[Started the RP on aim, moving it here and continuing here.]
Toby had a bad habit of pocketing more videos than he actually bought. So much that recently, the sales clerk had gotten into the habit of eyeing him suspiciously, shuffling closer towards him every time the Meadowview student even as so put a foot in that store. They never caught him thought it was getting to the point where the teen knew it was time to play it cool.
Pretending not to notice the sales clerk wandering behind him, he nonchalantly walked over towards the rather scant 'horror' section - semi-bare shelves most likely a partial courtesy from him when he wanted to fill up his collection of new-age horror DVDs- and pretending to look at them, flipping them over and deliberately making a good show of analyzing the price tags. After a good thirty minutes of this, the sales clerk, finally bored, had shuffled off. Perfect.
Quickly setting down "ET" - why the hell it was in the horror section he would never know - Toby made a lunge for his ACTUAL 'purchase', the only copy of "Paranormal Activities 2" left. Finally his 2010 horror collection would be complete!
If there was one thing that Toki loves nothing more of, it was movies. Combine a movie.. and something paranormal themed? You had a SURE box office smash in her opinion that the second it went on the shelf, would be hers. A pirated copy of the movie was never enough to her... in her opinion? Buying a movie showed it was popular... it also showed the higher ups peole LOVE this sort of thing and they would be encorages to make more in this genere.
Her current attack list? Paranormal activty 2 came out a little over a week ago. She was not stupid enough to brave the first week crowd of a new movie.... being slightly introverted she knew better than to try. She was already next to the section.. slinking her way over she was JUST about to grab the last copy when... "EXCUSE you?" She snarled, grabbing for the same video as a arm shot right past her with the same target.
Oh god did how the heck did the sales clerk get here so fast? Did they have teleporting abilities? Like a deer caught in the headlights, he guiltily turned around.
"Crap! I mean- uh- wait! I was just looking I promis-" His word got cut off in mid-sentence as he realised it was just some peevish looking girl staring back without a 'Hi my name is __' tag. Oh another customer. Like him. For a split second, one hand still on the DVD, he debated whether or not it was worth it to put up a fight. Her rather snippy attitude made him conclude a resounding yes.
He tried to play himself the victim, curling his fingers around the DVD with one hand raised defensively. "Hey look, I saw it first okay, I grabbed for it fair and square. There are plenty of other videos to look at, I mean why would girls like you even like this sort of stuff?"
Eyes narrowed, she clamped her jaws together to stop herself from growling back at the boy. This was HER DVD. She was RIGHT next to it before he was! He was the stupid little kid whom thought its polite to dive past her to reach for a DVD she clearly had her hand on first! Tokis eyes were filled with (pink?) flames as she stared down the white haired boy. She was not giving up the DVD she had waited MONTHS for without a fight. "Oh so because im a girl i should be watching my little pony? I guess that means as a boy you should be watching barbie and Twilight, taking hints from Ken and Edward huh?" She kept her hand that was also on the dvd firm, and jerked it back trying to grab it away.

Totally caught of guard, he lurched forward hand also still firmly grasped onto the DVD. If it weren't for his somewhat feasible sense of balance, the entire Horror section of DVDs would have merged with the Fantasy pile behind it. Somehow, in an amazing stroke of luck, he had managed to do this without letting go of the DVD.
Angrily, he tried to yank back, nevermind that this girl was actually slightly taller than him. With months of practiced Negaverse training - well more like slacking off - he tried to muster his best Angry Glare. It probably just looked like he was squinting really hard. "Wait what the heck does barbie have to do with this all?" He really wasn't following the conversation, and simply just proceeded to glare harder. Squint squint. And then paused.
"Wait, who's Edward?" Granted, Toby's limited knowledge of barbie and friends made this a one-sided conversation, but the relevance was absolutely confusing him.

She didnt budge, keeping a firm death grip on the the movie case she DID move forward a little, but nothing substantial. "It has everything to do with you just said i cannot watch certain things due to being female. So as a male i guess its right to say you look up to other male figured whom are..... i guess you can say, better than you?" She snarked. She was personally not a huge fan of edward cullen... but he was fun to toss into conversations now and then for the 'shock' factor. It seemed to have gone over this ones head though.
She looked down at the 'glares'.... squints? And replied with her own decently trained negaverse snarl. "Edward is your god lord and master, he beckons you to let go of this film and go watch his movie pronto or fear his mighty sparkly wrath." She said this with a totally straight face, ANYTHING to get him to let go of her movie. Even subjecting him to twilight. "Its right over there." With a freehand, she pointed to the "T" section.

His facial expressions were something akin to: bewilderment, confusion, and finally a dawning understanding. Ahhh.. this girl was one of those species, they were called goths or something right? Edward was probably her fancy way of saying 'Satan' or something. It all made sense now, as to why she wanted to watch horror movies.
He smirked when she pointed as if to distract him. "Nice try, I'm not falling for that. I don't care if Edward is your lord and master, unless he specifically smites me from the sky, I am not letting go, so find your own grubby DVD, I see right through you."

"Hhhmmm but see Edward only allows his followers to be little short little boys with white hair, and" She looked around. "BEING as your the only candidate..." She tugged a little harder this time while in her mind she started to think about how EASY it would have been to take this kids starseed... and have her movie. Though her rational mind told her that it would be stupid to leave a corpse in the middle of the isle, even if it was the horror section.
"Dont you know its not polite to stare at a womans boobs?" She glared back at the 'see right through you' comment. "That gets you restraining orders and b***h slaps." Worse part? She was a few inches taller so he had a better chance at looking there than anything else.

"Oh god what. I've seen billboards with nicer chests than you."
It took him just a bit longer to realise he had actually spoken that part out loud. Well, to be fair she HAD called him short, it wasn't really his fault if she was a tall, obnoxious and flat monster of a girl - err goth. Unabashed, he attempted to wriggle the dvd out of her hand. "Ha, b***h slaps, how appropriate, coming from you."
Compared to a senshi, this behemoth of a girl was nothing right? They were probably attracting a rather large crowd now - was that the sales clerk coming up to them with a strange look? - and a part of him was feeling just a little self-conscious. The other part screamed 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING IDIOT JUST ESCAPE AND RUN AWAY.'

"And ive seen taller, thinner, and sharper, toothpicks being dug in someones teeth." She snipped back, if he wanted to turn this into a mud slinging contest... BRING it. In her above statement she not only called him a shrimp, but also fat and dull.
"Proud of it, sunshine." She growled and pulled the final yank so the DVD box was now in her arms. Just to add insult to injury, and to pay him back for being such a little snot face, she backhanded him with the DVD case.
"Everythings fine!" She said putting her 'im a innocent girl' voice on for the clerk. "Just discussing movies and how i was buying THIS one!" She held the case up and waved it around.

If the burning sensation in his hands didn't clue him in, the wet slap of something rather large and cardboard to the face sure did. He stood there, stunned, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water as he watched the girl skip over to purchase the DVD as if nothing had happened.
Did what he think happened just happen? Yes, yes it apparently did. Toby watched in slow-motion dismay as the sales clerk finalised the purchase and 'bagged' the good, the stinging in his pride and cheek still burning even a good whiles after.
God was this what they meant when they said 'add insult to injury'? Slinking off like a defeated dog, he made his own exit from the store, grumbling enough profanities underneath his breath to make the old lady passing by him stare around and give him a 'tsk-tsk'
