"Oh wow…." Aelita was speechless as they entered the mall. She never remembered a time she'd seen so many people. She was used to the people at Kadic academy, not this many new faces. She looked around with a childlike fascination.
"Impressive isn't it?" said Odd trying to break Aelita's trance.
Aelita still in a trance managed to say, "Yes it is."
The mall had two levels, to the right and left was huge areas lined with stores, and in front of them was a huge circular meeting area. There also was a clear glass elevator to their left and in front of them on the upper level was a food court.
"Earth to Aelita!"
"Huh?" Aelita blinked, "Yes Odd?"
"Phew! I thought I lost you for a minute there! Well I need to check out one store first. My order may have come in."
"Ok."
So then led by Odd they both walked over to a store with wall scrolls of Kenshin and Superman in the window, and cases of books and action figures stacked up by the windows.
"Aelita welcome to Fortress Games!"
The store was filled with games! DVD's and comics were to the left and a glass counter held many boxes of booster packs and card game supplies.
A man came out from the back of the store, "Odd!" He looked at the clock, "Your up before noon!"
Odd scratched his head in embarrassment "Well I'm taking Aelita around town before the dance tonight."
"Hi ummm…"
"My names Spike" said the man
"Oh!" Aelita smiled, "It's nice to meet you Spike."
Odd looked at Spike, "Spike… Did it come?"
"It did!" Odd jumped up and thrust his fist in the air. Spike then produced a small package, "Here you go."
"Yay!" Odd tore open the package and produces three cards.
Aelita looked over Odd's shoulder, "Can I see?" Odd let Aelita see the cards… and she began to laugh. The images on the cards were all of a purple cat girl named Neko Gal #2.
Odd produced a purple deck box, "You'll like these too!" He began to show her more cards. There was an orange and green cat girl, a ninja dog, a cat nipped kitty, a mad dog, and a winged lion with a scorpion's tail, "And here's the gigantic beast that rules all and eats what he wants!"
The image on the card was of a gigantic purple beast with horns and a huge mouth for eating up others.
Aelita began to laugh, "Big, purple, and eats what he wants? Are you related?" she giggled.
Odd blinked, "Ok… I kind of set myself up for that."
Aelita took Odd by the hand, "Come on Odd, I want to explore this mall."
Odd grinned, "Aright Princess."
They left the store and entered into the crowds.
Back at Kadic
Kiwi was hungry. He looked at the sleeping form in the bed next to his master's bed, and began to bark, but the person still slept. Kiwi barked again, still the person didn't wake, to give him yummy food! He was hungry and he was going to get fed! He hopped onto the bed and proceeded to lick the sleeper's face.
"Ahh!" Said Ulrich, "Kiwi stop! Odd feed Kiwi!" Ulrich tired to sleep but Kiwi kept licking him, "Odd! Feed," He turned to Odd's bed to find it empty.
"Wha? Odd never got up before noon on a Sunday…" thought Ulrich, but then he sighed and got up to feed the little pest.
At the mall
Odd sneezed and wondered if someone was thinking about him; but then his thoughts were interrupted when Aelita squealed in delight as she found a pink teddy bear to make at Build a Bear Workshop.
Back at Kadic
Ulrich after feeding Kiwi got dressed and headed for the cafeteria.
"Ulrich, hey!" Yumi ran up to Ulrich.
"Hi Yumi."
She looked around, "I guess Odd's either a sleep or in the cafeteria, eh?"
"I think he's neither."
Yumi turned and faced Ulrich, "WHAT!"
"I had to feed Kiwi and his bed was cold."
"Oh…" Said Yumi as they entered the cafeteria, "I wanted to see if the three of us wanted to see King Kong at the mall."
"You may see Odd and Aelita at the mall." Ulrich and Yumi stared at Rosa.
Ulrich trying to be polite, "Excuse me miss, but how do you know that?"
"Oh well you get a little bored after meal rushes, and you tent to let your ears wander."
Yumi looked confused, "Aelita was suppose to go with Jeremie to museums today."
"Well what I heard was Jeremie had to go sightseeing with his family because his aunt was in town only for today and Odd offered to take Aelita to the mall so she wouldn't be bored."
Yumi sighed, "I wish they would have told us."
"Well…" Ulrich blushed, "We can still go to the movie."
"Al...Alright." Yumi blushed.
Rosa smiled and watched them take their food and sit down together and thought, "Ah! Young love!"
Back at the mall
Odd and Aelita headed over to the food court for lunch.
"So where do you want to eat?" asked Odd.
Aelita looked at the crowds of people lined up at the different restaurants, "Umm… I think you should choose."
"To the Express Chinese Buffet!" Odd pulled Aelita along with him into the line.
With Ulrich and Yumi
"I'll bet we'll see Aelita and Odd here." said Yumi.
"Maybe, do you want some popcorn?"
"Sure." They both got in line for popcorn.
Back with Odd and Aelita
Odd scarified down his huge plate of Chinese food, but Aelita just poked at her food.
Odd noticed this, "Aelita what's wrong?"
"Well I've never seen food like this before."
"It's good! It's way better than what we get at school!" Odd leaned in and whispered, "Also trying new things instead of following a routine is something humans like us do that makes us different from evil super computers!"
That made Aelita smile, "Ok, I'll try some." She took a bite of some orange chicken, "This is good!"
"I know it is!" but Aelita didn't hear him because she was busy eating. Odd just smiled, he liked it when she was happy.
With Ulrich and Yumi
Ulrich went to grab some popcorn but he brushed Yumi's arm in the process. This caused Yumi to turn and stare at him.
Ulrich began to blush, "The ahh seats are a little close."
"Ummm… Yeah they are." She blushed too.
With Odd and Aelita
They had finished with their meals and were now wandering the mall.
"So what are you wearing to the dance?" Odd questioned Aelita
"This."
"Wha?" Odd blinked then acting like a French fashion designer, "Oh no madam, you can't wear that to the dance!" Aelita Giggled and Odd continued, "I must solve this fashion emergency!" Odd took Aelita by the hand and pulled her into Hot Topic.
"Ahhh…" Aelita cringed a bit at the gothic looking store, "Is this really a good store for me?"
"Yep!" Aelita looked at Odd and blinked, "One of their specialties is hot pink!"
"Really? Pink!" Aelita got excited.
"Yeah!" he led her to the section of hot pink clothes.
"Ouwww!"
Hours later
Odd and Aelita walked by the movie theater in the mall and were met by a pair of familiar faces.
"Yumi!"
"Odd!"
"Aelita!"
"Ulrich!"
"FRED!"
"ODD!"
"Heh…"
After the bus ride home
"Well I have to go home and get ready for the dance. See ya!" Yumi waved and took off for home.
Ulrich just blushed and smiled.
Odd noticed Ulrich's blush "Is there something you want to tell us?"
"Ahh… Well… MeandYumiaregoingtothedancetogether!"
Aelita looked amazed at the fact that Ulrich and Yumi was finally happening, "Wow! Ulrich and Yumi…"
Odd cut Aelita off, "Sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"ODD!"
"Whaaat!" Odd feigned innocence, "It's the truth! Well I need to get ready for the dance too!"
Aelita then was hit by a question, "What ARE you wearing?"
Ulrich looked up, "Yeah you never told us!"
"Well…" Aelita and Ulrich stared at Odd in anticipation, "It's a secrete!" They both groaned, "See ya!" Odd ran off leaving Aelita and Ulrich dumbfounded.
With Jeremie
Needless to say he was bored out of his mind, as his aunt Dorothy jabbered on about her travels.
Jeremie kept on thinking to himself, "Just one more hour… Just one more hour until the dance…"
