The next day Michaela was feeling much better she felt like she could trust Lu and Mark. Lu wanted to go shopping with Michaela to get her new cloths and to buy her some other things that a little girl might like.

"Mark we're off we're going to stop at the clinic and then we're going to go and do some girl things you sure you don't want to go it's going to be a lot of fun."

"That's ok mom really I'd rather have fun here"

"Ok Michaela are you ready to go?"

"Yap all ready let me go grab my coat"

After Lu stopped at the clinic they went off to the mall to go shopping Mike couldn't believe that she was actually going to get all new cloths for herself when she was with her aunt and uncle it was mostly hand-me-downs or cloths from the Salvation Army.

"So what kind of things do you think we should get school will be starting soon do you like dresses?"

"Yeah I like all kinds of cloths dresses and pants can I get a pink book bag with flowers on it?"

"Sure and we can get some shoes and get a nice winter coat and rain coat we're going to have so much fun I love shopping how about you."

"Well I don't really remember shopping a lot with my parents I know I didn't with my aunt she was to busy are you sure it's ok to get all these things it's really expensive."

"Don't worry about that I want you to feel comfortable and make you feel like your at home because you know your going to be with me for a long long time your not going anywhere any time soon. You know what I was thinking mark gets an allowance for dong things around the house how about I give you some simple chores like make sure your room is clean make your bed and you can alternate with Mark setting and clearing the table you can get five dollars a week does that sound fair to you"

"Really I can get paid for doing things my aunt never paid me that sound really cool"

Michaela and Lu did a lot of shopping as they were shopping Mike thought that if she saved enough money she could buy Mark and Lu something to thank them for being so kind to her when she got home she would have to make a list of things they might like.
