After getting to the mall, the group went to various stores and locations to hang out. Curtain noticed that Sans wasn't calling her 'sweetheart' or 'darling' at any point, and even when they were alone as the others went to the bathroom, he spoke to her like a friend. After awhile, Curtain relaxed a little around him, seeing as he was being very affable.

"What a surprise? You haven't referred to me in an endearing term this whole time," Curtain said, as she and Sans were looking at shelves full of video games while the others were looking in different places in the game store.

"Well, I took into consideration that you don't know me very well," Sans said, and Curtain smiled a little since he actually took her words into consideration.

Sans noticed her smile, and even if it was small, he couldn't help but stare at her. Curtain looked towards her friends and saw that they were still busy looking through or trying out the video games in the store, and then she looked towards Sans and noticed that he was still staring at her.

"Sans. Your staring," Curtain said, trying to inform him of his behavior.

However, Sans continued staring and asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Curtain frowned and replied, "It's rude to stare you know."

Sans' arched his eyebrow bone, and asked, "How is that rude? I appreciate your beauty."

Curtain looked at Sans with skepticism in her eyes, but then she looked at Sans more in surprise when she saw that he really was confused.

"Sans… when you stare at someone, you make them self-conscious and it could make them feel uncomfortable about their self or you if they think your a creep," Curtain said, and Sans looked at her in understanding.

"Ooh, that's why people address that… where I'm from, staring shows appreciation, learning, and complimenting since we took the time to pay attention," Sans said, and Curtain was quite intrigued by his response.

'So, where he's from is different than here… is that why he was watching me this whole time, and why he thought it was okay to take my Soul? I wonder what else he doesn't know…?' Curtain thought, and then they continued browsing through the games.

"Hey Curtain. What are you doing here today? Your supposed to come to work tomorrow," A friendly voice said, as Curtain and Sans turned towards a dude coming up to them.

The dude's name was Joe, older brother of Joseph, and he owned the game shop. He has light brown hair, dark blue sunglasses that covered his blue eyes, a faded beard, and a black shirt with jeans and white sneakers. There was also a name tag on his shirt that read: Manager: Joe, and he kept his hands in his baggy jean pockets.

"Oh, hey Joe. I was just visiting with the guys and your bro, you know," Curtain said, as she gave him a wave.

"Eh, that's alright then. I hope your all not expecting discounts though," Joe said, as he adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Aw Joe, come on. That's messed up," Curtain said, as she placed her right hand in a fist on her hip.

"Ha. I'm only kidding. I don't mind really, and besides your my bro's friends," Joe said, with a grin, and Curtain shook her head with a slight smirk.

Then Curtain looked towards Sans from the corner of her eye, and when she looked back at Joe, she said,

"Hey Joe. I got another friend of mine with me today. His name is Sans."

Curtain gestured to Sans with one hand, as Joe looked towards him. He smiled broadly and said,

"Well hey there skele-dude. Nice to meet ya."

"Likewise, Joe," Sans said, as he shook hands with him, while Curtain was relieved that he didn't use the whoopie-cushion-in-the-hand trick.

"Your new around here huh? Well, welcome to this side of the river, bud," Joe said.

"Thanks. I'm piers to make your acquaintance," Sans said, with a wink, while Joe and Curtain stood silent for a moment.

"Hahaha! Oh my gosh! I haven't heard a pun in awhile," Joe said, as he was holding his head from laughing.

Curtain just looked at Sans with a pout, as he just smiled at her.

"You know how to pick'em huh?" Joe said, while looking at Curtain, and then he walked away to check on the cashier.

"I sure do~" Sans said, as he looked towards Curtain, and she looked away from him with slight annoyance.

After a moment, Curtain slowly turned towards Sans and said, "Your staring again."

"I know," Sans said, and Curtain just signed.

After leaving the game shop, the group headed for the food court to eat. They were able to catch a table while a family was leaving, and then Joseph, Hare, and Sans went to order and pick up the food. The ladies were able to talk for a little while, until the gentlemen returned.

