By: Pikamuse
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, I just like playing with the characters. Star and Millie belong to themselves, and Catsy belongs to me.
Author's Note from Pikamuse: This was inspired by a trip to the mall with my friends Vicantis and Millie M. Banshee. This is being posted on Vicantis' author account because I don't have one. Enjoy!!
Beta Note from Vicantis: Please Review, and yes Pikamuse doesn't have and account so I'm posting this for her. Warning most of the conversations featured in this fic between Catsy, Millie, and Star did take place at some point over the summer, between Pikamuse, Millie M. Banshee, and myself. Again, Enjoy.

Chapter 1:
As he slowly regained consciousness, he became aware of a multitude of voices. They seemed to be coming from both around and below him. That threw him off for a moment. Then he finally gained complete awareness and lifted his head slightly to check his surroundings.
"Where, where am I?" he thought to himself. Then he noticed that he was in some sort of large building. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite remember what it was. Then he heard a voices coming from nearby. "Hey, Tim check it out. Someone left a Kon plushie right outside the store." "Huh? Is it one of ours? Has it been paid for?" "I don't know Tim. It doesn't have a tag on it, maybe someone tore it off and tried to steal it." "But Fred if someone had done that, why would it still be right outside the store?" "How should I know? Maybe they accidentally dropped it here. Whatever. Let's just take it back inside and try and sell it." "Alright Fred."
And with that Kon felt himself lifted up and carried away. He found himself in a store filled with various things; mostly DVD's, but there were other things as well. What shocked him was to see copies of himself in that store. "W-what? What's going on?! Why are there so many of me?! I knew I was cute and all, but that's no reason for someone to make copies of me!" The store clerk named Tim took him to the back while the other clerk, Fred, went back to tend the counter. In the back Tim held down Kon while he applied a security tag to him. "There," Tim declared, "That should prevent anyone from stealing you again. Now, to price you and put you out for sell." Then a price tag was put on him and Kon found himself carried back out into the store.
He was set down amongst the various copies of himself and left there. As he sat there Kon thought to himself, "Oh great. I'm in deep shit now. How did I end up here anyway?"
It was a bright sunny day in late July. Three girls entered the mall; all excited about spending a day together having fun. But none was more excited than the brown-haired girl who was walking in between her two friends. It was her birthday, and they were helping her to celebrate. The silver-haired girl on her left spoke, "So Catsy, what do you want to do first?" Catsy thought about it before answering. "Well…I was hoping that we could go to FYE first." The short-haired girl to Catsy's right added, "You heard her Star. More than once; she's been talking about that for days now." Catsy blushed in embarrassment. "Millie, I haven't been talking about it for days. Just since yesterday."
The trio made their way to the escalator. Millie glanced at it, then calmly stated, "I'll ride up on the escalator, but don't expect me to ride back down on it. We're taking the elevator." Catsy quirked an eyebrow at this before turning to Star to ask about it. Before she could ask though, Star answered her question. "Millie doesn't ride down on the escalator anymore since she fell. Don't ask for anymore details." They all stepped on and rode to the top. Once on the second floor they turned and headed for FYE.
They reached the store and Catsy immediately headed toward the back shelves to look for a DVD of a particular anime. The other two wandered off to pursue their own interests. "Oh wow, I found it! Hellsing on DVD!" Catsy picked it up and was about to move off when she got the sensation that someone was watching her. She turned around, but all she saw was a display of Kon plushies from the anime Bleach. "That's….odd….I could have sworn someone was watching me. Maybe it's just my imagination."
Catsy decided to take a closer look at the plushies. She had like the manga for Bleach, even though she had never seen the anime yet, so she knew who was who in the story. She had liked Kon ever since he was first introduced; she thought the plushie was cute. "Hmmm…..I've been wanting a Kon plushie since I started reading the manga. I think I'll buy one of these." So she picked up the first plushie she saw and took it with her to the counter.
At the counter she met back up with Star and Millie. "Find what you were looking for?" Millie asked. "Yeah," she replied. "See." And she showed them the DVD and the plushie. "You're buying a Kon plushie?" Star asked somewhat incredulously. "Yeah. I like him. I think he's cute." And with that she hugged the plushie to her chest. Millie snickered. "If that were the real Kon," she said, "He'd be in Heaven about now." They all laughed at that. Then they paid for their stuff and left the store.
