I believe this chapter is super crappy, so sorry bout that. Now let's continue from where we left off.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. Just my OC Alexandra
Starfire had gotten to the mall even faster then they had left the tower. Alex never went to the mall to much in her own world, only when she really had to. Today would have been no different. At least, if she hadn't been teleported to a new dimension. But all that nonsense aside, the last thing she thought would be the first thing she would do today would be shopping. But, here she was, looking for clothes.
Starfire had been talking to her the entire time as she took Alex through the mall. She wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, more to her own thoughts, 'Do people dress the same here like they do at home?' It was a pretty silly question, seeing as there were people all around her wearing average civilian attire, but she still questioned it. After all, there had been enough surprises today for a lifetime, who knew if there'd be more.
Both the girls turned and entered a department store. It seemed to be a pretty popular one, especially since there were more then a few people inside. It smelt like a freshly cut piece of wood mixed with a vanilla flavor.
'Someone must've taken out a candle.' She observed quickly. There were paintings along the white walls making them seem more colorful. Plenty of racks were placed carefully throughout the store while shoes lay on shelves. On the end of each shelf was a small decor piece, either a vase full of marbles or a small porcelain figurine of an animal. The employees seemed to mostly be women, which made sense seeing as there wasn't a single piece of men's clothing in the shop.
Almost immediately Alex's eyes flew to a pair of leggings and denim shorts that had been placed on racks that were side by side with each other. That was her usual style. Leggings and shorts over them, normally with a top of some kind over them. Starfire also went to the opposite side of the store, seeking out whatever she had on her list for shopping that day.
Alex had found her size easily, after all this was a cartoon, so it was obvious her size would 'happen' to be at the front of each rack. Taking the leggings and shorts with her, she went to find a shirt. There was a black one that caught her eye and matched the leggings. And she didn't act surprised at all when her size was found by her immediately.
'Easy as pi. Gotta love cartoons.' She laughed at her own thoughts and grabbed the blank tank top, taking a vest that was only a light blue then her shorts. She looked around only to see Star looking at bracelets. She walked over towards her.
"Hello Friend Alex! I see you have found clothing items." Star said in her innocent voice.
"Oh," Alex looked to the outfit she was holding, "yeah, I'll just find shoes later."
Starfire raised an eyebrow, "That is all you are going to purchase. If you are staying at the tower, will you not need more clothes?" She asked. Alex hadn't really thought about how long she would stay in Jump City. In fact, the thought hadn't ever crossed her mind.
"No, I guess I hadn't thought about that too much. I mean, maybe I could find a few more outfits." Alex thought out loud, thinking about the idea.
The alien princess' eyes seemed to sparkle as a large smile spread across her face, "Oh yes! We can spend much more time at the mall of shopping to get even more clothes! Let us head to the footwear store after!" She clapped her hands together and started to hover in air, looking like a cute child that had just learned they were getting a puppy for Christmas.
Alex knew Starfire's character. She had read plenty of comics with her in them including Teen Titans, The New 52, she even read a few issues of Red Hood and the Outlaws. And throughout every book Alex always considered her as a favorite character. So this was almost like talking to a long lost friend, only the friend doesn't know who you are, is from another planet, and has superpowers. Either way, Alex would give plenty of things to hang out with her, and this was the best opportunity.
"Sounds like a blast." Alex said, a small chuckle escaping her words at the end.
"Glorious. Friend Raven does not do this with me often." Starfire said happily. Alex knew that too, seeing as Raven and Starfire were practically opposites, even a person who doesn't watch the series or read the comics could figure it out by just a glimpse at their personalities.
"But I do need to pay for these first." Alex said, finally figuring out she hadn't packed her wallet when dimension traveling.
"Do not worry Friend Alex. That will not be of a problem for you." Alex was so happy to hear that. Not about the whole 'Don't worry', the fact that she called her 'Friend.'
'Maybe I should go into alternate realities more often. This is SO COOL!' She thought. After all, who has ever be-friended a fictional character in their lifetime? Answer: NO ONE! At least, no one but Alex.
"Awesome!" She exclaimed, matching the Tamaranian's happiness level. But before she could continue her sentence, Starfire had already taken her through the areas of the store, looking and showing Alex multiple articles of clothing.
