Pogo LOVED the Fickle Fancy Fabric Front. It was everything that could be fun - fabrics, friendly people, and ALLITERATION! The toddler was fascinated by the racks upon racks of colors, patterns, textures and thickness, and all for her to choose from.
Mommy brought her there once a week to get some fabric squares for her wall. When she'd discovered a love for the different kinds of cloth there were, she'd begged Mommy to let her get some. So each week, here they came, to get her a square of a few different kinds. Not a lot, so the woman wasn't paying much, but enough to cover at least another row of the board.
And being as today was one of the fabric days, Pogo was standing in the middle of a rack, feeling all of the different kinds and examining their patterns with the scrutiny Patton examined a new invention with.

Did you know clothes could be made by hand? Xai hadn't! She thought they were created in a machine like the clothing on Ursontaea! But there she was, watching television with Evari and Nutter on a miraculously peaceful day she hadn't been expecting and was never going to ever complain about or take for granted because it wouldn't happen ever again, when a show about a bunch of amateur fashion designers competing for money aired. They made all their clothes themselves! It was amazing! Now Xai wanted to try it, and Evari had been enthralled by the show as well so the pair actually...agreed to go to the fabric store. They agreed! Without an argument and without kicking and crying and screaming! Today was amazing so far! Even Nutter gnawing on one of her headwings wasn't bothering her, though she did get a little twitchy every now and then. Erf...why was it so obsessed with her head?!
"Can we make a cool dress?" Evari asked excitedly, staring up at Xai with wide eyes and skipping alongside her guardian. Xai had been smiling since before they left, and while her cheeks were beginning to hurt because of it she just couldn't stop smiling!
"We can try!" She answered happily as they entered the store, both girls gasping like children who had just been released in a candy store. Whoooa! It looked just like in the show! "Alright...go find things for your dress, and if you need me just call for me." The store was relatively quiet with some low background music playing, and so if Evari needed her she could easily get Xai's attention. Evari grinned, throwing her arms up in the air.
"YAAAAAAAAY~!" She cheered, running off and flailing her arms. This was going to be awesome! Evari continued to run until something caught her eye.
Something with wings.
Something bright.
...Something awesome.
"Whoooooa!" The glowing girl stopped dead in her tracks to just stare at the rainbow-colored kid by the fabrics. Was that real?!

Pogo looked up and her eyes widened. "HIIIIIIIIIIIII!" she said, staring in awe. OOOOOOOOOH! That person GLOOOOOOOOOOWED!
The fuzzy girl dashed over, wings fluttering as she stared up at Evari. "Wow, you glooooooow!"
Ixxie snorted as she watched her daughter go greet someone, the artist looking slowly through a rack for some items to make herself a new jacket. The woman was a bit odd looking too - not as odd as Xai, Pogo or Evari, but still a little weird. Her hair was short and pink, and she wore only khaki jeans and a tank top. This left her arms visible, with their many intricate sharpie drawings - though a tattooist, Ixxie could never bring herself to make permanent marks on her arms. Her mind changed too often for that.

"Hi!" Evari stayed still as the girl came up to her, grinning proudly and holding her hands out in front of her for the other girl to see. She glowed all over! "Checkit." She then snapped her fingers, creating bursts of shimmering sparks around them. They weren't incredibly loud but they did sound static-y.
But hey! This girl! She was...she was even fuzzy! Whooooa! Evari gasped and touched the first piece of revealed skin...fur...hair...whatever that she could see. Soft! Awesome! "Whooooa!" So cool! "Yer cool." She said with a sage nod, and as if this was the deciding factor in her status with the glowing girl she continued on to say, "I'm Evari!"

"Wooooooooooooooooow! That's cooler than what my sister does!" Pogo said, clapping her hands together wildly and accidentally knocking one of them off. "Oops!"
The tot bent down a second later to grab it back up and reattach it. "Hehehe, that's my power, see? I come apart."
"I'm Pogo!" the tot said with wide eyed admiration. This bigger girl thought she was cool! That was so awesome!

