Lili

Monica brought up a good point. "Hmm." She stepped back inside and grabbed her purse--eventually she would have remembered it--and went into the kitchen. She stuffed a couple kitchen knives inside it, sleeves over the blades, and added another thing of mace just in case. "There," she said, jiggling the bag, "Should be good. Though I doubt the monster from last night will come out. As I said...though you probably didn't hear, but I said that it seemed like a night-time monster. If you hear any music, just run the other direction." Lili ruffled her hair and went back outside.

"Goodbyeeeee, Saaaam!" she called.

"I'd take one of his guns, but he hates it when I do that," she told Monica when they were outside. The warm sun beat down on them, and Lili smiled. "Today is my kind of day!" she exclaimed, "Let's go shopping!" She took Monica's arm and pranced down the steps to the dusty sidewalk. "What's your favorite store? Do you want to get purses or shoes? What about scarves? Not that you need them here, but they're an essential fashion accessory, ya know?"

Any hostility Lili might have felt towards Monica had pretty much disappeared. The presence of another female was now a welcome one, rather than threatening. Now they could do girl stuff together!
