Druins (part 9)

This one is the longest so far! And i was only going to write the beginning to this story. lol.


Meanwhile, Bekki was having a really hard time finding a pair of shoes she would actually wear. The store had a ton of really tacky running shoes, but their wasn’t much in the way of solid colors. She asked the sales person if they had any solid colored running shoes for the thousandth time, and for the thousandth time the salesman had brushed her off, and tried to talk her into buying the tackiest and most expensive running shoe they had. She finally decided that there was no way she would ever buy from this store, and left. She checked the nearest mall directory and to her dismay that was the last shoe store in the entire mall. She sighed and decided that she would just have to come back another day, but she didn’t necessarily have to go home. She smiled realizing she had the afternoon to her self and headed off to spend some cash at her favorite clothing store. After some good shopping she realized that the best place to get some gym shoes was probably in the Druin catalog. She headed towards the nearest bathroom, and when she had finally gotten a stall she pulled what looked like an unusually square walnut out of her purse. She placed flat in her left palm, and waved her right hand over the weird walnut. The walnut instantly grew, and it suddenly took the form of The Druin book. She looked up the catalog section in the book, and finding a perfect pair of shoes she pointed at the picture of them, and as if magic a hole appeared in the book. She stuffed in the appropriate amount of money, and her pair of shoes popped out of the hole.
"Can I have a bag to put these in?" she asked the hole. A few sounds later a paper bag popped out of the book. She threw the shoes in the bag and quickly closed the book. After returning it to its normal shape she stuffed it in her purse and left the stall, relieved that that awful chore was over. She decided to go home and left the mall with a smile on her face. When she got to her house the door was locked, and after a bit of knocking and nobody letting her in she went around back to climb up the ivy stem into her room. She had just climbed into the room when suddenly Genie came in. She was pulling David by his wrist.
"What are you doing here?" Genie asked she looked like she was about to blow up, "I thought you were at the mall!" Bekki shrugged.
" I got what I needed, so I came home but nobody would answer the door so I climbed up the ivy. I just got her!" she smiled. Genie cursed a bit and then left the room.
"She said she wanted to tell me something," David said looking after Genie storming down the hall.
"I'll bet she did," Bekki murmured to herself.
"What?" David asked clearly confused. Bekki rolled her eyes, gave the now dumb-founded David a hug and left the room. She could feel him following her, and she trampled down the hall to the master bedroom.
"Wh-" Bekki was suddenly stopped by David's hand over her mouth.
"It's okay!" Tori laughed, and throwing a shoe at David she added, "Now get to work you two." David looked as if someone had just told him that he had been wrong all these years and breathing was not a necessity. Trenton smiled at him.
"I calmed her down for you," he said matter of factly. Tori shot him a look and Trenton returned it. The foursome laughed, and got to work. They were about done when a little head popped in from the side of the door.
"Need any help?" Genie asked giggling as if she had just noticed they were cleaning, or that there was a mess in that room. Tori got up from her mess, and looked like she was about to slap her as hard as she did David, but to everyone’s suprise she gave her the biggest hug anyone had ever seen.
"You care!" Tori laughed.
"God!" Trenton moaned. Bekki elbowed him in the middle of his ribcage. He started to complain when Tori ran over and hugged him too. Genie was a stiff as a wooden board and seeing how stiff she was, Tori let go of Trenton.
"You okay?" Tori’s eyes grew big and she looked as if Genie had just died or something. She went over to Genie and shook her gently. Genie snapped out of her stiffness and began insulting Tori immediately. Tori rolled her eyes and threw a nearby shirt at Genie. Genie looked like she was about to tear up the shirt, and then she looked like she was about to fold it and put it away. After a moment she compromised and just threw the shirt on the ground. After about ten seconds she turned and left the room.
"What a suprise!" Trenton sarcastically added. Bekki was about to elbow him again when, as if he knew what was coming next threw his hand where she was going to elbow. Her elbow sunk harmlessly into his hand, and he grabbed it.
"Hey!" Bekki yelled. She sucker punched him with her other hand, and he looked amazed.
"You punched me!" he yelled. Bekki laughed.
"I think it’s an instinct," she cheered, and leaving him with his thoughts she grabbed the shirt Genie had dropped and put it away. Trenton recovered from his brief shock and went off to find Genie so they could talk about how weird Bekki and Tori could be. Tori, Bekki, and David finished up, and headed downstairs.
"Hey kids!" Mrs. Fields laughed as they entered the kitchen, "Y’all look tired. What have you been up to?"
"Nothing!" they chorused. Tori suddenly fell to the floor, and was asleep. Mrs. Fields and Bekki seemed unfazed. David looked slightly weirded out.
"Should we wake her up?" he asked, practically begging to be allowed to.
"Honey," Mrs. Fields began, "You won’t be able to even get her to stir for another five minutes." Bekki pulled him into a kitchen chair, and pulled out a pitcher of lemonade, stepping over Tori as she did so. They sat their, sipping lemonade and waited until Tori picked herself off the floor. When, she finally did he threw her arms around her, and the two skipped off. They claimed they had to study together.
