The black Jeep wrangler peeled down the street, the destination the mall. The girls had told their soulmates that it was what they we're originally planning on doing for the day and the guys agreed, only really caring about spending time together and not the destination.

Spaceman and Velma we're making small conversation in the back seat, Velma had shifted to seat in the middle so she could be right next to Spaceman who put an arm around her shoulders. They we're discussing small little things about each other and getting to know each other better. Daphne smiled at that, her and Starchild had already gotten a head start on that during the crimson witch mystery. Velma and Spaceman were still new to each other, they had to spend time and get to know each other better like her and Starchild had done. But by the looks and sounds of it they seemed to be doing just fine back there.

Speaking of Starchild, him and Daphne were also in conversation. They couldn't sit right up against each other like the two in the back, but they had their hands firmly clasped and intertwined in the middle. Starchild made a mental note to himself to have Spaceman drive back later, so that he could cuddle up to his little lady in the back seat.

The car was filled with conversation and laughter as the two couples talked within themselves about anything and everything. Daphne caught Starchild up on the recent mysteries that the gang went on after they left Kissland, and Starchild talked to her about the next Kiss concert in California followed by one in Denver. All in all, everyone was happy and enjoying being together with each other.

25 minutes later they were pulling up into the mall parking garage, Starchild expertly driving them up to the top floor of the parking garage and parking the car in an empty spot. The mall looked fairly full today, not surprisingly since it was a Sunday afternoon.

Both Starchild and Spaceman quickly got out of the car and basically teleported on the the other side of the car to open the doors for both Daphne and Velma. The two girls giggled at the action and thanked both their soulmates with kisses and hugs. Then the two couples hand in hand walked into the mall, shops on all sides, food courts and the such welcomed them with a nice big fountain in the middle.

" This is a pretty nice mall", commented Spaceman while wrapping an arm around Velma's shoulders. Both him and Starchild had put on black baseball caps and dark sunglasses, they wanted to make extra sure that they wouldn't be recognized by anyone and potentially get their outing ruined with their soulmates.

" Considering it's a small town, it's actually very surprising that they have a mall like this", said Velma, cuddling up on Spaceman's side.

" Well, now that we're here. What would you guys like to do?", asked Daphne, also glued to Starchild's side while the latter had an arm around her shoulder's as well.

" I would like to go to the book store, I have to grab some books for a school project", said Velma.

Spaceman gave his soulmate a big smile, being part of KISS people often thought that Rock n Roll was all they cared about. But truth be told the KISS members were interested in a lot of different things. For example Starchild, he was interested in painting and art. Catman loved video games and technology, and he himself loved to read, then there's Demon on his down time liked sports. The fact that Velma seemed also interested in books and the such filled his heart with happiness, the universe really never made mistakes and this kiss bond proved it.

" Can I come with you to the book store?", asked Spaceman shyly.

Velma gave him a surprised look, he honestly didn't seem like the type to like going into bookstores. But she guessed that's why you should never judge a book by it's cover, and the thought of Spaceman actually interested in books just like she was made her heart flutter in her chest. Besides, she wasn't planning on leaving his side to begin with even if she had to beg him to come with her, but she's really glad that's not the case and that Spaceman actually seems interested in accompanying her to the book store.

" O-o-of c-course!", she said nervously with a blush. Spaceman looked down at her with a huge smile, loving so much how she blushed, she looked so beautiful.

" Then while you guys do that, Starchild would you like to roam around?", asked Daphne to her love. Regardless if it's been great being together all four of them considering how they we're all going through the same thing, both couples we're surely glad for moments alone with each other and their respective soulmates.

" Of course Darlin, lead the way", said Starchild back with a smile that showed off all his perfect teeth.

Both couples bid each other goodbye and promised to meet at the food court around 3pm, which gave them plenty of time to browse around and spend time together, after the plan's were made Starchild and Daphne went up the escalator up to the second floor while Velma and Spaceman continued on the first floor towards the bookstore.

Starchild and Daphne got up to the second floor hand in hand. Daphne felt like she was on cloud nine, she couldn't believe she was here with her love. They we're basically on their first official date as soulmates, the thought making her skip a little.

Starchild looked down at his darlin and saw the bright smile on her face and the pep in her step as they strolled along the shops lining the mall, his own smile formed on his face at seeing how happy she was. Nothing could make him happier then seeing his beautiful soulmate happy, and being here with her on a date made him giddy with excitement. So without even thinking twice he squeezed her hand a little tighter and started skipping himself like a little kid, his smile growing tenfold when his little lady joined him in skipping down the mall. The two on them laughed in delight at their childish behavior as they continued to skip, hands firmly clasped together, uncaring at all about the curious looks being thrown their way. Nothing could distract them from each other at that very moment, it was like they were in their own little bubble that only they existed in.

