Re: The Ye Old Shoppe o' Curiosities (An OpenBook Production)

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "Did you have to ask?"
Taking her chin with the side of my hand, I lifted her lips to mine, all whilst the ducks began to pull up a fuss around us. A mother and her five ducklings swam over to the water's edge silently, towards the two of us, and before I knew it, I had a duckling sitting on my foot.
"Animals always react weirdly around me..." I murmured against her lips, "Must be a lost boy thing."

Robin: Shaking my head, I gave a slight giggle, "Don't worry about it, you're my boyfriend..."
And with a cheeky grin and a toying wink, I pressed my lips against the corner of his lips ever so lightly. Pulling them away, I gently hovered them above his pointed ears, a smirk on my face,
"It's all for you to see."
And with that, I slunk myself back, my eyes lingering at his. Then, I turned them and began to rummage through the the book until I reached the page that I was last on, skimming down the text to let him gather his thoughts together in his head. Inside though. my heart was fluttering crazily as I went through what I had just said myself.

Olly: ...didn't really help.
Guess I made that incredibly awkward.
Not that I was generally good at conversations, anyway.
Ah, balls.
"Hmm..." I murmured, coming up to the forest where she wanted to be dropped off, "Well, I guess that this is it. Anywhere in particular?"

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I smiled as he kissed me and when the animals began to arrive I grinned. I wrapped my arms around him, letting them rest on his lower back, and looked at him with interested eyes.
"Lucky, I got the plant thing but that's about it..." I murmured.

Johnny:
Breath.
Swallow.
Don't stare.
Breathing was much harder than I remembered it to be.
What did she mean by that?
The whole kissing and making subtle hints towards things but not actually saying them and walking away... WHAT DID IT MEAN?
I sighed and put my head in my hands
Girls.

Lila:
I shook my head and let him pull to a stop.
"Thanks a bunch, I couldn't have made it in time if not for you, I owe you one."
I gave him a polite peck on the cheek and hopped out of the car. Before I started to run I put on my beanie and zipped up my jacket, with that done I leaped into a quick sprint, running into the forest.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Plant thing? At least plants couldn't really move and take a dump on your shoulder...
I rested my forehead on hers as a hand began to thread through her hair, curling a lock or two with my finger as the ducklings took a seat on my shoulder. Even without bread they liked me.
"I think that the 'plant thing' as you call it is pretty awesome," I smirked, softening my stare into her eyes, "but not as awesome as you."
Was that a bit cheesy? Oh well, I liked cheese.

Robin: I glanced up from the book at him, "Sorry, I shouldn't be toying with you; you're trying to help me."
Shaking the thought from out of my head, I positioned myself so that I was facing him a little more, cross-legged on my bed. Running my finger down the page, I reached the bit which applied to us right now, what with the Lila thing.
"I read this last night," I began, squinting my eyes slightly at the small text, "Says all about elven tradition and all of that, but especially arranged marriages. Though it varies from tribe to tribe with ages and other little details like that, the majority of it applies to it all. They've, as in Lila's parents, must have been planning this a while..."

Olly: I think that I froze slightly at her kiss, unable to say anything back to her as she zoomed out of the car. I sighed, watching as she legged it into the forest and out of my sights. Turning on the engine again, I began the drive back home.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I blushed and kissed his cheek.
"Stop being so cheesy and sweet.. I might have to punish you, you can't let it go to my head.." I said, a smile growing.
I laughed as the animals began to relax, wandering over our feet and around us.

Johnny:
I shook my head and nodded, my brain finally deciding to turn back on. I opened another book and flipped to a marked page.
"Yeah, traditionally elven parents usually start planning their child's wedding and spouse once they're at two years of age, sometimes earlier depending on the circumstance. New age parents usually let their children find their own spouse or partner."

Lila: I managed to shimmy right back up the drain pipe, with a bit of difficulty and slip right back through the window. I was back to embroidery by the time the guards were checking on me.
A piece of cake.
Thanks to Olly, anyway.
I put a hand to my lips and smiled, I couldn't believe I had actually kissed his cheek.
That was quite rash of me, wasn't it?

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: I shrugged, a grin on my lips, "I don't care, but punishing me for being nice? That's not very...nice."
That caused me to chuckle pretty awkward, the fact that I couldn't think of another word other than 'nice' at the time, and it was damn right typical that straight afterwards I had about five spring into my mind. But down by my feet, the mother duck was beginning to tug on the bottom of my trousers, napping at them. I think she was a tiddly bit jealous of Molly.