After he had been picked up by the girl with the large chest Kon could only think of one thing, "Oh please Lord let her buy me. I want to feel that chest so bad." Imagine his surprise, and utter delight, when she did indeed buy him. When she had got to the counter and was about to pay for him he noticed her other friends. "Wow, they're cute too." Then he heard the girl who was going to buy him say, "I like him. I think he's cute." And then she hugged him to her chest just as he had been hoping for. "I'm in Heaven." Kon thought in delirious joy. Money was exchanged, and he found himself placed in a plastic bag beside the DVD that had also been bought.
The girls then left the store and as Kon was been swung around in the bag as she walked he heard one of the girls talking to the others. "So, do you want to get something to eat now? They have a great food court here." The girl who had bought him answered, "Sure, but I'm not all that hungry though. I think I'll just get something to drink." "Alright Catsy," the first girl replied, "But you are gonna have Dippin' Dots later right? You said you wanted to try it." "Yeah." And with that they continued walking to, what Kon presumed to be, the food court.
"So the large chested girl is named Catsy, eh? She seems nice. I hope she quits swinging this bag though; I'm starting to feel sick."
At the food court Catsy went and found a table to sit at while Millie and Star got something to eat. The table was next to the window and had a nice view of the fountain out in front of the mall. She sat down, then decided to take a look at her purchases so far. She took out the plushie, and began removing the price tag. "There," she said when she had got it off, "All better. Now Kon-chan, we'll just sit here and wait for the others." She was holding the plushie as she said this, and suddenly she got the eerie feeling again that she wasn't alone. But the next second she brushed it off. She had put the plushie back in the bag by the time her friends showed up.
As the food was being eaten they talked about what should be done next. It was decided that they would get visit a few more stores, then get some Dippin' Dots ice cream before they left the mall to go back to Millie's house for swimming. After Millie and Star had finished eating and had thrown their plates away they continued on to a few more stores. They went to Claire's and Catsy bought two necklaces. She ended up putting that bag in the bag she had gotten when she had made her purchases at FYE. Then they went to Spencer's.
At Spencer's they each split up again and browsed the store. Somehow or other Catsy ended up in the adult aisle. She looked around herself at all the unmentionable things and silently giggled. "I wonder if I should buy something from this aisle?" Star peered around the corner at her. Somehow she could tell what was going through her friend's mind. "You're having dirty thoughts again, aren't you?" she asked rather rhetorically. Catsy tried to look innocent as she replied. "Oh…no. Of course not." And she tried to smile, but her smile gave her away. "Rrriight," Star gave her a pedantic look, "Let's just get you away from this aisle of porn materials, okay." And with that she guided her friend away from all the naughty stuff.
Kon listened to this little exchange and thought to himself, "Porn materials?! I wanna see." He tried to struggle out of the bag, but was unsuccessful. Luckily for him the bag was being swung around as the girl walked so she never noticed the Kon's movements. Then he heard her say, "Oooo! That's a pretty necklace. I think I'll buy it." "Another necklace? Didn't she just buy two at the last store? Also, she's wearing enough necklaces as it is right now." Which was true; the girl was wearing three necklaces, and a fourth one under her shirt.
He heard the sales transaction going on, then yet another bag was placed in the one he was in. At this point Kon was beginning to get a little cramped in the bag. Then there was more walking as the girls went back to the food court for their ice cream. He heard one say, "So Catsy, which flavor are you going to get?" "Hmm…I don't know. I think I'll get bubble gum." Then he heard the other girl say, "Bubble gum?! Eeew! Why would you want bubble gum flavored ice cream?" "Because I like it." He heard the girls make their orders then walk away somewhere. Soon he could hear a change in the noise level. All the voices that had previously surrounded him while he was inside seemed to recede. He guessed that them had exited the building and were now outside.
Then the girl stopped and someone said, "Let's sit here next to the fountain and eat, okay?" He felt the bag placed on the ground, and then he heard the sound of the tinkling water of the fountain. Over the sound of the water he could still hear the conversation of the three girls. "So…we're still going swimming after this right?" "Yeah. By the time we get back to my house our food will have digested." "Cool." "Swimming? Oh yes, there is a God! I get to see girls in bathing suits. I think I might actually like it here."
