They'd been trying to get him out of the house for months. Ever since the new chair had come into the picture, Reese just didn't like going out anymore. And, finally, it had come down to one simple thing. Reese needed clothes. He was getting older and there was no way Edge or Wilbur were going to let him go around topless for much longer. And definitely not when he was out of the house.
So, under much protest from the boy, Wilbur had loaded the chair and child into the car and gone off to the mall. Reese, again, was refusing the push himself - complaining that it was too hard and hurt his arms - so Wilbur ushered him along, trying to get an opinion on what sort of clothing he wanted to wear.
"What about this place, Young Sir?" Wilbur asked, stopping in front of some store called the HOLE. The polos in the window screamed 'college Ultra-jock' and made Reese think of Wilbur's casual shirts.
"Stumble into the HOLE!" called a rather cheerful, bouncy girl with a big smile, handing Reese a filer. Reese snuffed, wrinkling his nose before Wilbur continued walking forward.
"Perhaps not," he sighed. No. This wasn't going to be an easy day.

Walking through the mall or rather stalking through the mall a preying mantis and her green dragon moved. They weren't walking quickly more leisurely, every bit of goth as she could be , her lips painted black , her clothes ...mimiced the same, only color were two bright orange bra straps that seemed to contradict the message she was portraying.
She was in all honesty bored, she hadn't seen her boyfriend since she and him ran into Drez. Miffed as she knew all she had to do was to give him a call and yet she stubbornly refused to do so. She didn't want to be one of those stupid clingy girls who couldn't live without their boyfriend.
Stopping in front of a store that had curtains drawn across the window she gave a snort wondering if it was worth going in. She heard...a strange sound, turning her head she spotted a familar adult...Wilbur. She scowled as she spotted him, though it was quickly replaced by excitment as she noticed a certian green hair boy she knew only too well.
"Reese sama!" She called out trying not to sound too eager but at least friendly.
The green dragon rose his head, looking around he spotted the odd contraption the young boy was in, it took him a moment to realize...this boy didn't have legs. And it didn't look like his tail could move him about like his girls boy toy did.

Reese perked some when he heard someone call his name. Gee, that voice sounded familiar...almost like. Reese's head whipped around, his lavendar eyes going wide, and then wider still when he saw the mantis girl.
"THEE!!" he nearly squealed, arms reaching out happily towards his best friend. Man, he hadn't seen her in what felt like forever!! Was she going to be impressed; he'd gotten so big since they'd last hung out. And she looked different too...prettier, more grown up. Made Reese sad he didn't have a present to give her today.
Wilbur did not look so happy. In fact, it was like he and Reese switched attitudes. The boy now glowed with joy, and the butler was sullen and pouty. Zyan. Why on God's green earth...did it have to be Zyanya?
"Wilbur, come on! I wanna go thee Thee!" Reese demanded excitedly, bouncing in his chair, before looking back at the girl...and dragon.
Dragon? Wait, a dragon was with her?
Reese's breath caught in his throat as he gasped, eyes so wide he was lucky they didn't fall out of his head. "Y-your...dragon," he said in awe as Wilbur started moving him forward towards the pair.

Picking up her pace so she could get to her 'little brother' faster her dragon continued his saunter after her. There was no reason to rush in his mind, they would get to him in due time. And though Zyan had cast a dark look at Wilbur from a distance she basically ignored him as she came to Reese.
Using a hand to ruffle his hair in a sisterly sort of fashion she resisted the urge to try and pick him up. He had gotten bigger, big enough that holding him would be awkward. Though her hand lingered on his head as she gave a wry smile.
"Hmmm your growing up nicely. Your going to make all the boys jealous when you have the girls all hanging off of you." She said flashing him a grin.
Hinder approached the boy sniffing at the older human wondering why he smelt so...intolerably clean before moving to investigate the boy. Whomever Zyan had made a point to befriend Hinder needed to investigate them. He gave a loud wuffle sound as he exhaled and then poked and prodded the wheel chair wondering how the thing worked.
"Hinder...stop that. Its just a wheelchair." She snapped sounding irritated by her dragon's curiosity. The green ignored her careful to not touch the boy as he had many spikes on his head he continued to move around the wheelchair obviously ignoring the adult.

