry and accessories were also classy yet spunky at the same time, making it a mix between the crews' choice of fashion and whatnot. Dare loved this place so much, that where she got the idea to add beaded bracelets to her outfit. She pretty much just almost bought dozens of them and smiled at the cashier, who seemed surprised by her outfit and display. When she was done paying for her stuff, she received wide eyes from the other five.
"What? There's nothing wrong with adding something to your creative outfit," she said to them, defending her new bracelets. Well, they gotta give her credit; she made the outfit for God's sake and it must have taken her days and a lot of drinking goji berry smoothies to get it done. When one of their phones beeped, it means that the sale is over, so it was now time to get home or get together with their crew partners.
They all said their goodbyes; Aubrey found her limo at the spot where she was dropped off and headed in there, Taye and Lil' T went to their convertible, hoping in the seats, and the last three headed back to Emilia's car. The time was 2:00 P.M., so they decided it was best to call it for a day.
Emilia dropped off Luce at her house, waving to her along with Dare before driving off. The brunette opened the door and saw Claire making dinner just like usual.
"How was it?" she asked while cutting up pieces of steak.
"It was good. Thank God the sale was today or I would have to re-use my old clothes," Luce replied. She can smell what was cooking and it was good. "Why are you cooking dinner early?"
"A lot of things have been keeping me busy ever since your dad has been to France. While you'll be at your DCI party, he told me that I need to be in his office to check on his stuff. Apparently, he doesn't trust the guards while they're doing the job." Luce chuckled since her dad is very concerned about his belongings and all.
Her phone ringed, which could mean one thing at this time. Luce wasted no time and carefully rushed to her phone to check her mail. Finally, the address of the party's location is here. Luce went to the website on her iPhone and bookmarked the address. With a smile on her face, she headed to her room. Now all she needs to do is assemble what she will wear for tomorrow...

~Chapter Thirteen coming soon...~
(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)
Now, to end this, I wish I live in California. D: They have Comic-Con, E3, and Vid-Con. I will attend one of these someday! I'm also adding something different in the next chapter, so it will be interesting to see what's going to happen next. I don't know if I'll be able to update next week, but who knows? I also have the urge to make a prequel to this, before Luce met Oblio and formed Lightning crew, and so forth with whatever my typing thinks of. XD I'm thinking it'll be ten chapters long, and I'm thinking about where I should start it. All I know is that around the end, that's where Luce's mom... you know... So should I make a prequel?
Please don't forget to leave reviews! :D
