"Dress. Check." Aradia said to herself as she made her way back to her red mini coop. She checked the time to see if it was close to when the mall opened. Her watch read 7:45 and the mall opened at eight so she could at least go trolling around and then head to the mall.

Aradia pulled into the parking lot at eight thirty. She got out of her car and headed for the door she went inside and found a map. Nordy's was upstairs to the east and Sephora was downstairs to the west. Great she thought, an began her trip up the escalator. She looked around for a clerk inside the store, for seceral minutes she searched until at last she had found one. A sleepy looking girl with long black hair an circular glasses looked at her, she recognized this girl from school but couldn't remember her name. Aradia found a nametag on her chest that read "Jade" in flowery lettering. "May I help you?" The girl yawned. "Working Saturday morning sucks huh?" Aradia smiled. "Yeah glad I have my wicked elixir" jade smiled as she held up a large cup of coffee. Aradia smiled. "Me too, anyway I came to get a pair of red pumps I ordered, for Aradia Megido." She said. "Right, those came in the other day they where really pretty, let me go get them from the back." Jade responded heading to a door behind the counter. A few minutes later he reappeared with a box and handed it to aradia. When aradia looked inside she found the shoes she had picked out online, bright red pumps with matching jewels on the two straps intersecting in the middle of her foot. They were gorgeous. "Are you wearing these to prom?" Jade asked as she rang up the shoes. "Yeah" aradia replied. "We'll they are fabulous if I say so myself," she grinned. "That'll be $22.68". Not that bad aradia thought, she paid the girl and left the store. Shoes, check. Now back downstairs and the complete opposite way to makeup.

Aradia walked into Sephora scanning the shelves. I need something to accent red... She pondered. She found a light gold, and maroon with the help of an attendant along with glitter. She checked out and realized she had left something out! She needed accessories for the dress. She found another map and hunted around for low priced jewelry stores (she was a working class citizen after all). She then made her way to a nearby Macy's.

Aradia found a gold chain necklace, a necklace with a hanging red gem at the bottom suspended by a small gold chain, and some miscellaneous red and gold bangles to match. All set she thought as she paid her last Twenty dollars of the day and left the mall. Once she got into her car and threw the bags in the back along with her dress she started the car and headed back home.
