			             Yvette hummed very quietly to herself and she fiddled with the lock to the safe. It wasn't as if she was doing anything illegal. The store had actually hired her to open the lock after they'd lost keys to the cash vault. It still made her feel sneaky and mischievous anyway, and it satisfied something deep within her to pick the lock. She flicked her tail happily and inserted a different pick. She could have drilled the door, but where was the challenge in that? This was much more fun.

			              Chichi had a feeling of going into this shop to ask for some water, she had been running around all day and was very tired.  She noticed the fem noodle she guessed was picking the lock, but no-one seemed worried, so she was probably asked to do it.  She stood behind the counter.  No one was really paying attention to her, so she became interested in the lock.  "You trying to pick the lock??  That looks really hard."  She fanned herself, her throat was dry, but ashe should have known to bring a drink with her today.  She was kinda glad she didn't though, she wouldn't have seen this noodle in action.

			            Yvette glanced up at the blue femme. "Yeah. And no...not really its pretty standard. I've worked with harder." she said, she certainly wasn't going to mention where or why she worked with harder locks but it was true. Although there had been those practice locks in the house when she'd been growing up...and they were considerably harder. There were benefits of growing up with paranoid parents sometimes. 
  She noticed the femme fanning herself, Yvette didn't really notice the temperature. Work had a way of making her ignore minor discomforts, then again her armor did have a cooling system. She normally wouldn't have worn it but she'd broken her glasses the other day and couldn't find her spares. Her helm was the only other option and just wearing that always looked awkward. "Water fountain is down that way next to the restrooms." she said pointing.

			            Chichi was glad to know where the water was.  She walked towards it in a pout, thinking she didn't make much of an impression on the other fem.  She drank quite a bit, maybe too much, her tummy gurgled.  She walked back to the counter, patted her tummy.  "I think I drank too much.."  She giggled, wondering if she could get this noodles attention.  "I wish I could pick locks, that would be interesting, not that i want to break in anywhere, it just would be really handy to have if you were in a pickle.  Yah know?"
  Chichi wondered about the armor, she never seen any like that before..  "You are very interesting, I wonder what you look like under there??   I bet you are pretty."  She smiled at the noodle, still picking the lock.  "My name is Chichi, whats yours??  Um, when you are done, you wanna go sit by the river?  It's very calming, er, not that you need to calm down, you seem very calm already..."  Chichi wondered if the noodle would tell her to go away.  She seemed very into her work, but it never hurt to try.

			            Yvette opened her mouth before she thought threw her response. "What's the fun of knowing how to do it if you don't use it?" she stopped and looked around. "I didn't say that..." she coughed and continued to fiddle with the lock. Honestly she'd already gotten it open, but when you were getting paid by the hour...well she had some loose morals anyway. Of course was another reason she wouldn't drill locks, was over too quickly, and it did save her clients money not having to replace the whole safe. 
  "I'm pretty average I think." she said with a slight laugh. "I'm Yvette Myers." she glanced at the clock in her helmet. "I did need to grab some lunch and get back to the shop, my assistant is also out on calls, and I wouldn't have left under normal circumstances, but this was an emergency." Yvette glanced up and gauged the other femme's expression. "But I suppose if you wanted to come by that would be okay." she gave one finally unnecessary jiggle and swung the safe door open. "There."

			            Chichi clapped.  "Good job!!  I would love to go with you."  She smiled.  "Ohhh, a last name, so fancy.  Neither of my parents have a last name, it probbably doesn't seem like a big deal, I just think that would be cool."  Her tummy stopped hurting a moment ago, so walking wouldn't bug her.  "Is your shop far?  I bet it's nice too."  She wasn't used to chatting with people other then her family.  "I'm kinda new here, so I don't know my way around, from where i come from everything is fancy!"  She laughed rolling her eyes at herself, she was basically from the woods  
  Chichi was glad to have stopped here, if she didn't, she wouldnt have met Yvette, She looked so strong in that armor.  Did Yvette ever fight?  Did her parents?   Was there even a war?

			            Yvette shrugged. "One of my dad's does the other doesn't..." old worries kept her from saying to much. Even if York had been pardoned and given full and legal ownership of D, paranoia ran too deep in the family to ever let anyone know to much. Oh, there were exceptions to that rule, but over the course of time her family had always stuck to those who knew where they came from, or a least were children of others who'd been down the same or similar roads. 
  Yvette herself hadn't had much contact with anyone outside the family and their circle of friends for a long time. 
  "Uh, its across town actually. I have my van out back, I guess if you wanted to get a ride." she shrugged. One shoulder moving up higher than the other somewhat noticeably. "Its just a pawn shop." she said.

			            Chichi noticed the sholder, she wondered if she asked, would she get yelled at??  She had never been in an automobile!  "I have never rode in an automobile before!!  This is so exciting."  She smiled at Yvette.  Chi wondered if Yvette even liked her, she seemed abit cold, and distant.  What could she be thinking about?.  "I noticed your sholder, it looks painful, does it hurt?  what happened to get that, or were you just born that way?"  Chi then realized how all that sounded, was she being rude??  "I mean if you want to talk about it, you don't have to explain anything to me, I was just worried, I know I barely know you, but i think you are very cool, and I hope we could be friends??"  
  Chichi noticed she was really warming up to this noodle, she felt kinda warm on the inside, was she starting to crush??  So fast??  She barely had a real conversation with this noodle.  She felt really stupid,  It was her first crush and it felt really good to like someone, she didn't realize she was blushing a little, barely noticeable.  "Is driving hard?  I am way to scared to ever drive, just seems so scary, I would lose control and crash right away."  She wondered about all the treasure she had in her shop, she could probably look at stuff forever, she liked looking at treasures.  "I bet you have a ton of interesting things in your shop, I can't wait."  She smiled at hopefully her new friend.

