It was around 2 in the afternoon when Frankie came by to pick them up. Stacy, Mac and Bloo were the first to jump onto the bus, while Wilt carried Stephanie in his arm, setting her gently in the handicap zone of the bus. After helping Sarah with Stephanie's wheelchair, Frankie started to drive off, looking at the group through the rearview mirror:

"So did you guys have fun?" Frankie asked with a smile.

"We sure did!" Stacy shouted happily hugging her new pink back pack, "now I got something when school starts."

"When does school start Stacy?" Sarah asked.

"It starts in two weeks," Stacy said with a smile, "so I still have time to enjoy my summer vacation."

"cool! Lets go to the beach, oh wait! What about the amusement park?! They got this ride that would totally make you spew just by riding it one time," Bloo smiled.

"Wow! Cool!" Stacy

"Maybe we can plan a trip there sometime before school starts," Mac smiled as the three looked at Stephanie.

Stephanie looked at the three saying, "I have no problem with it. We will plan a trip sometime next week."

"YAY!" the three shouted

Sarah smiled at the trio, It was great to see her youngest creator happy again, and being there to see it was all the worth while, her smiled faded when she looked at Stacy's pants, seeing a couple of sewed up patches and torn fabric.

"Stacy, what happened to your pants?" Sarah asked.

"Oh these?" Stacy looked down to her pants, "I had these for a while now."

Stephanie looked at her little sister after hearing Sarah asked her question, "you ruined those pants already?"

"they are my favorite!" Stacy whined to older sister.

Stephanie rolled her eyes, "now I am going to have to take you clothes shopping again."

"well, if you want, we can stop at the mall along the way, I was planning to go there to pick up a couple new CD's anyway." Frankie smiled looking at Stephanie through the rearview mirror.

"That's not a bad idea, what do you say Stacy?" Stephanie looked back to her little sister who just smiled and nodded in reply. Stephanie smiled then looked to Sarah, "how about you Sarah? Would you like some new clothes too?"

"Oh no no no! its alright, I have plenty of clothes back at the foster home," Sarah said waving her hands in don't bother with me motion.

"Do you still wear that apron you were created with?" Stephanie asked.

"Yes…" Sarah answered.

"Then you need some new clothes…come on Sarah, its been years…at least let me buy you are few outfit, I think out of all people, you deserve it," Stephanie smiled.

"I think you like to wear something else other than the apron that you wear on an almost constant basis," Wilt smiled as he wrapped his arm around her bring her close to him.

Sarah blushed a little to the closeness, she could hear his heart, it was listening to a drum, a soft melodious tapping of a drum, she found it soothing and very relaxing. She smiled as she leaned her head on his chest saying, "well, if you guys really think so."

"YAY! Shopping!" Stacy shouted.

"Ew! Shopping! Blah!" Mac and Bloo moaned.

Wilt chuckled a little to Mac and Bloo and hugged Sarah close to him as he smiled down at her.

Once at the mall, Frankie suggested that they split up, Frankie would go to the music store while Stephanie, Stacy and Sarah went clothes shopping. Wilt didn't mind watching over Mac and Bloo since shopping wasn't their cup of tea.

Seeing Sarah walk off with the girls, Wilt waved to them then turned to the guys saying, "Alright guys, what do you want to do?"

"VIDEO GAMES!!!!" Mac and Bloo shouted running towards the arcade center.

Wilt just rolled his eye and followed them in.

The girls decided to walked into a summer clothing store since summer was coming to an end most of the clothes were going on sale. Stacy walked with her sister and Sarah as they went into the jean section of the store and grabbed a few for her to try on.

While Stacy was trying on some new pants, Sarah was looking at a rack of t-shirts as she picked out a few for the girls when she heard Stephanie shout, "Sarah!"

Sarah walked towards the sound of Stephanie's voice, holding her pile of shirts in her arms when she saw Stephanie in a dress lane. Stephanie pulled down a sundress of pink with white flowers along the one corner of it with white rims.

