The next day, Nick and Hathor went to a mall. Nick managed to sneak away by telling everyone that he was going to be sleeping and Hathor, using her powers, changed his physical appearance. The voice was still the same but he now had short dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. Hathor even put a small scar on his upturned nose. For Nick's benefit, she made herself visible. Then she took the two of them to the mall.
After stopping quickly at a directory, Nick strode towards the middle of the mall.
"Where are we going?" Hathor asked, running to catch up with him, her hair darkening as she worried.
"To get you some normal clothes," Nick told her, glancing over. Right now, Hathor was dressed in some of Nick's clothes but it wouldn't do. "Can't you do something to stop your hair?" he asked, paranoid that someone was going to notice.
"Yeah, yeah," Hathor muttered and flashed her hands upward. "Okay. Done. Now what?"
"Just follow me."
Hathor and Nick went to a department store. Hathor's eyes widened at all of the stuff.
"How are we going to find the right stuff?" she asked in awe.
"It's not that hard," Nick told her. He glanced up at the signs the found the right section. "This way," he said.
Once they got there, Nick left it up to Hathor to decide what she wanted to get. She got a pair of flare jeans, a pair of flare khakis, jean shorts and a short skirt. There were also a bunch of shirts that she wanted and Nick insisted that she get a dress, just in case she ever had to go out in public with him.
As they walked towards the cashier with all of the purchases, Nick noticed the lingerie section. That wasn't new; he always noticed the lingerie section. But then he realized that Hathor was going to need some of that stuff.
"This way, " he said, jerking his head to the side. " We forgot some stuff."
"What could we have forgotten?"
"Underwear," Nick told her, blushing but hoping that his dark skin hid it.
"Do I really need it?"
"Yes," Nick said, surprised.
"Fine," Hathor hugged and headed over in the direction. When Nick caught up with her, Hathor was examing teddies.
"What's this for?" she asked, lightly touching a dark green teddy and wrinkling her brow in confusion. "I mean it's pretty but…why?"
Nick couldn't answer, as the visual image a Hathor clad in the teddy entered his mind. He shook the thought away.
"You don't need one of those," he said. "The stuff you need is over there." Nick gestured to the right.
They went over there and Hathor picked out some bras and panties.
"Do I need to show you what I look like?" she asked as they walked towards the dressing room.
"No," Nick told her, blushing once again. "Just make sure they fit." Hathor nodded.
After getting all the underwear Hathor needed, the pair once again headed to the register. As they walked past the teddies, Hathor quickly flipped through them and pick one out.
"Why'd you get that?" Nick asked as they put all their purchases on the counter.
"For fun," Hathor told him, grinning.
After paying (Nick almost went into shock at the amount but Hathor promised him he'd get his money back), the two left the mall.