Daphne suddenly pulled Starchild towards a certain establishment, Starchild looked up as he was being pulled and saw the title outside read, " Music Myster".

Once inside the couple saw it was a neat make shift club, there was a DJ in the center playing tunes while people of all ages mingled about. On one side was a lit LED floor for dancing, on the other was what looked like a small shop full of merchandise, and towards the back was a small food and drinks court.

Daphne looked around in amazement, this place being inside the mall in the small town of Crystal Cove surprised her, they must have built it recently since it hadn't been here the last she was there.

" Wow, this is neat!", exclaimed Starchild also impressed.

" They must have built this recently", explained Daphne to her love.

Before either of them could say anything else, the DJ started playing a certain song. Daphne squealed in delight at the song while Starchild let out a laugh, of course they would play KISS when him and his darlin get here.

As the chorus of the familiar guitar intro started playing, Daphne grabbed her soulmate's arm and pulled him towards the dance floor excitedly, not wanting to miss this opportunity. Starchild laughed once more and let himself be led his darling, not even thinking about fighting her on this. They got to the dance floor just as Starchild heard his own voice coming from the speakers loudly.

Well, the night's begun and you want some fun

Do you think you're gonna find it?

(Think you're gonna find it)

You got to treat yourself like number one

Do you need to be reminded?

(Need to be reminded)

It doesn't matter what you do or say

Just forget the things that you've been told

We can't do it any other way

Everybody's got to rock n roll, oh oh

Starchild grabbed Daphne and started twirling her around, then he grabbed her and brought her closer to himself while she wrapped her arms around his neck and they both moved with the music, delighted laughter coming from both of them.

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (x2)

If you don't feel good, there's a way you could

Don't sit there broken hearted

(Sit there broken hearted)

Call all your friend's in the neighborhood

And get the party started

(Get the party started)

Don't let em tell you that there's too much noise

They're too old to really understand

You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys

Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah, yeah

Starchild and Daphne twirled around and around the dance floor, catching the attention of other people around the club. Soon enough a few started dancing along on the dance floor with them, infected by the combined energy of the couple. Starchild lifted Daphne up and spun her in the air while the latter had her arms stretched out on either side of her, uncontrollable laughter spilling from her lips as she met eyes with her love who also couldn't stop laughing at the fun they were having. He brought her back down and continued their movements as the song was coming to an end.

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (x3)

You got to have a party

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

Turn it up louder

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

And everybody shout it now

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

Oh yeah

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

I hear it getting louder

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

And everybody shout it now

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

The last of the song's note ended and the club went wild, cheering for Starchild and Daphne who had been the life of the party with their amazing connection and energy. Starchild and Daphne were so lost in each other's eyes that they didn't pay any mind to anyone else besides each other, they touched forehead's while keeping eye contact. With content and loving smiles adorning their faces, they came together in a sweet but passionate kiss. Everything and everyone went silent as the only sound they heard was the sound of their heartbeat's, mingling together in perfect harmony.

Pulling away from the kiss, Starchild opened his eyes and had to hold his jaw from dropping to the floor. Daphne was slowly starting to glow, which wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't been surrounded by humans on all sides. In any other situation he would have welcomed the site of his darling glowing with their powers happily, but not when they were supposed to be kept a secret from the rest of the world.

Thinking inhumanly fast, and moving faster so. Starchild hugged Daphne to him and sped faster then any human could keep up with, let alone see, into the nearest empty corner of the room, Daphne securely within his arms.

One moment Daphne was coming down from the high that always came from kissing Starchild, and the next the world went by in a mix of blurry colors. Next thing she knew she was in Starchild's arms in a completely different location then where they previously were, she had to shake her head a little at the suddenness of the situation.

" Starchild, wha-", she started but couldn't finish her sentence because her love quickly took off his black button down shirt and wrapped it neatly around her shoulder's. The shirt was obviously too big for her since it covered her entire upper half and went down to mid thigh. Before she could delve in the thoughts of how amazing it felt to be in Starchild's shirt, and how better yet he looked in the short sleeved purple shirt he had underneath that made his chest muscles and arm muscles look delicious, he spoke up.

" Sorry Darling, but your glowing", he explained, surprise and a little panic at his little lady almost being exposed in his voice.

Daphne blinked a few times before lifting up her hands and seeing that she was indeed glowing that beautiful purple once more. She suddenly understood what had happened, she must have started glowing during the kiss with Starchild and her love had noticed in the nick of time to get her somewhere private.

" Jeepers", was all she could think to say.

Starchild gave her a reassuring smile, calming down himself from the rush. " Hey, it's okay little lady. Things like this were bond to happen. Honestly I would have been worried if they didn't ", he reassured.

