Riker's POV:
"Riker you almost ready!" Rydel screamed from downstairs'.
"I'm coming right now!" I screamed back as I finished putting on my shirt and headed downstairs. We're going Christmas shopping for our parent's at the mall today and Rydel's really excited. As for the rest of us, not so much.
"Alright I'm ready let's get this over with." I said as we all headed out to my car. It's not that I hate Christmas or anything it's actually one of my favorite holidays'. It's the Christmas shopping with Rydel I'm not a huge fan of. She's very persistent.
"Ok so boys' you know the drill for dad." She said. We all nodded. "And as for mom..." She said. Our mom's always a lot harder to shop for. She always' says she'll be happy with what ever we get her as long as the families together and we're all happy. But every kid knows that stands' for something. We just don't know what.
"Now I've been observing mom a lot closer and I think I know what she'd like just follow me ok?" She asked. We all nodded again. It's easier to go with her than fight against her. Learned that the hard way. We finally arrived at the mall after a long car ride full of four little carorlers'.
"Alright guys' remember stay close together." I said as we all piled out of my car. I wasn't gonna be responsible for losing a sibling. Again. When we got inside it was decorated very nicely with Christmas lights' and wreaths. Every store had a design in their front window's. Even Santa had a nicely decorated spot.
"Ok let's get dad's first." Rydel said and started walking. I walked behind all of them to make sure none wandered off. It was going great till the complaining started.
"My feet hurt." Ryland said.
"And I'm hungry." Rocky complained.
"Rocky your always hungry." Ross said.
"We'll take a break after we get dad's gift." I said.
"And how much longer is that going to take?" Ross asked.
"Alright boys I think dad's..." Rydel started but I kind of drifted off from her while looking around the mall. All the happy couple's and shoppers', the donation santa's ringing their bells', and the lights' glowing. But my eyes stopped on a certain store window. It had a blue electric guitar. The one I asked Santa for when I was littler.
"Right Riker?" Rydel asked.
"What?" I asked. Not taking my eyes off the guitar.
"Dad's favorite store is just up these stairs to the second floor?" Rydel asked.
"Yeah sure." I said as I walked over to the store. I stared at the guitar then the price. I could never be able to afford that. Then a beautiful brunette/ blonde with ombre'd curled hair and a beautiful shade of dodger blue eyes started setting out some more fake snow in the window pain. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back. She definatly broke my gaze from the guitar.
"Riker!" Rydel said shaking me from my daydream.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"We're here for mom and dad not you now come on!" She said and pulled me away.
"It's ok Rikey. Maybe Santa will bring you your present." Ryland said. I smiled.
"Yeah. Maybe he will." I said smiling as put my arm around him.
Harmony's POV:
"Jake I'm almost off is there anything else you want me to do befor I leave?" I asked my boss.
"Do you mind putting some more snow in the window pain?" He asked from the back.
"No problem." I said as I grabed the bag of fake snow and headed to the front window. There was a blonde haired boy with big brown eyes standing there looking at our blue electric guitar we had displaid. I smiled at him as I put the snow in the window. He smiled back. I was hoping he'd come in maybe we could talk but then a blonde girl came and took him follow by three other boys. I sighed. Then the bell rang meaning we had a customer.
"I'm here!" My best friend Monica said as she came in the store.
"Oh no everybody hide!" Jake said. I laughed as she stuck her tongue out at him and he did the same.
"Sorry Jake but i'm gonna have to steal your little elf. Are you ready?" She asked me. I nodded.
"Where are you girl's going?" Jake asked.
"We're gonna finish our Christmas shopping then head back to my place." I said grabing my coat and bag.
"Would you girls' mind stopping by the candy shop and giving becca this?" He asked handing us a small box.
"Of course what are they?" I asked.
"14 carrot gold diamond earings'." He said.
"Awe. Ok well we'll be sure to get these to her." I said.
"Ok well you two have fun I'm just gonna finish up here and close up." He said.
"We will. Bye Jake! Merry Christmas." We said.
"Bye girls' Merry Christmas." He said as we left the store. We headed towards' sports' store first.
"Do you think Danny would like another football?" She asked looking at the huge wall full of basket balls', soccer balls', and footballs'.
"Sure he can add it the millions' of other ones you've gotten him." I said sarcastically. She stuck her tongue out at me and I returned it.
"Well then I don't know what to get him!" She said.
"Get him those cool new Jordan's that just came out. He's been wanting those." I said.
"That's a great idea! But how'd you know he's been wanting them?" She asked.
"He's only mentioned them a million times." I said.
"Oh. Right. Psh I knew that!" She said. I rolled my eyes.
