It was Sunday afternoon as Ash strolled into Queen's Apparell. Laney had stolen his favorite pair of skinny jeans and still hadn't given them back, but that was okay, they were getting too small anyway. So now he was on the hunt for new skinny jeans. He saw Jen, and waved. "Hey Jen."

Jen had been putting out more stock when Ash walked in.
"Hey Ash, How are you?" she said putting the last of the new stock out and walked to the entrance of the backroom.
"Tea?" she offered, pulling her wand out and flicking it towards the kettle, making the switch flick to on and start to boil.
"So how come your here today?" she questioned, realising he wasn't meant to be in today.

Ash smiled and shok his head, "No thank you. I'm more of a coffee person. Why am I here? Well let's see, if memory serves me correctly, a certain sister of mine, stole my favorite pair of skinny jeans. And still has not given them back. But, it doesn't matter, they were getting too small anyway." He smiled, "So, I'm just here for new jeans. How have you been doing?"

Jennifer smiled.
"Coffee it is then" she said, the kettle had finally boiled and she made up two cups of coffee and handed one to Ash. Pulling up another seat for him to sit on, she then sat on hers behind the counter. She took a sip of the coffee and licked her lips. He asked how she was, uh oh.
"I'm been okay, I think you know why i'm not at my best, do I need to mention his name?" she gave a pathetic excuse for a smile before taking another sip and clutching the mug in both hands for warmth.
"Well, what sort do you want? The same skinny jeans style?" she asked.

Ash smiled, "You'll be okay." He nodded, "Yeah. That sounds good."

Jennifer put her cup down and hopped off the seat. She searched her drawers for a tape measure, finally finding one.
"Come on then, no time like the present. I'm glad you came actually, it'll keep my mind off things" she smiled bending down so she could measure Ash up.

Ash smiled. "True." he agreed. He stared into space as she bent down to measure him, "You haven't met my sister yet have you?" he asked thoughtfully.

Jennifer concentrated on measuring him before answering his question.
"No I haven't...Is that a good or a bad thing?" she said finally standing up and writing the measurements down on a notepad.
"Go round the back and tell me what Denim shade you want!" She said, motioning with her quill to the backroom while concentrating on the notepad of measurements. She started to draw a design of the jeans.

Ash laughed, "Not meeting her is a bad thing! Laney's pretty cool." He watched as she went around to the counter. "I usually just wear black."

Carolanne had heard about a new clothing store from Ashton. It wasn't like her to pass up an opportunity to spend her father's money on clothes. One day she knew the guy would have a complete break down. She had things back at home with the tags still attached that she had bought in the beginning of summer. "Carolanne Elizabeth! If you buy something, you need to wear it God Dammit! That's a waste of money!" She could still hear Daniel's angry voice though it made her laugh at the thought of his face a bright red.
Pushing the door open, she caught the ending of Ash's color preference. "God, Ash. Black's a depressing color." She looked at Jen and gave a rather polite smile, "Faded blue for Ash. He needs a new color. Bring out those eyes of his," she said letting her jacket slide off her arms. Folding it neatly, she draped it over her right arm and looked around.
As she examined the store, she found it rather nice. Go figure for her to judge a clothing store. It was her specialty after all. "You make these yourself?" she asked, still examining the clothes, "They're pretty good. I haven't even seen half of these styles around." Feeling as if she was a bit rude, she turned to the woman and smiled, "Laney McLane," she simply said.

Jennifer had been messing around trying to find a till reciept under the counter when she heard the bell above. She lifted her head up quickly only to bang her head on the end of the counter.
"Oww" she grimaced before cowering again and standing up properly. Rubbing the back of her head, she winced. She saw a girl come in, obviously she knew Ashton by the way she spoke. She smiled at her and listened to her, before putting the till reciept on the counter and looking over to Ash. When the girl introduced herself, Jennifer pulled an 'o' shape with her mouth before greeting her with a smile.
"Ah, so your Carolanne. I'm Jennifer and yes I make everything in here" she said quite pleased with herself as Carolanne seemed impressed.

Laney continued to look through the clothes, grabbing a few off the racks and draping them over her arm. She wouldn't blow off a chance to spend her parent's money, besides, she needed more clothes, Ash kept stealing hers. "I really like this," she said holding up a midnight blue top.
When Jen introduced herself she smiled, "Well, Jen. I might just become a regular," she said with a small laugh. "And yes, I would be Carolanne. Ash's sister. I hope he's not saying anything mean about me," she said giving Jen a wink.
Carolanne walked to the counter and shifted her weight to one leg, "There wouldn't be a place to try these on, would there?" she asked her.

Jennifer smiled when Laney asked if Ash had been saying bad things about her.
"Oh no, of course not! He just said it was bad that I hadn't met you yet" she smiled sweetly, realising that was a nice thing of Ash to of said about her. Jennifer walked over to the backdoor entrance and pointed to the purple curtain next to it.
"Here you go, If there's any problems just give me a shout!" she said with a quill between her teeth, she pulled back the curtain for her, revealing a rather spacious cream dressing room with a large mirror.
"A rather good piece of magical trickery huh?" she smiled while raising her eyebrow. The place where the changing room was was under the stairs and it looks cramped from the outside, however once you pulled back the curtain, it was a huge fitting room.

Ash turned at the sound of a voice. "Laney!" He cried seeing his sister. He pouted, "And I don't want blue! I want black." He stuck his tongue out at Laney, "Besides, since when do you care what color I wear?"
((Blegh, crappy....))

Carolanne turned around and looked at her brother with raised eyebrows, "Seriously, Ash. Black is depression and you of all people shouldn't be wearing it. And I care as of now," she said sending him a cheeky grin. For once in the past few weeks she was happy. Maxi and her were talking again, Ash and Cris were doing great, and she had just received a lump sum of money from the 'rents. They day couldn't have been better.
"I'll be back," she told her brother as she entered into the dressing room. After pulling one of the dresses she grabbed over her head, she examined herself in the mirror. To her astonishment, it was damn near a perfect fit. This made Laney grin wider.
Pushing the curtain aside, she stepped out into the store and stuck a small pose. "What do you think?" she asked them both. The dress was deep red and was a tight fitting dress. It had a halter top and was hemmed just above the knees. "Just add a sweater and I think it'd make me seem sophisticated," she said with a laugh. She'd be surprised if Ash didn't take notice of her sudden mood change.
