I don't own any of these characters I love them but I dont but I did make up the drink stand the milkshake shack lol.

"so what do you want for your birthday" belle said. Maddie and belle were sitting in the middle of the mall food court. "I don't know" maddie said looking around the mall. She was turning 16 in two days and all she wanted. "lets just finish our milkshakes and go shopping I want to look for a new dress for the party" she said as someone came up behind her and belle groaned. Ric and luc had walked up behind them "hey girls" luc said. "hey dork" bele said smiling evilly at luc. The two girls stood up and started walking towards the dress shop luc and ric following in suit. "ohhh ohhh that hurt" luc said clutching at his heart. "what are you guys doing" ric said mainly to matilda but belle answered for her. "were shopping for a dress for maddoes 16th and im trying to find a birthday present for her. but she doesn't seem to know what she wants" belle said emphaziseing the last sentence. "hey I really don't know" maddie said looking at belle murderous. "down girl" ric said putting a hand on her shoulder maddie tried ignoring the shiver that went up her spine when his hand touched her neck. She looked up at him and into his big brown eyes. Then when there eyes locked she looked away sheepishly making him sigh and rub the back of his neck. And walking off towards the milkshake shack. As maddie and bella walked into the dress shop. luc still trailing behind. "what about this one" belle said pushing the dress she had picked into the dressing room were maddie was trying on dress. "ok I kinda like this one" she said comeing out of the dressing room a few minutes later. "good lord" luc said stareing at her. She was wearing a creamy short white dress that only went to just below her thighs it had small pastel coloured poka dots on it and it had a black silk ribbon tied under her bust the dress wasn't reveiling in that area but it came down further then most of the dress she own. "yep that's the one" bele said pushing her back into the dressing room with a frown she had seen the look on lucs face. As ric came back from the milkshake shack with two large strawberry milkshakes. "ooohhh thanks but I don't like strawberrys" bele said with a grin. "its actually for maddie" he said as maddie came out of the dressing room with the dress folded under her arm. "oh thanks ric" she said not noticing the grin on both luc and belles face. Everyone new about them and their equal love of strawberry milkshakes "so were too now" luc said putting his arm round belles shoulder and walking out of the shop infront of maddie and ric. "augh away from you" belle said takeing the his arm off of her. "oohh another fatal blow but I wil have you soon gourguz" he said in a very golum from lord of the rings sort of way that made belle shiver and maddie giggle. Ric put his arm around maddie and said "how long do you think itll take us". she blinked a few times and said "what" blushing. "to get them together" he finished. "ooooohhh I don't know" she said her voice falling as she blushed again. As much as she wouldn't admit it she had been feeling something she shouldn't be feeling towards ric since cassie left to live in the city with her aunt. But she wouldn't tell anyone that. After a half an hour or so both ric and belle had disappeared. "where do you think they went do you think there together" luc was starting to panic. "dude chill"maddie said trying on a pair of brown wedges with a brown butterflie on the strap of the shoe on. "do you think these would go with the dress" she said to luc. "I don't know these things tilly this is why we need belle back". "god and you wonder why she wont go out with you luc. You follow her round you really need to play hard to get luc otherwise she'll have you tied around her little finger. Woops to late" she said with a giggle. "you think that would work maddie" he said looking at her intently. "I think its worth a shot I mean shes one of my best friends I know her better then anyone else does and trust me luc she has you wrapped around her little finger and she knows it" she said still trying to decide about the shoes. " make her think your over her and she will come running" maddie finished as belle and ric came back. "ready to go" belle said. "ooohh maddie those shoes would go great with the dress" she said. "you think" maddie replied still looking at the shoes turning her leg over to look at it on each side. Belle noticed rics eyes following her leg all the way up to wear the mini skirt maddie was wearing finished she also saw his mouth move into the shape of an o and she wacked him over the back of the head. "whha what was that for" he said clueless. She looked at him then nodded towards maddie who was still turning her leg over to see if the shoes suited her. "ohh you no what it was for" she said quietly through greeted teeth. "its not what you think" he said quietly in her ear still looking at maddies leg. "not what I think my ass" belle mumbled to herself. "ok you got me" they heard maddie say which made both of them turn and look at her standing their in the shoes she was surprisingly taller then her useally small size. "wow were gunna have to find a new nickname for you shortie if your gunna start wearing those shoe" belle said with a laugh glancing at ric who was still stareing at maddies legs " goddd boys only think of one thing" she said throwing her arms up in the air and walking out of the store. As belle and maddie sat in the back of rics car on the way home from the mall. Maddie was thinking of the dress and shoes that she had bought for tomorrow night when a song came on and she started to sing under her breath. It was P.S im still not over you by rihanana "don't you no that ive tried and ive tried to get you of my mind and im lost and confused ive got nothing to lose P.S im still not over you" what maddie didn't see was ric looking at her in the rear vision mirror. He looked back to the road and let out a big sigh. "shes got that right".
