"Damnit, where's the gloves?" Shell mutters glancing around the store with a set of goggles and a broom cleaning kit. Isaiah had a big game and his equipment was a bit shabby seeing as it was Logan's from years ago. Shell walks through the crowd not being able to see due to her short height, crashing her into someone hard. "Sorry. Bloody hell." she mutters again, dropping the heavy box onto the ground.

I sighed lightly, feeling Ariella and Charlotte pulling on my hands trying to make me hurry into the store faster, but for fun I was walking slowly, just to annoy them. "Mum, come on, please?" I heard Char ask and smiled a little before shrugging my shoulders and stopping all together. "We won't eat any cookies for a month, just hurry." I raised an eyebrow at Ella after hearing that and started walking, pulling the girls into the store before they could take back the cookie deal.
"Why do you want to be in here anyways?" I asked, raising a small eyebrow, I knew I loved quidditch and it must've rubbed off on the girls, but they were practically running into the store. "Mum, look out." I heard Ariella yell at me and turning right into Shelby, letting out a small gasp when she crashed into me. "Hey Shelly." I said softly, leaning down to pick up the box, hearing the girls whisper quick before running forwards and hugging her quick around the waist. "You alright Shell?" I asked, standing up with the box.

She looks up and smiles, seeing Riyann holding the heavy crate that she had dropped. "Hey Riy, Ella and Char." she says laughing when she got attacked with hugs. "Yes, I'm fine. Nothing's broken or damaged that wasn't already damaged before." she says tapping the side of her mind with a laugh.
"So, what are all of you doing in here today? Getting brooms or just purposely letting people run into you?" she asks with a smile before setting the goggles on top of the crate reaching for the box.

"Hello Shell." I said with a small smile, watching the girls and shook my head softly. "Shell, can we stay with you for a month?" I heard Charlotte ask softly and raised an eyebrow before shaking my head lightly.
"Well that's good, though you should get that checked out." I said, grinning a little when she pointed to the side of her head. "Well I dunno why we're here, but I'm sure running into people isn't the answer." I added shrugging and looking down at the girls. "I wanted a broom and some goggles, and gloves and a cleaning kit and a bludger and." "Shush Ariella, mum won't let us if you say it all." Char snapped quietly at her sister, rolling her eyes. "How've you been Shelby?"

Shell laughs a bit and nods. "I personally wouldn't mind cause we definately have enough room in that house of mine, but I think your dad and mom would miss you too much sweethearts." she says with a smile.
"Come on now Riyann, there's no cure for Crescent Craziness. They even came up with a name for it after they realized what a nutcase Jenny is." she says with a laugh. "I think that girl is crazier than I ever was. Doesn't help that Briar has told her stories over the years." Shell glances at the girls again and laugh, pretending not to hear anything. "Did you hear something?" she winks to her, "But I'm fine. Just the same busy Shell that hardly gets any sleep."

"They only want to stay with you because Ariella promised no cookies for a month if I hurried in here." I said, smiling down at them. "But we'd miss them too." I added with a small nod of the head.
"True true, but I don't think it's just the Crescents Shell." I said with a small laugh. "Poor Jenny." I started but paused. "No, poor you in that case. Briar really has been telling her stories, hasn't she?" I asked, shaking my head lightly. "Nope, not a word." I added, rolling my eyes lightly and watching the girls run off for the newest make of brooms. "Shelly, you need to get away for a day or two it sounds." I said, laughing softly.

She dramatically gasps, looking at them again with a frown. "So you only wanna live with Auntie Shell cause of cookies? That's not very nice." she says remembering Riley's and her's conversation about what happens when you steal cookies when they were under the dining room table a couple of days ago.
"Eh, compared to us I think we got everyone beat, especially if you know my stories." she says with a laugh. She watches the girls run off to the brooms and she sighs lightly. "I haven't been able to. With Jay constantly at work and then the kids being home this weekend, it's just hectic."

