Standing in the long, snaking line in front of Ben and Jerry's, the short-haired girl called Zanna let out a sigh. Sure, she wanted the ice cream--of course she wanted it--but it was taking a long time. Of course, she couldn't complain too much. She'd worked at an ice cream place when she'd been a freshman, and had hated it. People yelled at her. People got mad at her.
At her.
As though it were her fault that there was a huge line to get the ice cream.
So no, she wasn't going to get annoyed. At least not with the workers at this store. If someone else began doing something that was the slightest bit annoying, though, they should probably watch out. Or run. Either way worked for her.
That fine day, Zanna wore a form-fitting black t-shirt with the image of a stick bird and the simple word Mae--a band, for those of you who don't know. On her lower half was a pair of jeans that were only beginning to shred at the bottom. The color was a pale blue, on the verge of being white, and a checkered seatbelt-belt was looped through the loops. Pretty? She kinda thought so. [/size][/color]

"Pass it here Ashton!"Antony yelled running down the other side of the mall they were at. Ashton threw the football causing several people to duck down and shout at them. Anthony and Ashton didn't give a care though. Grabbing the football Antony jumped onto a bench running over it and jumping down as Ashton made his way through the Ice Cream crowd. Throwing the ball back to Ashton they saw the cops coming. "Ashton go right!"Antony yelled motioning straight with his head. Ashton nodded and ran forward ducking into the crowd as Antony ran back wards into the crowd they had been in.
Today Anthony wore a pair of light washed jeans with black vans, the laces of course were lime green. On his upper body was a hot pink shirt with a teddy bear on it, a brown teddy with a lime green hat on, a black rose in hand, er paw. Of course the shirt was skin tight, as always. Over that was a black hoodie, with a hot pink hood. Keeping up the boy's pants, was a lime green belt, over that belt to cover it and to add a emo-ish edge to him was a black belt. The belt was also studded with silver studs two in a row, of course the studs went all the way around. This belt was at an angle, so only a bit of his lime green belt shown through.
Ashton, if you had been able to locate him you would have seen he had on a shirt like Anthonys only lime green with a teddy bear in a hot pink hat. Over that was a black hoodie with a grey hood and the same pair of jeans, as Ant wore, because well, they were his. The boys shared alot of the same clothes, what can I say? On his waist were two belts that were hot pink, over that one was a rainbow studded black belt going at an angle. On Ashton's feet were a pair of black vans with hot pink laces and on Ashton's head, to keep his hair from showing was a black beanie with a silver teddy on it.
Why were the two boy's playing football in the mall? Cause they knew they could get away with it without getting into trouble. How did they know this? Because they were Anthony and Ashton Conan, the sons of the master of trouble. They could find a way out of anything. If that is, they put their heads together and thought about it long enough. Oh yes, the two were trouble makers that only came out, when they were bored, had no one to hang with, and when they were together.

Hearing yelling and shrieking, the first thing that popped into Zanna's mind was 'Ohdang. Wild dogs in the mall!', but then she realized how dumb that sounded. Or how dumb it would sound, had she actually said it. Luckily for both her and the people around her, though, she'd managed to keep the thought in her head once.
But now that she'd begun thinking on the subject, Zanna had to know what was going on. Her mind churned up numerous possiblities, though all of them were completely impossible--such as one being a polar bear escaped from the zoo. First of all, there wasn't even a zoo close to here, and second of all, if one had managed to make it this far, they would have tranquilized it before it managed to get inside. So that thought had been dismissed as well.
Finally, Zanna figured out that it had to be major pranksters--at least two--and started thinking of all the people she knew. Yes. All...six or seven of them. The most prankster-ish ones in her mind were Ash and Ant, but she never knew. Plus, it didn't necessarily have to be a person she'd met before.
"Hey. What can I get you?" Whoa. She was in front of the line already? Awesome. "May I have a small Cherry Garcia?" She'd planned on trying something new today, but she didn't. With B+J's, it seemed she was always stuck in the same rut. Cherry Garcia. Cherry Garcia. The one time she hadn't gotten it, she'd hated the kind she had chosen. It was pretty much bad luck to stray from this routine. [/size][/color]

