Miss Fortune

Chapter 3: Star Shade

Sylvie smiled as the two continued to explore the city of Star Shade. "What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?" Jason said as he looked at the female in front of him and Sylvie nodded. All of this was in their small town? This had to be at least five times the size of the park that they were in, it might even be bigger than the town itself!

"Wait a minute," Sylvie said as she looked at her skin and then at the giant orb in the sky. "Why doesn't it hurt to be in the sun?" Sylvie asked as she looked at the orb, and while it was a bit straining on the eyes, it didn't hurt nearly as much as looking at the actual sun would have.

"Well that's because it's not sunlight," Jason said as he looked at the female next to him causing Sylvie to look at him a bit confused. "It's moonlight, just amplified a bit so it's not as dark," Jason said with a smile as he looked at the female in front of him. Sylvie nodded hearing this and looked around. It made sense for them to have moonlight since she knew that several monsters had a strange weakness to sunlight for some reason.

However, she couldn't think of a single monster that was weak to moonlight. "So what do you want to do first? They got like tons of different things to do here. My favorite is swimming, then again I'm a water dragon so that's probably a biased statement," Jason said as he looked at her. Sylvie then shook her head hearing this and looked at the male.

"No that's fine, it'll give me a chance to learn some of the layouts, so let's go swimming," Sylvie said as she looked at the male in front of her. Jason nodded hearing this and turned so that they could start to walk down the streets together. The two eventually arrived at a large pool, however, Sylvie noticed something rather strange about it. Unlike most pools she had gone to, it didn't smell like chlorine but instead smelled like the ocean.

Jason smiled and walked over to a small stand. "One please," Jason said as he reached into his back pocket to pull out his wallet.

"What size?" The male asked looking at him.

"Medium," Jason said as he looked at the male causing him to nod. Before the male had the chance to respond Jason placed the money in front of him showing that he had clearly done this before.

"See any that you like?" The male asked as he turned to the side so Jason could get a better look of what was around.

"Do you still have a pair with the whales, and sharks on them?" Jason asked as he looked at the male in front of him causing the male to nod.

"Yes but they're in the back," The male said as he looked at Jason.

"Great! Then can I get on of those?" Jason asked as he looked at the male in front of him. The male nodded and disappeared from sight. As he did Sylvie walked up to the male.

"You're buying a pair of swimming trunks?" Sylvie asked as she looked at the male causing him to nod.

"Yeah, I've got a lot at the house, but I wasn't exactly planning on stopping here on the way home. It was just sort of something I did without thinking," Jason said as he looked at the female in front of him. Sylvie nodded hearing this and looked at the male in front of him. The male then returned a moment later with the shorts that Jason had requested.

"Yes," Jason said happily as he made his way towards one of the changing rooms. Sylvie then looked at the male in front of him.

"What sizes do you have?" Sylvie asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"We've got everything from a size zero up to thirty-two," The male said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"Can I have a look around?" Sylvie asked as she looked at the male in front of her and he nodded. He then lifted the small board that formed the top part of the counter he was at and then opened a small door that formed the lower part and stepped to the side so that Sylvie could step into the building. Sylvie took a few minutes looking for an outfit however after some time she settled for a lovely purple outfit.
