I sighed and sat there for a while, thinking about it. I wasn't sure if It would be smart to risk it, but why not? Sure, we wore different clothes, but I doubted that someone would point to us and scream. " IMPOSTERS. IMPOSTERS. YOU ARE FROM THE FUTURE, GET OUT OF OUR ERA!"That just didn't happen.
If anything, they would think that they were from a coast, different country, or something along those lines. It would be possible for other places to have different, strange style.
Paranoia struck us so badly because we knew. Madison noticed that I had been standing there thinking everything over in my mind for a long time, and so she tapped on my shoulder.
"Okay, kid genius, I really appreciate the fact that you analyzed everything, but we sort of kind of have a time schedule here," she said, chuckling and shaking her head.
I smirked, explaining to her my thoughts and the amount of regret if we didn't take action. How would we feel, missing all of the events of the movie and even the details the screen didn't show, because we were looking for a Goodwill? That wouldn't fly for us, that was for sure!
We walked along some more, looking around at the buildings surrounding us up and down the road. Finally, we saw a man sitting on a bench and reading a paper. By the looks of it, he would be a good candidate to ask. Asking someone our age had more of a likeliness to cause problems.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you know where The Goodwill is? We were supposed to volunteer for a school service project and can't find it anywhere!" I exclaimed, trying my best to seem innocent. It wasn't too hard since I was truly pretty innocent. In addition, I looked younger than I was. Adults normally loved me and ate me up!
He smiled a bit, rubbing his chin. "It's good to see young people doing the right thing! It's two blocks down on the right. You won't be able to miss it. The building is old and beat up; you know the type," he smiled, scratching his chin once more.
I nodded and thanked him, then turning away and walking with Madison again. "Wow, of course it was close; we would have found it on our own."
I laughed at our luck, trying to decide what I would wear. I wished we were able to get more than one outfit, but that wasn't our biggest worry right now. I knew there wouldn't be any cool band shirts or anything; our options would be slightly worn down clothes that were one color or a pattern. They would probably have jeans, skirts, dresses, and shorts as well. I was aiming for shorts or a skirt because it was really hot. I didn't work well with heat. Madison would wear jeans either way because that was just how she was. She didn't dig her legs too much and thought that she looked best in jeans.
We entered the store, groaning because it wasn't air conditioned. We were used to the luxury of everywhere having air. I smiled and started going through the clothes, wondering how this was going to work. I wasn't too keen on this type of illegal activity, unlike Madison who stole and did these kind of things like it was a second nature. I was definitely going to need her guidance. I just hoped this store didn't end up swarming with people soon.
