The Showers: Zandra and Gel

[gel413]

Gel Smiled. "Yes...you have to see Cloe with her boyfriend. He's a great guy and truth be told, I'd totally date him if they weren't dating." She shrugged and went to her wardrobe once more, taking out two robes, her personal pink one, and an extra purple one she had taken from the clothes store. "Here, She tossed the robe to Zandra," Now, follow

Zandra rested the purple robe on her arm and stared down at it, she couldn't wait to go home and tell them about the showers. She couldn't wait to go home and tell them a lot of things. Zandra looked around curiously as she followed Gel to the showers; she'd never noticed this part of the mall before.

As Gel opened the door, Zandra stared in amazement at the showers. She was pleasantly surprised as she stepped inside. "I can't wait to tell them about this" she grinned, so does that mean there a showers at home?" she wondered, because she hated having to use bowls of water all the time, something they didn't have a lot of, where is all this water coming from?

Zandra took the towel and face cloth from Gel, "thank you" she smiled. I could get used to this she thought to herself.

Gel smiled as Zandra wanted to tell the others. "well, I'm sure they...." Oh ya...She didn't live in her mall. Zandra had her own. She nodded. "Your welcome. I'm gonna start mine. There's soap and shampoo over in the closet." She went and fetched her favorite. Fruit scented shampoo and a nice vanilla soap. She went into the shower area and turned on her shower. She went behind the wall near the second shower and began to change facing the wall. she slipped on her rober and checked to see if her shower was hot yet. It was and she smiled. Taking off her jewelry and placing it with her old clothes, she carefully slipped out of her robe and into the shower. The water felt nice. She loved taking showers, but she always took them too long. She had to remember that someday, there'd be no water. She washed her hair and let it stand for a few moments as she began to wash herself.

Zandra walked to the closet and smiled as she saw the selection of soap and shampoo, she chose a lavender bar of soap. Zandra walked back to the shower area ad turned on the shower just as Gel had told her to and then began to undress. Zandra slipped her robe on and left her clothes in a neat pile. She took her earrings and bracelets off and placed them on top of the pile of clothes. She glanced down at her wedding ring and slid it along her finger to take it off, but stopped and slid it back on again.

Zandra picked up the soap and walked to her shower, holding her hand out. She closed her eyes and felt the beads of water against her hand; it was warm, running water... something she hadn't felt against her skin for a long time. Zandra carefully slipped out of her robe and stepped into the shower. Although everything was a mess, somehow the shower made her feel a little better. As she stood under the shower, ducking her head out of the way of the way in fear of making her hair dye run she began washing herself with the soap, if only

[gel413]

Gel had let the water hit her for a few moments and then realized they had to use it sparingly. She turned it off as she ran the shamppo through her hair, making it foamy up and then having it sit while she began to shave her legs and under arms. After five minutes she turned the water back on and then washed the shampoo out and finished shaving and then she applied a quick conditioner and rinised it out. She made sure she was entirely clean before turning the water off and stepping out naked and grabbing her towle and drying herself off behind the wall and then slipping into her robe and bending over and putting her hair up in the towel. "Zandra, are you done? We can't shower for too long?" She stayed in her area, not wanting to interfere with Zandra's privacy.

[_zandra_]

Zandra had already stepped out of the shower, and had dried herself with her towel when she heard Gel's voice. She quickly slipped into her robe and began using her towel to dry the mass off brown hair at the back of her head. "I'm done, I'll be out in a minute" she called.

Zandra sighed, now she was out of the shower, things were back to exactly how they were before. She was still stuck in the same mall, with the same people who were supposed to be her friends, but they weren't the same people she knew. That's what she liked about Gel; at least she didn't know Gel from before... so she didn't see a change in her.

Zandra walked out from her shower area, "Gel, where are you?"

[gel413]

Gel was suprised Zandra was out before her. She made sureall of her clothing was in order and no jewelry was missing. She smiled and walked out as Zandra questioned where she was. "Right here Zandra." She gave her a friendly smile. "Enjoy your shower?" She asked kindly as she went to the mirror and took the towel off her head and her long light brown locks fell down her back. She tussled it a bit before finding a large hair clip and putting it up. She sighed and realized she forgot her box of soaps and masks and Makeup. "I'll be right back, alright? I need to go and get my kit." Gel didn't wait for a response and she ran off to her room

[_zandra_]

Zandra nodded as Gel asked if she enjoyed her shower, "it was great, you have no idea" she spoke. And it had been great, she couldn't even remember the last time she'd had a proper shower.

"Okay" Zandra said quietly as she watched Gel disappear out of the shower room. Zandra sighed and looked around cautiously, she hated being on here own... especially with things the way they were, people thinking she was an impostor or a freak.

Zandra felt small drops of water at the back of her, she remembered she hadn't dried it properly she was in a rush to come out to Gel. She slowly moved the towel to the back of her neck, first drying the back of her neck and then roughly rubbing her mass of brown hair with the towel. As she dried her hair she walked toward the mirror and stared at her reflection. "I still look like me" she sighed, frowning at her reflection. Zandra stopped drying her hair and felt the top of her head, it was dry, and her pink and blue hair was still intact. She sighed again, before continuing to dry her hair.

[_salene_]

Salene carried Brady from Her Room into the Office Complex, stopping at the shower room door. She thought she heard voices but couldn't be sure, for she thought maybe they could be coming from down the hallway as well. Her thoughts went to May, but no, she'd seen her down in the foyer with Dax when she'd spotted the militia entering the Mall. Salene pushed the door to the shower rooms open and looked around, poking her head around the door, "Gel, Zandra," she said with a smile. She was delighted, not only did Zandra look somewhat happy, applying makeup, but she seemed to be spending time with Gel, who didn't look as freaked out about her as she had last night

[_brady_]

Brady waved her little hand, lifting her head as they entered the room, "Hihi!" she called, glad to see them. They were both so pretty, and they smelled good, everytime Gel walked into the room, it was like the best soft smell walked in behind her. "What'cha doin?" she asked, craning her neck to see around them, what was all of that stuff? "Are you coloring too? I was coloring, but Salene wanted to find you instead," she informed them, tilting her head a bit and giving them a soft smile.

[gel413]

Gel smiled, "Not a problem Zandra. ANy thing you need, you can come to me." She finished applying the cream and then reached into the makeup draw and fished out a nice cranberry eyeshadow and began to apply it, stopping when she heard Salene. "Oh Hi Salene. HI Brady. No, we aren't coloring silly. We're putting on makeup. You've already got some on." She rolled her eyes at the meeting, how boring. "Sure, I guess. What's going on?"

[_zandra_]

Zandra began applying eyeliner just as she heard Salene's voice, she glanced over at the door "hey Sal, Brady" she smiled, before returning to look at her reflection in the mirror. Zandra carefully ran the eyeliner just under her eye but froze as she heard Salene talking about a meeting.

She sighed and putting the cap back on the eyeliner "Sal what makes you think I want to go to another stupid -" she stopped, remembering where she was. such a stupid thing to say she cringed before smiling awkwardly at Salene and put the eyeliner back in the drawer of the case, "I'm finished in here anyway, I'll just go get dressed" she spoke quickly picking up the pile of clothes she'd been wearing before her shower, and her jewellery.

Zandra headed toward the door, passing Salene and Brady, she stopped at Brady's question "Gel's wrong" Zandra paused lowering her voice, "it's kind of like colouring maybe your auntie Zandra will show you when you're older" Zandra spoke winking at Brady, before disappearing out the door.