As everyone ate and spoke after swallowing since they didn't want to choke, Sans wasn't saying much as he listened to their conversations, while he chuckled most of the time from the random nonsense they were talking about. Curtain became more quiet as she ate, and she kept her eyes focused on Sans, since she wondered how he was going to eat since his teeth never needed to part for him to speak. She saw Sans take a bottle of ketchup out from his inner coat pocket, which made her eyebrow raise in curiosity.

The others weren't paying attention to him, since they were focused on something that Karol was showing them on her phone.

Sans took the cap off of it, and placed the top on his teeth. Curtain noticed how the ketchup in the bottle was continuously sliding downward towards the top, but it was as if it disappeared on contact with his teeth. He lowered the bottle, as he took a napkin from the table and wiped his mouth, since some of the ketchup dripped on his chin.

Curtain stood frozen in mid-chew of a Ramen burger, as her eyes stood widened with an arched eyebrow, while Sans crumbled the napkin and placed it on the table.

Then Sans leaned his forearm on the table while still holding the ketchup, and he turned towards Curtain and winked as he said,

"It's rude to stare, Curtain."

Curtain pressed her lips firmly together, while her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. She looked away from Sans and continued chewing, while he chuckled.

After eating, the group returned to the pier as they walked and talked about whatever they felt like, like the food, video games, fan-fiction, etc.

Then the group began to disperse, as Rini and Hare were the first two to leave back to their house. Joseph had to meet his brother at the game store, and Karol was driven home by Curtain, Marisol, and Sans. When Curtain went to drop off Marisol, who sat in the passenger seat while Sans sat behind Curtain in the backseats, she noticed that Marisol was looking towards Sans with a stoic expression. On a red light, Curtain looked towards Marisol, while Marisol continued to look at Sans while her eyes narrowed. Curtain looked through the rear-view mirror, and noticed that Sans was more attentive towards what was through the window. She took her elbow and lightly nudged Marisol, while she looked up at her.

"Stop looking at him like that," Curtain whispered.

"Why not? It's obvious he's got his eyes on you, and why aren't you dropping him off first?" Marisol whispered back.

"First off, he's a reaper-dude and I don't want trouble with you and him, and secondly he doesn't live anywhere here. He lives in some other world or whatever," Curtain whispered back.

"Still, I find it to be distasteful that he's watching you, like if you belong to him," Marisol whispered, as she crossed her arms.

"I know it's weird, but I don't think he knows any better. It's different where he's from. He thought staring at me was a way to show that he 'appreciated my beauty,' as he told me," Curtain whispered, and Marisol looked at her with one eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Curtain… does he… like you, like you? Like a lot?" Marisol whisper asked, and Curtain nodded.

"Oh shoot," Marisol said, and Curtain shrugged.

"Shoot? What are you shooting?" Sans asked, as he looked towards the two, while they looked at him with raised eyebrows.

After explaining to Sans that 'Oh shoot' is used when someone is surprised, Curtain was able to drop Marisol off at her house, as they waved good-bye. Curtain drove back home, as she and Sans stood silent during the ride. She parked her car in front of her house, as she and Sans exited the vehicle.

"So, today was fun," Sans said, breaking the ice.

"Yeah. It was cool," Curtain said, as she stood in front of her door and opened the lock.

She turned around to see Sans standing a few feet away from the door.

"I'll see ya tomorrow Curtain. I'm sure your tired," Sans said, as he gave her one last wink and turned around to walk away.

"Your going home?" Curtain asked, and Sans stopped walking and replied with a "Yes."

"Where do you live, anyway?" Curtain asked.

Sans gave Curtain a smirk with one eyebrow raised, and said, "Three little words and you can see for yourself~"

Curtain slightly gasped, and then she gritted her teeth and growled, "Goodnight!"

She immediately entered her house and closed her door, while Sans just laughed, and then he teleported away. Curtain face-palmed, and said,

"A whole month… of that… why didn't I say a week?!"

I'm sure Sans wouldn't have agreed with a week, so a month was the best she would have gotten. ;)

One day down, twenty nine more to go. But I'm not going to do ALL twenty nine though. Just the more important days, I'll briefly talk about the others.

See ya soon.
