Here be chapter 6 its short, very short and I'm not fully happy with it but the next one shall be far longer, enjoy.
Theodore stood in front of his closet looking through his shirts. He let out a sigh "Five days to go and I haven't picked out an outfit yet...", he continued to move his shirts around as if a new shirt was going to appear.
"Theo, Alvin, and I are going to head down to the mall... you want to come with?", Simon asked as he reached his brothers room and poked his head in the door.
"The mall... perfect", Theodore said out loud mostly to himself, he quickly slipped on his shoes and made his way to the door.
"I'm so glad that headache is over with", Alvin said as he was buckling his seat belt and adjusting the drivers seat to his liking.
"You can say that again", Simon said as he got into the car, "I was starting to think we were never going to get this dance set up", Simon said with a sigh of relief.
Theodore was silent as he got into the back seat, his mind wandering to thoughts of her. Is this love? He asked himself, not sure of the answer.
Alvin and Simon were discussing where the group should eat after the dance. "What do you think Theo?", Alvin asked from the drivers seat.
"Huh? About what?", Theodore shook his head and tried to pay attention.
"About dinner after the dance", Simon said filling him in, "Where do you think we should go?", he repeated the question.
"Well...", Theodore trailed off trying to think of an answer but found it very hard to think of any thing besides the right outfit for the dance and her.
"I think we lost him", Alvin said with a small chuckle.
"Ya he's got it bad", Simon agreed, "Was I ever that bad about Britt?", he asked his older brother.
"Was? More like still are", Alvin laughed as he teased Simon.
"You're one to talk", Simon shot back.
"We're here", Alvin said to cover the fact he didn't have a come back.
The three of them exited the car and made their way into the mall. The group stopped just inside, "Okay lets split up and meet in the food court for lunch in about an hour", Alvin did not wait for a response before heading off.
"Catch you later", Simon said to Theodore as he made his way towards a clothing store.
Theodore made his way to the big and tall man's store.
He idly browsed the racks not sure what he was looking for hoping he would know it when he saw it.
His thoughts drifted to her as he looked over some shirts, her smile, her laugh, the way she played with her hair when they were watching a movie cuddled up on the couch, his lips curled into a smile the more he thought about her.
After about fifteen minutes of browsing Theodore was about to give up but then he saw it.

"Hey guys", Theodore said as he met up with his brothers in the food court.
"Whats in the bag?", Alvin asked, pointing towards the bag in Theodore's hand.
"My outfit", Theodore said with a smile on his face.
"Cool, so what are we eating?", Alvin asked as he looked around the food court.
"How about Panda express", Simon suggested.
"Sounds good to me", Theodore said smiling.
"You're awfully chipper", Alvin commented as they started heading for the food stand.
"Am I?", Theodore asked in a cheery tone.
"Thankfully, that silent act in the car had me worried", Alvin teased while he gave his brother a playful push.
They made idle chatter as the waited in line. The line was short and they got their food relatively fast.
They found a table to sit at and began to eat.
"So... Theo have you two... kissed yet?", Alvin asked, not one for formalities.
"Alvin!", Simon scolded.
"Not yet", Theodore answered, taking a a bite from his plate, unfazed by the question.
"Why not?", Alvin pressed the matter.
"Not that I haven't tried, its almost as if some outside force keeps intervening...", Theodore trailed off and the table fell silent.
"...Anyway, how are things with Eleanor?", Theodore asked trying to keep the conversation moving.
"Good, so what outfit did you pick out?", Alvin inquired.
"Here I'll show you", Theodore reached for the bag.
Abrupt ending is abrupt.
Sorry about the shortness this time I'll make it up in the next one.
