The Swim Suit Store

[Bree Aldertree]

Bree held up one hand while balancing on the other, and held her thumb up, "Yep, I can do this.. I once walked on my hands all day! It was alot of fun." She said and grinned.

"Oo, Annabelle! Neah's asking you that so that Nate can get an idea on where to ask you to for your first date!" She said and laughed.

[Alavda Noir]

"Okay..." Alavda managed to get out before Cora turned away to pay for her items, "I hope we meet again," she wasn't sure if Cora heard the last part...she was awfully far away.

After paying for her bathing suit, Alavda moved toward the group, "Sorry I took so long. I wanted to see if Cora wanted to come along. She seems like she could use some company. Then again, don't judge a book by its cover, right?"

[Annabelle Ventus]

"Oh, I like about everything, but my favorite things are those with rice!" She says smiling. "Though I don't know how much stuff they have here that is rice other then the Asian Cuisine." She says rubbing the back of her head with her free hand. "What about you Neah? What is your favorite food?" She asks then looks at Bree, blushes and gives her the universal sign of "shut up" by putting her finger in front of her mouth and making the "Shhh" sound. She then looks over at Ala and nods her head in agreement.

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah giggled again at Bree and shook her head. She saw Nate pushing his hair back by running his hand through it, which was a sign that he was embarrassed. This made Neah giggle a little more.

"Oh I love alot of food too, but my favorite is frozen yogart. Its delicious, and just.. heavenly." She said and licked her lips at the thought of it.

[Annabelle Ventus]

"Ya, that does sound good..how about I get one for us to share? Would that be ok?" Annabelle says while smiling at Neah. "By the way, what is everyone's favorite food here? Just curious."

[Alona Knight]

Alona giggled at Bree as she walked around on her hands. "I'm not a picky eater, but my brother's homemade ice cream has got to be my favorite! Though you guys will have to show me around the mall. I have no clue where anything in here is!" she said, giggling a bit.

[Alavda Noir]

"I don't really have any favorites. I would probably eat anything you put in front of me." Alavda thought back, "Although Asian food does sound good." She found it quite amusing that Bree was going to walk on her hands to the food court.

[Neah Brightmore]

"Thats fine," Neah said and smiled at Annabelle, "but really, I can pay. Nate and I get a pretty good allowance from the Hunters Council." She then listened to everyone else's favorite foods.

"Asian food is tasty, but Italian is delicious, its also Nate's favorite food.. right Nate? Mom use to make amazing spaghetti." She said. Then her eyes widened when she realized that she brought up her parents. Her eyes flew to Nate to make sure that his mood wouldn't darken like it had been known to do so many times before at the mention of their parents.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate saw Neah glance over at him, and he understood why. It was true that when she mentioned their mother, his heart did feel like it was clenched, but he resisted the urge to let the good mood darken. After all, he knew that his parents wouldn't want him to stay angry. Instead, he smiled slightly at Neah, so that she knew that he was alright. He saw relief flood her face and he reached for her hand long enough to squeeze it affectionately.

"Yeah, she did. Spaghetti is definately my favorite, but if thats not available then pizza is a close second." He said and smiled at Annabelle.

[Bree Aldertree]

"Don't worry Alona, I think we'll definately show you around! Even though I've never been here, but hey.. exploring a new place is the best kind of adventure!" She said and started walking around in a circle around her friends, still on her hands.

All of a sudden her stomach growled and she giggled, "All this talk about food is making me hungry! Pizza is definately my favorite too, peppy pepporoni!" She said.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda actually laughed. It was hard not to when Bree was on the scene, "You know, pizza or just anything Italian does sound delicious."

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle smiles and nods. "Alright then pizza it is! Then ice cream and frozen yogurt for dessert." She says and and puts her other hand on the ice pack and takes hold of Nate's hand in the hand that was previously holding it. "I hope you don't mind, my hand's just cold from holding that ice pack on my head so long." she says blushing slightly but smiling. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate looked down at Annabelle's hand now holding his, a surprised look crossed his face, but then he smiled at her, "No problem. It is aweful cold." He said.

He took her hand and held it inbetween both of his and started rubbing it gently, causing enough friction to warm it up. Then he dropped one of his hands, but held onto her hand with his other as they walked on toward the food court.
