Author's note: THIS IS MOON SOON- I just want to be clear because I'm writing under HalfJillHalfJack's name. Why have I hacked into her account? Because I have LAID DOWN THE GAUNTLET! Slapped her with a duelling glove if you will, and by that I mean we are co-authoring a story- and not in a conventional way either since I have written this chapter and she will be writing the next (and so on and so forth.)
Kendall stared blankly at the long corridor before him. Truly this was hell.
He laid his back against what he assumed was wall and fell straight threw the door and hard on the floor. He hit his head and Kendall opened his eyes- temporarily disorientated by unnaturally bright lights. He raised his head and placed his hands on the walls of the small room, streaking his hand down the mirrors.
That must be a bitch to clean.
"Kendall" James' voice rang out, cutting through the relative silence.
"You're not trying to run away again," James scolded and Kendall stuck his head out into the corridor "no sorry, sorry I'm here."
James appeared in front of him, arms crossed. He was wearing an exceptionally tight pair of pants and a collared shirt that he hadn't buttoned up yet. He looked down at Kendall with an incredulous look and a raised eyebrow.
"So what you… fell?"
"It sounds stupid when you say it" Kendall grumbled, "Why are there so many doors anyway? It's all a little unsettling if you ask me."
James rolled his eyes "you act like you've never seen the inside of a changing room before." Kendall looked studiously away and slumped back on the glass. James gaped openly and horrified expression bloomed on his face.
"Kendall…" James pronounced his name slowly and with great deliberation "you… HAVE seen the inside of a changing room before right?"
"Of course I have" Kendall snapped letting James help pull him up "you know in movies and TV shows and stuff." James shook his head and looked Kendall up and down "you know this explains SO much about you're wardrobe!"
Kendall looked down at his jeans and vans, and smacked James' hand who was picking at one of his favourite plaid shirts. "Hey" he jerked out of James' reach "Jo picked this shirt out for me!"
James snorted and gestured wildly "this just further proves my point- you KNOW that girl doesn't know how to dress herself!" Kendall glared and pushed James "hey!"
James just laughed "that's why she should have dated me" he sang out "plaid is SO smallville!"
The door suddenly slammed in Kendall's face. Kendall blinked hard and went to grab the handle only to realise there wasn't one… it was just a standard push-pull door. But when Kendall went to push the door open, it pushed back. Remaining stubbornly shut.
"What the hell?" Kendall muttered to himself, using his shoulder to push against the door but it only shuddered and remained infuriatingly shut.
"JAMES!" Kendall screamed "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE DOOR!"
"I got several of the shop girls to sit up against the door- your stuck!"
"I'M A HOCKEY PLAYER- YOU THINK I CAN'T TAKE DOWN A COUPLE OF SHOP GIRLS!" Kendall banged his fist against the door and then tried to break down the flimsy door again. Yielding the same frustrating results.
"I play varsity football" a girl's voice giggled through the door "and I have a black belt," another voice sung out "I think we can take you!"
"I don't… have any sporting background" a third voice said hesitantly, "that's why you get to man the store Becky, make sure that guy doesn't run havoc with the clothes."
Kendall sat down on the floor in defeat and banged his hand against the mirror in a half-hearted attempt in anger. "Careful!" A voice squeaked "if you break the glass they take it out of our salary!"
"Why are you even helping him?" he glared at the door, "did you not SEE him" the second girl sniggered.
Oh that's right… James hadn't had his shirt buttoned up when he staged this odd coo.
Curse James and his ridiculously defined abs!
Kendall placed a hand on his stomach… maybe he should start going to the gym more… NO! That's just what James wants you to do!
He banged against the mirror again and the hallway was filled with noise again, James distinct male voice in a stark contrast to the gaggle of girl voices. "Kendallllll" he voice sang out, but didn't make a move to answer him. Dirty-lock-Kendall-in-a-dessing-room-traitor!
"I brought you some clothes!"
"Oh hell no" Kendall yelled and took up trying to bust down the door. The saw a second of light and he got the door and inch open before it slammed shut again. "Oh don't be such a drama queen Kendall" James scolded; his voice sounded a lot closer now- he had probably applied his own weight to the door.
Kendall tested his theory by pushing against the door, but this time it didn't it didn't budge for a second.
He sighed and moved back away from the door a second before the sky rained with clothing.
"YOU CAN LEAVE WHEN YOU'VE TRIED ON ALL THESE CLOTHES!"
"NO FREAKING WAY!"
"JUST DO WHAT I SAY KEN DOLL!"
Kendall grumbled and picked up a shirt, it was metallic and had some kind of strange stitching. He slipped off is comfy plaid shirt and tried to put the shirt on. With fairly limited success.
