And so, they all brought bags of things they'd squealed over...
"Hehe! I never knew so many cool shops would all be so close together! This is sooo funnn!" Luna went on with a few bags in her hands.
"Aaaand that's half our life savings gone...." Echo muttered, trying not to admit she regretted steal- buying... *clears throat* buying the ruby sword.
"I regret nothing," Eclipse grinned with a bag full of things that would instantly frame her as a murderer.
"CAUSE IT WASN'T YOUR MONEY!!" Echo argued, demon form manifesting for a split second.
"Some of it was my money," Eclipse counter-argued.
"You didn't have to get me the necklace, Luna...." Yurio mentioned shyly.
"But it was perfect for youuuu!" Luna fangirled.
"Did you get anything, Yurio?" Echo asked, turning to him.
"Er! N-no... nothing really," Yurio replied, seeming a little flustered, quickly shoving his hands in his pockets.
"You wanna know what I got?" Aki offered, dragging out the 'I'.
"If I wanted to know, I would have asked," Echo grumbled with narrow eyes.
"I GOT KAWAII CAT EARS!! THEY'RE NEKO NEKO AMAZING!!" Galaxy called, pulling out fluffy black ears with small bells and pink ribbons on either side.
"I DIDN'T ASK!!" Echo hissed.
"What did you get then, Echo?" Yurio wondered.
"A sword......." Echo mumbled.
"...... they let you buy a sword?" he questioned with suspicion.
"No......." Echo replied quietly, looking to the side.
.......
"I also got materials for new clothes!" she beamed loudly.
"That's... great..." Yurio replied.
"Oh! Does that mean you'll finally make me my own maid's outfit? The one work lent me is so not my style," Eclipse complained.
"GO TO HELL!! I ain't making you a damn thing!!" Echo yelled.
"I got scented candles!" Atomu interrupted with a smile.
A brief silence fell between the group, unsure how to react.
"....... why???" Yurio questioned.
"So I can burn them!!" Atomu announced in a darker tone, smile stretching to either side of his cheeks.
"Oh........." Yurio mumbled with concern.
...............
Suddenly a growl could be heard...(!!!) from Leo's tummy.
"I need to regenerate...." Leo translated.
"How bout we go find a place to grab lunch?" Luna suggested.
"I know just the place!" Echo giggled with a blush.
...
"So this is McDucfries?" Atomu questioned as the sign buzzed above them flickered red letters: "McDucfries: the obesity eatery!"
The inside smelled like burnt oil, stale fries, and questionable decisions.
A gremlin-like employee slumped behind the counter, dead behind the eyes.
"4 specials, 2 kids meals, a burger stack, and 5 colas and an Oreo milkshake!" Echo beamed.
"I'd prefer ice tea--" Eclipse went to say.
