"Glass?!" For that one word Scheelite's voiced seemed to raise a few octaves, making him sound rather squeaky. If it wasn't for how scared he seemed to be, it probably would have been hilarious.
...Actually it was still pretty hilarious.
"I'm uh..f-fine! Never been better. I totally do this all the time, really! Mmmm, glowstick. So delicious." Still, he fidgeted around and lifted a hand to his neck, fingers unconsciously tracing the large scar there.
Oh s**t oh s**t oh s**t oh s**t.
"I er...s-should probably drink something not a glowstick though. To uh..help wash it down! Yeah!"

Andromeda squeaked and tightened her grasp around the glowstick as Scheelite screeched about the glass, biting down nervously on her lip for a moment. She couldn't blame him for being afraid of swallowing the glass; glass was dangerous when in pieces! She felt a little bad for bringing up the glass thing now, watching the way he touched the scar on his neck. Was it a source of comfort? No, couldn't be. It had to be something else.
She hooked the glowstick onto her ribbon again and stepped closer to Scheelite, giving a small nod to his suggestion that he maybe drink something. That sounded like a good idea. A quick look around told her there was a convenience store nearby. She grinned and turned back to Scheelite, pointing back at it. "Check it out! A very conveniently place convenience store!" Badum tish! Comedy gold! And the crowd goes wiiiiild~!
Shut up. She was a comical genius.
But how were they going to do this? They couldn't just walk into the store as they were! Andromeda suddenly frowned and pressed her fingers to her lips, looking down at herself, then at Scheelite, then toward the store. "We couldn't just walk in as we are, could we? The people in there might not like it.." But she wasn't foolish enough to just power down in front of Scheelite and allow him to know her identity! She'd been warned to never let that happen, and some kind of instinct deep down told her to keep that in mind and listen to the advice.

Scheelite probably would have giggled at the convenience store crack if he wasn't currently imagining glass jutting out of his throat. Alas, maybe he'd look back on this moment when he was calmer and laugh then! You really -are- a comical genius Andromeda.
"Well it's not like we can just...waltz in in our normal forms either! I don't want the Senshi knowing who I am, no offense to you guys but you might crash in on me at my super awesome job or something and that would not be cool! Well...okay I DO want you guys knowing me as Scheelite, juuussst not my normal self kay?"
This, however, didn't solve their problem on how to enter the convenience store. Scheelite took a moment to reflect on just how much it sucked sometimes to be a super powered warrior. Seriously! An army captain afraid to enter a convenience store with his skirted enemy just to get something to drink? This stuff was crazy, and just a little bit stupid, and why was this even an ISSUE?
...Wait.
Scheelite's eyes lit with a plan as he turned back to Andromeda.
"Look. Let's just..walk in. They can't feel us, ya know? And if they ask us anything weird about being a Senshi or Negaverser than we just tell them we're going to a costume party. It's a PERFECT plan!"

Scheelite made a good point. He wasn't going to trust her with that and she wasn't going to trust him either. She frowned. "And I don't want the Negaverse knowing who I am either." She'd been warned against that, and she knew better than to go against a warning. Well...a warning like that, anyway. She'd been warned about the Negaverse being a band of monsters as well, and so far they were anything but monsters. Andromeda played nervously with a strip of her own hair, trying to think of a way they could go in there without causing a scene. There had to be some kind of way..
Andromeda looked from the convenience store to Scheelite again as he seemed to come up with some kind of idea, giving him an "are you serious?!" look when he said to just walk in. But they couldn't! Oh...ohhhh! "I get it...that could work! You're dressed pretty funny, they'd believe it." Andromeda grinned putting her hands on her hips. "If we're going to do that though we should go all out. We needs names...because Scheelite is a weird name." Sorry, but it was! No one named their child 'scheelite' no matter how strange they were. Andromeda was easy enough to figure out, at least! "If you need to address me, my name will be Andy. Okay? But what should we call youuuuu.." Andromeda hummed thoughtfully as she held her chin between her thumb and index finger, looking Scheelite up and down. He needed a name. A normal name!

"My name ISN'T weird and I'm not dressed funny! This is my uniform thank you, and it's -awesome-. AND AND AND Scheelite happens to be the name of this awesome mineral that glows in the dark, so I think it suits me just fine. Hrmph!"
The captain crossed his arms and gave a loud huff, very reminiscent of a child having a temper tantrum. 'Child' probably described Scheelite pretty well overall anyway.
"Why do we need fake names? If they ask who we are we just tell them Andromeda and Scheelite....they'll just think we're in character, ya know? I bet they don't think anything of it! Cmon man, I totally went to a convention once in my uniform and no one noticed."
Well...Uranophane noticed. But Andromeda didn't need to know about that.