Robin: "When they're two?" I asked in disbelief, "Bloody hell that's young."
And it was unbelievable how glad I was that Johnny wasn't one of the unfortunate few with traditional parents, otherwise I wouldn't have bumped into him at all and I wouldn't have such an amazing guy by my side.
Hell that sounded cheesy.
It was just fortunate that he wasn't a mind-reader.
"Guys! I'm back! Where are you all?"
"One sec," I winked at him, slipping off of the bed and running to the landing, "We're up here! I filled up the paddling pool for Angie!"

Olly: She filled up the paddling pool?
Oh sugar.
Running down the hallway without slipping up and cracking my head on the tiled flooring, I slid open the patio doors and frowned. This time, it wasn't actually Angie's fault; it was Robin's.
"Hey Olly!"
My eyes weren't on my paddling little sister, though, it was on the super soaked washing that was once reasonably dry. How did I know that she would set it up too close to it. To the side, I hadn't even noticed that the hose was still running, ruining the now-flooded flowerbed and causing the whole lawn to look like a muddy slip 'n' slide.
Mom was going to flip.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I laughed, then a mischievous grin lit my face. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer and brought my lips up to his ear.
"You sure you don't wanna be punished?"
Hey.
I had only a day and a night to spend time with him.
I could do whatever I wanted- in theory.


Johnny: I ran after her and saw Olly's face of 'Oh shit...' then looked at Robin.
"What happened?"



Lila:
I grimaced as the dress maker pulled the fabric around my waist a bit tighter making it much harder to breathe.
The light green fabric accented my eyes and skin tone but the cutesy little dress was my mother's idea. She decided to invite the three suitors to lunch the next day, more of a tea really, but she expected me to be a lady. That meant being 'Girly' and 'sweet;, two things I was okay with when I chose to use them.
Not when she did it.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Smirking, I swiped my tongue along the front of my teeth, holding back a chuckle. My God, I did not deserve her. But I hovered my lips above her ears.
Then, I said something which I probably would have regretted.
"Show me your worst."

Robin: "What did I...do?... Shit."
Leaping into the garden and down the steps, I stopped at the bottom, almost slipping over the water-logged lawn. The washing was muddy and drenched, the grass was half ripped up...
"Oh dear."
I walked over to the flowerbed, looking at the drowned flowers. I rubbed the back of my neck, going over in my head how we could fix it. So far, all I could think about was one thing.
"Mom's going to kill me...or us," I muttered, but then it hit me, "or maybe not."
Carefully stepping across the drenched lawn, I stopped in the middle. Getting down on my knees, not minding the fact that this would be the second ruined dress of the day, I placed both hands out, resting them in the middle of the floor. Now, I wouldn't have done this but seeing as the fence around our garden was extremely high and that everyone tended to avoided us, but this was an exception... Though Olly would now know...
Meh.
Drawing a smooth breath, I closed my eyes, hoping in my head that this would work. So far my record for fixing things was spotless, but I had never had to do anything to do with water...or anything so big. But either way, I cleared my mind.
And beneath my hands, a small light shone. Just a dim one.
Slowly, the water began to sink away seemingly to nowhere, under the ground. The flowers began to sit back up again, tall and proud as they were a second ago. And after a few seconds, I stood again, dusting off my soggy hands.
"I'll do the washing in a bit," I called back.
A woozy feeling suddenly came over me, though, with a little bit of nausea so I sat back down, getting my already ruined dress even more muddy.

Olly: I blinked.
What the hell?
Elves, arranged marriages and now my little sister could do magic?!
"Make sure you do!"
And with that, I walked off to the living room. It was all too much for me to work out.

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I cackled then grabbed his ass.
He wanted to be punished.
I couldn't help but grin devilishly.

Johnny:
My eyes grew wide but I managed to catch Robin before she became too muddy.
"Robin? Robby? You shouldn't do advanced magic when you're not versed in it, it can take it's toll quite fast." I murmured, brushing her hair away from her face.
I picked her up, bridal style, and whistled to Angie.
"Hey, d'you think you could lend me a hand?"


