Welcome to Gaia! ::

She twirled the keys on her finger before catching them. It didn't take her long to decide who would drive, "Just remember to buckle up." She giggled and hopped into the car, throwing her backpack on the back seat.

"Now... What direction was it in?" She paused for Mau's reaction, "Don't worry, I know where I'm going." She laughed, taking her time to ease out into the desert, then gunning it through the blistering sad. She just wanted to shake Mau up a little, but when the HQ was out of site she slowed to a normal cruising speed. "We should be there in no time!" She anxiously awaited their arrival. It had been so long since she went shopping. She hadn't even had time to go to the department store in Camphoreon. This would be so much fun!

Cal poked out her lips an uttered an inaudible groan. If her father had taught her how to drive, this was probably what it would have been like. "If that happened, you would really need my help." she sneered. It felt as if Mau was teasing her, and she reacted how she would usually act- by teasing back.

Soon the mountains drew closer, staring down at the menacingly. The grass sprouted out of the ground, growing in clusters until the dry desert turned into a grassy plain. "Almost there~" She squealed, rolling down the window to take in the cool, salty breeze.

Cal huffed, defeated by Mau's words. She didn't say much on the remainder of the ride, which wasn't that long. She coasted through the landscape and headed straight for the monstrous department store.

Parking would be hard to find, unless a force much greater than her own watched over her, and felt like helping her. This was to no avail. She drove up and down the rows a few times. "Just kill me now..." She mumbled to herself, watching people leaving and entering.

AH HA! A spot appeared right before her eyes! After ten long minutes of searching, it was graced upon her. She squeezed the car in easy, receiving a few angry shouts from people who were out to get her spot. Those words were easily brushed off. "We're here, if you didn't notice already."

Cal smiled, spinning a pokeball on her finger, "I wanted to visit this place and look around ever since I got to Kodo." She skipped to the entrance ahead of Mau, "But I do need some stuff for training." And other things she wouldn't dare mention in front of Mau, he would just laugh and think there was seriously something wrong with her.

Once they were in, her eyes lit up. She would need an able body pokemon to take the place of Mau to carry her things. With the click of the center button on her pokeball to enlarge it, then another, she released the big blue Feraligatr who scooped her up in his arms. He embraced her in a soft hug, before dangling her off the ground, snickering.

"That's enough, put me down." She patted him on his snout and turned to Mau. "Are you thinking about getting anything?" Tybalt looked down at the man, snickering again, but this time at his arm.

"Nope! This is my first time." She smiled, walking up to the directory with Mau. Tybalt snorted at Mau, "Fer." He flexed a bit as to say that he would have no problem carry bags, unlike him. "Yep, he's just happy to help." Tybalt crossed his arms over his chest smiling wide.

Her face lit up as she searched the directory, "How about we go over here first." The directory was cluttered with clothes stores, but it looked so confusing. At least she would be able to model clothes for Mau while they went through them.

Cal's face flushed with heat, "I don't wear them all the time!" But I do wear them a lot... She huffed and walked a faster to the store. Tybalt remained at a even stride with Mau wondering why he was even here, or what his trainer saw in him.

There were racks upon rack of clothes. Shelves and manikins were displayed the tasteful attire they had in stock. There, she went to work, picking out things that, in her opinion, would never look good on her. She had a sort of complex about her appearance. "Wait right here, I'll be right out." She jetted into the fitting room and soon emerged in a green and white striped V-neck shirt pared with dark shorts.

She emerged from the fitting room, hands place nervously at the bottom of her shorts and face white hot. "S-so, what do you think?"

Cal didn't make eye contact as Mau commented on her clothes. She didn't say anything as she shuffled back into the dressing room, changing into a new pair. This time, she sported a red and black baby doll dress with black tights that had three silver buttons on the bottom. With her, she brought all the other clothes and put them on a nearby chair. "How about this?" She pointed to the pile of clothes, "Or these?"

Tybalt sat back, relaxing. His tail swept the floor ever so often as he watched the two.
