Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Black Rose Arc: One: The Black Rose ❯ Chapter 19

The Black Rose chapter Nineteen?

(At the local mall three hours later)

The gang had arrived at the mall about three hours ago. Within that short time Quatre had dragged them around eighteen different gothic clothing shops, seven material shops, five dress/ suite maker shops, nine jewellery shops, fourteen cosmetic stores and three different hairdressers. He had made eleven shop assistants cry, three managers burst into tears and had yet to find them each `the perfect outfit'.

"Just how many shops have we been into now?" A slightly grumpy and extremely bored Zechs asked.

"I lost count after thirty" Treize replied, dropping the stack of boxes and bags Quatre had `asked' him to carry.

They had now moved onto shoe shops. O joy.

"Hey Sally, what do you think of these?" Quatre asked, holding up a pair of electric blue boots.

"There nice, what do you think of these?"

"Um, Quatre? Don't you think you've bought enough shoes now?" Trowa asked from behind the stack of shoes he and Heero had been asked to carry.

"Oh? But I've only bought thirty pairs…." Quatre pouted.

"I am going to KILL MAXWELL for not warning us about this!" Wufei ranted. For once, neither Treize nor Zechs argued.

"Oh well, I guess this will have to do. When we get back to the apartment you guys can start trying outfits on!" Quatre beamed.

"Yui, Barton, remind me NEVER to get drunk around your boyfriends again!" Wufei groaned, receiving nods of agreement all around.

"Hey Duo, we're back!" Quatre happily bounced into the room, followed by a smirking Sally and five pissed off and tired looking males.

"Hehehe, I forgot to warn you that Q tends to get a bit hyper during shopping unless you confiscate the credit card didn't I?" Duo chuckled, receiving glares all around.

"You mean we could have prevented all of that torture?!" Wufei shouted.

"Mark it down as a learning experience. Hey Q, did you remember to pick the stuff up that I asked you to get for me?" Duo asked, turning to Quatre.

"Oh, yea, its in here somewhere….here you go!" Quatre said, throwing several large black carrier bags towards Duo.

"Ok, who wants to volunteer first?" Quatre enthusiastically asked. Treize, Zechs, Wufei, Heero and Trowa all fearfully took a step back.

"Wimps! I'll go first, alright Quatre?" Sally asked, following a slightly pouting Quatre through to his office.

(1 hour later)

"Do you think that she is ok in there?" Heero nervously asked a smirking Duo.

"Oh, yea, she'll be fine. She's only been in there for an hour, that's not that long by Q's standards. It depends on how carried away he gets."

"Oh"

(Inside Quatre's office)

"Quatre, this is like the thirtieth outfit you've had me try on!"

"Wait….ah ha! I've got it! Here, try this on!" Quatre emerged from behind the large stack of his purchases, throwing the outfit in question towards Sally.

"Hey, I like this one!" Sally exclaimed, emerging from out behind a screen.

Sally wore a short, very short back and white tartan skirt and fishnet tights. She wore an extremely tight black and white long-sleeved top with the word `vampire psycho bitch' written in red, looking like dripping blood. She also wore a black and silver studded belt and high black and white tartan boots. Silver bands encircled her upper arms and wrist, her fingers were covered in silver and onyx rings. She wore black nail polish and black and white makeup. Her hair had been re-dyed blond, black and white, and had been left out. She also wore a new black and white leather chocker with a single red cross in the centre (like the first aid cross sign) and crossed scythes behind it.

"That is defiantly the one. Wait here a minute" Quatre ordered.

"DUOOO!!!!!!! GET YOU'RE BUT IN HERE NOW!!!" Quatre shouted, turning back to his desk.

"Hehehe. COMING Q!" Duo shouted back from the living room. " If you will just excuse me for a moment gentlemen, I believe Quatre is almost done with his first victim."

"I'm here Q, you ready for me to do the symbol yet?" Duo asked, popping his head around the door.

"Like the outfit. See, I told you Q had good taste. Sit. Stay still" Duo ordered Sally, rifling through his makeup bag, looking for a black body art pen.

"There…done!" Duo said ten minutes later. Sally now had a small red cross on her cheek with a mini single scythe behind it.

"Cool. Want me to go out and get one of the others for you?" Sally asked, standing up.

"No, that's ok, I'll do it in a minute Sally. Do you want to go on through to the other living room?" Quatre asked.

"Other living room?" Sally asked, eyebrow raised.

"Yea, we sorta have several. The other one is just through here, you can wait for the others in there, ok?" Duo answered.

"Yea, sure. See you in a bit!" Sally replied happily, going through the other ebony door.
