After we had finished our midwinter shopping, we decided to go shopping for ourselves.
"Oh, what I wouldn't give to go to a ball," Kelly was dreamily staring at a blue ball gown in a window.
"We could you know," Sarah stated. "I mean come on, we do teach their children."
"Then all the better we don't go, 'cause if they saw us, we'd be fired in a second." Sara joked.
"Yeah, but still..." Kelly started to move on.
"Who says we still can't have the dresses?" I asked. "I mean we could possibly sometime in the near future have to go to a formal dance..." I grinned, "Come on, what are we going to wear to Erin's wedding? We don't exactly have nice dresses."
That seemed to cheer Kelly up. "Well when we get enough money so that we won't be poor for the next month, all of us will just have to go and get one."
"You'd look dreamy in a light blue one Kelly." Sara looked at all of us, "and for you Leah, green. And lastly for Sarah, hmm, I'm seeing a darker blue..."
"Well what about you Sara?" Sarah walked over. "Hmm, what color do you think out style guru shall have?"
"I think, pale purple..." Sara kinda 'nee-d' that.
"Peach." Kelly offered.
"I don't know, we'll just have to ask an expert..." Sarah started off down the street.
"Don't you dare...!" Sara took after her.
Kelly shrugged her shoulders at me, and we went after them.
When we finally caught up with them, Sarah was desperately trying to go down the street to a group of men. Sara looked as if she was going to kill Sarah or tell Mulder something. I decided to go help her out.
"Hey Sarah," she looked up.
"What?"
"Well, do you know that Mulder carried you all the way back to your room from the Madrigal?"
"What!?!" Sarah's face got flustered. "I'm gonna kill him!"
"Thanks." Sara came over to Kelly and me. "You don't even want to know what she was going to do..."
"Well, are we done shopping?" I asked, I was starting to get a bit cold.
"Just about, we have one more stop to make..." Kelly grinned and started off in the general vicinity of the Madrigal.
"Well I guess that we just have to follow her..." Sara started after and I followed.
"Oh hi Jeremy..." Kelly was talking when we rounded the corner.
"Hi Kelly..., Sara, Leah." We had just rounded the corner where they were talking.
"Hi," We did the normal greeting and eventually I finally took notice of the man Jeremy was with.
"Hi, I'm Leah." I aimed it at the man Jeremy was with.
"Nice friend you are, Jer. We meet nice ladies on the street and they have to introduce themselves..."
"Oh well, call me a daft prick... This is Riley of Finn's Lake. Riley this is Sara, Kelly,... and Leah." He pointed us all out and stayed extra long time staring at me.
I blushed, god he is soo cute. Say something stupid, they were looking a bit uncomfortable. "Uh, we were just about to go to the Madrigal for some tea, would you like to join us?"
"Sur-"
"Sorry Jer, we still have to go check in and we're already late... Nice to meet you all, and I hope to keep you to your offer some other time." He smiled and I took notice Sara seemed offily interested in him.
They took off back in the direction of the palace, and us off the Madrigal.
"Rrrrrooowl, did you see him!" Sara laughed. "Well well well, that would have been nice to have a 'drink' with him."
"Sara!" Kelly scolded. "God you are too horny..."
"'Scuse me, I am not 'horny' *cough* you little slut *cough* I am just aware of the species around me thank you very much."
"He was looking at you, trust Leah didn't notice because she was preoccupied, but I did." She sighed, "I am never going to get a man here..."
"Yes you will," Sara grinned devilishly. "I know quite a few pages and squires, but mostly pages, who have you in mind as the ideal girl right now..."
"Oh, shut up..." She laughed, "Am I never to forget that?!"
"Come on, we'll go to the Madrigal and you can hit on the cute bartender if you want..."
"Oh, you mean the one that you don't like?" She laughed. "I think I will."
"Come on I'm freezing, lets get there already."
We did and took a table by the bar.
"3 teas please." Sara ordered as Kelly smiled at the bartender. "Coming right up."
"Go get your purse," I urged.
"I will when he doesn't have a customer." She glanced at me, "Well, okay, maybe I'll go get it now..."
She went over and started a conversation with Brandon. When she came back a few minutes later, she was carrying her purse.
"Oh my god, this is such a good day. I got to talk to two incredibly nice hotties and I went shopping."
Our teas came and we busied ourselves with adding what we wanted.
"Did he say anything interesting?" Kelly asked.
"Well as a matter 'o fact, he did. He asked me what your name was."
"Your lying."
"No, I'm not. Okay do you see the other bartender? The kinda tall one? Well he wanted to know what your name was... If your wondering, his name is Andy."
"Well then, does anybody need a drink?... Sara?"
"No, do not look at me, I don't want Brandon to think I'm a drunk."
"Nice time to start 'hun." I joked.
We finished our teas and headed back to our rooms.
---
"Hmm, I wonder where Sarah is?" I walked in, the only thing that had proven she had been here was the fact that all of her bags were in one corner.
"I think she's been scouring the castle ever since she left us." Sara had seen the same thing I did.
"Well I for one am tired, so if you'll excuse me, Im going to go wash up and go to bed." Kelly pushed passed us.
"Well that leaves the two of us." Sara said setting her bags down.
"I have been working all day, I'm kinda tired too."
"Oh, well then talk to me while Kelly's in the bathroom. I have had a very interesting idea."
"What??"
"Well seing as it's almost Midwinter and all,..."
"Yeah, go on Sara."
"Well, the pages get time off, and poor Kel's been surrounded by guys a lot, and I think she deserves a girls night out..."
"Yeah that would be fun, and besides, she's not that much younger than any of us... It would be fun. Who would you invite?"
"Well," she started. "I was thinking of the four of us, Kel, and maybe Sarah could get Daine to come... Sound fun?"
"Yeah, actually it does." I yawned, I am too tired, Kelly better get out of there soon...
