Gan Gan Galaxy Goes to the Mall

All the members of Team Gan Gan Galaxy were sitting idly in their hotel room in New York, bored.

"I'm bored!" Yu whined, "I want to get ice cream!"

"I need to get a haircut," Tsubasa said gloomily, fingering the section of hair where Yu got a piece of gum stuck, and had to cut it off.

Gingka and Masamune's stomachs growled in sweet harmony. "We're hungry!" they chanted in sync. Madoka ripped the ear buds connected to her iPod, out of her ears, frustrated.

"Then why don't you all go do something!" She shouted. She had been trying to tune out this complaining for an hour.

"But what is there to do, Madoka?" Gingka inquired. They had already been banned from Liberty Island, the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Coney Island, and practically every single museum in the area. They could barely get out of the hotel without receiving a restraining order.

"We could… we could go to the New York Hall of Science! I heard they have an entire section on Beyblades and centripetal force!" she said excitedly. Tsubasa looked up from his hair, and shared a hesitant look with Gingka.

"Um, Madoka, we're not allowed in Queens," Gingka said.

"Yeah, cause Gingka got us kicked out!" Masamune piped up.

"Hey! It wasn't my fault! You were the one who challenged that cop to a battle!"

"He was staring at me!"

"Still! It wasn't my fault for breaking his collarbone!"

"You were the one who ran into him!"

"You were chasing me!"

"We were in a park!"

"Yeah, the Socratic Sculptures Park!"

"What difference does that make!"

"Oh-Okay! I guess we're not going to Queens then!" she said, breaking up the argument, then muttered under her breath, "Guess I can scratch that out of my bucket list."

"Don't you guys wanna do anything?" Tsubasa said, "I mean, I'm sure there's somewhere we're allowed to be."

"Hm… " Madoka said, opening up her laptop, "There's a museum in Manhattan, the Bronx Zoo, um, ooh! There's a mall in Brooklyn!" she squealed with joy. The boys glanced at each other sideways in confusion. What was it with girls and the mall? Spending $100 on a pair of jeans?

"Ugh! The mall, Madoka?" Yu complained.

"They have a food court at the mall, Yu."

"FOOD COURT, DID YOU SAY!" Gingka and Masamune shouted together. If Benkei were here, he would already be out the door, Bu-Bu-Bulling.

"Tsubasa, they have a hair salon somewhere near the mall," the older teen nodded in approval.

"So whatta ya guys think?" Madoka asked the group. Yu was already hopping up and down on his perch. Gingka and Masamune were having a holding their breaths contest to see who would have to buy the other as many hamburgers as they wanted. Tsubasa sighed, knowing that he would be the one really losing any money either way.

"Ok! I'll call us a cab, since it's all the way across the city," Madoka said, dialing in the number of the cab company. "King's Plaza, here we come!"
