 Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ "She does have some nice shoes in her line, although I absolutly love my Christian Louboutin's. I wear them whenever possible! And thank you, I picked it up while away from the Island the past summer. I had a bit of a shopping spree and probably bought too much but it was such fun so it was worth it." As he introduced the two of them, Amanda realized that although Vlad was polite he wasn't very talkative. "Um yes that's all, thank you." Sending a cheerful smile his way, Amanda picked up the items that had been ringed up and moved out of the way of the woman behind her. She wanted to continue talking to Dante about shopping but the store had gotten more so busy in the time she had been there. Getting her change she put it away in her purse and put her purchases in as well.

 Now, one might wonder just why was Reed the first one to enter the General Store if it was Turner giving the tour. No, he wasn't holding the door or anything silly like that. Reed wasn't a female, he had no reason to hold the door for him. No, the reason as to why he was behind the writer was becuase he was busying himself into scouting! Scouting for Karen a girl, of course! He knew that they would meet a good bachelorette here and Reed needed one! A Not cross dressing one, of course. Maybe if they were living on circus grounds and Dante was called Julius, he would conciser it, but it wasn't the case, so Dante was no available and no good girl was close. He would just need to wait a bit until Karen a girl came to the store because that's where Karen could always be found.
"And this is 'em general store. Ya'll buy your food and suppliece 'ere, unless ya get them directly from 'em farms of course, which ya'll should do if ya ask me." Fresh food was so much better to eat! Not that the food at the general store wasn't Fresh since they were all daily products from the various farms on the island, but that didn't mean that Turner wouldn't make a small advertisement for his farm, of course. "It is own by a twins, pretty infamous pair, if ya ask me, but like Mamma always said, it doesn't mater what the hen looks like as long as she keeps giving you daily egg." That wasn't where the saying stopped, but since it would have went about cutting the hen's neck with poppa's axe the moment she stopped, Turner felt like it was better to leave that part out.

Reed nodded his head to the man who greeted them. The store really was impressive the more he looked at it. He could have sworn a farm town like this would have had a more... Old fashioned store. Yet, this place seemed to have everything the stores back in the city did. When Turner began to speak, Reed turned his attention back onto him. He had already figured out what the general store was for, but the comment about the farm did intrigue him. Though he wasn't much of a gourmet so fresher vegetables wouldn't have been that much more useful. However, it was nice to know. Reed slightly ignored the comment about the twins. He had already figured out that him and Turner's judge in people was a little bit different, so he wasn't going to judge anyone just yet. So he decided to focus on the second part of Turner's comment, "Your mother was quite a knowledgeable women wasn't she?"

-Camelia Grey-
Stocking up some new arrivals was Camelia. The store had gotten lively in just a few minutes and while Dante took care of blondie, Cam turned her gaze to the duo that came in. Hm, well Dante was busy... She finished up stocking what she had at the moment, then moving past the two to place the basket she was using in it's place for other customers to use. "If you need anything don't hesitate to speak up" commented the brunette at them. "I'm Camelia by the way."

Was his mamma knowledgeable? Of course she was! She was the wisest woman in all the land of turnips! It was a silly question to even ask! Oh, Silly Reed, he should have known better. After all, anyone moving to the island should have studied a bit of it's history and would have learned how his mamma once talked a bear into leaving a picnic basket where it was! That ha been a major event that year. Oh, he had so many found memories of his childhood. Just like how he used to enter Talna's room everyday at 8am (after waiting over 40minutes in front of her door, waiting for it to be unlocked) to throw turnips at her until she had finally accepted to marry him! Oh, courting woman back then was so much more fun than now. "Oh, that she was! A shama ya'll never met her, Goddess have her soul. She passed almost a decade ago during childbirth. After fourty seven children, it was to be expected.." The doctor had said, no more than forty four! But did mamma listen? Nope, she did not. Making children was a woman job and she'd do it until she died!
It was then that Karen Camellia approached them. Oh, just look at her! Young, pretty, surly to be a little on the wild side, working at the store... a perfect bachelorette for Reed! "Nice to meet ya, Camellia! Named after a flower! Quite pretty! This is Reed. He's new to our lil' town. Giving him a tour, ya see?" Maybe she would give him a freebe? That's what people at shops did usually when they met new people, didn't they? But they wouldn't give him a bag of turnip seeds, because Turner had already done that... maybe they could give him a brush for his horse! Did Reed even had a horse... They could give him a foal!

Reed would have replied to Turner's comment about his mother. He wasn't much for condolences, he really just wanted to comment on the whole children thing. Forty-seven? Really? The man could barely handle one, that would have had to been a super woman. But before Reed could finish those thoughts when a young woman came up to the two. Turner must have planned this as well... He would have his introduced himself, but his companion seemed to have it cover. He certainly had a way with a words didn't he? The type of guy any bachelorette woman would fall for after seasons of talking. Reed sighed with his index finger and thumb rubbing his brows. Somehow he felt that spending time with Turner was starting to effect him. He looked at Cam and put on a smile, "It's nice to meet you." For whatever reason he had decided to put his acquaintance motives aside for the rest of the tour. "This town's certainly got some unique features," Reed was happy to just be shown around and meet people, and he was going to leave it at that.

