upon hearing Zeze's offer he couldn't help but say "Are you sure you know what you know what she likes no offense but you don't seem like the girly type." Abel flinced and readied himself to be hit by Zeeze.

"Pft."

Sakiko snickered in the background, her lips twitching from the effort to not laugh. Zeze's eyes widened, seeing Abel flinch obviously. She slapped Abel's shoulder in a friendly - and not meant to be painful, she hoped - way and guffawed,

"Haha, I'm not the one to get violent...but now, Saki..."

She trailed off, a smile on her lips. She laughed,

"Well, then, I'll tell you how to be manly. I think you can trust me on that."

She winked, the tattoos on her face crinkling slightly. She was trying to look as friendly as she could, but she wasn't sure if it was working as she looked like she was maniac. The many piercings winked in the light as Zeze opened her mouth to say,

"Now, remember to get there early, because a man who makes a woman wait immediately leaves a bad impression. And remember to always be courteous..."

Sakiko couldn't help but add,

"I think Abel knows that much, Zapheta. Besides, he has more manners than you could ever have. I wonder who slopped down 5 plates of food in a mere minute."

Aqua, not having to work anymore, placed her hands on her hips and glared at Zeze and Abel. "And what am I? Chopped liver? I am Keychain's best friend. I know how to 'woo' her better than what Zeze does." Quickly, she glanced at Zeze. "Er, no offense."

"That's what she says," commented Jasper.

"If I could shoot fire or lightning from my fingertips like Keychain, I would," snapped Aqua. "And by the way, Abel, Keychain's not 'girly'. You should see it when her and Jasper get at it with the games."

"I think Zeze and Aqua should have a food eating competition. They both came make food disappear." That time, Aqua came up behind him and gave him a nice slap on the head. "Ouch! What was that for?"

She scowled lightly at Jasper before turning to Abel. "Now, Keychain is very picky. On mostly everything. Clothing she doesn't give a damn about. But dressing to impress wouldn't be a very bad idea."

"And what do you know about dressing to impress? Every day you look like you dressed in the dark," said Jasper.

Aqua didn't match in clothing. She had yellow leg warmers that peeked out from under her long, violet skirt. Her ruffled red blouse didn't help matters much at all either. "So? It's not like as if I should ever dress to impress. I'm seven and a half feet tall. What kind a guy would want a girl taller than her?"

OoC: o.o Six pages, people. That's a lot.

That's why Sammi is gonna make me a suit and Zeeze i'm usually twenty minutes early unless there is an old lady or" Abel was cut of

"Or unless he gets lost on the path of life. Abel why is their a old hag on the corner of every street." A girl with her black hair in a ponytail and was wearing a robe that was pure black and the hood covered down to her mouth. She had a package in her hand here is your suit she said throwing the package at Abel and disapering just as suddnly as she arrived.

"That was Sammi." Abel said catching the package in his head with a hint of aggitation in his voice.

Zeze jumped immediately at Jasper's suggestion, her arm shooting up towards the sky. She exclaimed,

"Food eating contest? Eating contest?? I am still not full, my dears! I think six more plates and I will be on the point of being satisfied. Food is my joy, food is my life, food is my--"

She was cut short of her speech when a mysterious young girl in black came over. She rubbed her hands in joy, crying,

"O, in the name of Din! Is that your glamorous suit??! Well, whatcha standing there for? Try it on, darling! Try it on!"

Zeze rubbed her hands delightfully, as she flattered herself a zealot in the light of fashion. Unlike Sakiko who dressed in the most boring of the grayest clothes possible in all of Hyrule, Zeze was vibrant, full of life...and dressed accordingly. She beamed at Abel with an encouraging smile while she walked towards Aqua. Putting a warm hand on Aqua's shoulder, she muttered,

"Remind me later to all have a one big, girly clothes party. I still suggest that dress shopping! And I want to see Key-Key's dress. As a matter of fact, I am dyiinnngg to see it. If it doesn't work out, I always have my closet wide and open. It's what girlfriends are for, eh? eh??"

She slapped Aqua's shoulder brightly.

Keychain glanced at the woman as she walked back outside. Glancing at everyone, her eyebrows rose. She watched the woman leave. "How did she know where to find this place? It's not like as if there's a big poster on the door out front."

"Oh, hey, Key, you'll never guess what Zeze--"

"I heard, and it's a no," responded Keychain, butting in on Aqua. Her friend pouted. "I have enough clothing. There's no reason to go out and shop when the date's tomorrow to begin with."

"Well, I guess so . . ." Aqua sighed lightly. "But how about we go pick something out for the date. You need some nice high heeled shoes too."

"I don't think so."

"Zeeze I really don't want to try on the suit right now. In response to your question Keychain i don't know how Sammi found this place she is mysterious and mystic." Abel went inside to find a place to lay the package so he decided he would head upstairs and put it on the bed in the guest room. "Oh and Zeeze please don't go upstairs andlook at it i want it to be a surpise for everyone even I don't know what the suit looks like."

Sakiko raised her eyebrows at Abel.

"Two things. It's not "Zee-Zeh", it's "Zeh-Zeh". If that's too difficult for you, you can just call her Zapheta. And another, are you going to come down with the suit on or if you want it to be a surprise, do you want all of us to accompany you on the date?"

She was crossing her arms, a sign of pure annoyance and displeasure. Zeze laughed awkwardly as if to ease the tension and waved to Abel.

"Shoo, shoo, go ahead and try it on, darling! I am sure you'll look just positively sparkling!"

Zeze turned to Keychain and put on a sinister frown.

"Ehhhhhh? No shopping?? But it's so much fun! Well, then, Aqua and I will have to go later on, just for fun."

