Of Funky Scents and Yummy Food [Chicago]

[ariad]

This shopping thing was as tiring as it looked. Aria was definitely not the type to spend most of her days shopping. Heck, she even thought others were mad for thinking shopping was an exercise. But how wrong was she. Her arms felt numb from the amount of time she spent wondering around the mall with bags full of clothes. Her legs were tired from all the walking. "How the hell do girls do it?" She muttered crossly under her breath. The scurry of the crowd around her made it hard for Aria to stop and look at where she was going. She stood on her tiptoes, her blue eyes glancing from one side to the other before finally walking towards the food court.

To be honest, Aria wasn't rather hungry. She just needed a breather. And the first place that came into her mind was the food court. But a drink would be nice to Aria. With difficulty, she took a look at her wallet. There was only a little amount of money left. But it wouldn't hurt to buy a dehydrated girl a nice, cold refreshment. She pulled out a quarter before flipping it into the air and catching it in her hand again. Aria pushed the quarter into the vending machine before receiving a bottle of cooled coke.

Aria slumped on the chair closest to her. She dropped the shopping bags under the table before taking a sip of the cool drink. A sigh had escaped her lips as she returned to her slumping position with her eyes closed. The fluid definitely brought back some of the life she still had in herself. Her arms somehow felt lighter after she had let the bags drop onto the ground. Her lips tugged into a smile as she let out another sigh. Aria felt the presence of someone. She opened one of her eyes, studying the person. Her smile grew wider. "Fancy seeing you here. Didn't think you were the type to go shopping. Oh, wait. That's right. You're the daughter of the goddess of love and beauty and shopping," Aria said sarcastically with her elbows on the table,"Hey, Chicago." A toothy grin was plastered on her face as cocked her head at an angle and stared at Chicago.

Chicago was beaming as she walked through the mall. She loved shopping. Stopping at a store in the food court, she grabbed a burger, fries and a coke to go sit down with. Looking for a place to sit, she spied a familiar head of blonde hair sitting at a table.

Walking over she smiled and looked down at her friend Aria. "Aria! How are you? I didn't know you were hitting the shops today." She smiled as Aria made the comment, "Yes, I love shopping. Don't know if Aphrodite is the goddess of shopping though" She said with a smirk as she sat down with her bags and food. "So what shops have you hit today?"

Her lips formed a grin at Chicago. "I've been better. I never knew shopping would use so much of my energy." Aria chuckled. "Well, I didn't either. Until I received some money from a family member," she sighed. Note to self, it's not such a good idea to waste valuable money on clothes you'll only wear once. Aria took a sip of her bottle of coke and gulped it down. "Well, if there's a modern day type of Aphrodite, I'm sure she would've been goddess of shopping. Most beautiful girls love to shop, I think."

She was basing it on stereotypes. Aria wasn't so sure if every beautiful girl loved to shop. Aria shrugged. She wasn't quite sure what shops she had gone to. All she knew was that she had gone from store to store buying new clothes and shoes. "I guess, Hot Topic was one of them. Then a few others," she answered. Aria stole a glance at Chicago's bags. "You sure did some shopping."