Stephanie smiled at Sarah, "What do you think?"

Sarah looked at the dress and smiled, "its beautiful."

"Great, I want you to try it on and see if it fits," Stephanie rolled up to Sarah giving her dress.

"Oh Stephanie I couldn't-" Sarah said as she was giving a white short sleeve over jacket.

"Just try it…I guarantee, you will love it." Stephanie smiled.

Sarah looked at her then looked at the outfit in front of her, "Well…I suppose I could give it a try."

Stacy walked up to them with a smile giving Stephanie a few pairs of blue jeans, "I like these ones the most, they won't show as much dirt when I play softball," Stephanie just rolled her eyes at her with a smile, Stacy then turned to Sarah giving her a black two piece bathing suit, "while I was looking around, I picked this one out for you."

Sarah looked at the bathing suit and blushed, "I couldn't…"

"Come on Sarah…just try it." Stephanie smiled sweetly as did Stacy, giving her those big Puppy dog eyes.

"Well…" Sarah looked at the outfits and then at the girls, she inwardly sighed thinking…what's the harm?

After about an hour or so, The guys met back with Frankie in the main entrance while they waited for the other girls.

"I beat you to Race Car Mania and you know it!" Bloo shouted.

"You kept on crashing in to the walls!" Mac shouted back.

"They don't count because if they weren't there, I would still be first so there," Bloo stuck his tongue out at Mac.

"Alright you guys, Cut it out" Wilt said to the two then looked at Frankie, "where are the other girls?"

Frankie shrugged, "Not sure, I told them to meet us back in an hour."

"Sorry guys!" Stephanie called out, rolling up with Stacy in her lap holding the bags of clothes, " we got a little tied up."

Wilt smiled, "that's alright, as long you….got…what…" he started to say till he saw something that distracted his train of thought. Sarah came around the corner of a store, dressed in the summer dress with white cover jacket on. Wilt couldn't believe it, she looked so….lovely in pink.

"wow, you look really pretty Sarah," Frankie smiled, "Of course everything you wear looks lovely. I think even if you were to dress in rags, you would still look lovely."

Sarah blushed a little, "Please, stop."

Wilt walked up to her with a smile and gently took her hand, "I believe her, it seems with every outfit you put on, you take my breath away."

Sarah looked up at him, her face now bright bright red from the lovely compliment she was just given by the man she adored and loved.

"Yeah yeah, she looks really nice, can we leave now?" Bloo said followed by a hit in the head, "OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" he looked to Stacy angrily.

"I felt like it," Stacy said with a smile.

"Alright, Alright you guys, lets get our stuff and head on home, Tonight is BBQ pool party!" Frankie said excitedly.

The trio jumped up in excitement that was easily broken when Stephanie said, "I am not sure we can stay, I have to work tomorrow morning and…"

"Oh come on Sis, I don't want to go to another dare care center!" Stacy cried as she looked down in disappointment.

"If you are worried about someone watching Stacy, she can stay the night with us, we have plenty of room," Frankie smiled at Stephanie, "Plus she would be near Sarah so you know she is in good hands, then you can pick her up after work."

"Well.." Stephanie said when he sister came jumping up to her.

"PLEASE SIS PLEASE!!!! I wanna stay for the party! PLEASE!" Stacy begged.

Stephanie sighed and smiled, "Alright, you can stay the night, but you have to be on your best behavior alright?"

"When have I not been on my best behavior?" Stacy said with a slight smile/smirk on her face. Stephanie looked at her with the, I know how you are look, Stacy sighed "alright, I promise to be on my best behavior."

Stephanie smiled, "Thank you."

"Well guys lets go," Frankie said leading the group out.

Wilt smiled down to Sarah as he took her hand bring her attention to look at him, " May I have the pleasure of escorting the Lady out."

Sarah smiled, taking his hand, intertwining her fingers with his, "I would be honored." with that said, they walked out of the mall together.
