Author: I'm sorry I haven't updated. Major brain decay in writing area; aka writers block.

Disclaimer: I do now own any anime or characters do own the plot and original characters.

Ami stared at the people as they talked in small groups and walked to store to store. She sat on a wooden bench next to Duo, who watched her and pointed new things out as he saw them. Ami's love of learning let her shine, and listen intently to Duo.

He was showing her what a "mall" was. It was interesting, Ami thought. Duo suddenly jumped out of the seat as his cell gave an annoying vibrating sound as it buzzed. He smiled weakly at Ami and looked at it. He held a finger and flipped it open effortlessly and talked into it.

"Hello?" He asked gently with his usual cheeriness. Starting to chatter, Ami tuned out of his conversation and thought about what she learned about the mall. She learned what stores was, large business with clothes and other items. A cell phone- a device you can talk into and hear other people. And many other things like food courts, certain pants and items she would have never imagine.

Duo shut the cell phone quietly and stood facing away from Ami with a smile. "Well Ami, we have to go now. The others will be at Quatre's any moment. Shall we go?" He asked her. But Ami didn't answer.

"What?" He said confused. Turning to Ami was, he gaped. Ami wasn't there. Duo's shoulders dropped into a slope and looked around, seeing a small glimpse of her neko tail, which she try to hide with a long robed jacket, from Quatre's advice. But her small figure was engulfed by the unusual hall filling crowds.

Putting a determined face set, he walked after her, and he didn't have to blink twice as she disappeared from his sight. Groaning, he jogged t where he last saw her, only to bump into a young teenager girl.

Mumbling his apologies to her, he looked on, barely catching her hair color. Not liking this cat-mouse game. He sprinted toward the blue bob, catching up, he grabbed the shoulder.

"AMI!" He said in joy, the girl turned, Duo faced a blue haired girl-who died her hair that way. Her pimply face gave Duo a start.

"You're not Ami!" He exclaimed. The girl shook her head sadly. "Nope!" She said as she disappeared into the crowds.

Duo gave a growl of frustration. Not willing to go to Quatre's mansion without Ami, He looked around desperately. Why was it so crowded in here? He asked himself as he saw no sign of her. He stood in the mist of the crowds, being avoided by sale shoppers, teens, and older people.

"Where are you Ami?" He asked himself under his breath. A small finger tapped his left shoulder. Wearily he turned around. Turning he came face to face of Ami Neko-Winner. Duo smiled and hugged her quickly. Ami blinking as she saw the rapid movement in detail, Duo hugged her; unexpectedly she tensed and loosened as he let go of her.

"Where did you go Ami?" He demanded. He felt his worry wash away from his body. Quatre might have killed him if he called him and said that he lost her. His violet eyes matched up to her sapphire eyes. "Ami?" He asked now more gently.

Ami shifted uneasily. I saw something, it was really shiny! It was made out of silver and hung in the glass display on a cat. I couldn't help it. I was attracted to it." She said softly, looking away in embracement.

Duo smiled and patted the top of her hair, between her white angelic neko ears. She smiled purred loudly. Her tail raised in joy. Duo chuckled and nodded. "Alright then, let's go." H said with confusion in his voice. Ami was attracted to shiny metal things? He thought with a bit of a laugh.

A: I know it was short, but still wanted to let you guys know that I'm here-with writers block, but still here. I'm working on the next chapter and it should be up soon! I promise!
