Nathan and Jill had gotten their first paycheque, all two weeks worth. They had worked hard for their money and had fun doing so, which is why they loved their job to pieces. Nathan had planned on saving some of his money and spending the rest on video games. It was Jill's idea to save the money and open a savings acccount to put it in. Nathan was reluctant at first but gave in after Jill as usual persuaded him to do the right thing. If he had a choice he would spend his whole cheque on silly little things like games and autographed basketballs. However Jill had other plans.

"This isn't exactly how I pictured spending my first paycheque on?" Nathan remarked as he and Jill walked around the mall. He was carrying her loads of bags, and they had only been to two stores so far.

"Really? Everytime I get my first cheque I always spend it on clothes. Besides I need a new fall wardrobe."

Nathan laughed. Her inner Brooke was shining through.

"Whatever happened to it being all about saving children in famine countries who have no clothes and no food?"

"I already mailed a cheque to the foundations," she smiled big.

He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

"Okay Mother Theresa, what's next on our agenda?"

"Hmmm seeing as we just got here. Remember Nathan that was only a half hour ago, we're in for a full day of shopping. You and me taking on the mall, excited?"

"It's not exactly winning the awards but I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty sure you'll make up for this mall day with something good."

"Oh I am. I know how much you hate shopping."

"Not when I'm doing it with you, no," he smirked.

Jill smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Anyways Mr. Suave. You and I are going go cart racing after and I'm going to win."

"I like the sound of that. Not the you winning part because I'm going to cream you."

"We'll see about that hot shot. Until then we shop. Sound good?"

"Sounds great."

She smiled and grabbed his arm. Perusing through each store she managed to grab loads of items to suit her different styles. She went from Hollister, to Hot Topic, straight down to really old vintage shops where she bought second hand outfits that people from the fifties wore. She liked the idea of wearing something someone had already worn. To her it was a part of history. The person who owned it before could've been in the first World War or was one of the many women who fought for feminine rights. History fascinated her on so many levels. She even got Nathan to try on outfits with her and buy a couple of really cool things. The two were having a blast pretending they were from different centuries in time.

"Okay, whoever wore this outfit was a total nerd," Nathan looked down at the goofy metallic shirt he grabbed to try on.

Jill laughed hysterically. She grabbed a wig and put it in his shirt to make it look like he had a hairy chest.

"Aww come on you look like Austin Powers."

He mustered up his best Austin Powers impersonation.

"Do I make you horny baby?"

Jill laughed hysterically in her dressing room, coming out in her outfit.

"I'm your counterpart. I'm Foxy Cleopatra and I'm a whole lot of woman," she giggled in her gold suit and huge afro wig, "this suit is so uncomfortable my boobs don't even fit in this shirt, it's huge."

Nathan looked at her. She was wearing tight gold bell bottoms and a gold top that was indeed too big for her.

"You look cute."

"Nuh uh, I look like a twelve year old girl in the sixties attempting to wear my big sister's club 54 dance suit."

The two laughed throughout the whole experience. They probably tried on every outfit in the store creating their own characters from each one. Jill's favourite was Nathan in a freaky looking space suit and Nathan's favourite was Jill in a Renaissance gown. She looked like a princess, plus her boobs popped out of the corset like there was no tomorrow. They had their memories imprinted on Nathan's phone. He planned on saving Jill's picture and deleting his so no one would ever see it. He was stopped when Jill made him promise to send it to her.

Out of all the things they tried on they only came out with very large sunglasses. Hers was bright orange and his was neon green. She made him walk around the mall in them.

"Oooh Nathan come," she pulled him towards the four dollar picture booth.

"Uh, no. I already have to walk around with these glasses on I don't want it to be saved for future viewing."

"Don't be such a baby, come."

They neared the booth and stood outside of it. There was a couple using it at the moment so Nathan and Jill waited a bit.

After the couple picked up their pictures Jill opened the booth.

"We're not going to fit," Nathan looked in to the small box," you, me, and all these bags."

