Sorry, by the way... Things like 'mall' I'd usually call a shopping centre, so some things will sound weird. Chapters are very short, but then again I don't feel the need to do longer chapters when no one's really reading :P

For those of you who don't know, Umbreon is a pokemon and by 'animal hats' I meant the type of thing you find here: animal-hats-with-paws com


Chapter Two

Tuesday sighed.

She was standing smack bang in the middle Sweet Amoris's very own mall, where Auntie has dumped her with a wad of cash and a shopping list. Earlier that morning, after a long and tiring conversation with said beloved and rather irritated aunt, who was late for work by about 2 hours, she had been sent off to buy just about everything remotely important. Why? Because, in true Tuesday fashion, while staging a skilful getaway the place that was supposedly 'home', she had left everything behind.

She had nothing but the clothes on her back.

People of all ages filed past her, chatter loud and colours flashing. Might as well get on with it, then.

She started on around the different stores, finally coming across a vast store with a blur of extravagant colours called 'Threads'. Must be a clothing store, right? She shrugged to herself and entered the store, breathing a sigh of relief at the range of clothes that met her. I can't keeping wearing the same clothes. She spent ages in the store, picking up a range of just about everything they sold. Anything from gloves to shoes. To think I still have more stores to go to... She laughed to herself. She finally came across the last part of the store...

Hats. A gleeful grin spread across her face, and her eyes swept over the racks until she came across on of few things that she would happily spend her entire lives savings on. Animal hats.

She spent a good ten minutes looking through them. Having already chosen one hat, a cute Umbreon one that was hidden behind a few penguin hats, she had narrowed the remaining down to two hats, a white rabbit and a fox.

She shifted, tilting her head the the two hats clutched in her hands and rolling her shoulder where she'd been carrying the shopping basket around.

"Choose the fox" An amused voice called out from behind her. Tuesday head snapped up and she pirouetted on the spot. Standing a few feet behind with a cheesy grin and a hand on his hip was a bubbly-looking blue haired boy.

"W-what?" She stuttered out, surprised.

"Well, the white hat doesn't really match with anything, but the fox one would look nice because of the orange, it works with your hair, and it's almost the same shade as your eyes" His grin was contagious and Tuesday quickly found herself with a hesitant smile.

"Sorry, I'm Alexy by the way! I've been watching you for the past ten minutes, you're quite funny."

Tuesday pulled a face.

"Honestly, if you were anyone else, that statement would have been a lot more creepy than it is". Alexy threw his head back in a laugh.

"Either way, go for the fox hat" He flashed pearl white teeth at her.

"Hey, Alexy! Where are you, I want to go home!" Someone called from elsewhere in the store with an irritated tone.

Alexy glanced behind him.

"That'll be my brother, I best be off. Will I see you again?" He titled his head at her, playful eyes sparkling.

"Well, I only officially moved here today, I'm sure I'll be attending the local high school..." She trailed off, shrugging limply.

"Great! See you!" Alexy beamed at her and bounced off through the store with a quick wave.

Well, that was... interesting...

She hummed. Off to the next store it is.
