SUMMARY: Max finally finds Jondy

AUTHORS NOTE: On request, a Melbourne Shopping experience.

The Press Conferance was tonight and Jondy knew she had to take Max to the Melbourne Shops during her trip so the conference made the excuse come quick. Max isn't going to know what hit her when she sees Bourke Street Mall, Highpoint, and Chapel Street all in the one day. Max was already psyched about the fact there is trams and trains in Melbourne. Max is going to flip when she sees the amount of shops Chapel Street has.

Max never slept and neither did Jondy so they were up bright and early. We walked the three blocks to the tram stop on Swanston Street and traveled down until it stopped at Bourke Street. At the Tram Stop, Max got of and had the biggest grin on her face. She may be a bit of a tomboy, but today she is gonna become a chocaholic.

The first shop they hit was Myer and Jondy lead Max strait over to the A-Z of Perfumes.

"So, I know Perfume isn't really something you wear in the states but here, everybody wears it. This perfume is called "pinacle tint" and is by Australian Designer Collette Dinnigan. Collette is quiet old know but she still knows her fashion and Perfume. Have a try. This is my favorite fragrances." Max took hold of the bottle and a spray card and sprayed the bottle onto it. She let it dry a bit and then took a snif.

"It smells kind of like pineapple mixed with a little vanilla. It really exotic." The colour really wasn't Max though so Jondy decided she better select one perfect for her.

"You seem like a berry fragrance. I think Red Ol'e is more you. Lisa Ho is who created that fragrance." Again Max tried the perfume. Max smiled at the smell. It smelled of soft berry with a tiny bit of lavender. Jondy seemed to only ever select the fruity fragrances.

"That is so nice. How much is it?"

"$180! It's designer product so you have to pay a lot. It's better to just come in and spray yourself with the tester." Max started moving and doubled back. She sprayed a heap of Red Ol'e and then caught up to Jondy.

In Myer's formal area, Max and Jondy had tried on a heap of dresses. They had fun modeling them to each other, Jondy even took a few photo's of Max with a camera she always carried. They were down to three dresses they really liked and couldn't decide which they prefered.

"Okay, the off the shoulder one looks good but the purple one just really loves you. The black one shows of all the flesh in the right places. Logan would definately be in danger in that one! What do you think of me." Jondy was obviously loving the whole experience. Max couldn't believe how beutiful everything was.

"Well I definatly think that the lime is your colour, the orange one really makes you look sexy but the purple one just screams 'I'm a sex God.' Do you want the guys to go gaga at this conference or do you want them looking at your face.

"I think I'll go with the Purple!" Jondy grinned and skipped over to the dressing room and changed. Max did the same and decided she was going to make the choice now. She thought about Logan and decided to think about what Logan would like her to wear. The decision came and the black one selected. It had just the slightest bit of red in it and it was halter designed which cut at knee length to flow out and show Max's knees. It had barely any back material and definately would catch the eye of any man who walked by her. She decided she'd wear her hair out and curl it like she used to. She was going to remind Logan of the girl he feel in love with.

"Max, next we'll go to get some lunch and then I'm gonna take you to get some shoes and I'm gonna get my hair done. You should to, if you wear that black dress, some red streaks would really make it look hot." Max began thinking about what Logan would say when he saw her. She knew he'll want to touch her and this part began to depress Max. Max is going to stir up everything inside of Logan. Max is going to stir up everything in Logan and they'll be back to being depressed again. Thinking about it was really getting Max down.

"Max, we gotta move. For a soldier, your moving like a turtle." With that, Max looked herself in the mirror, now dressed in her everyday clothes and mouthed to herself 'Logan, we're gonna get through this. I promise you.' Max stepped outta the changing room and were of to make there purchases.
