Spells and Louds
Chapter 254: Shopping with a Faunus
(Royal Woods, Ketcham Park)
Sienna Khan arrives at the park where she was told to come, she was dropped off via Super Kirov Airship from Boomer. The large airship now flies off to another direction, she will contact Boomer to pick her up when she needs to.
She looks around and gets some suspicions. 'Could this be a trap? Some sort of prank that this Luan might do?'
Then she sees the familiar vehicles of the teenage Royal Defenders. Her suspicions now fade and are replaced with confusion. "What is this?"
She approaches the group composed of: Leni, Lori, Dana, Becky and Carol.
They notice Sienna coming towards them. "Hey there Sienna! You made it" said Dana.
"How could I not, someone sent me a message to come and meet someone here" said Sienna.
"Oh, that must be my number. I guess we haven't exchanged numbers yet, though Martin gave me the contact number from your phone" said Leni.
"Yes, ever since my near death and escape from Remnant, I have lost my scroll to make contact. So I must adapt to using this cell phone instead" said Sienna.
"Well, at least you have some form of communication. But you should place names on some numbers in your contact list" said Becky.
"I'll do that, once I have free time. So, why did you want to meet me here again?" asked Sienna.
"Get in the car, we'll show you" said Carol. Sienna has some doubts about what they are planning, but she trusts them.
She enters the car of Leni and they all drive off, to wherever they have planned.
"Will this take long?" asked Sienna.
"Maybe, or maybe not" replied Lori.
Sienna was told by Gyro that human progression on earth has some strange standards. But teenage things are one thing that she has to be cautious about, she heard that they can be rebellious and obnoxious.
Right now, she doesn't see any of those motives. She knows that those old teenage stupidity is either all in the past or in some irresponsible minds.
"By the way, where is your little brother and other siblings?" asked Sienna.
First was Lori. "Luan is at home trying some new comedy routines, Lola is practicing on her next pageant and with Lana's coaching assistance, Lynn is with her pals doing some last trainings for the big baseball game, Lisa is doing more of her science stuff and Lucy is watching over the twins."
Next is from Leni. "Luna and Lincoln are doing their once a month sibling bonding moment, Linka is doing some last minute studying for a big test this Friday, Sunset is checking on her Canterlot gal pals and Timmy is helping Kick and Gunther with some stunt."
"My brother Chaz got detention for falling asleep in class" replied Dana.
"My sister Darcy is back home with my mom" replied Teri.
(Skip)
They soon arrive to their destination, the large structure was kind of confusing for Sienna. "What is this place?"
"This Sienna, is a mall. Don't you have those in Remnant?" asked Dana.
"Only clothing businesses. Also, I don't know what a "Mall" is? Is it a place of business?" said Sienna.
"It literally is, there are tons of businesses in there to check on" replied Lori.
"We're going to have some teenager hang out time, with you" replied Leni.
Sienna was confused by this. "Are you sure about this? I have never hung out with people like you."
"Then what did you do back at …. "Then Lori recalls about the White Fang and Faunus. "You know what? Never mind that. Let's just go in already."
Sienna sees no escape form this, and even if she says no, some part of her thinks it could be rude. "Alright, let's see what's in there."
They all smile and head into the mall, Sienna was amazed by how large and how many people were in there. "This looks like a local area for Huntsman and Huntresses to meet."
They had no clue how to respond to that.
"Or it looks like one of the academies and kingdoms" said Sienna.
Yeah, they have no clue how to respond to that either.
"So, where should we head off first?" asked Carol.
"Well, I do know that they do not sell dust, or have any weapon add-ons in here" said Sienna. "So, wherever you girls are going, I will follow as well."
They had no idea what to even think of this anymore, but one thing was on their minds. 'Okay, so what the heck are we even doing?'
"Reiningers?" asked Leni. The others agree, but then they see Sienna confused.
"Oh, Reiningers is a clothes department, they also do hair styles" replied Dana.
"And Leni works there, she's been employee of the month three times" said Becky.
"Oh stop! You guys are just too much" teased Leni.
They all head for Reiningers. "Welcome to Reiningers, there's like lots of clothes you can purchase here" said Leni.
"Though there are some clothes departments with higher priced shopping" said Carol.
"So true" said Dana.
"But do they have some of Leni's designs?" said Jackie and Mandee.
"Hey girls, it's good to see you here" said Leni.
"We were here to ask if Mrs. Carmichael was okay in letting some of your new designs be on display" said Mandee.
"Really? What did she say?" asked Leni in excitement.
