Kai sighed all the others had went to the mall that is everyone except Melinda. She was sitting across from him reading. They were in the library the one room that seemed to be the busiest. He didn't know what she was reading since she was there before he entered the room. It had been two weeks form when Serenity left and she still had those pictures.
"Why?" He asked out loud.
"Pardon?" She asked looking up at him. Her eyes looked at him with a questioning shine to them.
"Why do you keep those pictures?" He asked looking at her in the eye.
"Just something to have in case I'm in a little jam. Would you do anything if I said I would post the picture of you changing Serenity's diaper all over the Internet?" She asked with a small smile.
"No." He said as he thought. Then he noticed she had gone back to her book. "What are you reading?"
"Nothing really just something on the theory of meditation. I can write fiction but I don't really like reading it." She said and then handed him a notebook on the side table next to her. He opened the book and found a short story written in neat cursive. He read it getting lost in the story then when it came to the end the story just dropped with no real end to it.
"Where is the rest of it?" He asked looking up at her smile.
"In here." She said pointing to his head. "You can come up with an end since there is no real end to it. To tell you the truth I ended it because I had writers block. It sounded perfect like that and I don't think I'll ever change it." She said with a shrug and closing the now finished book. She stretched and yawned before standing up and put away the book. "So." She said as he looked at the notebook.
"Can I keep this until I read all the stories in it?" He asked and she smiled with a nod.
"Sure I have another one with the current stories I'm writing." She said then sat down. "Knowing the other girls we won't see them for hours." She said and he chuckled.
"It's surprising that you're their friend." He said and she had to laugh with him.
"Naw I'm not really their friend more of an acquaintance." She said as she sunk deeper into her chair. "We met when they asked if I could help them train. So here I am."
"You came by choice?" Kai asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Yea. Did you see their training zone?" Melinda asked with a smile. "Speaking of which want to see how we stack up to each other in the beydish?" She asked and they went to find out which of the two were better.
~*Meanwhile at the mall*~
"Don't you think we've gone to enough clothing stores?" Kevin asked as three of the four girls they were staying with went into yet another clothing stores.
"They'll be going like this for hours." Rebecca said sitting down on a bench. "I wonder where the closest book store is. I want to see if they have that book I want to get and we don't have at the library at home."
"The next bookstore is a few stores down next to the candy store." Robert said looking at the map of the mall.
"Candy store? Did you say Cccccaaaannnnndddddyyy Sssstttttoooooorrrrrrreeeee?" Max asked then a large smile stretched across his face and he took off in the direction Robert had pointed.
"Save us god please." Ray said and they all left the three girls in the clothing store to go after Max.
"You just had to say candy store didn't you?" Lee asked knowing what happens when Max is sugar high. "He doesn't need sugar or caffeine. He's already naturally sugar high as it is." They watched as he went into the candy store but Rebecca went into the bookstore to get her book. Once she entered however she ran into a man.
"Sorry." She made her quick apology before going off to find the book she wanted to read. Once she found it she noticed that the man she ran into was watching her out of the corner of his eye. She just shrugged it off and went on her way. While at the register she noticed that another man standing off to the side was also watching her and then she realized it. The two were none other then two of Melinda's cousins.
"Will that be all Rebecca?" The clerk asked and she looked at him finding that he too was another one of the some three hundred odd relatives Melinda was related to.
"Yes." Rebecca said also seeing that out in the hall the group was trying to keep Max away from the candy store without making too much of a scene.
"Are you sure? We offer costumers a membership. Would you like to join?" The clerk asked. He was out of the three the oldest. He wasn't that tall but not that short, he had black porcupine hair (you know it's really short and sticks up), and like the other ones looked Native American. Dressed in a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans with his nametag on, he smiled his brown eyes showing nothing but happiness.
"No, by the way your nametag says 'Stupid Dan'." Rebecca informed him and he looked at it. She took this time to leave the store and to go sit on a bench while watching the group either act like they didn't know Max and the ones keeping him away from the candy store or were the ones that were trying to keep him away.
"This is so uncouth." Robert said as he sat near her.
"I don't know I think it's a fun sight to watch." Johnny said from where he was leaning against the railing of the second floor walkway. Just then the three girls came up carrying some bags. They went over to Enrique who was sitting a few feet away from Rebecca.
"Enrique-poo." Samantha said sitting in his lap making him beam with happiness.
"What is it?" He asked as Rebecca had to stifle a laugh and Robert and Johnny rolled their eyes.
"Can you buy me some more clothes? Taylor is being mean and won't give me anymore money." Samantha said with her arms around Enrique. Just then a laugh caught their attention and there was Melinda and Kai walking up eating ice cream. "Hey! I thought you two didn't want to come. Why did you change your minds?" (A/N: Mel: My ice cream is mint chocolate chip, his ice cream vanilla)
"Kai didn't want to get beaten by me for a tenth time in a row." Melinda said then stopped and looked around suspiciously.
"O'Drama what is it?" Rebecca asked and Melinda shushed her.
