Roxy: Since Carmen wanted (forced) me to do Chapter 8 even though I have like NINE fanfics going on that I need to finish. I'm answering the reviews.
Carmen: shut up Roxy… you're the one who set up the mall scene in the first place.
MissQuestionMark: Nicely said. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Skavnema: Hell ya I just shake my head and go to school forget all the damn hair spray stuff go for the grunge look.
SconeMeepT.T: Well I kinda like the mall. But only when it's with me and my friends and we're hanging out. I hate it when my mom drags me there and says "Which one do you like better the pink one or the black one?"…Mom seriously needs to know I'm goth…
DragonessWarrior: …coughVincentfreakcough…
Carmen: congratulations to SconeMeepT.T and Skavnema! You two get the Loyal Reviewers Award!!! The award is an appearance in this chapter! Yay for you two!!! (and to SconeMeepT.T, I'm going to shorten your name to Meep. Hope you don't mind)

Roxy: Okay peoples I ANSWERED IT ME NOT CARMEN ME. Oh and thanks Carmen for fixing my little typo problem with my Naruto fanfics.
Carmen: No problem.
Chapter 8
"Hey Yuffie who exact is 'what's-her-name'?"
"Oh you woke up Vinnie! Well I think her name was Lisa."
"My god she's back to haunt me…She didn't say anything about why we were going to the mall did she?"
"Well she said something about just going around you know showing us around…That's all."
"I hope so."
Roxy muttered under her breath. Yuffie leaned in and tilted her head with a confused expression. Roxy just gave her another glare and stuffed her hands into her pocket.
The girl was nice to be around but Roxy just glared at pretty much everybody. It was a bad habit but who was to blame her. Well actually her mom said that if she kept glaring her face would be permanently stuck like that.
She snickered to herself as she thought of the stupid cheerleaders at her school and how there faces could be permanently stuck in a smile. That would score a few laughs.
"Well everyone I kind of have a problem…My car only fits 5 not including me and I doubt actually I won't let Cloud ride my motorcycle."
There was a gasp heard then a whine followed after. Cait Sith came bounding up and replied in a loud tone.
"Aye Lassie I suppose I could stay in this thing you call a house."
"Uh…Just don't break anything and don't wake up Nanaki. He REALLY likes that bean bag and he's still sleeping on it so that narrows down well not a lot."
"You can count me out damn kids these days going to all these shit stores and wasting their precious time."
Cid grumbled and walked off, reaching for another cigarette. Barret just shook his head when Roxy turned to him and she nodded in understanding.
"Hey Cid do that outside! Okay so problem fixed Yuffie and Tifa can sit on the outside in the back and Cloud you sit squished up in the middle. Vincent you have shotgun."
"What can't I just ride you motorcycle or something!"
Roxy turned and there was an evil glare in her eyes. Cloud just shut his mouth up immediately and headed to the garage. Roxy turned back with a smirk and grabbed her wallet.
-----
"No fair Vincent has shotgun my ass just because everyone thinks he's a vampire they give him sympathy."
"There there Cloud you get to sit with me. Roxy was just thinking about your jealousy. You know how you get when you see me with other men."
"Ya but its Vincent that would be riding squished in the back not me. I trust Vincent."
"Well it might not be necessarily you who would be sitting in the front so calm down.'
Tifa soothed and managed to get Cloud to revert to his normal cold weirdo self. Vincent nodded a silent thanks to Roxy as he climbed into the passenger's seat beside the driver.
Roxy smirked and gave a 'your welcome' nod back and pulled out of her driveway. She picked up her black cell phone with the striking blue flames on it and speed-dialed Lisa.
"Hello?"
"Hey Lisa, you remember what my car looks like right?"
"Um no."
"Well then how will we meet up? I really don't want to walk in the mall with a bunch of suspicious looking people especially when there might be fan girls in hiding…or even worse fan boys."
"I guess so…"
"Okay then look for 1994 Italian made, Onyx Black, Fiat Barchetta."
"Eh?"
"A black shiny car that looks like a convertible if I pull the roof down."
"Oh…I don't understand this car stuff…"
Roxy hung up and left Lisa hanging on the phone. Before stepping on the acceleration pedal and passing the green light.

Carmen walked into her house, sighing. She couldn't believe they destroyed the weapon she designed!!!
Flashback
Shot after shot, Carmen fired the gun, but shot after shot, it blew up in her face. After the 3rd time, she went to the tech guys. After five minutes they turned to her.
"Ok, I found the problem with your blaster. The only thing is, this device has the potential to desolate the world. I'm afraid it has to be disassembled so it won't fall into the wrong hands."
"WHAT?! THAT'S THE TWELTH ONE!!" Carmen bellowed, but her friend, Skavnema patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you can build another weapon of mass destruction."
"Thanks…"
All of the sudden, a man ran up to her
"YOU WILL WORK FOR THE SCONE ARMY NOW!!!"
"…"
"… Security! Meep's gone mad again!"
"I was kidding…"Meep muttered
"Whatever, I'm going to get off work early. The boss doesn't care, evaluations already done, you two just keep the weapons coming."
"alrighty!" Skavnema smiled
"can I use them for my scone army when I'm done?" Meep questioned curiously.
"NO!!!" was the reply of the entire department.
"aww…meanies" Meep pouted.
Carmen gathered her stuff and was about to leave when she heard Skavnema call after her.
"Hey Carmen!"
"Yea?"
"Who are you spending new years with?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"They say you should start the new years with the one you love, and your love will stay strong for the entire year."
"and?"
"And I'm wondering who your spending it with." Skavnema smiled.
Carmen's mind instantly went to Kadaj, but she mentally shook it off.
"you know me, I like anyone!" Carmen laughed. "I'm a 17 year old girl who works as a weapons tester who likes to perforate the target. I don't think anyone would want to date a violent girl like me anyways!"
End flashback
Carmen smirked, after remembering. Meep was one of the best weapons designer she knew, but they had to hire Skavnema to keep him under control, as every three weeks or so, he runs around the office screaming something about a scone army… bizarre…
Carmen suddenly realized the house was quiet. She quickly ran about the house until she found a note taped to the fridge.
Dear Carmen
We had received a call from Lisa, she told us that we are going to the mall, all six of us had left in the van (Reno is a good driver and pilot! Who knew?) I hope you don't mind, apparently we are going to a mall on the corner of 50th avenue and 34 street. We'll be back at 6ish.
Love
Kadaj
Carmen ripped the note up as she ran to her black and blue motorcycle while jamming her helmet on. Quickly she drove to the mall, cursing under her breath.
