Jokes and other nonsense (Aurie/Pix)

It was too noisy. Fact one.

It was wayyy too noisy. Fact two.

It was so noisy that Aurelie couldn't think. Fact three, and she absolutely hated not being able to think. It was too claustrophobic in there, and so she found a dismal corner that held broken toys and watched. Her hands were shoved deep in the pockets of her cream-colored jacket and her hair tucked up in a messy bun. Appearances were everything, she had discovered, and had tailored herself to look like a middle-class bored girl.

She dearly hoped it was working.

Pixie was wondereing the prank shop. She looked around and with all the noise. She had a headache. Growling she thought, 'Why is everyone yelling and screaming. This is my time away from school.'

Looking around Pixie saw a girl standing at the back of the shop. Walking over with her hands shoved in her pockets Pixie called out, "Hey are you alright? Why are you just standing all alone?"

Aurelie looked up quickly as a girl called out at her. Of course it was at her -- who else would be standing all alone?

The girl was obviously having a headache. She looked quite grumpy, and her hands were shoved in her pockets. Not tucked, shoved.

"The question is," she said, "are you all right?" She smiled bleakly. "Hello. I'm Aurelie Bones."

"Me? I'm fine, thanks for asking. There are too many loud people." Pixie smiled slightly but grimiced when she heared a baby cry out.

"I'm Alexandra Fawkes, but everyone calls me Pixie Fawkes," she introduced her self.