Reese was distracted for the moment from her dragon as Zyan's hand came down into his hair, the little boy pressing his head up into her palm like a puppy. Man, it was so good to see her!! He laughed as she basically called him cute, a little pink tint in his cheeks. Z always made a bad day better.
"It'th awethome to thee you! I mithed you, Thee!" Reese said, leaning forward into his chair to carefully hug around Zyan's waist. Despite the time apart, he was definitely better at missing extra limbs and wings.
The breath against the side of his tail made Reese remember the dragon, which he glanced down at with excitement. "It'th ok, Thee," he said carefully, sitting back to admire Hinder. "He'th jutht cruiouth. All dragonth are..." Reese was reciting from one of his dragon books. He nearly had them all memorized by now.
"Hi there," he finally addressed the dragon, holding out his open palm for the green to inspect. Again, Reese wished he'd known they were going to meet up today. He would have brought a gift for Hinder, too. "My name'th Reethe." His second real encounter with a dragon. Reese wondered how different from Jo-jo this one would be.
Wilbur had shied away from the dragon upon its approach and just generally kept his distance from the scene, watching the girl and her dragon suspiciously. He definitely wasn't sure about having such a large creature near the young boy...but at least Reese was happy and not being a bratt. Maybe there would be some use to the mantis. Maybe she could get Reese to push himself around for once.

Zyan was always a bit thrown off as other gave her hugs, but she liked it from Reese and a few others. She took note of him being careful with her extra legs and wings and smiled because of it. Good boy.
Continuing to stroke his hair in an absent minded sort of way.
"Missed you too sport. We definitely need another sleep over. 'Haps my place next time. It isn't as luxurious as your place but it would be fun." She suggested with a smile.
"Now what brings you to this consumer hell hole?" She asked referring the mall as a hell hole..w.as one way to describe it.
Hinder raised his head as he was addressed, though why the child opened his hand to him he wasn't sure. Was there a shiney there he couldn't see? Moving over the dragon lowered his head to peer at the empty hand with scrutiny. Well...that had been a waste of time. The green gave a snort as Reethe introduced himself.
"Hinder." He replied curtly even though Zyan had already said his name he only thought if proper to respond in kind.
"Boy sit in shiney....Hinder have?" The dragon asked Reese his tail wagging slowly. He considered the metalic object called a wheelchair a very interesting shiney.

Reese beamed and smiled, nodding vigorously...the movement effectively nuzzling his head into Z's abdomen. "I'd like that. It'd be cool to thay at your plathe!" He didn't really understand what she meant by his house being 'luxurious'. Didn't everyone live in big houses with pools under the basketball court in the basement?
He gasped softly as she said 'the H word'. Poppa said only big people were allowed to use special words like that. Reese knew Zyanya was older than him, but he didn't realize she was that much older! Then again, maybe you didn't have to be as old as he thought in order to use Big People Words...
After all, he'd heard plenty of kids around the mall today using them.
"Poppa and Wilbur want me to thtart wearing clotheth," Reese said, his voice hinting of his pout and obvious disagreement with that idea. "Tho Baka-Wilbur brought me here to go thopping."
He looked down at the dragon again, smiling...wanting to pet him, and just hang out with them all day. Which wasn't different, this was Z we're talking about, but now with Hinder, he'd spend all week with them. The seahorse giggled as the dragon asked for his wheelchair, shaking his head before looking up at Z.
"He wanth my wheelchair!" he laughed. "You're thilly, Hinder. I can't move witthout my wheelchair...but maybe you and Thee can come thopping too?" His attention redirected to Wilbur, who was saying his prayers that Zyanya and the beast couldn't come with them.
"Right, Wilbur? They can come too?" He still didn't quite get the fact that his butler and his best friend...despised each other.
"Oh, Young Sir," Wilbur started, slowly moving closer. Yeah. Didn't like the dragon. "I'm sure Miss Z and her...dragon...have other things they need to do today..." Please. Please. Please.

Licking her upper lip she gave Wilbur a cold smile before moving down to kiss Reese on the forehead. She loved to spoil this one. He was by far too cute with his lisp and just general way of talking to her.
"Tut tut I have nothing better to do here." She explained giving a wave to their surroundings she of course had come here in search of a tattoo parlor. She wanted to get a tattoo badly...but couldn't find a place able to pierce her tough like skin.
She looked down to Reese as he complained about having to wear clothes now. She wondered idly why....it wasn't like there was anything to see. Boys were lucky in that sense.
"I suppose it can't be helped. We all must wear clothes from time to time." She said with a flourish of a hand. Her wallet had a chain draping from a belt loop to her back pocket. She played with it out of habit.
Hinder looked a bit annoyed that he was denied the interesting shiney, but he gave a low grow as Wilbur approached. He realized soon enough that Wilbur was apart of Reese...perhaps a man servant...he certainly looked the part. He looked back over to Reese tail wagging.
"Boy ride on Hinder...Hinder carry...Hinder have shiney?" He asked trying to figure out a way that would allow him to have the shiney. The kid stated he needed it to move. But...if he carried him...then he wouldn't need it then would he?
"Hinder don't be stupid. You can't carry Reese.. You have spikes remember?" Zyan said with a dramatic sigh over her dragon's behavoir.
