Wolf began his search for some new clothes, starting with new shoes. As he was wondering his way into the shoes section on the second story, he then immediately began to think whether he actually needed them or not.

Do I really need shoes? he thought, looking down at the ones that he was wearing. All that was noticeable was a small scratch on the heel. Wolf then saw new black boots almost similar in shape to his. He grabbed the box and began checking out the price tag on the side.

"120 dollars?" he exclaimed. "Like freakin' hell!" He immediately placed the shoebox back onto the shoe rack. Wolf sighed. What a rip-off. I remember I got these ones for only 70 bucks and they were in great shape. He scoffed as he turned away from the entire shoes section.

I think I'll just go straight to the jeans. Wolf thought as he started walking around the far corner and into the center of the store.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here…" a voice called out. Wolf turned around.

"Falco?" Wolf asked.

"Heh. Fancy seeing you here, fuzz ball." Falco said walking towards him. "Why, I had no idea that you actually cared about what you wear."

"Excuse me?" Wolf retorted in a confused tone.

"Well, I always thought you just wore anything that you found, not caring just how ugly you looked." Falco chuckled.

"Screw you, bird brain." Wolf snapped. "Who the hell do you think you are?

"Whatever." Falco said. "So, Wolf, how's your bruise going?"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard Fox put the hurt on you and he even got you real good."

"Hmph!" Wolf scoffed. "That pup just got lucky. That's all. I could've taken him down easily."

"Uh-huh, sure." mumbled Falco.

"So was that why you came up to me, just for you to know my business?"

"No." Falco told him. "I just wanted to know, and you just happened to be right here, so I thought I should've asked, that's all."

Falco and Wolf then began walking in the opposite sides of each other, until Falco stopped right next to Wolf, taking a few more steps ahead. "Wolf, now this. As a man whose been with Fox for a long time, he's not as weak as you think he is. He's actually a tough guy when you think about it. You do well to remember that next time you have to fight or you cross paths with him, ok fur face?" Wolf turned around to see the avian waving a slight wave. "See you later." Falco turned and began walking away.

Fox? Tough? No way. Nice try Falco, but no one can top me, especially him. Wolf pondered. Now where was I? Ah, yes. Pants. he started making his way towards the pants and jeans section.

"Hmm" Wolf was humming to himself and holding up a pair of black, fringed, pants with a small, blue wolf head on the bottom of the legs. "Nah, to dark." he placed the pants back onto the rack. Damn, they don't have anything good here. Wolf began looking at the racks and shelves to find something that piqued his interest, but so far, nothing that he saw fascinated him. Until…

"Whoa!" he said excitedly. "Check these out." he picked up a pair of blue-black jeans with gray strips on the sides and pockets on the bottom, with a small, platinum chain. "Damn, these look killer." he smiled. Wolf then checked the back to see what size they were. "36-30. Just my size." he laughed. "I think I'll go try this on first. Now…" Wolf looked around. "Where the hell are the changing rooms at?" he growled. Maybe I should ask the man in the center office. Wolf began walking over to the office.

"Hey Lucas, hurry. I want to get some new hats." a boy's was shouted.

"Hey, wait for me, Ness." Lucas told him.

The black-haired child with the cap was running down the aisle, running past and avoiding everything in his way, completely unaware of what was in front of him.

"Now…" Wolf stepped out onto the aisle.

"Whoa, look out!" Ness shouted.

"What the hell? Ahh!"

Ness crashed into the lupine right into his hip, knocking him down and sending Ness onto the ground. "Ouch!" Ness rubbed his head. He looked to see what he ran smack into Wolf, unknowingly. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked the furry.

However, Wolf was deeply holding his hip, as where Ness ran straight into him. Goddamnit, ahh! Right in the bruise. And I thought it would have went away by now. Damn you, Fox! Wolf was clutching himself in pain.

"Ness, are you ok? Lucas caught up and helped him up. "This is exactly why you don't run so fast in a crowded place."

"I know." Ness got up and dusted himself off.

"What happened to him? Lucas saw Wolf moaning and groaning and breathing heavily on the ground, as if someone had kicked him in the testicles. Wolf was finally able to regain balance and stood up.

"Watch where you're going, you damn brat!" Wolf yelled at Ness.

"I'm really sorry do you need any help?" Ness asked him.

"Just get away from me, both of you." Wolf grabbed his pants off the ground and slowly walked even closer to the office.

"Great, now he's mad." Lucas whispered.

"He's always mad. And at nearly everyone too." Ness whispered back. "Anyways, let's go, Lucas. I still want to see what hats they have. C'mon." Ness began to run down the aisle again.

"Dang it, Ness. Haven't you just learned anything from this?" Lucas yelled, but only to see him still running. "I guess not." Lucas began running after him.

"These actually look good on me." Fox said to himself as he tried out his shirt he picked out. "A little itchy, but I guess that's to be expected. And, what's with these?" Fox picked up the two chainless cuffs. "Wait a minute…" Fox thought about it as he then placed the cuffs around the ends of the sleeves out where his wrists were. "Oh, I see. They're to hold down the wrist cuffs. Cool." Fox then took them off and placed them on the ledge next to him. "All that leaves is the pants. I still need to hurry before something were to happen." Fox began to take the pants of its hangar.

Why would they do this? Wolf began thinking about what the employee told him about where the changing rooms were. Why keep the changing rooms in particular places and for certain people? That seems kind of stupid. He began making his way down the stairs and into the entrance into the changing rooms area assigned for him. "This is it." he entered. Inside, he could see three doors: Falco, Wolf, Fox. However, Fox's door caught his attention. 'Out of order due to renovations' it read. Wolf slightly scoffed. Fox sure is going to be pissed.

Just then, Wolf heard sounds coming near him. Sounds that were coming from his room. What is that noise? It sounds like something is banging against something. Wait, is it coming from my room? he thought as he reached out and began turning the doorknob, completely unaware of what was inside.
