Welcome to Gaia! ::

Trianna yawned, looking towards her big sister with a quirked brow. After seven years, looking at her bigger sister still gave her joy and overwhelming happiness. Yet, with years of worry and tears, her expressions seemed accostomed to looking solemn and somber, almost as if she was brooding over something secretly. Her ice blue popsicle was thinning out as she sucked on it lightly. Up to today, the sisters were as close as they could get, so they were obviously seen everywhere together outside and inside. Just like Aubrey, she was also wearing a rather fancy-looking dress. It clung to her upper body in a backless corset and draped in a silky, flowing fashion that bunched from her tiny little waist and dropped down to her ankles. With a strap that twisted around the back of her neck, her black, swirling tattoos were easily revealed. A custom made belt hung loosely from her waist with crosses hanging down from silver chains. A silk black choker was layered over her skinny neck multiple times, a silver cross gleaming from its center. Taking a small bite from her popsicle, sheglanced at her sister from the corner of her eyes. "Hm? Because of you, missy. Now stop complaining of how much better I look than you and pick somewhere to waste your money." Trianna answered, giving her a toothy, innocent grin that shimmered with a straight, white teeth. She loved to just be around her sister, much less interact with her.

Trianna giggled, twining her fingers together behind her back. Swaying, she bit her bottom lip and looked at the ground for a moment. Looking up, her gleaming red eyes looked at her big sister, who was just an inch taller than her. Feeling the elbow press into her dipped side, Trianna squeeled with a grin. Normally she wouldn't have giggled or even smiled with her friends, but she had such an incredibly strong bond with Aubrey that anything was possible for this brave, independent girl that created such a fake outer shell of herself for oters that knew none of her past to see and love. Both girls seemed to have a bounce in their step, yet Trianna favored more to drifting as if she was light as a feather. Trianna shook her head lightly, flipping her blonde bangs out of her gleaming eyes. As her arms dropped to her sides, she took a few steps forward then stopped when Aubrey turned around. "Yeah right, you know you wouldn't leave me here. You need someone to tell you what looks good on you." she remarked with a devious grin that winkled her nose. Holding out her hands, she pulled a foot forward and leaped the short distance towards her sister. Grabbing her hands, she twirled around and let go of her right hand. "Since you're so indecisive, I'll choose where to go." she stated defiantly with an important looking grin as she tugged her sister into a clothing shop.

"You know it." Trianna said indignantly with a small shake of her head. Still clutching to her sister's hand, she pushed open the door to the nearest clothing shop that looked promising to have a good selection of dresses. Of course it was expected for them to wear dresses, they were princesses. Trianna had more of a sophisticated, royal style in her dresses, while Aubrey was more of a short cut funky type of style liking girl. But then again, most of Aubrey's outfit was chosen by Trianna, so used her imagination and went wild with creativity. Besides, she wasn't the one wearing them, and Aubrey seemed to like them enough to wear them. The small ding of the bell above the door indicated that someone had entered. The store was cool, vibrant, and very up to date. It wasn't at all what Trianna expected from this small town, but there were alot of surprises in these sort of places. Immediately a red silk dress popped out at her. Rushing over with Aubrey still clinging to her hand, she grabbed the dress by the hanger it was on and held it out to Aubrey as if scrutinizing the outfit. "Try this one on." she ordered, ignoring her earlier comment. Ushering her sister to the dressing rooms, she gave her a small pat on the tush towards the small stalls. Trianna turned on the heel of her high-heels, taking a few hesitant steps as she browsed through the racks fo a moment.

Trianna stopped at a sales rack, pushing dress after dress away so she could see the next one. She just loved the sound of the metal hanger sliding against the metal rack and plastic hangers clanging together. It was an odd favor, but she knew that many other people like it, also. Both of the girls had been deprived of beautiful things that they had grown accostomed to in the childhoods for so long, that to be able to spend money without care once again kept the girls enthralled and their credit cards running hot. Dress after dress, she searched through the dresses. Ones that she found suitable for either of the sisters were now draped over her left arm as she pushed the dresses aside with her right hand. A satin scarlet dress drew her attenion immediately. The top was a V-neck, swooping down low in an overlapping bust syle. The bottom was long, fraired with silk and strands of glittering see through material. There were stripes of black crossin diagnally from the right shoulder all the way down to the left side hem of the floor-sweeping dress. Grabbing it for herself, she finally looked up to find her sister already dressed and sporting the short red dress. Nodding, she gave a re-assuring smile and sorted through the dresses heaved over her arm. Handing a load to her sister, she took quite a few for herself and slipped into the changing room next to Aubrey's.