"But we weren't going to steal 'em." Ella cried, shaking her head. "And we were going to help with cooking and everything, honest." She added, nodding her head. "Ella, you need to stop promising things. Charlotte said, shaking her head softly from where they were.
"Probably, but still not just the Crescents." I said, smiling softly. "I'm not sure if I want to know the stories, at least not around those two." I said, nodding my head softly in the girls direction. "MUM, can we get a broom?""Or two?" I looked over at them and rolled my eyes, watching Char push Ella's shoulder lightly, almost angered by the fact that Ella kept running everything. "I can come over and help you know." I said, biting my lip softly, wondering why Jay hadn't been there to help her.

"Uh-huh. Well, we'll have to test your cooking skills one day alright? Then I'll let you stay." she says with a laugh as she glances back at Riyann.
"Oh, they are rather interesting to say so at the least." She says with a grin. "We'll have to have coffee or coffeecake at my place to tell you a few of them. We could make it a weekly tradition. You come, get stories and food and we have fun." Shell nods. "Are you seriously going to buy them a broom or two?" she adds, glancing back at the girls and laughing a bit. It sorta reminded her of Fiona and herself when they were younger, Shell being in Ella's shoes. "No, I don't wanna bother you. It's fine, but thanks."

I shook my head softly as Ella jumped up and down, nodding her head eagerly and Char just watched her. "Shelby will work you hard." I said, watching Ella's eyes go wide.
"Hm, sounds like we've got a date." I said, smiling. "Just as long as those two don't find out and Briar doesn't decided to corrupt them with your stories." I said, laughing softly and listening to her next question. "Not likely. We'll go broke soon if I do, besides I'm sure I've still got that one at home." I said with a small sigh. "Or I might get them one for their birthday." Iadded softly, hearing Shell laugh. "Well then, I'll come over tomorrow." I said, smiling a little, she wasn't getting away with it's fine. She sounded tired as it was.

"Oh thanks Riyann, make them terrified of ever coming over again." she says with a laugh, seeing how wide Ella's eyes grew at the sight, but it wasn't a lie either. The kids were always complaining about how many chores they had.
"I can protect them from my stories but I can't really from Briar, so I make no promises. Why do you make corruption sound like a bad thing anyway?" she nods, understanding money troubles. "Well Jay and I can chip in if you want as a birthday present." she nods again. "No. I said that I'm fine Riyann."

"Shell, you've got enough kids to keep the house running, I need mine to help me." I said, grinning down at the now scowling Ella and Char rolling her eyes.
"Well then, I'll just have to keep Briar from them." I said, laughing a little. "Because they'll turn out like me, or worse you." I said, grinning. "Nah, I hope by then I'll have a job and it'll be easier." I said, shrugging my shoulders lightly. "Shell, come on." I said, shaking my head lightly. "I can come over and make dinner and then we can talk later or something."

She laughs a bit, shaking her head. "Hey there's always the little jobs like cleaning the lower cabinets or keeping all the shoes in the hall closet." she says with a smile over to the girls.
"Exactly. My goddaugther Melissa is turning more and more into her everyday." she says with another laugh. "Hey. If they turn into me they'd be very lucky." she sarcastically mumbles, rolling her eyes a bit to show she was kidding. "No. I got it. It's really okay. I don't need sleep now, I'm insomniatic."

I grinned, watching Char as she stuck her tongue out at Shelby and Ariella as she spun in a circle, pretending not to hear either of us. "Hm, or they could cook, lord knows they'd be better than me." I said, shaking my head softly.
I laughed a little, shaking my head lightly. "Must be scary." I said, smiling a little more now. "Very lucky to turn out like you Shell." I said, seeing her roll her eyes and laughed a little again. "Fine, I'll come over to visit and give you a sleeping potion or something." I said, shrugging my shoulders lightly. "Or we can just talk."

"I think anyone can cook better than you sweetie." she says with a grin as she sticks her tongue back out at the girls.
"It is. Caught her doing cartwheels and then landing on her bottom in an empty hallway at school." she says with a smile. "Okay, just talking then. No babysitting for me."

"I'm pretty sure, but at least I can make macarooni and cheese." I said with a smile as Shelby stuck her tongue out at the girls.
I laughed a little and shook my head. "At least she didn't hurt herself to entirely bad." I said, shrugging my shoulders lightly. "Alright talking." I said, shaking my head with a smile. I'd find some way to help her so she could at least sleep.

