Alexis chatted happily to Ebony as they walked back to the mall carrying about 5 bags each. Ebony went a bit wild and enthusiastic when helping Alexis get decent clothes and accessories and stuff. She was helping Alexis to build up confidence, so she said, but it was probably just an excuse to spend lots of Bray's money hehe. As they walked into the mall they headed up the stairs towards the cafeteria to see an unhappy looking Amber and Bray. "Oh no PMT meisters unite" Alexis muttered to Ebony.

"You two weren't at the meeting. Care to explain why?" Amber asked.

"Because we weren't here" Alexis replied, "we went shopping instead"

"Yeah we can see" Bray grumbled, "Where did you get the money to pay for all that anyway?"

"None of your business, our money our purchases" Ebony smiled and linked arms with Alexis.

"Hmm" Bray raised an eyebrow and looked at them both, "well you could have said you weren't going to turn up at the meeting"

"And lose our element of surprise?" Alexis raised both eyebrows.

"We sent Pride to get you" Amber said.

"We know but oh well" Ebony shrugged.

"What was the meeting about anyway?" Alexis sighed and brushed some hair behind her ear.

"Ah so you do have the decency to ask" Amber said and the others rolled their eyes, "well it was about a new nightclub opening up in sector 5, called The basement"

"What? Really? When?" Ebony and Alexis asked together.

"Next week, we were discussing who wants to go on the opening night, and well the little kids can't go cos there'll be alcohol so we arranged who was to stay here and look after them" Amber explained with a smile.

Ebony and Alexis looked at each other, "not us"

"Don't worry we knew you wouldn't want to look after the kids - hell you scare them, so if you wanna go"-

"YES!"

"Okay, well just to let you know. not that you deserve to" Amber said folding her arms.

"You wuuuv us really" Alexis gave her best cute innocent look.

"In your dreams" Bray snorted.

"Come on girl, we got stuff to sort out" Ebony tugged on Alexis's arm.

"Like what nail varnish to wear?" Bray muttered sarcastically.

"Yeah" Ebony and Alexis said at the same time as they walked off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Late that night Alexis hummed to herself as she took a pot of chocolate mousse from the fridge. "You thought I forgot about you didn't you?" she spoke to the pot as she took the lid off, "well don't worry, I've come back to eat you" she grabbed a stool to sit on, "I'm talking to chocolate mousse. should I be worried?"

"I am"

Alexis jumped and span on the stool to see Pride smirking and heading to the fridge. "Look, don't tell anyone I talk to food and I won't tell anyone you still talk to trees, among other things you do to the trees"

Pride laughed and rolled his eyes, "whatever Lex"

"You're in denial" Lex muttered as she began to eat the mousse.

Pride sighed as he grabbed a pot of mousse for himself, "hey we haven't had a late night mousse and chat for a while"

"Mmmm" Alexis closed her eyes as she ate the delicious mousse and opened her eyes to see Pride staring at her, "uh, sorry you were saying?"

"Never mind" Pride shook his head and sat on a stool beside her, "So you didn't go to the meeting?"

Alexis mock gasped in horror, "oh my God you noticed?"

"Well there wasn't anyone making sarcastic loud comments or intentionally arguing for the hell of it, so yes we did notice you were gone"

"Awww I never knew you cared. Bet you missed me" Alexis smirked.

"Hmm.yeah" Pride said slowly.

"Amber told me and Ebs what the meeting was about anyway. Sounds cool"

"You thinking of going then?" Pride asked.

"Don't see why not, should be a laugh. Just keep me away from the alcohol and Jack" Alexis said making Pride laugh.

"Ah okay then" he smiled. "I noticed you're turning into quite a ladette lately"

"Huh?" Alexis looked up as she put more chocolate mousse in her mouth.

"Painting your nails, going shopping" Pride smirked, "and by the way the pigtails are reeeal cute" he laughed.

Alexis subconsciously ran a hand through her hair, "what I been told it looked good"

"Hehe, it does, but who'd have thought ey, Lex the feminine girly" Pride laughed.

"I'm not feminine!" Alexis squealed as she crossed her legs and ran a hand through her hair.

Pride burst into laughter, "oh no of course not.why Lex whats that on your face? Makeup"

"Oh shut up tree hugger, have you looked in the mirror lately?" Alexis retorted and reached over wiping a hand across the blue streaks on his face making them smudge.

Pride stared at her wide mouthed, "You did NOT just do that"

"Oh I believe I did, mwahahahahaha" Alexis evil laughed and grinned.

"You're going to pay little girl" Pride narrowed his eyes at her.

"Whatever, my heart bleeds" Alexis snorted.

Pride quickly reached over and snatched the chocolate mousse pot from her hand.

"Hey!"

"Mwahahahaha" Pride chortled and began to eat it.

"You..you Vile beast!" Alexis gasped.

"Yeah but I still have your mousse, mmm tasty" pride teased.

"That's it, this means war!" Alexis growled and pounced at him knocking him off the stool. Pride landed on the floor harshly but managed to keep a hold of the mousse pots and started to try scrambling away as Alexis clawed at his legs.

"Dang no nails! No nails! That's unfair!" Pride cried out.

"Then give up the mousse!" Lex replied and leapt up again managing to knee him in the side.

"Never!" he pushed her off and stood up.

"Stubborn git" Alexis muttered scrambling up also.

"Stubborn cow" Pride smirked as he grabbed the spoon from the mousse pot and lashed out with it.

Alexis gasped and stared at the offending chocolate streak across her arm. "Man that was low"

"I'd say sorry but, haha" Pride smirked.

Alexis took the opportunity to snatch back her chocolate mousse and cried out a triumphant "HA!"

"NOOOOO!" Pride's eyes widened.

"Payback time" Alexis smirked and dipped three fingers into the pot then swiped her hand across his chest leaving a massive streak of chocolate.

"eeeevil!" Pride exclaimed and lashed out with the spoon again making Alexis squeak out.

Before they knew it they dove into a full on mousse war, attacking with spoons and hands, squeaking away and cornering each other and viciously attacking.

Alexis screamed when Pride wrapped an arm around her from behind and wiped his spare mousse covered hand across her face.

The loud sound of someone clearing their throat made them stop and glance up with wide eyes to see Amber, Bray, Salene, May, Ebony and Jack stood in the door way staring at them.

They both coughed and jumped away from each other point to the other and exclaiming at the same time "he started it!"

Bray merely shook his head and muttered "you two" before walking away followed by an amused looking Amber. The others began to trail off too, and Salene glared at them both before walking out.