"What the hell-"
Oh. Freaking zippers! What the hell!
Kendall tore the shirt off and ripped the zippers open with great annoyance, he shrugged the shirt again, but now he couldn't get his head through the hole.
"Buttons" he muttered taking the stupid things off again "of course."
Once he had the stupid shirt on, with every zipper zipped and every frustrating button buttoned up. 'There' he thought victoriously before looking down at the big pile of clothes and banged his head against the mirror before picking up a pair of jeans.
"I don't think these are my size" he called out to James, who just snorted "you think I don't know what size you are?"
"you're creepy."
"HURRY UP! I WANNA SEE!" one of the girls called and the other two agreed and giggled.
He got his legs in the pants (well just barely) but he had no idea how a person
Was supposed to put on skinny jeans while standing up. He wasn't even sure how to do it lying down…
"OH FOR GOD'S SAKE! DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE!"
"Why did I let you convince me to go clothes shopping with you" he hopped trying to inch with pants up is legs.
"Logan tricked you into it" James sniggered "he told me you're an easy mark."
"That bastard!"
Kendall zipped up his pants, "Okay" he cheered "I think I'm done!"
The weight released off the door and it flung open, four sets of eyes stared him down. James crinkled up his nose in disgust "do you really think that shirt goes with those jeans?"
Kendall glared and pulled at the shirt "I don't think this shirt should exist- let alone go with anything."
"Hmm, well okay- change it up!"
The door slammed in Kendall face again.
"I'm in hell…"
******BTR******
Hours later Kendall stumbled down the street carrying several heavy bags filled with clothing. "None of these are even mine" he whined hitting James with the bags, "that's because you refused to buy any suggestions- you looked great in those pants!"
"I lost circulation in those pants! Becky the shop girl had to cut me out of them when my feet started going blue… AND I had to pay for them!"
"Becky said she wanted to be a nurse… damn I should have gotten her number, then I could have set her up with Logan."
"Erg Logan- that jerk, I mean look what he did to m- wait is that him?"
James turned to where Kendall was pointing and sure enough sitting next to the window of a café, trying to hide behind a menu. "Oh this is perfect!" Kendall dropped all but one of the bags and stalked over to the café, ripping the door open.
"GEE WHAT A SURPRISE!" Kendall almost screamed and stalked over to Logan who was sinking into his chair. Camille looked up in surprise "um Kendall?"
"Camille" he greeted warmly "you're looking lovely today." She flushed and Kendall pushed Logan over so he could sit down next to him and stole the menu. "So you'll never guess what I'VE been doing today."
Logan groaned and Kendall shot him a vicious look before turning his attention back to Camille. "I've been shopping for clothes with James- he locked me in a dressing room and ripped my shirt in half so I had to buy a new one."
He pointed at his new black and silver shirt.
"It looks good on you" Camille said with a smile, Kendall smiled back "thanks Camille! Anyway when I asked James what prompted this sudden desire to shop he said someone had given him the idea." He slung his arm around his Logan "you can see where I am going with this."
"I can only imagine" she giggled.
James rushed through the door holding several bags over his shoulder "Kendall!" he rushed over to their table "we have to go NOW! I am not missing my hair appointment and I even got one for you- maybe we can finally do something about your beiber flip!"
Kendall stood up and took Logan with him, pushing the smaller boy into James. "Gee I would love to- but I'm on a date right now" he gestured at Camille who laughed and waved at James "but hey here's a crazy idea- Logan's not doing anything right now-"
"WHAT? Yes, yes I am!" Logan shrieked but James had already grabbed hold of him.
"This is SO great- we can totally talk about our feelings while we're at the hairdressers, this'll be SO much fun!"
"Yeah" Kendall agreed, "you know how much Logan loves to talk about his feelings!"
"I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS KNIGHT!" Logan screamed as James enthusiastically dragged Logan away "calm down Logie- your kind of causing a scene."
Logan cursed him as James dragged him out of the café. Kendall grinned to himself before turning towards Camille, "so…" he grinned at her "how was your day?"
She shrugged and giggled, "oh you know I was on a date… but I guess I have a new date now."
He nodded "you wont believe how many times that's happened to me on a date" he told her seriously. He looked at what was left of Logan's meal "well… he wont be eating this" Kendall reasoned and picked up a fork.
"Hey you gonna eat that?" he pointed at Camille's plate, she pushed the plate towards him "go for it."
"Awesome."
Shout out to CheekyBrunette because when I told her about the game and how we couldn't come up with any ideas to use (cause we're idea hogs and we hate to share) she gave us a LIST of ideas. So thank you so much for the prompt.
