Title: Christmas Story Part 3: The Mall!!!
~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning everyone, even Face got up early and had breakfast together.

Mandy: Time to go shopping!

All the guys: What?!

Athena: Yeah! Shopping!! FUN!!!

Face turns and leaves.

Mandy: Where do you think you are going?

Face: Back to bed. I ain't gonna go shopping. (Face walked on. Mandy walked up to him, grabbed his ear, and pulled him back.)

Mandy: Ain't, gonna, those words aren't in my vocabulary. Plus I think that it would be nice if you bought some presents for your friends.

All the while Face: Oww, oww, owww, OWW!!

Mandy: Understand Lieutenant?

Face looked to Hannibal for some help.

Hannibal: Don't look at me. I am not going to help you.

Face: Fine! (Mandy let go. HE rubbed his ear.) But I don't have to like it.

About an hour and a half later the Murdock's and the Face's piled into Mandy's corvette, while the B.A.'s and the Hannibal's got into the van. Tanya took her own car.

They drove to the new Big HUGE mall.

Murdock: (Looking at it) Wow! Someone can easily get lost in this place.

Face: Yeah, so don't you go doing that.

Athena: Don't you worry, we won't!

Mandy: Yeah right.

Mandy parked into a parking spot, Tanya parked next to them, and they got out, the two Hannibal's got out of the van and the B.A.'s drove off.

Athena: Hey, where are they going?

George: They need to go and get some car parts for the other van.

Murdock: Ohhh. Those B.A.'s always doing manly car stuff. (Murdock puts his arm around Face's neck.) Now why don't you ever do anything like that?

Mandy: Because he's not manly enough. (She walked past them. For the first time ever Face didn't say anything. Face walked up to Mandy and pushed her into a big snow pile.) Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Face: What? Don't like the snow?

Mandy: Nope. Love the snow, just a little cold. Help me up?

Face: Yeah right! (He walked on.)

Mandy: Meany!!

Hannibal came over: Come on kid.

Mandy: Thanks. (Taking Hannibal's offered hand and getting up. Then brushing the snow off of her.) Oh course Hannibal, you know this means war. (She picked up a lot of snow, run up quietly to Face, and dumped it on his head.)

Face: Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Mandy: Oh, what's wrong?

Face: Oh nothing. Just went down the back of my shirt and it's COLD!!

Mandy left and ran the rest of the way to the mall.

Murdock to Athena: And they say that we're immature and little kids.

Athena: Tell me about it!

They walked into the first department store that they saw. It was called Tannenbaum.

Face: Tannenbaum? That sounds something that Athena would call her store.

Athena: Ha Ha, funny Faceman!

Tanya: Ooooo! Look at all the fashionable scarfs! (She holds one out) I always wanted to get one of these for Amy. (She said with a sinister smile.)

Athena: Nooooooo!!!!! Don't kill Amy!!! (Inside joke.)

Tanya just looks at her: I am not going to kill Amy! What gave you that idea?

Mandy: She saw something on the computer once before and she took it rather seriously.

Tanya: Well, I have A LOT of shopping to do and more fashionable scarf's to pick out. (Tanya left)

Mandy: I don't think that we are gonna find anything here, why don't we go out and look around.

George: Sounds good to me.

They left the store.

Mandy: Now Athena you stay close to us. I don't want you to get lost.

Athena: Fine.

While walking down the hallway Athena saw a little vender that was selling smooth, shiny, cool looking rocks.

Athena stopped and looked at them: SHINNEYS!!!!!! (She never said anything to Mandy or the others so they kept on walking without her. So therefore she was now lost.)

They kept on walking when Murdock looked into a department store and saw those kinds of mannequins that don't have heads. Murdock stopped to look at them: Aw. Poor kids, they don't have any heads. (He never said anything to the rest so they kept on walking, so therefore Murdock was now lost too.)

Mandy turned around to see if everyone was still behind her, but they weren't: Great were did they go!!!

Jason: I wouldn't worry about it. You know how they are, they probably saw something interesting went to go see it, and forgot to tell us that they were going.

Mandy: You're probably right.

Jason: Of course I'm right. They're two nuts. It's the most reasonable explanation.

Mandy: Unless they really did get lost.

Jason: I don't think so.

Hannibal: Well, considering that they broke away with each other, or go lost, why don't we split up. We can cover more ground and we can meet later.

Face: Sounds good to me.

Mandy walks over to a mall map: Let's see, why don't we meet at the Disney Store at 2:00p.m?

Face: The Disney Store?

Mandy: Of course.

Jason: Sounds good to me.

Hannibal: Good-bye Lieutenants.

Mandy: Bye Colonels.

(They walk away from each other.)
