As we entered the mall, you could tell that this wasn't a normal, American hang out. In fact, it was quite the opposite. In Europe, the mall's store fronts were all made of clear glass. Everywhere you looked, you could see right through the stores. I'm calling it glass territory.

Luckily, it was the type of mall were you could find each other easily if you wanted to. I put us in groups: Angel and Fang, Iggy and Gazzy, and Nudge and I. We went our separate ways and decided to meet back in the food court.

I'm starting to regret pairing myself up with Nudge. Nudge might talk a lot, but she also loves to torture me in another way. Can you guess what that is? Yup, stuffing clothes in my face, making me try them on, and then buying them. The worst part is the stuff she makes me buy. The clothes she picks out aren't really me but I can't say no to her. She puts on the bambi eyes and I end up wearing it because it would hurt her if I returned them.

She literally dragged me off to this weird store I don't know the name of and pushed me into the fitting room. I waited in there like we've done this a billion times till she came back with two outfits. The room wasn't too small so we both put on the clothes at the same time while having our backs to each other. Once done, Nudge counted to three and we turned to face the mirror.

Wow. I was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a white top on with a black leather jacket over it. I was shocked because Nudge usually doesn't let me wear what I want to so I figured she was up to something. I turned to look at her and saw that she picked out a purple dress that looked not childish but not too old either.

We quickly went to pay for my badass clothes and her… nice dress. After that we decided to go see what the others were up to. Since Gazzy and Iggy were probably in the stereo section of the music store, we decided to sneak up on them. They were playing a Linkin Park song on the iPod player the store had. Typical.

I grabbed an electric guitar and crept up behind them. I glanced at Nudge and saw that she was giggling so loud that the boys turned their heads. But before they could see Nudge I strummed on the guitar so loud that they fell down and started screaming at me once they found out that I was the one causing them pain.

Sadly, the people kicked us out so the four of us wondered around till we saw a line full of kids, waiting to get a picture with a human- sized, Greek teddy bear. Apparently the bear was a movie star cause all the kids were screaming their heads off.

The funniest part was that in the crowd of kids, I saw my baby girl and my best friend in line, one looking inpatient and the other looking happy as ever. I told the rest of the gang to stay as I walked up to Fang and Angel. I tapped Fang on the back and he turned around with a scowl on his face. Once he saw that it was me, he gave me a small smile. Angel also noticed I was here and gave me a hug.

"So… are you going to take a picture with mister beary?" I teased Fang.

"Yes we are and now that you're here, you can take a picture with us." Angel said glaring at Fang. I guess they fought about taking a picture with the bear thing.

"But-"

"No buts were next!" Angel all but demanded us.

So the three of us took the picture with the bear. Angel happy as can be, Fang with an emotionless face, and me with a confused look. Aren't we the best family ever?

Anyway, since we met up before going to the food court, we all went together and ate at a place called Everest. That place had the best donuts I've ever eaten! After that we decided that since the day wasn't over yet, we could go see the Parthenon later. Oh boy, when will this day ever end! I thought to myself.
