Second Story Bookstore

" You two seem to be Rei" Joseph nods

"We seem to be," Ace nodded.

"We're not," Rei said, frowning. "We haven't been for years and you still seem to think we are. Why? I'll never know. One too many of your 'adventures' or something."

"Maybe we should just go for a drink Mister Ace!" Joseph smiles patting Ace on the back. "We don't seemed to be liked here."

"She treats her customers worse than prisoners!" Ace frowned. "But that's okay, cause I'm going to slowly pick out a book and keep her from throwing us out."

Rei took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Fine, whatever," she said grabbing a nearby book without bothering to look at it. She sat down and opened it. "Just don't do anything to wreck the place."

"Yeah, friends." Joseph nodded.

Ace picked up a book on dating. "Please," Ace laughed. "I could write this book."

Ace's eyes suddenly were replaced by stars. "I should write this book! Ace's guide to picking up chicks!"

"That would be a horrible book," Rei muttered. "Assuming you got past the table of contents."

Joseph gets a light in his eyes. "I would read that book mister Ace! You must do it!"

"I know! Women all over the world will thank me! And it will have a mighty table of contents, Rei is correct," Ace smiled. "And someday she'll be here selling that book!"

Rei sighed and covered her eyes with her right hand. "Idiots," she muttered.

Ace walked out. He now had a mission.

[Tired~ Done RP-ing tonight]

"Finally! I actually found the store!" Amelia walked up to the bookstore and felt really proud, she had passed by this store a few days ago, but earlier this morning she couldnt remember its location. Hm.. all i have to do now is to wait for Zane to arrive... Or should i take a look all by myself? She decided to wait a little longer for him to arrive.

Zane walked up to the bookstore, wondering if Amelia's in already or not.
After all, she suddenly just left and he wasn't sure if she even remembered. But it's not like he had better things to do.

When he reached the second floor, he saw her by the door. "Oi."

"Zane!" She smiled a big goofy smile. "You actually came! Cool, i thought you wouldnt come." She bowed really quick. She didnt know how to greet him. Shaking hands would be too formal and hugging would be too much.

He smiled at her and waved lazily. As he passed Amelia, he patted her head and opened the door for her.

"Well, I wasn't sure if you're going to come but I had no other plans anyway."

She laughed a little "thanks. i apprecialte it." She walked into the store and stopped for a second. "nice." at the very left of the room she saw a sign with the name Alchemy book. "so,are you going to look for some books?" she started to walk to the left.

He closed the door quietly and followed behind her. "Hm," he looked at the signs. "None in particular, really."

He noticed that they were going to the Alchemy section and he smiled a bit. "You're really dedicated to learning alchemy, hm, Amelia?"

"Ah okey." She looked at the books in the shelves, hoping that something would be interesting. "well, yes. There is no need for me to give up now."

She found a small purple book which was stuck inbetween the other books. She dragged it out and looked at its cover. "Oh, this is my first time holding in a book with a cover full of sparkles." She laughed some. "What do you think about it, nice huh?" She held the book so Zane could see its cover.

Zane walked towards her and stopped beside Amelia. He took a random book into his hands. "I see," he flipped it open. "That's good dedication."

He side-glanced at the book she was referring to but had to fully look at it the second time when he noticed it was weird.

It was sparkling and he looked at Amelia as if she's weird - well, she really is weird. What did I expect?

"It... fits you."

Amelia got kinda happy when he said that. aw, mabye he thinks im sparkting today! thats nice of him! "thank you!" She smiled, turned the book and looked some at its back. hm.. interesting.

Zane smiled at her innocence. "So what's the book about?"

"On the back it says: Are you searching for the best information about Alchemy? Not that normal information that you can find everywhere? If thats the case, congratulations, you found the right book. This book is based on real life experiences and facts about alchemy that no one eles have written about before. This is the worlds first, and only book about secret alchemy." Amelia face light up and she smiled. "This book seems to be the right book for me."

Zane looked at her. "Are you sure that's authentic?" He kinda doubted it - the sparkling, glittery design made him feel more suspicious. "You have to be careful, you know."
