Deimos tagged along with the Great Danes. "Hmm. Should I get a Sig-Sauer P226 in .357 SIG or a Glock 17 or should I just get a M1 Garand for this case? Or what about the SIG SG 550? Or should I go with a Mossberg 500 shotgun like the one that Strut uses? Or stick with the standard issue Remington 870 and M1911. So many choices." he muttered to himself

Dr. Zanasiu and Strut decided to check on Rime.

Wataru looked at all three different paths, none of them particuliarly interested him, so he decided to accompany Nick to the cafe.

"Okay, let's get moving," Cynder said, charging down the middle path, Spyro wasn't far behind.

Cynder felt a bit daunted as she looked at the map, seeing how hopeless it looked. She carefully avoided looking in the direction Scooby and Spyro headed, not wanting to spoil her own surprise.

"Things seem nice and quiet for the moment, they do." Ducky said looking around a bit.

"Always the best time to relax and such while you can." Douglas said.

We'd better enjoy it." Nani agreed. Lilo was just finising the last of her fries, as were Pleekly and Jummba. "626 and 624 must have gone with party. They'd better get back in one piece..' Jummba said.

 Scooby reached the "magical Gems shop within a few minutes. The store was brightly lit, and a saleperson stood waiting behind a counter. "Welcome to Gen's Magical Jewelry. where our jewelry is guaranteed to have a magical effect on the special lady in your life! If she doesn't say yes, we're doing something wrong!" The saleperson, whose nametag read Jim, smiled at the two customers. "And what can I do for you?"

Spyro looked taken aback by the salesperson's cheerfulness. "Um... we'd just like to look?"

"Okay," Cynder said, following Dixie. She was still trying to think of something to get Spyro, though she admitted that Dixie's default suggestion had a bit of appeal...

no pressure.. I got it" Jim replied cheerfully. "Studies show that at ease customers are more likely to make a purchase.."
_ the first thing Scooby saw were rings.. rings of various shapes and sizes. Some were white gold, others were adorned with diamonds and rubies, and looking at the prices.. well all were very expensive.. "Ro rou rake recial orders?" Scooby Asked.
_
Still stuck?" Dixiie nodded as they entered "Meg's Dress Salon."  A salewoman stood inside. "Welcome to Meg's!' She smiled, in a plastic sort of way. "What can I help you with?"

Spyro noticed Scooby looking at the rings. "Are you planning to get something?"

The dragon went to examine the necklaces. He noticed the prices were pretty high, even though he had no idae what a dollar might be in terms of gold, or gems.

"I won't," Spyro promised.

He frowned and sat down. "Are they really magic?"

' I don't know, to be honest. If Had to guess, then my answer would be yes, they are magic..' Jim smiled. "So you want Black and Green magic gems, do you have a picture of the girl you're getting this for? By looking at the person, I can usually get some idea of how to arrange the gems..." He smiled at Spyro.
_ Scooby Pointed at the Ring with the large Ruby. "Row Ruch?"
"Thats 4700 dollars, but we can give a discount  if you buy another item.."

Meanwhile Dixie and Cunder were looking at various dresses..

"No, I don't," Spyro replied. "She's a black and red dragoness about my size."

He glanced around the store. "How long will a special order take? And can you give us an estimate of the cost?"

He really wasn't too sure about letting the Great Danes pay now, not if it would cost so much.

---------

Cynder glanced around the shop, not really paying much attention to the clothing at all.

Do we have a deal/' Jim said "The necklace will take ten minutes to get ready.

"I'll pay you back," Spyro promised. "I wouldn't want to take advantage of your kindness. After all you're getting me a lot more than just a chunk of meat. I'll take it."

-----

"Um..." Cynder backed away from the salesperon as though it were a grublin. "No, I've really got a schedule I need to keep..."

She stoood on her hindlegs to whisper into Dixie's ear. "What's a makeover?"

'its where they pretty you up, in laymans turns. They put stuff on your eyes, lips and face, to make you more attractive, so that people will notice you, especially guys. ' Dixie repled with a smile. "If these girls are any good at all at makeovers, Spyro will be picking up his jaw off the floor after he sees you. in a good way. I imagine he's trying to find something that will impress you, Cynder..." she then turned to the salespersons "Do you have anything that could help someone fly better. Something for wings like these" She pionted at Cynder's wings. ' The two salespersons looked at each other. "Three rows down to the left of here. 'Al's Flying Gear." the first saleslady said.

Great" Jim smiled.  He opened the counter and picked out the large ruby ring. he then produced a small ring case with a four numeral lock. "This is to help prevent theft" He explaimed. All of our purchases come with these cases, for security reasons. The combination to open them is their original price, for the ring, 4700, for the necklace, 4000. I'll take your card now' he put the ring in the case and closed it and activated the lock, then set it down on the counter. Scooby gave him the credit card, Jim swiped it and a printout was placed in front of scooby. Just sign on the line" Jim said, producing a pen. Scooby Scrawled out his name, and handed it back to Jim. " You keep one of them. Thats your receipt. If you aren't satified within 60 days, and the wedding hasn't been scheduled by then, then return both for a 200% refund." Scooby kept his reciept and stuffed it inside his collar pouch, which was attached to his collar. This was the same pouch he kept the credit card in. He took the credit card back from Jim, and put it away. "Alright I'll be right back with the necklace.." Scooby then put the ring case into the pouch, it was a tight fit, but he managed to squeeze it in. "Rfter re ret rhe recklace, re reed ro rind ra ruit. " He said.

Deimos ignored the Dragons and the Great Dane. He looked at the map. "Damn it. They closed down the gun store here." He looked at it again. "Hmm. I'll go check out the shooting range/armory."

Deimos followed the signs to the armory. He noticed signs of battle. As a precaution, he drew his pistol.

He eventually made his way to the armory where he swapped his pistol for an AK-47 and a Sig-Sauer P226 pistol.

He went back to Scooby. "So how's the shopping? Any jewelry I might like? I have to admit, Dr. Zanasiu's taste in fashion is questionable, especially his choice of jewelry for me. It makes me feel like his pet." He showed his chain collar, which was hidden by his armor to Scooby.
