Oh, man, was Jim ever in a good mood today at the Fiver-Uppers. The island had moved again, and for all the creepiness in the world, nothing was ever going to change the fact that for the first time in ages, the weather was good enough for him to ride his solar surfer to work. Between the chill of the ice age and London's rain, he'd been having ( Read more... )

There was no cheerful working on displays and new sets of cute clothes for Ariel today. Oh, no. Absolutely none of it, though she certainly wished there were ( Read more... )

Oh, boy, did Ariel have her work cut out for her today or what? Naturally, with the sudden drop in weather, she had to go on into the back to pull out a bunch of coats and sweaters and other cute winter wear to set in the front of the shop, and move all the swimsuits and summer dresses backSure, in another week or two she'd have to switch around ( Read more... )

Oh, don't get her wrong; she definitely wanted to, especially since what she managed to explore yesterday left her feeling a little at home, but, really, she figured with the excitement of finally ( Read more... )

Ariel had been feeling like taking it easy today; really, she shouldn't be spending any more money on her clothes. Not for at least another week or so. So she was hanging out at the counter, flipping idly through the fashion magazines for some insight on the upcoming trends and awesome fashions.

While singing, very randomly, some Phil Collins. ( Read more... )