"Leave it to me to make it fit, you just sit on the seat," she moved all the bags under the seat and on the floor piling them on top of one another. The little bags were cramped into the little corners.

"I told you we can't fit," Nathan looked around. There was no space to move with all the bags, "where are you going to sit?"

"On your lap silly," she went into the booth and sat on his right knee.

Nathan began to feel hot in there. Him and Jill together in the booth not able to move or go anywhere. Plus she was sitting really close to his you know what. It was a perfect moment to kiss but he knew that that wasn't going to happen.

"Am I hurting you?" Jill interrupted him.

He shook his head. How could he complain? Even if he was getting hurt there was no way he would say something in disappointment of her getting off.

"You ready?"

"Yeah," he said in a whisper. Why did he have to eat an onion infested burger earlier? He was sure he had onion breath which is why he didn't talk much. It was a small booth and all.

"Okay I don't like planned pictures like other people do, too boring. So when you see the green light just do anything, got it?"

"Aye aye Captain."

She giggled and hit him. Reaching into her pockets she pulled out four dollars. Moving close to the dispenser she popped the coins in and moved back putting her arm on Nathan's shoulder. It was more comfortable that way.

"I can't just pose, it's too weird," Nathan thought it was ridiculous.

"Come on Nathan when the green light comes on just do something, anything."

"But I don't know wh.."FLASH. The first picture was taken while Nathan was talking, "great I wasn't ready."

"That's the best part of it, okay green light, be ready this time," Jill stuck out her tongue while Nathan just smiled akward.

"Aww what an ugly smile," Jill giggled.

"Hey," he started tickling her.

"No Nathan stop, don't I hate getting tickled. Oh my gosh," she was laughing hysterically, so was Nathan. FLASH went the camera, while they were busy tickle wrestling each other.

Calming herself down, Jill pulled it together.

"Okay last one, let's make it pretty."

"Pretty?" Nathan scrunched his face.

"Yeah green light," she warned one last time. She leaned in and kissed his cheek right at the click, "pretty one see?"

Nathan just sat there. He was caught by surprise from that last shot. She just all of a sudden kissed him on the cheek. Of course he would have preferred it to be on the lips but it was still good. To feel her warm lips touch his cheek, was just wow! He wanted so bad to grab her and kiss her. The picture booth wasn't so bad after all, he grinned.

Jill got off his lap and gathered her bags as she waited for the pictures. Once Nathan regained his composure he joined her.

"Oh my gosh I can see up your nose," Jill giggled as she held up the photo strip for her and Nathan to see.

"I told you I wasn't ready. I think we should burn that one."

"No You look cute with your confused open mouthed face, I'm keeping this one."

"What about that one?" He pointed to the second one.

"The one with your ugly smile?"

He laughed, "I think it looks cool."

"No I know, you're right. It's very what shall we call it? Meek little boy. I'm keeping it!"

Nathan laughed, "okay you got two already I'm keeping the last ones." Damn right he wanted to keep the last two, especially the last one.

Jill thought for a bit, "hmmm okay I look funny in those ones."

He thought she was crazy. She looked good in all her pictures. He just favoured the last two more because one had the infamous kiss on the cheek and there was no way he was losing that one. While the other had her laughing, both of them.

"Im going to stick these bad boys in my scrapbook once I get home. The title will be called 'Mall Rats: The Adventure' what do you think?"

"Weird title but okay."

"What are you going to do with yours?"

Nathan thought for a bit.

"Ummm. I'm going to put them," he took out his wallet, "in here. Right where you're supposed to put your i.d. I don't like my driver's license picture anyways so problem solved."

"Cool," she smiled, "see our mall day wasn't so bad was it now? We had fun."

"Yeah you're right, it wasn't sooo bad."

"Mhmmm I'm always right," she giggled, "now enough of this, let's go cart."

She grabbed Nathan's arm leading him towards the mall exit. Nathan followed with a smirk as he put his wallet back in his pocket. It was as if they were a couple, just not a couple couple, like Lucas said.
