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!

[Scares some old lady out of a seat and plonks down with a sigh next to where she's trying on shoes.]

[trinities]

[ trips over her own feet and falls over sobbbb ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[sorry sis but BRB DYING OF LAUGHTER.] Serves you right.

[trinities]

[ sits up, GLARE ]

Well it doesn't matter if I can't walk in them in space!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Still laughing here 8)] Yeah, yeah. Just get some and let's go already.

[trinities]

You have no appreciation of how hard girls work to look cute! [ picks herself up and CROSSES HER ARMS before sitting down to take the shoes off ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Michael just shoots her a look that plainly says 'well, duh']

Are you getting those? [And no, of course that isn't impatience in his tone.]

[trinities]

Yep! And some more, besides! You'd have a better appreciation of all this if you tried wearing heels, you know.

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[And this look clearly reads 'keep dreaming because like hell that's ever gonna happen'.] Fuck no. I'll leave that to you.

[trinities]

[ just grinsssss and leans over to pull out another shoebox ] They come in pretty big sizes, you know!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[GLAAAAAAAAARE] Fuck. Off.

[trinities]

Aw, come on, not secure enough to crossdress? [ but she puts the shoes back, she's not really too bothered ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Still glaring.] Fuck you! I don't-- [He cuts himself off as his brain catches up to his mouth.] Nice try, sis.

[trinities]

It's a classic!

[ tries on a few pairs more of shoes, then takes a few up to the register ]

So~ What next, food or guy's clothes?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Food. [There isn't a question in Michael's mind as to which one to choose. If he never sees another clothes store, it'll be too soon.

And he still doesn't trust Nena's intentions.]

[trinities]

Fine by me, I'm starving and I haven't had fast food in forever! [ hands him the shopping bag and leads the way out into the corridor, elbowing through the crowds ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Why is it that the word 'no' seems to disappear from his vocabulary where his sister is concerned?

He takes the bags with a sigh and trails after her, glad to be taking a break from this nightmare.]

[trinities]

[ because I'm fucking adorable, that's why. ]

It's so weird to be back in gravity again!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. [Michael may have been back in space for less time that Nena, but he had spent most of his life up there so it did feel weird to not be floating around.]

Where do you wanna eat?

[trinities]

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.]