"Quiet. They're here. I don't want them to know I'm here." Melinda said and the guys looked at her as if she were crazy.
"Who Mele Mel Melz?" Samantha asked and Melinda shushed her as well.
"My-" Melinda said but someone coming up and hugging her stopped her sentence.
"Shadow how've you been? It's been a long time cuz." The man Rebecca ran into said. He was like Dan the register man but he was taller. He had broad shoulders and just had a blue t-shirt, black jeans, and sneakers on. "Oh ice cream." He said and took Melinda's ice cream. "Thanks."
"Jesse." Melinda growled while glaring at him. He just at her ice cream happily, not paying attention to her as he used her head as an armrest. "Gr. ICE CREAM STEALER!!" Melinda shouted at him and Max stopped and looked at her. "Give it back or I'll, I'll, I'll gnaw your arm off." She threatened and he just chuckled and patted her on the head.
"I know you wouldn't do that to your favorite cousin." He said but he had to clench his teeth as she jumped up and grabbed onto his arm only to gnaw on his arm. "Hey off!" He said trying to shake her off but it was no use. (A/N: Mel: I've done this before. Actually it was on the last trip to see them. Jesse: yes and your teeth hurt)
"Louise, just give her back her ice cream." The last cousin said coming out of the bookstore. He was shorter of the three and looked like Dan with a mustache. He also looked a little high. He was dressed in a simple gray t- shirt, blue jeans, and some nice sneakers. The others around them just looked on as if they were crazy, which was probably true.
"First get her off." Jesse said shaking his arm some more only for Melinda's grip to tighten.
"Demon off." The last (which is unnamed at the moment) cousin said and Melinda listened to him. She dropped off of her cousin's arm that was now a wonderful shade of red. "Now give her back her ice cream." He said and Melinda waited for her prized treat.
"But Steve." Jesse whined slightly then got a glare from the other man. He unwillingly gave up the ice cream and handed it back to Melinda who took it happily and began to enjoy the sweet cold treat again. Just then a laugh caught ever one's attention and they found Dan standing in the doorway of the bookstore laughing.
"You should get that checked. You don't know what diseases she may carry." He said in between laughs. Just then Taylor, Rebecca, and a few of the boys began to laugh.
"Oh shut up." Melinda said then a sly smirk appeared on her face. "Stupid Dan." She said making Dan shut up right away. Soon laughter and smirks were coming from the group.
"Don't call me that." Dan said going up to her. He may not have been that tall but he easily stood looking down at the innocent looking cousin that that was eating ice cream.
"What?" She asked as she began to finish her ice cream. "Stupid Dan?"
"Yes that."
"Well." She said throwing away her napkin that she was using to hold her ice cream. "Stupid Dan, Stupid Dan, Stupid Dan." She said with a crafty smile then dodged a whack on the head. "Buh-bye now." She said leaving, one ticked off cousin, one laughing cousin, and one cousin that was nursing his sore arm. The group caught up with her as she went to the other end of the mall.
"Those were your cousins?" Oliver asked looking back in the direction the three cousins where.
"Well three of them anyway." Melinda said with a shrug and a smile. "They're a lot better then some of my female cousins. Eesh." She said with a shiver and a wince. "Well let's get off that subject. Um what to do now?" She thought out load then she looked over to a store and a large smile appeared on her face. The store she spotted was downstairs so she quickly went down the stairs and right into a Candy Store. However Kai had Max out of there before anything bad happened. Melinda on the other hand seemed to be okay then walked out with a smile on her face and a bag of candy casually tossed over her shoulder.
"Now Melinda, don't eat any candy. Remember the last time you got sugar high?" Samantha said and Melinda thought and a large smile appeared on her face and she chuckled evilly.
"Well anyway I'm back off home before I run into any more of my cousins." Melinda said as she began to leave.
"Take Max with you." Kai said shoving the poor blonde at Melinda. Melinda looked at him then shrugged.
"Have you ever driven a motorcycle before?" Melinda asked Max as they began to walk off.
"No." Max answered and Melinda nodded but before they both left they went into a candy store then a store dedicated to the art of pranking and playing jokes on people a.k.a the PRANK STORE as it was called. "Why are we in here?"
"To stock up on tormenting tools to entertain the utterly bored and hyper." Melinda said with an evil chuckle that Max soon shared since he had his bag of candy as well. After getting a few things they left and went out to the parking lot. There in a nearby Motorcycle parking lot off to the side there was a black and silver motorcycle awaiting them. (A/N: Mel: This mall is weird ne?) Melinda gave a helmet to Max and put one on her head. She got on and Max got on behind her.
"So this is how you got to the mall. Did Kai bring one?" Max asked putting his arms around Melinda as she started up the bike.
"Naw, he got to sit where you're sitting now." Melinda said and with that they took off.

He favored the Pats over the Titans on the today. (Jan. 10) Which they WON! I just don't like how he favors the Yankees. Obviously that makes me GO RED SOX! Can you tell where I live? Now, who's he? He will just remain he!