The messenger knocked on the door, He was sent to the address by his queen. All he had to do was deliver a few things and begone, he just wished this was going to be an easy last delivery, the first two weren't.
There was screaming and hugging and a whole lot of questions.
Not his cup of tea.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "Ah! Not the butt!"
I should never have told her that that was my area of weakness. I should have lied and said it was something else.
Chuckling, I began to laugh, nestling my head into her neck, pressing my lips to it, all whilst [half] trying to get out of her grip.

Robin: I waved my hand, my head feeling like I had just done fifteen shots of Tequila in a row, "I'm...fine. But I know, I just...panicked, kinda..."
But I always enjoyed it when he picked me up like that. I could nestle my head into his arm quite comfortably.
"Argh!" she grunted overdramatically, "What do you want me to do?"
Slipping out of the pull, she snatched a once-soggy towel that was hanging up on the line, wrapping it around herself. Padding over, her brows furrowed, half-glaring at her sister.
"How did you do that?" she asked both teenagers there, "That magic? Can I do that?"

Olly: "Huh?"
I plodded to the door, my new cup of tea in my hand. Opening it up, my brow raised to the overly-dressed man, one that looked like he was right out of a fairy book. Inside, I was cracking up with laughter and my lips were beginning to quiver from it.
"Hello, how may I help you?" I asked in an overly posh tone.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I smiled, "Trying to distract me now? Hmmmm....mmm... it's working..."
I closed my eyes for a moment, still hanging on.
"Did I tell you I love you?"

Johnny:

"You might be able to, don't try that yet though, I'd appreciate it if you helped Robin get into some clean clothes. I can carry her up but I would appreciate it greatly if you could help her, she used alot of her energy to do that." I said, pleading just a little.
Sure, I wanted to take her clothes off, but in the right moment and when she was conscious.


The messenger blew the feather from his hat out of his eyes and pulled a scroll from his bag. He unrolled it gracefully, as his master had taught him and opened his mouth.
"The Queen of the North tribes requests that the suitor who resides here to join the nobility in a luncheon tomorrow at one o'clock. The dress is black tie. I also offer you these books from the princess." he said, his voice hesitating at the book part.
From his elaborate jerkin he pulled two large books, each quite old.
"Uh... Any questions?"

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "Not often enough," I tittered.
I proceeded to kiss her down the length of her neck, onto her shoulder, nestling myself into her. She was beautiful.

(Oh, ho! Mr. Johnny!)
Robin: "Eh, I can get changed by myself," I muttered, half-asleep in his arms, waving a hand about as if it wasn't a problem, "Angie, you have permission to choose my outfit, though."
And with a contented 'yay', she ran off back into the house, storming up the stairs without even noticing the fancy-pants in the doorway.
Letting out a sigh, I looked up to him, a small frown on my face. Honestly, at that moment I felt really bad.
"Sorry," I murmured, fluttering my eyes up at him, "I did overshoot it."

Olly: Lunch with the "Queen of the North"? Must be her mom.
"Ah, thanks," I smirked, taking the books from out of his arms, "but yeah. What's the address?"
That was probably the best question to ask.
Looking down to the books, I smirked; she did say that she would drop them off. I didn't expect the express delivery.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I let out a little sigh and bit my lip, wasn't I the one to be giving him a punishment?
"Hey there.. slow down a bit.. Let's wait until we can find a proper place... I am not a fan of sleeping in parks.. though I might be able to make an exception..." I said, murmuring the last bit.

(Well he is a guy.. I am only trying to be realistic... >> in a story of magic and fairytales... )
Johnny:
I nodded and carried her up the stairs, creeping by her brother silently.
"You did, you should try to know more about what your doing before you do it." I said, oh so scholarly.
I was trying my best to be the unattached helpful guy, I loved her but the right moment wasn't here yet.

"4356 Freeforest road, the gated driveway. There will be valet parking. Anything else sir?" The messenger replied.
Maybe this was going to be an easy one after all.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: She was telling a man to wait? That was like telling a Brit not to drink tea or a French man to not eat cheese; it was impossible.
"Tsk, fine," I murmured, peering back up to her.
Peeling myself away from her, my hands continued to roam around her hair, gazing into her bright green stare.

Robin: I felt like I was being told off by a teacher or a father, enough to make me fidget with my hands in my lap and take my eyes off of him. My cheeks blushed, feeling more worse with every second that passed.
"Sorry..."