			            Yvette glanced over at her shoulder. "Oh, that. I..." she hesitated trying to think of a lie, but knew that wouldn't work, besides the truth was in fact odd enough that she might think she was kidding. "I got shot." she said going to give the invoice to the manager and then leading the other femme out the back to her van. She opened the sliding door and put her kit in and then opened the passenger door for Chichi. "Friends? Sure, I haven't had one of those in a long time." she said honestly, before going around to the driver side. 
  "Its no harder than a lot of other things I've had to learn, and some of those..." she snorted and shook her head. "Lets just say I've been around." she waited for the other femme to get in and get her seat belt fastened before starting the van and pulling out. "I've got the standard pawn fair, tv's, dvd players, game systems, jewelry. There might be some more exotic pieces in there somewhere I suppose." she eased out into traffic and started towards the other end of town.

			            Chichis heart sank when she heard that Yvette was shot.  "Oh no, shot?  Does it hurt, because if it does, i could rub it, i have healing paws, my mom taught me."  She looked over at Yvette while she drove, sitting in this big metal thing that moved.  it felt like she was kinda flying, looking ahead kinda scared her.  "Wow, this moves so fast!"  
  Chichi wondered about Yvettes life, her own life was pretty easy.  "You must have had a tough life...I have had it pretty easy...."  Chi felt bad, it wasn't fair that Yvette had been shot and so on.  "Um....if you ever need help, I will help you for free  ^_^  I have no use for money, we grow our own food and animals.  I..."  Chi looked away and bit her lip, forcing herself to get off the subject  "I can't wait to see your shop, I never seen a DVD player before, but I know cable television!"  She loved watching tv.  Chi was very excited, but sad, and a bunch of other things that she didn't quite understand, but she forced it all down into her tummy, so it wouldn't show.

			            "It hurt when it happened." Yvette said. "Was a couple years ago. I was...helping some friends." she turned down a side street, and didn't add the part where she almost died. No sense in worrying a nice girl about that. She pulled up behind the building and turned off the van. "S'not so bad. I've got two loving parents, a sister, a brother, and three half brothers. Most of them have kids and the kids have kids, so I'm an aunt and grand aunt several times over." She opened her door and slipped out, going around to open the passenger side door and get her kit. 
  "Growing up we actually didn't have TV, just a lot of books. Daddy was kinda...paranoid." There she'd said it, let the other girl take that as it was. 
  She opened the back door and stepped in waiting for the blue femme.  Jenna heard the back door open and looked around the corner. "Aunt 'Vett?" she came around the corner showing off a curvy body and face with two bright blue eyes and softly curling black hair. She was in a shirt and slacks, and swayed easily towards the pair. "New glasses on your desk. I picked them up while I was out." she smiled at the blue angelic. "Hi, I'm Jenna Warren-Myers. I've Yvette's niece and assistant."

			            Chichi was about to continue to chat about the shot, but then realized there was another female.  She was very pretty.  "Oh Hi."  Chi really wanted to continue to talk to Yvette, but sighed and moved on, she would touch on it again later.  "My name is Chichi, it's nice to meet you, your Aunt is very interesting."  She smiled trying not to blush, she was so immature at emotions.
  "I wish I could help your Aunt!  I bet this place is full of treasures!!"  She looked around, but couldnt really see too well, just coming from outside, the light kinda blinded her, so things looked kinda green.

			            Yvette nodded. "Thanks Jen." she motioned everyone in and then closed the door. 
  Jenna smiled. "Aunt 'Vett, is in a league of her own." she considered. "I dunno if we're looking for any help right now. Maybe though." she glanced at her watch. "Can I bug out? I've got a date." she smiled wickedly. 
  Yvette snorted. "Go on." 
  Jenna smiled and got her jacket. "Invoices are on your desk too." she nodded to Chichi. "Nice to meet you," she leaned in and whispered. "Take it easy on the old lady. She's a recluse." she winked and slipped out the door. 
  Yvette shook her head. "Ignore her. She's married but calls any excuse to seduce her hubby a date." she stashed her kit on a shelf. "Feel free to look around. I'm gonna grab my glasses."

			            Chichi looked confused, Yvette wasn't old, not in her mind at least.  "Okay"  Chichi rubbed her eyes, she bet Yvette was even prettier then Jenna, and Jenna was very pretty.  She decided she wasn't going to look at anything until she seen Yvettes face.  "So, you were shot?  See I have heard from older noodles that had been shot with shrapnel and bullets, and they say that they ache alot when temperatures are changing, like when it's about to rain.  I can help you, I mean, well if it doesn't hurt i understand...."  
  Chichi felt silly, but it had to hurt!!!  I mean you don't get shot and just get better??  "Was is serious?"  She bit her lip thinking if she kept asking questions, she was going to make Yvette hate her, but she had to know!

			            "Not really...I haven't gotten old enough for that quite yet. It twinges sometimes and have a slightly diminished range of movement in it." she popped off her helmet her voice no longer having a muffled sound due to talking through a mic. "I take drugs if I really have too." she picked up the new case and opened it, pulling out the large horn rimmed glasses and putting them on. 
  She glanced over at a mirror and frowned, her brown hair was falling out of it's braid. She quickly pulled out the tie and deftly redid it. "Uh...it was nothing my suit couldn't handle, it has some emergency steps it can take if the wearer is injured. Helped I had an AI on board at the time. He knew what to do." She stepped out of her office and looked around. "Well that's better. Have terrible peripheral vision in my helmet." she flicked the end of her tail and looked over at the slightly taller female.
