Just then Brandon walked up to them. Bloom's lips slowly formed a smile as she saw him approaching them. "H-hey, Brandon. What's up?"

"Bloom, are you okay?" Brandon said, first smiling, then when he noticed her red face, a look of concern passed over his face.

"Y-yah, I'm ok." Bloom said, wiping away a stray tear, smiling again. When Brandon saw her smile, he just seemed to melt.

"So...where are the others?" he asked, feeling more at ease now.

"Still browsing," Flora replied, sighing. Little did they know that the shuffling sound hadn't ceased.

"Would you shut up?" Icy hissed.

"Sorry, sorry," Darcy said. "Brandon's a lot hotter than Riven. Why didn't I ever realize it?"

"Shut up!" Stormy snapped as well. They crept through the aisles of the shoe store. Icy accidentaly stepped on Darcy's foot, and she shrieked outloud.

"GREAT JUST GREAT!" Icy screamed, now that their cover had supposedly been blown. But, in fact, it hadn't. Bloom, Flora, and Brandon had left for the food court.

At the foodcourt, Flora went to get them some food, and Brandon and Bloom were left at the table alone. Bloom felt sort of self-conscious at first, but her mind kept telling her to relax, so eventually that's what she did. "So, why exactly were you crying?" Brandon finally asked her after what seemed like forever. "Did you and Flora have a fight?"

"No, no, not at all...well, sort of...it's very confusing..." Bloom stuttered, shifting in her seat slightly (try saying that 5 times fast! LOL, sorry, I couldn't help that one!)

"Ok? Well, we've got a while."

"You see...I had a strange feeling , like something bad would happen...but I didn't know for sure, so I didn't wanna ruin their fun. Well, Flora saw that I wasn't having fun, so she asked what was wrong, like she had been for a while, and I just .. I don't know... blew up. Then I explained the weird feeling to her, and she confirmed it was very strange as well." Through all this, Brandon sat and listened intently. When she was through, he confirmed as well that it was strange. Finally, Flora arrived with their food and they ate.