Evari was about to ask what this 'sister' did when suddenly there came a tiny pop and suddenly one of her hands was clattering on the floor. Her eyes widened and she cried out in surprise, jumping back away from the hand and staring at it like she had just seen a crime committed. Holy cow! She fell apart! Oh god! Oh god! She didn't do it this time she really didn't! Ahhhhhh! Someone call the hand doctor! There was a hand on...her...wrist?
...Now that was different.
"You...come apart...?" She blinked. "Does it hurt?"

"Nope!" Pogo proclaimed loudly. "And I don't bleeds! See?" she said, taking her other hand off and showing the fully furred stump. "S'maaaaaaaaaaaaagic. Mommy says it's cause I came from a dooooll."
"What'd you come here to find? I came for swatches!"

"Woooooow!" Okay this wasn't so bad! It didn't hurt, she did it on purpose...nice! "Cool!" Evari blinked and stared dumbly at Pogo when she asked what she came for. Why was she here again? She took a moment to look around at where they were for a moment, making a happy noise when she remembered they were in the middle of a fabric store. She brightened up even more (If that was even possible) and hopped on her toes, squealing delightedly. "Me an'Xai watched a show with fashion peoples! An' it was soooooo cool! So we're gonna make me a dress~!" What were swatches though? That was weird.
Suddenly an idea seemed to come to her, looking Pogo up and down for a moment with a thoughtful little hum. "So's it just yer hands?"

Pogo's wings fluttered wildly at that. "Oooooooh! I've seen that show! It's fun! They make clothes out of all sortsa stuff like plants, right?" the toddler asked in wonder. It was a fuuuuun show!
"Swatches are like lil squares of fabric. I hang them up on my bulletin board." Pogo explained, properly screwing her hand back on.
"What? Oh, no I can take the rest of me apart too." the tot said, unscrewing her head and tossing it like a ball. "Seeee?"

So she knew it! Okay she was bumping her way up the awesome chart. "They do? They were makin' pretty dresses out of...fabric when we watched." How do you make a dress out of plants? Weird! Evari tilted her head and watched Pogo put her hand back on, blinking and looking up when she said there was more she could take off. Annnnd then she removed her head.
"WHOA!" Awesome! That was so cool! She held her hands out, grinning. "Gimmegimmegimme!"

"Sure!" Pogo agreed, handing over her head, which was what was doing the talking, so that had to be kind of odd to hold.
"They were making clothes out of caaaaaaaar parts, and out of stuff from the grocery store and outta caaaaandy." the toddler assured her. Apparently, even with her head detached there was at least still some connection with her body, as her hands kept gesturing.

Evari gasped and took hold of Pogo's head, lifting it above her own as if searching for strings or mirrors. Whoa, she was really holding this girl's head! Awesome! She grinned and held the head so they were face to face. "Can we take y'apart and putcha back together however we want?" She asked with a glint of mischief in her eyes.
At the mention of clothes made of candy Evari gasped. Candy?! Sweet! She blinked and watched the hands keep moving, blinking and just staring. Wow...kinda creepy. But whatever.

"Yeah. I put my hands on wrong all the time." Pogo said with a nod, "You just gotta put me right when you're done."
The girl carefully removed her hands again and held them out with her wrists so Evari could try it. What was the fun in coming apart if you couldn't go together funny? "You can take off my arms too if you like but I can't do it on my own for both arms."

Evari waved a hand and nodded at Pogo's words. Yeah, yeah. She'd fix her if she remembered how to do it. Evari made no promises that she would put her back together right because it was probably inevitable that she would put the left hand on the right arm or the right foot on the left leg by mistake. Purely by mistake.
She laughed and watched Pogo's headless body remove its hands and hold them with her wrists, putting her head down safely on a pile of fabric that had been left on the floor and taking the hands. She put those by Pogo's head and then looked down at her. Her arms could come off? Could her legs do that too? "Soooo...I just...pull it off? D'yer legs come off too?" Evari asked as she carefully pulled the arms off with a little pop. So none of this hurt. Huh! How cool was that! The arms were put down with the rest of Pogo's parts and she awkwardly coaxed the body to sit down, poking at her legs. This looked really, really weird...but it was still fun!

"Yep, at the joints, that's what Mommy says. Feet, knees and thighs only though." Pogo said, watching the older girl play. "Just don't mess up my clothes, k?"
As an afterthought, the toddler decided to add something else in, "My wings come off too but as a set. Don't mess them up."