"Are you getting Mason anything?" She asked.
"No. We aren't exactly on speaking terms' right now." I said.
"Oh come on Mo he said he was sorry!" She said.
"Yeah well sometimes Sorry doesn't cut it." I said. She looked at me.
"Just get the shoes' and let's go. This place smells' weird." I said. She laughed and walked over to the shoes. After she paid we headed to Forever 21.
"Do you think Bambie would like this?" She asked holding up a short white dress with gold and black sequins on the tubetop part.
"Would Bambie or would you? You know Bambie's simpiler than that." I said. Bambie's her little sister. She's 13 and a half. She's more of a pant's and t-shirt kinda girl.
"Your right. WEll maybe I'll just keep it for myself." She said.
"Monica!" I said.
"I'm just kitten." She said and put it back while giving me a playful look. I laughed.
"This is cute." I said showing her a dress with a sweetheart neckline, a sparkleing red sequin bodice, centered rear zip closure, and a beautifully gathered black a-line skirt.
"That's adorable and you'd look amazing in it!" She said coming over to me.
"Yeah but I can't afford it. Not with everything I still have to get for my friends' and family. I mean it's not my allounce and paycheck are a million dollars'." I said. She gave me a sad look.
"Fine. Give me it." She said and took it from me.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I followed her to the register.
"I'm buying you a Christmas present." She said.
"Oh no you really don't have to do that Monica!" I said but the lady already rang it up.
"To late! Here Merry Christmas Boo." She said handing me the bag. I smiled and hugged her.
"Merry Christmas Boo!" I said. I paid for my stuff and we headed for Cadny Shop.
"Let's just get these earings' to Bessa then head to the food court I'm starving." Monica said. I laughed. Then I crashed into someone.
"Oh my stars! I am so sorry!" I said helping him pickup the stuff that flew out of the bags'.
"It's quit alright guess I should pay more attention where I'm looking next time." He said. When I looked up it was the guy from the store window earlier.
"Hi I'm Harmony. This is my friend Monica." I said.
"Riker. These are my siblings Rydel, Rocky, Ross, and Ryland." He said.
"Wow lot of R's.' Monica said. They all smiled and nodded.
"Well it was nice running into you. Literally." I said and laughed. So did he.
"Yeah you to." He said.
"Well we have to go. You guys have a Merry Christmas and Happy New years'." Monica said and left.
"Yeah you to." He said as we walked away. We arrived at the Candy shop.
"Ok hand me the earings' and I'll give them to her." Monica said. I noddede and reached in the bag I put them in. They weren't there. It wasn't even my bag. I didn't recognize any of the purchased items'.
"Oh no!" I said searching through every bag.
"What?" She asked scared.
"Their not in here!" I said.
"What?! Mo you lost the earings!" She said.
"I didn't mean to I don't know how!" I said. Then it hit me. Riker.
"Riker!" I said.
"The boy we just ran into? What does he have to do with it?" She asked.
"When everything fell out of the bags'. We must of traded bags' on accident." I said.
"Well maybe if you weren't daydreaming in his eyes you would've noticed!" She said.
"Don't yell at me." I said.
"I'm sorry it just. Mo you could get fired!" She said. I stopped in shock. I can't get fired.
"Come on let's go find them. Our chances are they haven't left yet." I said running back the way the left. We looked through every store window till we finally found them in the food court. We walked up to them.
"Hi." I said.
"Oh hello again." He said.
"Um I think we might of accidentally traded bags'." I said holding it up. He looked in the one he had.
"Oh I guess your right." He said handing me ours as I handed him his.
"Thnak you so much and I'm sorry for the mix up." I said.
"No problem. Um would you maybe like something to eat?" He asked.
"Harmony the Candy shop closes in 20 minutes." Monica said.
"I'd love to but I'll have to take a rain check important business. Maybe another time?" I asked.
"Yeah of course. Can I get your number?" He asked. I nodded. We switched phones' and entered each other's contacts.
"Cool. Um I'll call you." He said.
"Ok. Bye again." I said.
"Bye." He replied then me and Monica started walking. When I looked at her she was giving me a look.
"What?" I asked.
"You just got his number." She said.
"Yeah. So?" I asked.
"So, your with Mason! That's so." She said.
"Right now I'm not with any one. Can't you just be happy for me?" I asked she sighed.
"You right. I'm not being a very good friend right now am I?" I shook my head.
"Ok fine. I'm hapy for you." She said.
"Thank you. Now come on lets' get these to Becca before we loose them again." I said as we linked arms and walked to the candy shop. We finished our shopping then headed back to my house.
