Enix looked down on the magazine with her elbows on the counter, chewing on her gum. It seemed like it was a slow day in Hot Topic, even though it's near the holidays. Sighing, she flipped a page, looking up and around to see if the customers were done window shopping or actually buy something. Seeing that no one was done yet, and there were two boys near the back talking about what Tripp pants to get for their girlfriends, it made her chuckle a bit.
It's been almost 3 months now since she started working at Hot Topic, and she couldn't be happier than ever. Though, as she looked through her magazine, she thought of future art projects she could do, and wondered if her friends have at least come up with a new song, or would they leave her to write one again.

August trudged into Hot Topic, "Gah, now what?" He turned to Kyuza and said; "I dunno what to get him, do you have any idea?"
Kyuza shook his head, he had no idea what Remii wanted or liked. It was his birthday but he had no idea. "No, not really. Maybe we could get him like a pare of pants or some weird shirt... He likes weird shirts right? You know, with like dancing food products on them, or something?"
August nodded; "Yeah, he does like those kinds of shirts. But a shirt would be lame. Maybe we could get him some weird stuffed animal or somethin'. Or maybe we should just ask that lady over there. She looks like she likes the same stuff Remii does." he strutted over to the girl and asked promptly: "Excuse me miss, do you work here?" then he spotted the name tag and continued without delay, "We're in a band, Rainbow Shotguns, ever heard of us? Well anyway, we're looking for a few presents for Remii, the lead singer and guitarest's, birthday. And we have no idea what to get him. So we thought -"
"You thought." cut in Kyuza, looking a bit annoyed.
" - so I thought you could give us some help?" August stared at the lady, standing on the balls of his heels and awaiting an answer.

Being asked for her help, she looked up surprised, hearing what the two men were asking.
"Yeah, I heard of you guys. Awesome music, by the way. Huh.. well, usually I get a really awesome shirt that's from Invader Zim, A sleeveless hoody, good set of a tight, snug jeans, or some punk metal accessories. And if you still can't find anything, then just get him a nice gift card, and he can stroll in here for his birthday, and buy what appeals to him." grinning at both of them as she explained.

August looked happily at the girl, she knew who they were! "You know us?! Oh cool! I didn't know anyone really knew us... I mean, we've had concerts but I've never just asked anyone in the street. I'm only the bassist, so I'm not very important and popular like Remii is and- "
"Okay dude, that's enough. You can flirt later. Right now we have to get these things and go, Remii's expecting us at his condo remember?" Kyuza stopped August before it was too late. He liked August, very much so, but he lothed how August could go on and on about the band.
"Oh yeah," August blushed, rubbing the back of his head; " thanks. Well... I think I'll just get him a gift card... Whadda’ you think you'll do Kyuza?" August turned to Kyuza, smiling.
"I'm going to get him a nice Invader Zim hoody. The one over there with Gir on front screaming 'PIGGY!!!!' I think he'd like that." Kyuza nodded, seeming to be pleased with his witty decision.
August looked amused, "Are you honestly going to get him that?"
"Yeah, and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith!" he laughed, and as he laughed, August laughed along to. Guitar Hero was one of Remii's favorite video games, he'd probably get it for the Xbox 360, since Remii had an Xbox 360 Elite. Kyuza thought that his gift would be a nice one. He didn't know where Brock had gone to get his gift for Remii, but he hoped it'd be nice.
August laughed and said "Come on Kyuza get his hoody and let's go."
"What size does he wear?" Kyuza asked hurriedly.
"Medium." August answered firmly.
"How do you know?" Kyuza wondered.
"I went through his stuff to find out myself just for the occasion!" sniggered August in a sly way.
"Oh. NICE!" Kyuza laughed and fake punched August in the gut. Then they went and got their things and went up to pay for them at the counter.

Enix chuckled as she watched their conversation between them, surprised to hear that she was probably the first to tell the band she's heard of them. A smile came on her face that she was happy she managed to get other person to find the right item. She wondered what Remeii would look like in a closer view, since at the concerts, she saw him from a few feet.
Sitting up a bit, she grabbed on of the gift cards, and looked August with a warm smile, "How much do you want to put on the gift card?"

