35. [ RL with Michael ]

[trinities]

[ They didn't go to one of the big cities, security was too high there these days-- at least in the good sections-- and even though their names and faces weren't known to the media, better safe than sorry. After all, if Nena got into a fistfight with someone over a sale rack, which had definitely never happened ever before ever, small-town cops were much preferred to a trained military police force, especially since they had no identification papers to speak of.

So they went to a middling-sized town in California, Nena spreading her arms wide and spinning herself around as they entered the local mall. She was wearing jeans and a plain T-shirt, thanks to alignment!nena throwing away anything remotely cute or flattering, but still managed to look happy as anything ]

God, I can't wait to get into some clothes that let me breathe!

McDonalds! They've probably got one in the food court, right? I want a strawberry shake!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs] Probably. Let's go. [He doesn't really mind where they eat as long as he gets some food. He's starving.]

[trinities]

[ Once they get to the food court, Nena cheerfully elbowing a path through the holiday shoppers, she makes a beeline for the McDonald's and stands in front of it, hands on her hips ]

Hmm, what else should I get? I'm totally starving!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

If you don't know then let me order; I know what I want.

[trinities]

You go first, then!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Good. [Turns to the cashier person.] I want a big mac meal, a chicker burger meal, and a quarter pounder meal. With twenty chicken nuggets on the side. [Considers for a few seconds.] Better make those large too. And I want a coke to drink.

[Well, he did say that he was hungry.]

[trinities]

[ totally doesn't see this as odd at all, and pushes up next to him to give her order to the stunned cashier ]

Large strawberry milkshake, double quarter pounder with extra cheese, and large fries! Oh, and like three of those chicken wrap things. And a McFlurry.

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[While Nena is ordering, Michael glares down a guy staring at his sister. He turns back once she's done to find the cashier staring at them incredulously.]

What?

[trinities]

[ he mutters an apology and goes about putting their orders in, as Nena puts her hands on her hips ]

God, you'd think he's never seen hungry people before!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Ugh, tell me about it. And it's fucking annoying when they stare like that too.

[He turns back to see that guy from before still staring at Nena.] Keep doing that and I'll rip out your fucking eyeballs.

[trinities]

[ hands over the credit card and grins at Michael ] You gonna fight him?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[He grins in return] Depends. You mind getting kicked out?

[trinities]

Hmmm, that would be a total pain, we're not done yet and I want my food! Maybe you can find him later~

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Smirking unsettlingly at the poor idiot behind them.] Good idea, sis.

[Turns away, dismissing him.] Is our food ready yet?

[trinities]

[ the cashier nervously pushes the two trays forward; Nena winks at him, but considering what Michael had been saying about the other guy, he flinches backwards. She takes her tray and leads the way off to find a table ]

We should do this more often!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Unable to resist, he shoots the cashier a glare as well, just to see him squirm a bit more, before picking up his tray to follow Nena.]

[Shooting her a sidelong look.] Yeah. Everything apart from the shopping has been fun.

[trinities]

Aw, come on, you get to spend time with your adorable sister!

[ beats a couple teenagers to an empty table and puts her tray down, flipping them off as they glare ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Get out of my head, Nena 8|] [Sitting down across from her] Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, sis.

[trinities]

[ unwraps her hamburger and digs in, am nam nam ] Oh, come on, you know it's true! [ ...except she has crumbs on her face now so probably not quite as adorable as before ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Digs into his own food, practically inhaling it.] [With a mouthful of food] Like I said: everything apart from the shopping has been fine.

[trinities]

Well, we're not stopping now, no matter how much you complain!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH] Yeah, I know. [Continues to decimate his food, moving on to his quarter pounder.]

[trinities]

[ am nam nam milkshake ] Why do you hate shopping so much? Looking good is fun!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Staaaaaaaaaaares. Like she just told him that violence isn't the answer.] Because it's torture. Really boring torture

[trinities]

[ Yeah, seriously, who would say something weird like that? ] Needles under your nails is torture! Waterboarding is torture! Shopping is buying clothes so you look awesome!