Olly: "Yeah...just one second."
Running down the hallway, he slipped down the laminated wood flooring to the chest of draws. Settling the books down on the side, he slid out a drawer, taking out a pen. He ran back, a grin on his face.
"Yeah, just repeat that for me, please, if you wouldn't mind?" I asked again, feeling a little bit bad for that, "And would you like a cup of tea or anything?"
It never hurt to be polite.

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I blushed a bit, but the pleasure of having my hair played with made it a bit hard to concentrate and even harder to resist him. Finally I sighed and pushed myself against him and started kissing the nape of his neck and then his throat.
"Your punishment is no touching allowed..." I murmured evilly.

Johnny: I sighed, a bit taken back by her apology.
"Don't.. Don't be sorry.. I just don't like it when you scare me like that, it makes me worry.." I said feeling a lot like a mother hen.
Great.
That's the best image every boyfriend want to project.
I could almost hear the dying screams of my love life as they faded away.

The messenger almost smiled but shook his head, he was a simple messenger, nothing more. He didn't have the stature nor the power to be able to drink tea with a suitor of the princess.
The guy was nice though, he seemed down to earth.
He repeated the invitation and the address clearly.
"Remember it's black tie... uh.. okay buddy, here's a hint cause you've been pretty nice, the queen likes a well dressed man, not a boasting man but one that can exude class without being showy about it. That and she loves to see men in the color red. As the princess... well I can't help you much with her.. she's nice but she sure is weird.... but you didn't hear that from me."
With that the messenger glanced around and snapped.
That snap opened his portal and his slipped in and vanished without a trace.
Well.
He did leave a feather behind.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: My hands stopped midstroke, a look of mock shock on my face.
"No touching? That's horrible," I frowned, fluttering my eyes at her as began to kiss my neck.
Hey, that might not have been so bad.
I couldn't stop myself from breaking into a smirk, pleasure riving through my body. It was hard to think that she had a better control of my emotions than I did of them.

Robin: I had to clamp a canine into my lip to stop me from cooing at him. Why did he have to be so sweet?
"Everybody worries about the Parlors, Johnny. You haven't seen us on full power yet...and you're never going to, hopefully."
With a small chuckle, I rested my head against his arm as we entered my room. I was pretty damn comfortable. I might have to lose the ability to walk more often, that way I can have him carrying me around more often...
...or would that be something that Britney Spears would do?
On second thoughts, maybe not.

Olly: "Black tie, well-dressed but not boasting, wear red..."
I scribbled down all of the important details, making sure to circle the notes about how Lila's mom liked her men to dress. I had to make sure that I impressed her, otherwise...
Otherwise me and Lila wouldn't...
Wait, was I falling for her?
I was suddenly caring about impressing her parents.
That meant...
Oh, wow.
"Thanks, mate," I smirked, not realising that he had already gone, "That might just have made my...day."
It was then when I looked up to see him no longer there but instead the feather that was in his hat on the floor. I bent over and picked it up, studying it for a few moments. It was pretty nice, shining an array of colours when it caught the light.
"I'll keep that."
And with that, I shut the door and walked back in.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I kissed up his jawline and finally made it to his lips.
"Isn't it?" I murmured between kisses, "Wipe that smirk off your face or I'll think of something worse..." I whispered into his ear.

Johnny:
I sighed and carefully kicked open her door to see an ever so excited Angie covered in clothing on Robin's bed. I placed Robin next to her, carefully, and walked to the door.
"Have fun... Good luck Robin."

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "What could be worse than not being able to touch you?" I asked, the smirk still prominent on my lips, "And this cannot be erased when you're doing that."
It was true, though. I was physically having to stop myself from having to caress her back. It was near enough impossible.

Finish it off in a sec

[bookcrazI]

kk

[OpenTheDoor]

:O That's Palkia and someone who looks a lot like you. Did you draw that and if so wow!
And sorry, my mum kinda jumped on me and stole the laptop off of me to watch a DVD...