"It's better than nothing." she nods, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "So, what are you doing later today?" she asks, keeping an eye on the girls as she spoke to Riyann.
"Yeah, she just laughed and started helping me put my astronomy tools back into the cabinet seeing as it's the end of the year." Shell smiles just looking at Riy now instead. "And yes, just talking. I don't need sleep. I'm insomiatic." she laughs.

I laughed a little and nodded. "Later today. Hm, probably nothing." I said, shaking my head lightly. That's all me and the girls ever really did was hang out at the house or the park.
"Well you had help at least." I said, grinning a little. "Ugh, just means another year closer to those girls going off to Hogwarts." I said, shaking my head a little. "OKay, just talking." I said, shaking my head.

"Well, you can come over after whatever else you're doing." she says with a nod. "The kids can play as we talk about random things that I have no idea about, so then it would sound like I'm babbling about it like right now." she says with a laugh.

I laughed a little. "Sounds like fun." I said, shaking my head lightly. "Hm, talking about random things." I said, raising an eyebrow and laughing shortly after hearing Shelby laugh, looking up to see Charlotte running over to me, Ariella behind her. I smiled softly before Ella tripped and fell into Charlotte's back, causing them both to fall to the ground and laughed, hearing their muffled giggles.

Shell glances over and gasps slightly. "Are they okay?" she asks, as her instinct was to rush over to them to check for herself but she heard laughter so she stayed put. "That was definately random." she says with a faint trace of a smile, but still watches Charlotte and Ella out of the corners of her eyes.

I know that I shouldn't have started laughing at first, but this seemed to happen every day it seemed, that and they deffinetly had harder crashes. "Yeah." I said, shaking my head softly, not laughing anymore. "It's like ritual for them, or Ella at least." I said, smiling up at them when they stood up, Lottie rolling her eyes and Ella grinning with laughter still.

She nods, still watching them for a few more seconds before looking back at Riyann. "Clumsy like her father huh? That figures. Ella wasn't lucky enough to pass over that gene in the gene pool." she says with with a faint smile still.

Post by Riyann Servansikk on Jun 4, 2008 21:24:44 GMT
I smiled a little and nodded. "Clumsy like Riley." I said with a small laugh. "Though Char can be clumsy, just not nearly as bad as Ella." I said, shaking my head a little. "Poor Ella." I added with a small smile.

She smiles lightly, looking at the box in her hands. "Oh yeah, I have to pay for this." she laughs at herself a bit. "Well, hopefully they'll grow out of it. They have time." she says with an nod as she turns around and heads for the cashier counter.

I smiled a little. "Hopefully." I said, laughing softly, "We'll wait for you then." I said when she turned to pay for her things and looked at the girls with a raised eyebrow. "Can we get a broom?" "There's a really fast one over there." Ella added and I could tell she was holding something back from telling me. "Maybe later." I said softly, biting my lip softly, getting pouting faces from the girls. "It'l be a no if I keep getting them." I said shaking my head a little, feeling bad for them. The only reason they weren't getting any quidditch things was because I didn't have a job.
"Come on." I said, walking over to the counter that Shelby was at.

Shell hands the cashier two galleons for her purchases and turns around with a nod. "Okay so anywhere else you have to go before going to my house?" she asks tucking a loose curl into her bun.

"Hm, nope, not that I know of." I said with a small laugh, watching Shelby. "Want some help with anything?" I asked, turning around and seeing the girls standing where I'd left them and I sighed softly, shaking my head at them.

Shell glances at the girls and raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong with them?" she asks handing her a smaller box that contained his new gloves and goggles. "Thanks." Shell adds, moving so the next person could ring up their stuff but not far enough that the girls were out of sight.

"Nothing." I said, shaking my head lightly, letting a soft sigh past my lips. I looked at her, raising a small eyebrow at the smaller box Shelby handed me. "Your welcome." I said, smiling softly and walking out of the way with her, raising an eyebrow at the girls. I wasn't leaving without them, but I wasn't getting them they broom.
