[ of course, as it turns out, the one thing that she's forgotten to mention to lyssa was the fact that she didn't really have a convenient method of transportation. all she'd asked for the location & time, thinking that would have been enough. of course it hadn't been.

... oh well.

hooking her small messenger bag-slash-purse on her shoulder, she bids her dad goodbye after reassuring him that she'll be back by ten (yes, yes, don't worry, just the mall--). & promptly feels glad that she left two hours before the time she's supposed to meet lyssa 'cause she just missed the bus & the next one won't be arriving for another half-hour. she settles down, pews & waits. long story short (after she subtracts the bus ride & all the weird things her hair is doing in the humidity), she manages to get to the mall in once piece: none of her organs are missing, her dress isn't ripped up, & no one had shoved her head down a toilet. day's pretty good so far (where's wood to knock on when she needed some?). 'cept the fact that she's probably a few minutes late, but--

... oh well.

she'll apologize to lyssa as soon as she can find him. ]

It misplaced itself. [ it does that sometimes. it was a moody thing. ]

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should keep it on a leash from now on.

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

I couldn't do that to my dreidel. We're friends, not master and pet.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

You can call it a 'friendship chain' instead!

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ that's... a good idea. ]

Made out of beads?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

And a pretty ribbon. Maybe olive or forest green... hmm...

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

Want to have a three-way meeting when I find it?

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a fabulous idea. We'll have a celebration for it and everything!

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ raises her free hand. ]

I'll bring the refreshments.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

As long as you make sure that the juice boxes are 100% real fruit.

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ lightly bumps the side of his head with hers in an affectionate gesture, peering around again when their next destination comes to mind. ]

So where are these magical ponies that you absolutely must have?

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ points to the mall map in the near distance. ]

We can ask that.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ jabs a finger towards said map, as if they're going on some magical journey. ]

Onward, then, my poofy friend!

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ gives him a little nudge. ]

Lead us, oh great prince.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ does as he's told, but blinks down at her anyway. ]

You think I'm a prince?

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ ...? why's lyssa so surprised? his dad was obviously some kind of tyrant king & his mother was the beautiful fairy queen. that made lyssa a prince, right? not to mention-- ]

That's what everyone calls you.

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe, but you're not grouped with them. You're my favorite, so you should probably call me something else.

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ oh.

okay.

then there's just the thing: ] Stable boy. [ her ponies' favourite person. ]

1/2

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Stable boy? [ thinks. repeats underneath his breath: ] Stable boy...

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ nods when he deems it appropriate enough, beaming down at her. ]

Suits me just fine. Very well, then, I am your mighty stable boy!

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ he likes it! that's good.

when they get to the map, she peers down at it. quickly locating the store in question, she taps it with a finger. ]

Course is charted. [ further onward? ]

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

[ does his own share of looking, nodding at her unspoken words. ]

Let's go get those ponies!

[ turns them in the right direction, happily sipping at his bubbletea as they waddle onward. ]

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ almost sipping at hers non-stop as they proceed forward. ]

I wonder how many. . . [ that she doesn't have, can afford, take home. ]

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Mm I'm not sure, Amanda. Your pony collection is already quite... [ excessive, the largest i've ever seen--. ] ... extensive.