She winked, a smile immediately replacing the scowl.

OoC: You did the same thing Abel did. lol!

IC: "Lighten up a bit, will you, Sakiko?" mumbled Aqua. She shook her head lightly, the short brunette locks flying around. She pushed Keychain slightly, the shy girl stiff and red in the face. "You too, Keychain. Brighten up a bit. Maybe we can grab a quick girls' early bird shopping spree."

Keychain wrinkled her nose. "I'm not so sure--"

Aqua wrapped an arm around Zeze and Keychain. "Come on, Zeze, we're breaking her. It's not an instant no."

Before Keychain could butt in to say anything, a rumble from the sky beat through the air. Frowning, she said, "I think we should go inside. The rain is going to be coming down again, by my guesses."

Jasper jumped from his chair, the only left outside since he was sitting in it at the time Sakiko did the clean up.

"By the way, how did you clean the backyard so fast?" Keychain inquired.

Ooc: hahahah.... in the olden days, you weren't able to post if you hadn't logged in... guess I accidentally missed a few letters in my password... ^^

IC: Zeze slapped her thigh and began to laugh as if there was no tomorrow at Aqua's plead to "lighten up". She wiped a dangling tear from her eyelashes and choked,

"Li-Lighten up? Sakiko?! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sakiko's scowl deepened, a shadow cast below her eyes and lips. Zeze chuckled softly and nodded in agreement to Aqua's shopping idea. She smiled wickedly at the prospect of making Keychain go on a shopping spree. She didn't exactly understand why such a shy and lovely girl could be such a boy inside.

"I happen to be an early bird, and I think it'll be lotsa fun! Once we change you up a bit with a bit of makeup here and there, and a fab dress, you'll look so different."

Sakiko listened to this conversation with a blank expression, honestly having no opinion of it. She turned her head slowly as Keychain put forth a question.

"By the way, how did you clean the backyard so fast?"

"Magic."

After simply saying this word, she began to walk inside to avoid the rain.

Ooc: Wanna post a shopping topic at Rauru or something?? It'll be sooo much fun!!

In this time Abel has went inside to put on the suit which he found consiting of a coat a white shirt and black pants he dressed and discovered the cuffs had gold buttons which he buttoned and tucked in his shirt and began to walk downstairs.

However Carpenter talked "Don't you look so nice." Abel brushed this of and said are you happy Zeeze.

OoC: How odd, it's raining here as well as the topic. XD

Aqua instantly took a seat on the couch, her feet finding a place on the coffee table. Jasper pushed them off as he took his place next to her. A drink was in his hand, showing he had just exited the kitchen. He glared at Aqua, who gazed evenly at him.

"You're sitting in my seat," he stated.

"I don't see your name on it."

"Don't you dare start, you two," Keychain said. She closed nearby windows. Frowning, she thought about if there was any windows still open. Realizing that her window upstairs had been open all day long, she made her way to her room, closing the window before going downstairs and sitting down. "Make yourselves comfortable. The couches and chairs are comfy."

She looked at Sakiko interestingly. "How did you do the cleanup so easily? I can do a few magic tricks. Mostly is black mage spells, but I can do a few cool things."

"Make brand new trees grow, enchant wall flowers," Aqua listed off. Keychain glared at her. "I know, I know. Can't let your secrets out. Blah, blah, blah. Can we go shopping tomorrow?"

Sighing, Keychain hung her head, not looking at her friend. After a while, she said, "I don't see why not, I guess so."

OoC: Sure!

Ooc: Sorry I didn't post...I was on vacation.

IC: Sakiko glanced at Keychain with almost an irritated look. Her cold gray eyes reflected nothing of the friendly kind, and it was indeed what was in her inner thoughts. Her lips curled, her dark expression read, I don't know why I should bother with those trivial questions of yours, but she opened her mouth to reply archly,

"There's many types of spells - some are deadly and some can be as simple as household chores. It just takes years to learn them and accumulate your knowledge."

Zeze sniffed, strumming on a miniature harp. She was curled in the corner of the couch, her almost catlike eyes peering at Sakiko. She muttered,

"And Sakiko has great pride in her knowledge of magic but none it seems, for music. And they rhyme..."

However, her ears perked up at the mention of shopping. She immediately jumped up from her lazy position.

"Tomorrow?! Tomorrow!! Yes! Of course I agree!! It'll be soooo wonderful! Fabulous! All of us girls should get makeovers!!"

Ooc: Would you like to start the topic?

Keychain's face turned bright red. Shuffling in her chair, she mumbled, "Sorry I even asked." Directing her attention away, she looked around the room, her eyes landing on Abel. Before, she didn't even notice him, but now she had her eyebrows lifted, surprise in her bright blue eyes.

Aqua sat on the arm of the chair, next to Keychain. Her eyes flickered to Abel. Nudging her friend, she whispered, "Do you mind if I take your man out on a date myself? He seems to dress for success."

Face turning to the shade of her hair, Keychain scowled. She nudged at her friend. Laughing with amusement, Aqua got up and went back to sitting next to Jasper. Oddly, they started a civil conversation. Heads close together, it made it seem like the two were plotting something, but Keychain turned her attention away from them to Zeze.

"Shopping. Yes. We will." Keychain sighed and shook her head. "Sometimes I am glad I grew some more after all this time."

"I feel like as if I should shrink. I tower over everyone." Demonstrating, Aqua stood up. Her head almost came in contact with the ceiling. "See? Darren made sure to get a house that has higher ceilings, but he didn't determine that I would be staying here, or that I would be taller than her."

OoC: Right after this I'll post the topic.