Jackie and Mandee looked at each other and snickered. "She said yes!"
Leni was shocked and happy to hear this. "Oh-M-Gosh! This incredible! I can have my spring beginning clothes lines get shown here!"
"Congrats Leni, and I can't wait to see what they look like" replied Lori.
Sienna could see just how happy these girls are. 'They take news like this really personal, reminds me of Blake.'
"So, shall we do something here?" asked Sienna.
"Oh right, girls this is Sienna Khan. Well she's not a leader at the moment, but she will be again" said Leni.
"Soon that is" replied Sienna.
"Oh, so you're the new person in town. Some of the people have seen and heard of you" said Mandee.
Sienna didn't seem to like this. "And what was there thoughts about me?"
"Nothing bad, they're used to seeing someone like you in town. Similar to Sergei's wife Loona" replied Jackie.
"So, I am welcomed here?" asked Sienna.
"Of course you are, and we also heard from Leni about how you want some of your people to come and stay here in our world" said Jackie.
Then Whitney and Teri arrive. "And we all think it's a good idea" said Whitney.
"Even Mayor Davis put on social media about this upcoming alliance condition, she would be honored if some of your people stayed in our town and soon to the rest of the world. No one here will be treated badly" said Teri.
This pleased Sienna, and she knows it could please her Faunus brothers and sisters. Now she feels like she wants to begin the liberation of Mistral immediately.
"Thank you for this information" said Sienna.
"How come you didn't know of it? It's all over the internet" said Carol.
Sienna looks to her phone. "Forgive me girls. I haven't really caught up with whatever news is online. I would rather wake up and smell the fresh air than check on my phone."
"It's okay Sienna, we understand. We all have our habits and quirks. We just get used to them, but at least try and keep track of some news" said Leni.
"Like hanging out with friends" said Fiona who arrives, and with her is Miguel.
"So, you girls here to shop?" asked Miguel.
"We are, some of us could also use some hair and care assistance" said Lori.
Miguel brings out some of his equipment for the job. "With pleasure." They all look to Sienna.
"What?"
Sienna is now on a chair and she is looking at herself in the mirror. Miguel was thinking about her look.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Sienna.
"No, not really. You're style seems fine to me, and to be honest. I dig the whole natural tiger look, it suits you" replied Miguel.
"I was born like this, as of many of my Faunus brethren and sisters" said Sienna.
"So, there's nothing she needs to improve? What about her hair?" asked Becky.
Miguel looks closely and snipes a small split end. "There, the split ends are gone." Sienna blushes in embarrassment, she did not see that one coming.
"Well, that was quick. So, clothes next?" asked Fiona.
"Totes!" replied Leni. "Also, I am shocked that Mrs. Carmichael would give me another day off."
"Leni, you've done so much work and brought in tons of other worldly guests here" said Miguel.
Leni and the others are confused. "What do you mean?"
"Well, yesterday Draculaura, Clawdeen and Cleo came by and bought some clothes, same went with Morgan and Randy and Jenny and this sixteen year old girl that says she's friends with Kick Sharp, I think her name is April" replied Fiona.
They were confused by this. "Wait a minute! These guys came here, yesterday?" asked Lori.
"They did, didn't you guys know?" asked Miguel.
They all shook their heads. Sienna has no clue what the heck was even happening. Then she recalls something. "Do you mean about yesterday when the Great Gate was glowing and several individual came through?"
They all looked at her. "You know about this?" asked Dana.
"I saw it, but I thought they were all your friends and never minded it" replied Sienna.
This was a shocker, they're teenage friends from across the cosmos came, and didn't even tell them.
"Maybe they'll tell us what happened when we meet up with them" said Teri.
"Agreed" replied Jackie and Mandee.
"For now, let the clothes testing commence!" said Whitney. They grab Sienna and bring her to check on some clothes.
Sienna Khan is waiting at the clothes changing room and she looks around and then she looks at one of the mirrors and the way she looks. 'I can tell this will be one hell of a day.'
Then she spots all of the girls with tons of clothes in their arms. Sienna was shocked at how much they can carry.
"You ready Sienna?" asked Jackie.
"Umm, yes?" replied Sienna, but her thoughts say. 'No.'
(Montage)
Sienna is wearing an off shoulder red shirt with yellow stripes, and brown shorts.
Sienna is wearing a yellow dress with black stockings and a yellow sun hat.
Sienna is now blushing to the fact she's wearing a black two piece swim suit with brown stripes.
Sienna is wearing an orange shirt with a white hoodie jacket and skin tight jeans.
