Zell made his way to the local mall to buy some CDs and furniture. He had more than enough money for a whole houseful of furniture and decorations, however he wanted to keep his hands on it for as long as possible, just in case of emergencies. He had fought monsters and sold their parts to raise the gil. He even carved little statues out of the bones of T-rexaurs and other boned monsters. He kept a few of them for himself since he was proud of how they turned out thanks to the hard work he put into them.

He had also made decorative wands out of the monster parts. The bone was used as the base of his wands, Behemoth hide was tanned into leather which the handle of the wands were wrapped in, and Cockatrice feathers adorned the wands. Each wand was different and made from different parts. Of course, Zell had also sold the monster parts in their raw form without doing a thing to them. Monster parts were hard to come by, because after a monster dies, the pyreflies that the monster is made up of, disappear to the spirit world, or into the lifestream itself to keep the planet from falling to pieces. He hadn't made up his mind on which theory he believed in, so he just accepted both as possible truths.

He stopped at the entrance of the mall and looked up at the two-story building with all of its glass windows. The whole island had stores which had glass walls so as to show the contents in them to the tourists and whomever else wandered by. Zell continued into the mall with the pull of the door handle of the double doors. He seen how the middle of the mall was clear of anything and he was disappointed in how little amount of stores there actually were. Zell counted about twenty-five stores altogether. He made his way to the nearest store, which he seen contained nothing but beach clothes like the board shorts Seifer wore on this island. Board shorts, T-shirts and sandals mostly.

Zell walked to the next store and looked through the windows. This one had surfboards hanging on the walls as well as boogie boards and waterskies. Life preservers and life jackets were also displayed on the walls and racks.

Zell peeked through each store and was disappointed when he seen that none of them had neither furniture or anything in the electronic entertainment department. So, he made his way back to the entrance of the store and noticed the mall was pretty much deserted. He was almost to the entrance when he seen Seifer walk in. Zell kept walking his way hoping that Seifer wouldn't notice him and give him any trouble.

Zell was almost face to face to Seifer when Seifer looked up and his gaze met Zell's face. 'Oh great, here we go,' Zell thought.

Seifer stopped in his tracks and looked away from Zell. "Um, hi." Seifer said in a nervous tone.

"What's up?" came Zell's reply.

Seifer shrugged and said, "Um...not much...just looking around some." Zell noticed that the mall had a slight echo when they talked. Zell was glad nobody was around to hear their conversation , not that they were saying anything of incrimidating evidence of what happened between them a few days ago with the little game they played.

They stood in place, not speaking for a few moments, until Seifer finally said, "I guess I'll get on with what I was doing."

"'K," was all Zell said before walking on to the entrance of the mall. 'That was weird, he didn't give me any shit just now, maybe he really is gay,' Zell thought to himself.