Robin: My eyes fluttered a little bit as he settled me down on the bed. But as he walked out and shut the door, I had to blush a bit.
"So... How did you guys meet?"
I turned to look at Angie who was putting out different dresses with matching belts and shoes to go with them, and I had to say, she was pretty good at it; there were some which I actually would wear.
"It was at a débutante ball which I went to with Molly. She was getting a load of attention from the guys because she screwed up her ankle. He was standing in the corner by himself, looking real nice in a suit, and I made up a load of nonsense about a painting that was there to try and impress him... Little did I know that he had Googled it mere minutes before. Then, we just talked."
With a shrug, my little sister pulled an 'awww' face, taking a few seconds out from choosing the best outfit for me now. Meanwhile, I finally, but really quite slowly, slipped out of my sodden dress, kicking it to the corner of my room for me (or Mom) to pick up later and put into the washing basket.
I did still have some energy...
"I'm stuck between this one and this one," she sighed, pointing to two of the laid out outfits, "Pick which one you prefer."
At that time, I didn't care too much. Just as long as I looked somewhat alright and not like I had just been pulled through a hedge backwards, I was cool with it.
"This one, thanks," I nodded, picking up a dress that I hardly ever wore due to the fact that I thought that I had nothing go with it.
And after a bit, I was dressed in my new outfit, and I had to say, I was pretty damn pleased with it. So, after trudging to the bathroom to throw my old dress into the wash, I let out a sleepy sigh.
I needed some coffee.

[bookcrazI]

np
And thanks I did draw it myself <3 and it is a self portrait
I posted it on deviant art first

Molly:
"Oh.. there are things much worse.." I murmured pressing myself closer to him.
I wrapped my arms around him and with a little kiss on the cheek I bit his ear lightly.
"So much worse.." I whispered.

Johnny:
I sat on the couch downstairs and watched Olly grin over a piece of paper but frown occasionally, it was like he was having a conversation with himself.
It was a bit weird but the strangest part was that he was holding a very pretty feather and he examined it every so often.
"Uh... Olly?"

[OpenTheDoor]

It's pretty damn epic. And cool, I've got a user on there but I never put anything on there; my scanner's too rubbish

Fergie: "Ah, you bitch," I hissed through gritted teeth, still restraining myself from doing anything which I would regret doing in public, "I'm getting you when we get back, you know that? You better get yourself ready."
Inside, I was loving it. She had a way...

Olly: Looking up from the paper and the very pretty feather, I raised my brow. I didn't even notice him there. Oh sugar. He was going to think that I was a weirdo...
Try and act casually, Olly.
"Yeah?" I asked, "What's up?"

[bookcrazI]

TEEEEEEELLLLLL MEEEEEEE YOUR USERNAME!! I took a picture of it- my scanner sucks cow nipples.. :/

Molly:
I laughed, evilly, and continued to kiss him, I let my hands travel under his shirt.My hands warmed up pretty fast against his hot back, it was nice.
"Hmmm... And when will that be..hmm?"

Johnny:
I raised an eyebrow and guessed.
"Is it a girl?"

[OpenTheDoor]

The name's MarkerPen but I have no stuff, I don't think. But its pretty awesome. I prefer Dialga to Palkia, though hehe

Fergie: Ah, her hands were freezing!
This is real torture.
Even more so than the no-touching.
Grrr, Molly.
"Tonight, behind closed doors, where I can do what I like to you," I chuckled, "and you can't do anything to stop it."

Olly: "...maybe."
Well, this was a little bit awkward.
"I've been invited to have lunch with Lila's mom and the other two suitors, and I'm just trying to think about what I was going to wear...but this is between you and me."

Robin: "And me."
Standing in the doorway, I couldn't help but smirk at my brother. He was so sweet, it was unbelievable, and how he was now blushing?
Padding over to the sofa, I took a seat next to Johnny, finally glad that I was sitting down. My head still didn't feel right, still spinning slightly, but at least I didn't have to walk; plodding down the stairs was hard enough for me. I rested my head on his shoulder, trying to steady it as well as I could.
"Don't worry, hun. I won't say anything," I winked.

[bookcrazI]

...WAR TIME :p

Molly:
I paused mid kiss, "Oh, really? Says the guy who is letting himself be punished.."
I shrugged and brought the kiss level up.
Lets make it difficult for him to think...

Johnny: "Yeah, I'll second that... Good luck... her mom's a bit... well... eccentric I guess." I said.
I frowned a bit, concerned about Robin's low level of energy.
It might just be from the spell, she used a high level one.


(time skip..?)

[OpenTheDoor]

However, saying that, Croconaw is the best pokémon

And yeah, when to?

[bookcrazI]

The next day- we can assume that Johnny put Robin to bed and then he left after she fell asleep and Molly and Fergie snuck back to Fergie's place and she left the next morning while he was asleep.
She left a note though..
Good?
