Delilah pulled up to the Thriftway in her mustang. She got out and could help but notice how out of place it looked among the other cars in front of the store.
She wandered for a bit, stopping to check out a few cute clothing items. Then she wandered to the aisle with the shampoos, conditioners, body washes and other various soaps and was disappointed by the selection. Maybe I'll just call Mom back and have her pick it up somewhere on their way. She thought.
"Is there anything I can help you find hun?" A woman asked from the end of the aisle.
"Oh no, just looking." Delilah smiled and the woman seemed startled for a moment by her perfect smile, but then quickly left the aisle when she realized she was staring awkwardly at her. Delilah giggled quietly. She scanned the shelf for what she wanted once more, and then headed over to the hardware section. She needed to grab some nails to hang up her rather large collection of artwork she had acquired throughout the years.

OOC: Yeah so I totally should have just done the Driving Through thread here instead... but my headache is hindering my ability to function... >.<
Rosalie Hale is currently temping Emmett Cullen until we get a permanent player, therefore their posts will be combined when necessary ;D
Rosalie shook her head at Alice and the way she headed into the store seeming like she was on an important mission when it was just for cleaning supplies. Rose figured she must be planning some nervous house cleaning and that Jasper would have his work cut out for him for the evening, trying to keep her from cleaning a hole right through one of Esme's antique tables.
Rosalie and Emmett wandered up and down a couple aisles, their arms around each other, playfully picking on each other and not really paying much attention to anything on the shelves, just waiting for Alice to find all that she needed.

Delilah headed to the checkout after she found the nails and had just got to the register when it hit her that her family would be there tomorrow, and that she hadn't really cleaned the house up, which had been unoccupied for a good 50 years or so before she bought it just last week. Maybe I should have skipped the video games the last few nights. She thought as she headed back towards the cleaning supplies. She really was the queen of wasting time when she didn't have her Mom or Dad pushing her to do something worthwhile.

Alice began grabbing a few bottles of cleaning spray, a couple of cans of Scott's Liquid Gold, a few packages of cloth towels, and replacement sleeves for their Swiffer duster and began loading them up in a little carrying basket.
She was moving so fast that she didn't notice that the basket was weighing down her arm.

Jasper kept up with Alice as she pulled the items off the shelves one by one and placed them strategically in the basket she was carrying. When he finally noticed that it was getting heavy, he stopped her and took the basket from her, but stopped and held up one of the cans of Liquid Gold.
"Alice, you really don't need all of this, do you? Surely Esme still has enough of this in her hallway closet, doesn't she?"
He placed it back in the basket and looked at her contemplatively.

Delilah headed to cleaning supplies aisle, wanting to get back home and get to work on her huge house, so her Mom wouldn't go on about how she had probably spent the whole time sitting around doing nothing when she had 'taught her so much better than that'. When she rounded the corner she stopped just before running into the boy from her Shop class and the quirky short haired girl she had seen him with in the hall.
"Oh. Uh, hi." She said.

Alice quickly turned around and spotted the girl from Jasper's shop class. She smiled as she finally began to memorize the girl's features for future reference.
"Hello. You're in shop with Jasper, aren't you?"
Alice tilted her head a little, trying to calm herself down a little so it wouldn't look like she was in a rush.

"Yeah I am." Delilah said with a smile. "I'm Delilah O'Malley." She said as she offered her hand to Alice, feeling particularly old fashioned in doing so, since in today's world handshakes had become a bit of a thing of the past.

Alice smiled a bit more and took Delilah's hand.
"I'm Alice Cullen. Nice to meet you officially, Delilah. And you already know Jasper... well... in a way."
She let a small, genuine laugh escape as she shook Delilah's hand gently.

Rosalie and Emmett, still with arms around each other came around the corner into the cleaning supplies aisle, wondering what was taking so long when they saw them talking with someone else.
"That's that girl..." Rosalie started.
"Delilah." Emmett said, before Rosalie finished. She gave him a quick questioning look. "We have Algebra together." He explained quickly as they walked towards them.

Delilah laughed. "Yeah I was a little, well more than a little, late to shop this morning." She smiled at them both. "Well I'm glad to finally meet you both officially."
It was then that she saw Emmett come around the corner at the other end of the aisle with the girl that she had seen him with just before their Algebra class. Delilah was glad she no longer blushed, so she could keep the fact that she found Emmett attractive to herself. It was obvious to her that those two were together and Delilah knew there was no way she would ever be able to compete with her, she was absolutely gorgeous, even for a vampire. She threw a quick smile in their direction and went back to talking with Alice and Jasper.
"Planning on some pretty heavy duty cleaning and polishing?" She asked at the sight of what they had in their basket. She wondered if maybe she had finally met someone who could compare to her mother when it came to excessive cleaning and polishing.

Alice noticed that Delilah's attention had been briefly diverted, and she turned her head to see what Delilah had been looking at. When she noticed Emmett and Rosalie coming toward them, she looked back at Delilah. She smiled when Delilah mentioned the cleaning supplies.
"Well, it's not really that our house needs cleaning. It's more of..."
Alice glanced away, trying to think of the right words to explain.

Jasper had glanced back and had spotted Emmett and Rosalie heading toward them. He grinned briefly at Emmett, and then looked back at Delilah as Alice answered her question. He let out a small chuckle and draped an arm around Alice's shoulders.
"It's just something Alice does when she's nervous or stressed."

"Ah. Well if you run out of things to clean at your place, I need my place cleaned tonight too." Delilah said with a giggle. "I'm not a fan of cleaning and tend find any excuse to do just about anything else, well unless it comes to my car. That's the one thing I don't mind cleaning."

Alice laughed as she nudged Jasper.
"It's not like a drug, Jazz."
She looked at Delilah, her smile reaching her eyes for the first time today and kept a friendly tone in her voice as she responded to Delilah.
"We'll see what I can do. I can't do anything today; we've actually got to be getting home, but I'll keep you updated. It was nice meeting you."
Alice smiled again and wrapped an arm around Jasper's arm as he began to lead her toward the registers.

"It was really nice meeting you too. See you tomorrow I suppose." She smiled. When they turned to leave, she turned to the shelves to find what she had come there for, still smiling. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad here in Forks. Yeah she had moved there willingly, but after she had, she doubted her decision a bit, but now she was feeling much better about it.
Delilah grabbed an arm full of cleaning products and headed to the counter to check out, so she could get home, get the house cleaned and hopefully still have some time to have some fun before tackling another day of high school.

Before they made it to Alice, Jasper and Delilah at the other end of the aisle, Alice and Jasper were already on their way to the registers, so they turned and followed them.
"Get your fix?" Emmett joked, looking at the abundance of polish in their basket.

Alice turned her head as Emmett's voice addressed her.
"Shut it. At least I don't go looking for fights and then blame it on something other than myself if I were to lose like someone else we all know."
She looked back as they neared the register and began to help Jasper empty out the basket in front of the cashier.

Jasper let a small grin spread across his lips as Alice teased Emmett and began to take the supplies out of the basket and set them on the cashier's counter. After he and Alice finished, he paid the cashier, picked up all the bags and headed out to Rosalie's car.
"Now now, you two. Let us not start any contests or fights while we're in town, alright? Just wait until we get back to the house."
After setting the bags in the floorboards of the backseat and helped Alice into the front seat, he hopped into the back of the car.