Crack!

The loud noise of the two bokken connecting sounded through the dojo as Ito blocked an attack from the trainer. He padded along the matted floor with his barefeet and his greyish-blonde hair blew back as he lunged for an attack. Crack! The same loud noise sounded as the trainer blocked the strike, redirecting it and landing his bokken straight into Ito's ribs. He dropped to the floor and clutched his side in pain as he gasped for breath. His hand clutched the white gi as he tried to regain his breath. "Had enough?" The trainer asked curiously as he rested the wooden sword on the back of his neck. "Not close to enough..." Ito responded. "I'm not going to stop until I beat you..." He said simply. The white blindfold over his eyes was drenched in sweat from all the training, but he was not ready to stop. He caught his breath and stood back up, holding his bokken loosely, letting it sway side to side before attacking again, this time breaking through the trainer's bokken and connecting with his ribs. "Looks like I win..." He said witha light smile as he offered his hand to his trainer, who was now clutching his gi in much the same way Ito had.

Just as Aubrey slid out of the dressing room, her sister popped out, posing and making funny faces.She half asked herself if she was doing this on account that Trianna had actually seen Aubrey posing just the way she did earlier.In any case, Aubrey simply laughed and began walking towards the register.The many dresses in her hands blocked her view so much that she started going in the wrong direction.Just as she successfully put her chin on top of the pile, Trianna's hands grabbed Aubrey's clothes and put them with her own."Hey!"She shouted as she stomped her right foot down."I don't need any help..I can do it myself!"The whole time she was whining Trianna was scurrying off to the register counter where the cashier's face seemed to lighten with excitment.They must have worked on commission to be so happy about a few, well a few to the two, dresses.

Quickly scampering to Trianna's side she heard a sudden crash.Her eyes clicked from each corner of the store, only to see some people staring at a blank wall.She supposed it came from next store.What a strange town to allow a loud, crash-making shop to be next to a shopping facility.A sudden knowing all-cocky voice blew into her ear, it was her sister's of course.So without a word, she grabbed the bags with one hand and her sister's arm with the other and began to drag hear outside.Once outside, she casually walked over to the next shop, peaked her head in, and turned to grin at her sister."In here, that's where to!"She gave a slight chuckle then closed the door."Unless you're to scare to go in to any place I pick out."

Trianna pulled the credit card from her bra and handed the warm rectangular piece of plastic to the cashier with a sweet smile. Turning towards her sister once more, she winked at Aubrey with a lush grin. They seemed to comunicate quiety through gestures and expressions, but then again all people with strong bonds did. Tapping her nails against the counter, she turned back towards the cashier to notice him staring at her tattoos while bagging the dresses. Looking down, she gave a fake grin to him and grabbed the five stuffed bags as well as the credit card. Replacing the credit card back to where it was previously, she looked up when she heard a large crash. As soon as they stepped outside, Trianna put on a dramatic expression. "Oh no! We're going to die!" but went quiet as soon as Aubrey pulled her inside. Dropping the bags slyly, Trianna heard the trainer's words to the odd looking guy. Grinning, she took a small step forwards. Jumping, she latched onto the trainer's back. "Don't let your guard down! You're too soft!" she exclaimed before pushing herself away from the trainer. Landing easily on her feet, she huffed. "I'd be disgraced to have you as my trainer." she spat, glaring at the trainer with her body held confident and dominating. People who took things too seriously sickened her. She's grown up around it since she was nine and had more than enough of it then.

"Get away from me you crazy little bitches!" The trainer shouted and wound up flat on his back with Ito's foot pressing hard into his throat. "Never ever call a woman by such a disrespectful term again... Do you understand me...?" Ito said quietly, his face grave. "Y-yes... Of course!" The trainer's strained voice answered. "Alright then! Now if you could just apologize, I'll let you up!" Ito said, his face turning bright and happy. "Sorry..." The trainer said quietly. Ito removed his foot from the man's throat and turned to the girl who had greeted him. "And hello to you too miss, how are you today?" He asked politely with his usual smile.