Anthony and Ashton finally found each other in the other's company again. "Dude, did the cops get you?"Ashton asked as they walked back to the ice cream place. "No!"Antony said laughing as he waved at Zanna. "Zanna!"Ashton yelled laughing and pushing the football to Antony. Grabbing the ball Ashton went long as Anthony threw it to him giggling as the boy caught it. "Go Long!"Ash yelled as Ant ran back some and over to the left jumping up in the air and catching the ball. Walking back to Ashton they ignored the looks from old people, or not really old people, but people older than themselves, and some looks of admiration from pranksters that didn't have the guts, or balls to play football in a mall. Hell this was easy compared tot he other things the boy's did at time. Tossing the ball back and forth in easy catches the boys laughed as people stared, being the attention wasn't half bad with someone to share it.

Zanna grinned. She was right about them being the most mischevious. Or, of course, they were the most mischevious right now. It'd probably fluctuate over time, but...right now. Currently. Yea. That's what she meant of course.
Noticing the wave, she waved back, and began eating her ice cream. She jumped as her name was shouted, but then felt rather stupid. She smiled again, finding a bench nearby. It was only these two people that would play football in a mall. Okay. Other people probably had, but these were the only two that hadn't gotten caught.
Would they get caught? She didn't know. She doubted it, considering they were pretty sneaky, but it was still a possibility. Everyone fell eventually. [/size][/color]

Walking over to Zanna the two boys sat on either side of her grinning. "Ashton?" "Yes?" "Soccer?" "Zoo!" "You're a genius Ash!" It was a conversation back and forth between the two boys with each word the hushed tone and extreme excitement rushed through showing on their faces as they thought up the next place to stir up a problem. Turning to Zanna the boys laughed. "Hey!"They said together laughing at how they could finish the thought of each other without actually knowing the thought going through the other's head. "Cops are back... Hey kid!"Ashton said this causing a boy to turn around throwing the football to him he chuckled. "That was mean Ash!"Antony said as the boy looked at the football wide eyed. "Fast on my feet more like it, how are you today Zanna?"Ashton asked a grunt of approvement coming from Anthony.

Zanna listened to the words being shot back and forth, not quite sure what they were talking about. It was amusing, though, so she didn't bother to stop it, and instead continued to eat her ice cream, glancing from boy to boy as each of them spoke.
She couldn't help but smirk as the ball was tossed to the innocent kid, but felt slightly bad for the boy. Of course, if the cops were smart at all, they would notice that the boy was alone, and that there had been two boys throwing the ball back and forth. 'Course, policeman weren't really the brightest people around, most of the time.
"I'm fine. I was just hanging around the mall. And now I've got icecream!" she said, grinning as she held the small cup up almost proudly. "How are you two?" she asked, raising her brow slightly. [/size][/color]

The officer, who had lost track of both the boy and Anthony and Ashton had given up and was standing up in the center of the crowd. unaware that Anthony and Ashton were both studying him, watching for anything they could do to get in some trouble. "Sheizakopf."Ashton said tapping the side of his head which was propped up by his hand. Anthony crossed his legs pulling at his jacket sleeves and leaned back arms crossed over his chest. "Icecream is the best. Bored, thats why we're here... Causing problem. Nein Ashton, its Dummkopf Knabe!"Anthony said in a 'father-scolding' type voice with a looke of amusement on his face. "He called him shithead, I corrected him, Blockhead, or fool. Double meaning word, and Knabe means son, nein, you should take it as no."Anthony said smiling at Zanna so she understood what he had said to Ashton.

Zanna listened to their conversation, trying to figure out what they were saying. Needless to say, the only words she picked up were the ones spoken in english. She wondered momentarily what language they were speaking in, then figured that it was some part of some culture they came from. German or something? Wahoo.
She nodded, trying to remember what she'd just been told. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work. The only languages she spoke well were english, spanish, and a teeny bit of french. English, of course, because it was her first language. Spanish because it was just so easy to understand and french because her sister had been trying to help her learn it.
Sisters really did help sometimes, especially when they said things in ways that would make you understand and remember a foreign language. Other than that, they tended to be pains in the butt, but they were still awesome. Zanna would most definitely rather have a sister than be an only child, even if that sister did steal the limelight oh-too-often. [/size][/color]
