Alex, John, Hercules, and Lafayette entered the mall and smiled at the scenery.
"I haven't been to the mall for forever," John said while staring at all of the many colorful stores.
"I haven't ever been to a mall," Lafayette told his friends.
The boys continued to look at all the different stores. Suddenly Lafayette stopped.
"What's up?" Alex questioned with a puzzled look on his tired face.
"What are those stairs?" Gasped Lafayette.
John had to hold in a laugh, "You mean an escalator?"
"An eskaylater?" Repeated Lafayette.
"Come on," Hercules snickered as he grabbed Lafayette's surprisingly freezing hands and leading him towards the escalator.
Lafayette stood in front in front of it before he turned to Hercules with his brows furrowed up, "I can't get on, it keeps moving."
Hercules stepped on the escalator to show Lafayette, then stepped off. Lafayette put his toe on the moving steps as if he was dipping his feet in the pool, but he quickly pulled back with wide eyes.
"Dude, come on!" Hercules laughed.
Hercules grabbed Lafayette's hand once again and pulled him onto the escalator.
Lafayette immediately began to freak out, "AAH! OH MY, MAKE IT PAUSE,"
"Chill out, it's about to end," reassured Hercules.
Lafayette jumped off the escalator in fear. Hercules simply stepped of as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Laf,...are you..crying?" Gasped Hercules.
"That was friggin' terrifying!" Complained Lafayette while shaking.
"Oh, it okay, next time we'll take an elevator instead," Hercules comforted.
Lafayette shook his head furiously, "No, I wanna ride the exkeylator again!"
Hercules looked unsure, but before he knew it, Lafayette jumped onto the escalator going back down to an amused Alex and John. Hercules saw Lafayette dragging Alex and John on the escalator going back up. Then back down...and back up...and down...up...down….up...
