Fanny's POV
I strolled through the hallways of the shopping mall, Patton carrying my bags and trying to keep Jack and Sadie from killing each other. I hummed an old Irish tune.
'Dia duit, a bhuachaill, ait a bhfuil tu? Ta me go leir ina aonar, ach amhain orm anois...' I sang. I stopped at a store titled Jamaica Beat. I went in.
"Ooh!" I breathed, looking at a shell with a heart engraved in it. "Beautiful!" I picked it up and dropped it when somebody bumped into me.
"Ah!" I yelled. A hand shot out and caught it.
"Here." The woman said. I looked at her. She had very curly brown hair that reached down to her shoulders and spread out in a fan on her shoulders. She was very tan and her ocean blue eyes stood out from her face. She wore a bright blue T-shirt and jean capris. She smiled at me and two eleven-year-old boys came strolling around and isle.
"Ah, mom! Did you drop something again?" one of the boys with glossy black hair asked rolling his eyes.
"Jeeze ma! You drop everything!" the other said, taking the shell in his bicycle-gloved hands and giving it to me.
"Thanks." I said, accepting the shell. "What's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Alexis, but call me Lexi. These are my two boys- Isaac and Christopher. Christopher is wearing the gloves." Lexi said.
"Nice to meetcha!" Isaac stuck out his hand. I shook it and turned to Christopher who offered me his hand. I shook it and turned back to Lexi.
"So, where's your husband?" I asked her, smiling. Patton strolled in with Sadie and Jack in tow. Lexi's grin faded.
"Oh…he's gone." She said.
"Ah." I said, sadness welling in my heart. I knew what it was like. "You wanna come to the beach with us?" I offered, putting the shell back on the shelf.
"Sure!" Lexi grinned. "Meetcha there!" she dashed off and her boys followed. I couldn't wait.
Rachel's POV
I peered through the window of one of the stores at the mall. Nigel was groaning in the background and asking Alli to stop playing her video game thingy and to help him with the bags. I smiled but shrieked when I was knocked to the ground by a girl with dark hair.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" the girl said, helping me up.
"Ugh! Jeez, you keep fumbling today mom!" a young boy said.
"Oh, hi Rachel." Fanny said. "This is Lexi, and these are her boys Isaac and Christopher." She introduced me and we walked down the mall hallways.
"So, do you live here? Where are you from?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I live here. I'm from Poland." She said.
"Oh really? Poland? That's cool! Do you know any Polish?" I asked.
"Yeah! Um… I jak ciasto. Means I like pie." She grinned at me. I snickered.
"Really?" I asked. We were soon out of the mall and strolling down to the beach.
I smiled. This was fun.
A/N: I'm only doing two POV's today. Tomorrow will be Kuki's and Abby's. This I only for this one time, so no worries. And Fanny's song means 'Hello boy where are you? I'm all alone, save me now...'.
