Chapter 682 - Yearning

*POOF*

"Aaaaaaaghhh!!! What was that?"

"Sorry. Just a spark. Nothing major."

"Nothing Major. Jacklyn, you almost blew me up in....what even is this?"

"Acid.

Very toxic…bad.....juujuuu/ You don't want that all over you."

"And you're putting this over the…..:"

"Shirts, pants, and shorts; yes."

"Is this safe? On a scale of one to ten?"

"Ummmm....Seven?"

"Are you saying that like it's a question, or as a hard factual one hundred percent certain without a shadow of a doubt statement?"

"....Both?

If you want to find someone else then…."

"No.

We don't have anyone else. Well, Elwin Father knew a guy who specialized in.....but I trust you more."

"More than a seven?"

"Even if you were less than, I'd still put my marbles with you then trusting a sketchy Wizard whose side effects are instant regret and an overwhelming loss of needing life."

"Oh?"

"He makes you addicted to whatever necklace you're wearing. You won't want to take it off, even if you could; you can't. You have to fight with yourself.....physically."

"Oh my."

"Yeah.

So you can see why I trust you."

"Yeah. I would trust me too, if I were you."

"What's this stuff over here?"

"Oh, just an experiment of mine. Shirts are big and very attractive, but if you want something more subtle to hide your powers; then….."

"Earrings, necklaces, and belts are your thing?"

"They're just trinquets; but as you said…..they're hard to get off."

"They're overwhelming?"

"No. They are physically hard to get off. Also, ten times longer to make; less sturdy; more destructive; and very easy to overexceed the limits."

"So you've been making for a while?"

"Yeah? But School Uniforms....*Dip*......That's a new one."

*Drip….drip….drip….drip….drip*

"Huuuuu…..It's so beautiful. How does it…."

"Careful. I still have to seal it. Air pulls and retracts, but thankfully since this is a shirt, and not a necklace; then it can only pull out your Aurora to the confines of the shirt. Not choking you in one spot like a small trinquet."

"Ruby will love it."

"Just as much as me?"

"I don't know about that. Call me when you're done. Oh…..and the name of the School is 'One Pearl,' "

*Dripp.*

"You couldn't have told me that before I made four shirts?"

"Sorry. Was just so mesmerized."

"Well, take your mesmerization elsewhere."

"Jacklyn."

"I…..sorry. Just weird having someone in here with me. Critiquing my work. Bending over me like a teacher, ready to slap...and just...talking in general."

"Sorry.

I won't question you again and will just leave now."

"Rainbow, wait. I didn't mean it like…"

*Phueeemmmm…....phueeemmmm.....Phueeeeemmm…..

*Hmmmmmmmmm*

"You smell that?"

"Fresh....paint?"

"No. Our...fresh paint. It's our first coat, Tomato."

"Yeah."

"Do you know what this means?"

"That I can go to bed now?"

"Yes. In our own.....actuall...…soft comfy beds. No more hard surface sleeping. No more getting up in the middle of the night and having to search for…."

"Goodnight, Apple."

"But I wasn't finished with my speech yet.

I'm supposed to be tired one since I am human, not you Tomato?"

"We'll celebrate tomorrow, Apple. They say realization doesn't come on your first night, but your second. So we'll….."

"Oh. I see.

Well in that case, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"I get to take a show…er. I get to take a show…er. I get to take a show…er. Yeahhh!!!!"
