After being dropped off by Andy Fiona's family pestered her for details on what had happened, but she had refused to tell, enjoying the secrets she could now hold without having to tell anyone. Her mom and dad seemed to understand and just smiled, happy to see Fi semi-comfortable with her powers for once. Kris whine and pestered her but eventually stopped after Fi promised to show her some neat stuff once she mastered her powers. Sam had taken the rejection the worst. Ignoring her most of the time, he moved out a few days later without saying anything. So new room for the other children! Being the next oldest in the house Fi for to choose where she wanted her new room. Her chose? Sam's old room, the attic. Which meant more room and the added addition of all her cats from Silver Shane's shop. She loved the kitties to death, but got mild complaints from everyone else in the house. As well as the threat that if they tear up anything they are out of the house for good.
Today Fiona was heading out to the mall. A wondrous place filled with food, merchandise, and people! Bah people! Fi shifted the backpack on her shoulder and heard a faint meow of complaint. Jing poked his head out of the bag giving Fi a sour look and yawned and climbed out onto her head. She sighed inwardly. Jing had been one of the reasons she was out of the house. He had caused another ruckus and she had 'done nothing to stop it'. That and her spiraling grades and unclean room. "Jing why, must you eat my hair?" she asked him, knowing no intelligent answer would be given. The cat stopped for a moment as if to ponder the question before mewing evilly and going back to eating. This was going to be another long day..... "Jing! Get back in the bag! We're almost there and I don't feel like getting caught like last time!" Jing hissed lightly and dug his claws into her head. "OW!" Ripping the cat off her head she swung her backpack off her shoulder and shoved him in. "Now be QUIET!" she hissed at the snarling bag.
Upon arrival at the mall doors Fiona swung the backpack over both shoulders and prayed silently that today wasn't the day that she got caught. Whirr went the doors and ba-bump went the heart..... Nothing happened. Walking quickly past the entrance and into the main area Fiona sent up another prayer, this time of thanks. Quietly she made her way up to the GameStop on the second floor, avoiding making eye contact with anyone and mumbling an occasional sorry to people she bumped into or were 'clipped' by her backpack's 'zipper'.
"Let see...." she said under her breath at one of the game racks. "Anything good today?" She picked up a couple of RPGs for the DS and looked them over for a couple minutes. "Can I help you?" came a voice from behind her. Nearly jumping out of her skin she turned slowly to see one of the store clerks. "No. Just looking." she said smiling nervously. Putting the game back she walked away towards the only other store she visited, the book store. So no new games, but she knew there would be a good book to buy. Besides, books could be more entertaining and portable.
The very first shelf Fi headed towards was the Manga. She was always checking up on updates for her favorite series, or new series to become her faves. Picking up one of the later copes of Fruits Basket she began to thumb through it, reminiscing over when she first started the series. Placing it back on the shelf she began to rummage through others when Jing let out a soft mew. "Be quiet Jing! I'll go to the food court after this." she whispered. Jing let out another mew, squirmed around in the bag and then went quiet.