_____________She smiled when the pretty blond finished checking out and stepped aside for her to place her items on the counter. She looked up at the dark haired person and nodded at his question with a, 'Yes, thank you'. Another customer had come in but she hadn't bothered to turn around and see whom the person may be. Even if the temptation was killing her. Arwen watched as the items were placed in bags and a total was given. She then moved about so that she could move the sack that was hanging by her side to the front of her. It was a dark color, the same as her kimono so it bended in a little. After a moment or so, she placed the currency on the counter and then grabbed the bags containing her purchases.
"Thank you kindly," she said with another polite smile and turned away.
Arwen looked up to see the sweet looking Camelia, as she overheard her introducing herself, and two men. One named Reed and the other she didn't know. . The woman walked to the front of the store and bowed her head in respect to the men as she past them.
-Exit Arwen-

"Now thats over. So okay where were we?" Dante said as he hopped over the counter only to sit on it and cross one leg over the other. He looked to Amanda as he flexed his feet calling slight attention to his heels. "Christian Louboutins. I have a few of those upstairs, they are beautiful arent they? You know if you like shopping so much we should go on a shopping spree one day. Im not sure it there's really that many places on the island to shop but it would be fun nonetheless." Dante said cheerfully. Camelia was handling the men, and so Dante was left to chit chat with the blonde woman until another customer came in.

Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ Smiling as Dante hopped over the counter Amanda put her purse on the counter to just sit and leaned against it arching her back some drawing attention to her backside and long legs. The girl knew how to attract attention when she wanted it. "They really are beautiful shoes. A pretty penny but the absolute best. I think that sounds like a fantastic idea. And if we can't find much on the Island we can always shop online or depending the designer I can call the fashion houses in Paris and order immediatly." Smiling she curled a piece of hair around her finger and twirled it. "Sometimes it's more fun looking online or in magazines because you see more variety. Maybe that's just me though."

"Oh! That sounds awesome! Oh! I know one better!" Dante said as he hopped down from the counter and gently grabbed Amanda by the shoulders. He wore excitement on his face and his hazel eyes couldnt get any wider, nor could his smile get any broader. " We should do a sleep over sweetie! OH! I can call Kade and we can all shop online or look through magazines at things we want! Ooooo that would be so sweet!" Dante released her and giggled as he hopped up and down. Something a lanky talk thing like himself, in heels, shouldnt do. "And we can load up on sugar and ice cream. Oh oh! And do eachothers hair, and makeup and play dress up! And stay up all night watching Americas next top model OR watch a fashion show! And talk about boys!" Dante squealed in delight as he took Amanada's hands and squeezed them like a little giddy school girl.

A foal? Oh no... That would be-They didn't have foal here... No they didn't. She stocked the inventory, so she should know. "Ah, yes. It does" agreed the brunette with a nod. "The owners of the store are some of those. In a good way though, they're... pretty interesting." Indeed they were. Hopefully Reed, or Turner though she doubted it, would be put off by Dante wearing a corset and heels... yeah good luck with that one.

What? No gifts? Well, that was too bad. Turner would take note not to come to the general store too often when giving island tours then. It couldn't be helped that the people working there weren't very generous! Oh well, it was still an important place in town... He would just point it out from outside from now on. "Look at you two! Talking like if you were long lost friends! What about a date between you two? Yes! I say you should go on a date on day." Who knew, maybe Reed was into that kind of woman. He had no idea what he liked in a woman, which was why he was making sure to find as much different type as he could! Now that he was done with the Karen Camellia and the General Store, it was time to move on to something else; like the church. "Well, if you're ever interested Reed, you know where to find Camellia from now on! Haha! Now let us go. Next stop is the oldest (standing) building on the Island." Without waiting a moment more, Turner grabbed Reed by the arm ad pulled him out of the store. He couldn't let the man flirt with the employee during her working hours, afterall.
//Exit to the Church.

Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ Amanda smiled as Dante gently shook her in his enthusiasm. "That sounds like such a fantastic idea! I would have to just run it by the boyfriend sohe knows to steer clear of all the shopping. He might kill me if I go buy more shoes for him to carry up the stairs." Laughing at the face Tate would make when boxes came in the mail containing new clothes Amanda decided she definatly needed to buy something. Amanda sqeezed Dante's hands back and smiled brightly. "You let me know when you have some time to do this and you get in touch with Kade and I'll grab Celeste. It will be a fantastic night!"

Dante nodded eagerly and produced a card for Amanda. "Here give me a call sweetie. Im free anytime. So dont worry about time constraints. Ill have to work something out with Kade though, i know he's been busy with Junior and Walter when the Brit isnt working." Dante said gently to her. " Take care though and ill be seeing you soon i hope? I cant wait to shop! I love it so much." Dante giggled. ((She can exit if you want and end the day?))

Amanda • Hope • O'Conner ♥ Amanda's blackberry buzzed in her pocket as she and Kade finished talking. Smiling she took his card and fished in her bag for one that all her contact stuff on it. It was a cheerful card with a large sunflower on the left hand side. Tucking his card into her well loved Fossil wallet she made sure she had her purchases and made sure she had everything ready to go. Giving Dante a small hug and a kiss on the cheek Amanda smiled and wiggled her fingers in a goodbye. "You take care too dear, and I really hope soon! I'm looking forward to it." Smiling she ducked outside and multitasked texting Tate back and deciding which direction to head. Towards the Grindhouse and visit him or home? Home. I can play with the puppy for a while and figure out when I can go talk to Celeste and catch her up with everything! Cheerfully Amanda made her way back towards the seaside home she and Tate shared ~
