Sophia was laying on her bed, it was Saturday and she didn't have any plans.
"Morning Sophia," Esmeralda said. "Do you have any plans for today?"
"No, I plan on having a lazy day," Sophia said.
"Sounds good to me," Sailornyan said. Sophia smiled at the cat Yo-Kai.
Sophia wanted to catch up on her favourite TV programs that she had missed this week and have a skype session with Michelle but her plans were about to change.
"Sophia, There's someone here that wants to talk to you," Sophia's mother said.
Sophia came downstairs and found Nate standing in the kitchen.
"Hi, Nate," Sophia said.
"Hi, Sophia. Do you want to come shopping with some of my friends?" Nate asked.
Sophia wasn't sure, she didn't know any of Nate's friends as they are not in the same class and she didn't plan on doing anything today.
"Sophia would love to go, Nate," Esmeralda said as she appeared next to Sophia's shoulder. Sophia gave Esmeralda a look which said "He never asked you"
"Yeah, I will come with you Nate," Sophia said. "What time shall I meet you?"
"We are meeting outside the park in an hour," Nate said.
"Ok. See you there," Sophia said as she let Nate out the front door.
"Mum, I'm going to the Mall with Nate and some of his friends" Sophia announced
"That's fine, you can go Sophia." Sophia's Mother said.
Sophia went upstairs to change into something suitable for going out as she was wearing her tracksuit.
Sophia's Outfit: ( cgi/set?id=215203032)
Once Sophia finished getting dressed she took her new phone from the side and put it in her bag.
"Mum I'm going now, " Sophia said "See you later"
"Ok, Sophia." Sophia's mother said. "See you when you get home"
Sophia left the house. Esmeralda followed but kept her distance from Sophia.
Sophia arrived at the park and found Nate standing with two boys and a girl. One of the boys had messy brown hair, tired looking eyes and headphones. He was wearing a light green jacket, a white shirt with a blue undershirt and plain blue shoes with a white rim. The other boy had dark spiky hair, dark eyes and a bandage on his face. He was wearing a biker jacket, white shirt, gray shorts, and trainers. The girl had long brown hair that was tied back with a pink bow and brown eyes. She was wearing a white pullover with a love heart in the corner, a black and white top sat under her pullover, denim shorts and black trainers.
"Hi, Sophia, " Nate said.
"Hi," Sophia said.
"These are my friends Bear, Eddie, and Katie," Nate said. "This is Sophia"
"Hi, Sophia," Katie said.
Sophia smiled at Katie. She seemed nice.
They made their way to the mall. It was Sophia's first time in the mall. The boys wanted to go in the arcade. Sophia had never been in an arcade and wanted to see what it was like.
"I've never been in an arcade before," Sophia said.
"Really. Do they have arcades in London?" Nate asked.
"Yeah they do but most of the games are for older people," Sophia said as looked around and noticed that they had Super Mario games, slot machines, grab machines and racing games.
Sophia and Katie wanted to try and win chocolate from the grab machine. Katie went first, she put a coin in and tried to pick up the chocolate but she missed it.
"I was so close," Katie said.
Sophia managed to successfully grab an item but it wasn't chocolate. It was a keyring.
"Now I know why Mum and Dad never let me have a go at the grab machines at the bowling alley," Sophia said.
"Yeah, it's a shame." Katie said "Let's go and see what the boys are up to"
Sophia and Katie found Nate, Bear and Eddie playing Mario Cart, well Eddie was playing Nate and Bear watched.
"Wow, Eddie's won three times in a row," Nate said.
"Shall we go and look in the manga store now?" Katie asked.
"Sure. I wanted to see if they had anything good to read" Bear said.
Sophia was amazed at how many different types there were.
"What's your favourite manga series," Sophia asked Katie.
"I like ones about magical girls, my favourite is Smile Pretty Cure, " Katie said.
"Oh, that's interesting," Sophia said.
After the group finished in the manga shop, they decided to have lunch at the pizza restaurant. There were lots of different choices. Sophia chose chicken strips. Nate, Bea, and Eddie chose Pizza but Katie started acting strange.
"Can you make your mind up please Miss" The lady at the till asked.
"I will have the BBQ chicken pizza, please... no wait I will have the Hawaiian Please" Katie said but she would keep changing her mind.
"If you can't make up your mind, I'm going to have to ask you to leave," the lady said.
Sophia and Nate saw what was going on.
"Nate, Katie is normally like this is she?" Sophia asked.
"No. Wait could there be a Yo-Kai messing with her" Nate wondered.
"Nate, you really need to stop blaming yo-kai. Lots of people find it hard to make their mind up" Whisper said.
"I think that Nate is right, Whisper. Try using the Yo-Kai watch" Esmeralda said.
Sophia and Nate used their Yo-Kai watches to scan the area. They found an odd looking Yo-Kai that had a black turtle shell on one side and a snake on the other.
Name: Genbu
Tribe: Eerie
"Whos that?" Nate asked.
"Oh, erm... that's" Whisper started to say as he flicked through his tablet device.
"That's Genbu," Esmeralda said. "Anybody that's inspirited by him becomes indecisive"
Katie was still standing at the ordering desk.
"Security," The lady said.
Two mall security guards showed up on the scene.
"This is getting bad," Sophia said. "We need to do something about Genbu"
"I know," Whisper said. "Why don't you summon one of your Yo-Kai friends."
"Nate, I think that I know a Yo-Kai who can help us," Sophia said as she pulled out Whirlnyan's medal.
"Calling my friend Whirlnayn," Sophia said as she inserted the medal into the watch.
"Summing Charming"
"Alarming, boom, boom! Walla, walla, dance, dance, Charming!"
"Whirlnayn"
"It's been a while, Sophia," Whirlnayn said. "What do you need from me?"
"I need to you to get Genbu away from Katie," Sophia said.
"Sure. No problem" Whirlnyan said.
"Hi, Genbu," Whirlnyan said. "If I was you I would choose the half and half option that way you don't have to deiced on one style"
"Your right" Genbu said as it left Katie's side. Sophia saw Katie's face turn red as she turned away from the till.
"What am I doing in this line. I want chicken, not pizza" Katie said.
Genbu approached Sophia and Nate
"Don't hurt us," Genbu said.
"We won't hurt you. How about we become friends"
"You want to be friends?" Genbu asked.
"Yes," Sophia said. Genbu smiled and his Yo-Kai medal floated over to Sophia.
"Nice work, Sophia," Esmeralda said.
"It was Whirlnyan who did most of it," Sophia said as she looked at the hybrid Yo-Kai. "Thank you"
After a long day at the mall, Sophia went home. Her Mum and Dad (who had just come back from his business trip) sat in the kitchen.
"Daddy, your home" Sophia said as she gave him a big hug.
"I missed you both so much," Sophia's Dad said.
"We are having pizza, Sophia. What one would you like?" Sophia's mother asked.
"Not this again" Sophia mumbled as the camera captures one last image of the Abbott family standing together.
Note:
This is the 11th chapter of New Beginnings.