Sienna is confused as to why she is wearing a cowgirl outfit, she doesn't even know this style.
The next thing she's wearing is a cheer leading outfit? 'This is ridiculous.'
And finally she is now wearing a black and orange striped off shoulder top, a red shirt inside, black jeans with a gold colored belt.
Throughout the whole clothing change, the only thing she didn't change was her foot wear.
They looked in awe.
"That is so the one Sienna!" said Lori.
"You look so cool in it!" said Dana.
"A lot of eyes will be on you" said Becky.
She didn't like that last verbal gesture, but when she sees herself in the mirror, she is impressed. 'Huh, not bad at all. I could work with this.'
She then recalls the former attire she wore, the one that symbolized her loyalty to the White Fang. But she knows the clan she called her people is now under corrupted control. 'I guess is should stick with this, since I am in this world.'
She only thinks it would be necessary to robe on her old clothing when the time to return to Remnant comes.
"So, what's the response?" asked Jackie.
Sienna looks to them and sees their smiles. Sienna also smiles. "Okay, I guess this is good. I like it."
They all squeal in glee, Sienna had to cover her tiger ears for that. 'And that's the reason why the Guardian warned me about teenagers, and I thought Grimm had ear piercing howls and screams.'
They soon pack up the stuff they got and Sienna puts her old garments into one of the bags and brings it with her. And now she knows why Boomer gave her some cash, he knew this would happen. 'I should thank him when I get back.'
They all leave Reiningers and make their way to the Food court. The food court has gotten some new changes, new food stands were now available.
"So, what will you guys want to eat?" asked Whitney.
"Well, there is the new waffle time food stand and the new donut food stand" said Leni.
"And the pizza food stand and the new burger food stand" said Lori.
"Let's just get something and eat, I am starving" said Carol.
Sienna chuckles. They reminded her so much of some of her people when they went to decide what to eat. "Let's just pick out what's edible and new."
"Good call Sienna" said Becky.
Carol and Teri head to the nearest food stand and order their food.
Sienna then speaks. "Do any of you even know how old I am?"
They remain silent from that question, they all realized. 'That's the one thing we forgot! Her age!' They had no clue if she was even a teenager or an adult. They heard that some Faunus come in different shapes and sizes.
"Umm, somewhere in your twenties?" replied Dana.
"Late teenage years?" replied Mandee.
Sienna chuckles. "You guys have no clue do you?"
They all sigh. "Yeah, we don't."
"I'm nineteen years old. I was given leadership of the White Fang when I was eighteen" replied Sienna. "So, I am classified as an adult."
They all remained shocked by this.
"Literally did not see this coming" said Lori.
"Huh, and I thought you were eighteen" said Dana.
"Now we know, I guess" said Becky.
"So, technically you're an adult who hasn't been in her twenties yet" replied Whitney.
"I think that's early twenties" said Leni.
"Sorry to know what happened to you at that point" said Jackie.
"So getting that bad moment at a young age is tough" replied Mandee.
Sienna knows what Jackie and Mandee are talking about. They notice this.
"Oh, sorry about that" said Jackie.
"No, no. it's fine. I prefer to let some people know of what happened to me and how I got here. It feels nice to get some of that off my chest, I still hate Adam Taurus for betraying me like that" replied Sienna.
"And we've got your back for when the time comes to reclaim your rightful spot on the White Fang throne" replied Lori.
Sienna still recalls that talk she had with all the Royal Defenders. As of now, she was glad she has heroic allies and now teenage friends.
While they all chat and eat their lunch, none of them even noticed Leon and Sergei carrying a large TV out of the mall. "Why is the prize so freaking big?!" asked Leon.
"Stop complaining. I won that trivia challenge so we gotta get this thing back to Spellman Hell Mansion, now" replied Sergei.
"And to think, we only came here for some new cable wires and extension cords and you won that stupid trivia challenge!" complained Leon.
Not far behind, carrying the bags filled with the extension cords is Neil. He then spots Sienna and the teenage girls hanging out.
Neil smiles at this. 'Looks like Sienna got herself some teenage friends, and a new look. Good for her.'
"Can you help us dude?!" asked Sergei.
"Alright, alright" replied Neil as he goes to help them.
To be continued …..
A/N: I would like to thank my sister for helping me figure out the age of Sienna, it is true that she was leader of the White Fang when she was 18. That was the time Blake was 17 years old in volumes 1 – 3, Blake then became 18 during volumes 4 -5. So, technically when Blake was 17, Sienna was 18. Blake then became 18 and Sienna 19. Thanks a lot for the help sis. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