Andromeda was not inclined to agree but whatever! His opinion was his, he could have it. Freedom of speech, first amendment and all that. As Scheelite pouted like a child Andromeda blinked, huffing as well and leaning forward a bit with her hands still placed firmly on her hips. "It'd be FUN! Don't say you don't think it'd be fun to pretend to be someone else! A-and...and that's a convention! Doesn't everyone cosplay at those things anyway?!" Not that Andromeda had been to one. She was actually kind of jealous of Scheelite for going to a convention! She wanted to go to one toooooo!
"Fine. If you don't wanna make up fake names we'll just go." She said with a small 'hmph!' accompanying her words, turning on her heel and...promptly falling over. She'd lost her balance on that heel, naturally. The girl squawked, flailed her arms and stumbled to catch her balance, stepping on one of the ends of her ribbon and sending herself into a nearby wall in her desperate attempt to stay standing. She groaned a little and pushed off the wall, rubbing at her arm and shoulder with a tiny hiss of pain. Owwwww. Andromeda was now going to pretend that never happened, walking with her hands on her hips again and her nose upturned toward the sky as she crossed the quiet street to the convenience store. Hmph! Stupid heels. She was going to come out of this with as much dignity as she could save.

Oh, but it DID happen, and Scheelite totally saw it. Where he had been worried sick a moment ago, now a rather large grin had crossed his face as he moved to follow her.
"Problems walking, hrm? Here you're all worried about me and picking out a fake name, and you can't seem to walk in your very real heels. Silly Senshi, don't they give you a manual to those things?'
He was joking, at least, and the laughter had seemed to take the edge off the extreme panic that glowstick consumption had brought around. This was a plus! ...At poor Andromeda's expense. Oh well!
Grin still spread across his face, the captain followed her fearlessly into the store. Hrmph, they could do this easy! In, get a drink, out. No big deal, right? Not for an awesome Captain like himself!
...and his senshi companion, of course.

No. It didn't happen. Scheelite saw nothing! Nothing at all! It was all his imagination! Andromeda blushed and tried to brush off Scheelite's question about her heels, still rather embarrassed that she did such a stupid thing in front of someone let alone a Negaverse Captain. "Of course, but who actually reads manuals, am I right? I also skipped the chapter that combines heels with long ribbons." She replied, flipping one end of the ribbon his way before entering the store with about as much confidence as a girl who had just fallen and was now just...waltzing into a store as a senshi could have! She was totally awesome.
Of course the store clerk and a couple of the patrons gave them odd looks, whispering things to each other as they tried to figure out why they were dressed so oddly. Were they terrorists? Cosplayers? Or just teenagers with a really strange sense of style? Andromeda mostly ignored them, though whenever one caught her eye she did give them a cheerful smile and a wave as she headed back toward where the drinks were kept.
"What're you going to get?" She looked back toward Scheelite, gesturing to the wall of refrigeration units filled with rows and rows of beverages. What was appropriate for washing down glowstick?

Scheelite had followed along, offering the patrons his own cocky smirk as he headed towards the back with Andromeda. Right, no reason to be alarmed! It was just your usual oddly dressed duo and in no way shape or form terrorists all up in the convenience store. What a silly thought! They meant no harm!
He just wanted something to drink, that was all!
Once there the boy eyed the long row of drinks. Erk...there were so many choices! What would be good to wash down glowstick? Rockstar was his favorite drink, but Scheelite was at least fairly positive that it wouldn't assist in this matter. It was a miracle drink, but not -that- miraculous.
Milk was also considered a pretty healthy drink, and while health wasn't usually top among his concerns he did enjoy chocolate milk...
"I'm gonna get this!"
He dug around in a freezer a moment, pulling out a nice cold chocolate milk and grinning at her. That was when it hit him. He had money!...but his wallet was in his other pants, and there was no way he was going to power down to retrieve money from his civilian clothes!
s**t. Finally a worried look crossed the boy's features and he stared helplessly at his Senshi companion.
"err...."

Andromeda tried to pay everyone in the store no mind, doing her best to ignore the whispers and looks they were getting. But it was getting hard when some of them spoke of being bold enough to go up and ask them why they were dressed this way. Andromeda couldn't bring herself to lie! But she had to! She just had to! Costume party. Costume party. Costume party. The girl chanted this in her head over and over so she wouldn't forget their excuse for being here dressed this way. What did one even drink after having a glowstick? Probably not a soda or anything with acid and stuff in it. That sounded like a horrible idea. How dangerous could that end up being?!
She blinked as he chose a chocolate milk, grinning and giving the blonde a thumbs up. "Good choice!" Andromeda folded her arms behind her head and rocked carefully from heel to toe, unaware of his worries about money at first. It didn't occur to her that they would need to pay for this. She knew things didn't just come free, but it had slipped her mind that neither one of them had their wallets right this second. She watched as Scheelite suddenly looked very worried, her brow furrowing with concern. Lactose intolerant? No, he wouldn't have chosen the milk then. Was..oh no! Was he feeling okay?!
"A..are you sick? You're okay, right? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Her arms dropped, one hand resting against her chest and the other kept by her side. Maybe making him drink the glowstick hadn't been such a good idea. But no! She didn't make him! He could have easily said 'no this is a bad idea'. Negaverse or not, Andromeda would feel so bad if she made him sick.
