“The best way I can think off to keep you away is chain you to a post halfway across the globe.” –M.H

4:00 pm

On the way to the mall

March 25

“You have to kidding me.”

“I’m not.”

“I don’t believe this.”

“You better.”

Stuck with each other that afternoon, Miku and Luka sat side by side in the car that abducted them from the school gate, ten minutes after their classes ended or the day.

“Who’s you master?” Miku asked the driver but she received no response from the driver.

“No point doing that. Besides, what could go wrong with both of us shopping together?” Luka asked and tried keeping herself busy with her phone games.

“We could destroy the whole mall, we could get kidnapped or hospitalized, we could also set the mall on fire and we might go to jail.” Miku replied and raised her eyebrow at her seatmate.

“Well, good news is, the stuff we get here will be paid by the master of the driver.” Luka said and glanced at the tealette for a moment before she returned to her game.

“True. I just hope someone informed our households.” Miku said and stared out of the window.

None of them dared to speak or even move from their position until they have arrived the mall’s drop off. The driver handed each one of them credit cards and his number. Both of them were requested to leave their belongings in the car and bring only their phones and themselves.

They were both puzzled with whatever was happening but they just shrugged it off and entered the mall.

For archenemies, they were pretty decent with giving each other advises with their choice of clothes and accessories. They both were particular with the shoes they picked out for each other but one store got them hyped up.

“Why are here again?” Miku asked the pinkette with her arms full of paper bags crossed.

“I don’t know.” Luka replied and walked inside the store.

“W.T.F.” The tealette whispered and face palmed before she entered the store herself.

“Welcome to DMC boutique. How may we help you?” An attendant, no older than 25, greeted the young ladies upon their arrival.

“Can we see your latest catalogues that are here? We’d like to try some of the dresses too.” Luka said while she gawked on how wide the place was.

“It will be out pleasure. Please have a seat and please feel free to browse among out racks. They are on sale for twenty percent.” Their attendant replied and made her way to the front counter.

“I think that would be the daughters of the company owners.” The attendant whispered to the cashier. The cashier peaked from her desk at the two girls and looked at the attendant.

“Yeah. That’s them.” She confirmed and took out a folder from under her desk and gave it to the attendant and presented it to the girls.

“These are the latest ones and are available straight from Paris.” She handed them the folder. “Please feel free to pick.”

“Thank you.” Miku said and got the folder. When the attendant left them, they started a glaring fight.

“Let me see it first.”

“No. I’m going to see it first.”

“No, I am.”

They growled at each other until the attendant asked for their attention by presenting a rack full of new dresses that wasn’t in any catalogue in the store.

“Someone requested that you should try these gowns.” She said.

Miku threw the folder at Luka and stood up.

“I would love to try them all out.” She smiled at the attendant and took a moment to stick her tongue out at Luka.

Luka rolled her eyes and went back to the choices.

Miku strated trying several dresses out and only one caught her utmost attention.

It was an elegant high-low tube dress with navy blue as its main color. The bodice was divine because of the sky blue diagonal glitter sequin that dropped at the silver ribbon studded with navy blue crystal-like beads. The skirt was also beautiful with two layers and the innermost layer was transparent and made the dress stand out and what’s more brilliant was the tip of the skirt which was glittered with sky blue and faded until the back of her shins.

“It’s…Luka!!!” Miku rushed to the pinkette and showed the dress.

“What ag-Oh, wow.” The pinkette’s eyes were as wide as diner plates when she saw Miku in the dress.

“You have to agree with me that this is such a divine dress.” Miku said and pointed at Luka like she was forcing her to but Luka didn’t have to. It really is divine.

“Yes.” She couldn’t speak another word. No wonder the whole school dubbed Miku Hatsune ‘The princess of beauty’.

“O.M.F.G.!!!!! Yes!! I’m getting this! Together with the two gowns I tried earlier.” She skipped to the changing room with a smile and changed to her school uniform.

Luka started spacing out when she realized that her heart was beating so fast and she could hear it in her ears.

Damn. She’s beautiful. Wait, what?

She shook her head and tried to remove the redness of her face and tried to act normal when Miku arrived.

“Your turn.” Miku said with a really large smile on her face.

“Hmm.” Luka nodded and saw the attendant another rack filled with clothes but different from what Miku choose from.

“Miss, do you have the exact same design like hers but in a different color?” Luka requested.

“Yes, ma’am. It suits you because of the color of your hair.” The attendant took a dress from the rack and gave it to Luka.

Luka just gave a smile at the attendant and tried the dress on.

The dress wasn’t exactly the same because the dress that Miku tried was a mirror to Luka’s and the main color for the pinkette was crimson, black and silver.

She loved it and showed it to Miku.

“Miku, how is it?” She asked with her face flustered.

Miku’s mouth was agape for three or five seconds and she shook her head to stop herself from staring.

“Can I kiss you? You look absolutely beautiful!!” Miku immediately covered her mouth and looked away from Luka.

The pinkette chuckled and ruffled the hair of Miku before she dressed back to her uniform.

“I’d like to get the long gown over there and the cocktail dress over there.” She said and smiled at the attendant while pointing at two different racks.

The attendant kept in her laughter until she arrived at the cashier.

“They both got the same designs of dresses. They really are twins.” The attendant chuckled and fixed up the clothes of the girls.

After getting their bags and finding out that someone already have paid for their dresses, they both went out of the store with content and smiles and forgot that they hated each other to the bone.

They went to the car again and they were dropped off to their places.

“You have got to be kidding me.” Both of them chorused.

They just found out something weird.

“You live next to me?” They asked in a chorus voice before they face palmed together.

What do you think, huh? Huh?

Yeah, I definitely will ship them and make this incest…ha! You can’t stop me…