August shrugged honestly; "Oh... Umm... Well I guess... Well.... I don't... Maybe... Um..." August hadn't got that far when he had got the idea of buying it and he wasn't sure how much Remii would need. Finally Kyuza whispered something into his ear and August said: "Eighty dollars please!" in a triumphant almost shout. "Sorry, I hadn't thought of how much... I think that'll be enough right? You might see Remii when he comes in. Today is his birthday. So he might come in today after the party. Maybe tomorrow, I dunno. Just don't give him a hard time, he gets enough grief from us and his sister. Well, thanks for the help!" and him and Kyuza walked out of the shop and off to Riverview Music Store.

Enix chuckled a bit, smiling, "Don't worry, I won't." she shook her head a bit, turning her attention back to the magazine, with a smile on her face.

[Well, guess you are literate. That's a good thing. You rarely get any good people lately. It's funny, cause' at first Shouga was like training me. But then I re-read The Lord of the Rings, and a Charles Dickens book, and I kind of surpassed him. He's gotten way better since I've seen him last though. So don't give him grief about the little gramatical and spelling errors he makes. They're small, and I always kinda edit them. I was sort of worried that you might not be literate. But I was wrong! And I'm quite glad that I was wrong! Yay!!!]

[Lol, well thanks. Don't worry, I never give anyone grief. Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I know what you mean, it's hard to find literate people these days for RPs. But thanks again. n_n]

At around ten PM, August was sitting on a bench, a few feet from the McDonalds. It was somewhat dark in the mall, there were few people, and he was just sitting, listening to Modest Mouse on his iPod. He loved that band, they helped him through a lot of times. Now was one of those hard times; he felt as if Remii was the only important person in the band, probably because he got all the girls. Even Kyuza got fan girls! But August? Who wanted to hug the Bassist? No one even really KNEW who the bassist was. "Fall Out Boy's a different story though..." chuckled August.
"The bassist in Fall Out Boy was named Pete, he was some emo poser who wore eyeliner and got all the girls he wanted. And to top that, he was married at like..." his thoughts trailed off, and he thought for a moment; then he just took a good guess: "...twenty seven or so. But he really... isn't that sexy. But whatever, he has 'guy liner' so that makes him hot..." once again August's thoughts trailed off. And he continued sitting there, waiting to be shoved out by a guard or something. Hot Topic was just closing, and a bunch of other stores were already closed. He was sitting only about thirty feet from Hot Topic anyway.

Enix walked out of Hot Topic, twirling the keys on her index finger as she whistled a song. Pivoting easily, she pulled down the metal gate, and locking it at the bottom. She turned around, noticing August, smiling as she walked over to him.
"Hey, you're still here?" crossing her arms as she walked over to him, sitting next to him on the bench, crossing her legs as she looked over to him, grinning. She was surprised he was still here in the mall.

He shook his head softly, "Naw, I skipped out on Remii's party after his 'speech'" he added quotes to the word and made his voice sarcastic. "It just got boring, Even Kyuza was having fun, at least he was dancing. I spent around two hours there, and got sick; so I left. I came here, got some chocolate at See's, and I've been sitting here for twenty minutes. I just...." but he didn't finish his sentence, he just got quiet again and looked up at the skylight. The moon was shining on his orange and brown mixed hair, making it look elegant and creating a shimmer on his forest green eyes. His old girlfriend, Tonya, had told him that he had beautiful eyes. But that was the best compliment he got from her. He got dumped a month later.

Enix chuckled a bit as she listened to his story, but a bit surprise that he didn't finish his sentence. Curious to know what he's been doing for twenty minutes besides drinking Hot Chocolate, she grinned a bit. "Just what? Come on, tell me, man."
She stared over at him, smiling as she noticed how beautiful his hair was with the moonlight. Her lips parted a bit as she noticed his eyes too, staring in awe as she never saw any shade of green before.

"I just hate it how he gets all the attention!" he slammed his fists down on the bench and buried his face in his hands. He wasn't crying, he was just showing his outward state of dissatisfaction. "He's my best friend, and he seems to beat me at everything: looks, music, singing, fashion, friends, art, grades, age, height, his love life to! GAWD!" he slammed his fists down once more and looked down at his feet, shivering.
[Gtg. My mom has to turn in her car and she's dragging me and mah bro along. I'll be back in a couple hours or so. Sorry ^-^;]
