Girls' Day Out (Boys can come too)
When Moira had inquired about where she could get a new backpack and some new clothes, Cait saw it as a perfect opportunity to go into the city. They had been cooped up at Xavier's since the Mojoworld stuff and Cait felt like the walls were closing in on her. Even though she spent most of her time down by the lake when she wasn't a few miles down the road at class at the local community college.

It was time to get out and for some freedom.

Cait talked to Uncle Scott and had gotten permission before sending out a text to all the other girls at the mansion. Then she thought about it a minute and sent out a page to the boys. Might as well include them as well. The girls couldnt' be the only ones going stir crazy.

When the specified time arrived, she was waiting by one of the school vans. It was nice being one of the older students who had a driver's license at times.

	"Shopping," Cait answered Chris and gave her a smile. "Moira needs some new clothes and I think we could all use a refresher to our wardrobes." She gave Moira a smile. "It's not a problem. We could all use a few new outfits." Cait was dressed in her usual style. A nice loose top, her favorite pair of worn jeans, a pair of soft leather boos and the usual jewelry.

	Jess, technically, did not wear clothes. Of course, when you were made of light, you weren't technically naked either. But if she went "shopping" at least, she could follow styles and update her general appearance. "Window shopping, anyway," she said, as she approached the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great." Moira looks the van over. "Cars are still such odd things sometimes, I have to admit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey Jess. Glad to see you're coming with us. The more the merrier." She looked at the assembled girls. "Let's give it a minute or two more to see if anyone else is coming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mind if we hit a few used clothing or Goodwills? Need to restock on some fabrics and stuff to mod." Chris grinned. She hadn't gone on a design binge in a few weeks and her fingers itched to get sewing again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course not," Cait replied. To be honest, those stores were about the only stores that her budget would call for. Books for school had cost more than she had counted on and she wasn't going to ask her parents for more money for clothes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Goodwills are like Oxfams, right? Interesting places." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glowstick_girl 2009-09-26 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Jess said to Chris. "The teachers all keep telling me I need to get out more, so... here I am." She went on. "You know... if you ever need a model or anything for designs or stuff, I can pretty much make it look like I'm wearing anything. Save a little on material before you put it together or something."

	"Something similar," Cait answered Moira. "Second hand stuff. Which is about all I can afford right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-09-26 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Chris cracked her knuckles. "Ladies... you grab whatever patterns you like, and just tell me what you want." She laughed happily, possibly even cackled a little. She turned to Moira. "Yeah... I use them to stock up on fabrics for the clothing I design. Just buy large and start hacking away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In her experience over various Decembers, Moira's more use to such places as where outgrown clothes go than as where new clothes come from, but she listens to all that and nods with interest. And then she climbs into the van and reminds herself how a seat belt works. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glowstick_girl 2009-09-26 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	Jess took her own seat in the van and buckled in. Not that she needed a seatbelt, but it would appease the cops at least. Shopping. She couldn't remember the last time she'd done that. Wow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-09-27 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Cait climbed in behind the wheel. "I think we have everyone that's going," she said. She started the van and pulled out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris leaned up towards the front seat from the first passenger row. "So you driving us all the way in, or are we catching the local train?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-09-27 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Train," Cait answered as she steered the van down the driveway. "Even though I've driven in the city, parking's a bitch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glowstick_girl 2009-09-28 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Jess actually smiled a little. "This should be fun. I can barely remember the last time I even left the grounds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2009-09-28 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, and Jess, you got the message that Granny -- Dr. MacTaggert, you ken -- is coming soon, aye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glowstick_girl 2009-09-28 02:23 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Yeah. Said she might have something that could help with my control." Well... it was worth a shot, anyway, she figured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-09-28 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Doctor Mac'll figure it out. She's awesome." Chris grinned encouragingly. "Dani'll be coming with us on these trips soon enough." She paused. "Actually.. you two think you're going to stay on Earth at all once she's fixed, or go right home?" She looked at Moira. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll probably stay until the following December." Which wouldn't be this December, certainly, not at this pace. (Reply to this)(Parent)
