04. Disturbing Behavior

Klaus and Stefan sat in the waiting room of a boutique, drinking champagne and waiting for Lily and Rebekah to be done with their shopping.

"There has to be more to this dress" Rebekah complained, from inside the dressing room.

"There's not" Klaus informed.

Rebekah stepped out of the dressing room, wearing a short black dress, "So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then?".

"No, only prostitutes dress like prostitutes" Lily said, also stepping out of the dressing and walking over to the mirror to look at herself, "What you're wearing is called 21st century fashion".

Klaus looked at Lily and suddenly he froze, Lily was wearing an off the shoulder dark green dress, that was tight on her waist but flowed down her legs and stopped at her ankles, and with her brown hair open and wavey, Klaus couldn't help but think that she looked extremely breath taking.

"You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers" Rebekah complained.

"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing" Klaus retorted, his eyes still on Lily, who looked at him through the mirror and raised an eyebrow, "Some women, not all" he corrected.

"Better" Lily said, smoothing her dress in the mirror, she then looked at her best friend, "So?".

"If you like it, I like it" Stefan simply said.

"That does not help my dilemma of whether I should buy this dress or not, especially considering I'm not a dress person" Lily said, looking at herself back in the mirror.

"If you're not a dress person, why do you want to buy one?" a confused Rebekah asked.

"Because your brother told me whatever I buy he will pay for, so I decided to buy the most expensive thing here, which happened to be this" Lily replied, making both Stefan and Rebekah chuckle, while an amused Klaus simply shook his head.

"I like her" Rebekah told Klaus, "Now tell me, what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident".

"It's dance music" Stefan informed.

"People dance to this?" a disgusted Rebekah asked.

"Hm" Stefan confirmed.

"Are we done?" Klaus asked his sister.

"And why are you so grumpy?" a confused Rebekah asked.

"Isn't he always grumpy?" Lily asked.

"That is true" Rebekah realised, "But today he's extra grumpy".

"I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids were dying" Klaus said, "One thing, your necklace, and you lost it".

"I didn't lose it, it's just been missing for ninety years" Rebekah defended, she then looked at Stefan, "So, what do you think?".

Stefan shrugged, "I like it", making Rebekah give him a look, "What? I said I like it".

"I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan" Rebekah said, walking back into the dressing room to try out more clothes.
