Baby needs a new pair of shoes. No, really...

WHO: Rachel Grey temporaltossed and Kitty Pryde jewpryde
WHERE: The mall.
WHEN: Saturday afternoon. Day after THIS.
WARNINGS: It's Rachel, so a healthy dose of angst, balanced by Kitty's exuberance.
SUMMARY: SHOPPING. Or rather, Rachel really needs to get out of the Institute and away from her brooding male relatives. Kitty needs sneakers. It's a win/win, really.
FORMAT: Parawhatsis to start.

Rachel needed a break. A break from worrying about her family, from avoiding certain kinda-family, and from resisting the urge to preemptively kill certain former family-in-laws. And luckily she had a best friend in the City who could provide the perfect distraction.

After a nice lunch the pair had ventured to the mall and had begun wandering about. Rachel didn't particularly care where they went, she was just relieved to be doing something mundane, something normal.

Kitty knew that look well. It was the "Don't mess with me" look of Rachel's that even she wasn't stupid enough to challenge. Rachel could easily take care of herself but it didn't mean that Kitty, as her friend, wouldn't worry. It was just what she did.

"Okay, okay. I got it. Not asking anymore questions."

"Thanks." And Rachel meant it. Maybe after tonight she'd have a better idea what was going on... maybe she wouldn't. For someone who was always sensing everyone else's emotions, she was crap at dealing with her own.

"Try the blue one."