Daphne took a few deep breaths, concentrating on the thoughts she had used yesterday to get rid of her glow. Once the feeling of power resided, she opened her eyes again and saw she had once again succeeded in vanishing the glow.

Starchild gave her a proud smile, happy and extremely proud to see his darling getting the hang of her powers. " Great job darlin, your getting the hang of it just like I knew you would", he complimented while planting a small loving kiss on her lips.

Daphne blushed and smiled gratefully up at him, " I should be thanking you Starchild, if you hadn't acted as fast as you did everyone would have seen me", she said back, he once again saved her from what would have been a very sticky situation.

" Not a problem, anytime", he said with a smile.

They gave a each other a long hug, then decided to leave the small club and continue on with their browsing. Daphne stayed wearing her love's shirt, not willing to give it up just yet, not that Starchild minded, if anything he loved immensely seeing her wearing something of his. They walked hand in hand, laughing at what had just happened to them not too long ago, the situation now seemed extremely funny now that it had passed without anything catastrophic happening.

Down on the first floor in a cozy bookstore, Velma and Spaceman were browsing the many shelf's of books. Hand in hand the couple had walked into the cozy bookstore and were greeted by a pleasant old lady.

" What is your project about Velma?", Inquired Spaceman, he was holding a limited edition copy of Sherlock Holmes that he had found, he loved books about mysteries. He had been holding onto Velma's hand the entire time they had been there, unwilling to lose contact with her if he could help it. He was happy that Velma seemed to not mind and actually seemed to enjoy the contact between them.

Velma blushed, she hadn't expected for Spaceman to ask her about her project. Everyone besides her friends thought she was a know it all nerd, all because she loved to learn. So she always kelt to herself, if she wasn't hanging out with the gang she would usually be home in her room or at the back of the library immersed in a book or two. But she was pleasantly surprised at the interest she felt coming from Spaceman, he genuinely seemed interested in what she was working on and not just asking to make conversation.

" Umm, it's nothing interesting honestly ", she said a little shyly.

Spaceman paused his examination of a Moby Dick book he had picked up in favor of looking down at his soulmate, she was looking down at the ground in embarrassment. He smiled to himself and leaned down to catch her eye, once he was sure he had her attention he spoke. " Well I'm sure that's not true, please. I would love to know what your working on", he said earnestly, he wanted to know absolutely everything there was to know about the beautiful girl who was his soulmate.

Velma blushed furiously, how could she say no to those eyes?. " W-well, I'm doing a project on the early ideas in Atomic Theory ", she said shyly.

Spaceman smiled excitedly, considering his powers in electricity this was something he definitely knew a thing or two about. " You mean like how matter is composed of exceedingly small particles called atoms?", he asked with a megawatt smile, he was a little bit of a nerd.

Velma gaped like a fish out of water, Spaceman actually understood what she was referring to without her having to dumb it down. He actually got her, and actually seemed excited about talking about it with her. How could he be so perfect?, how could he seem so much more beautiful then he already was in that very moment?. " Yes, exactly! Or that an atom is the smallest unit of an element that can participate in a chemical change!", she said excitedly back.

Spaceman and Velma brought their faces closer and closer to each other as they spoke excitedly, facts being thrown back and forth to each other. Velma suddenly froze, realizing their closeness. Her lips tingled with the want to kiss him, she was equal parts terrified and excited at the prospect of sharing a kiss with her soulmate. But looking into his deep black eyes, and seeing nothing but sincere affection and devotion in them aimed towards her was enough to silence any part of her that thought she shouldn't do this.

Velma glanced down at his tempting lips, slowly inching closer. Spaceman was equally as allured by the thought of kissing his soulmate, he would be lying if he said he hadn't been thinking about it since even before knowing Velma was his soulmate. The beautiful glasses wearing redhead had caught his attention even then, and those mesmerizing lips as she detailed the mystery we're enough to have him hypnotized most of the time. And now, seeing her gorgeous face getting closer and closer to his made his heart pump faster and electricity build within him. He moved his face slowly towards her's as well, almost like two magnets being pulled together by a force stronger then either of them. Then, their lips met in a sweet kiss. Nothing crazy, just pure innocent affection puring into the kiss. Unbeknownst to the couple, blue electricity cracked between them as soon as their lips met. Almost like the bond had sealed them together as soon as they shared their first kiss.

And such as on the outside electricity cackled, so was on the inside. Velma felt like a thousand fireworks exploded as soon as her lips met Spaceman's, electric shock went from the tips of her fingers to her toes as she kissed her soulmate. She never knew a kiss like this could even exist, let alone that she would one day experience this amazing feeling. Her heart hammered away in her chest in happiness and something else more powerful.

Spaceman could have died happy where he stood. Kissing Velma was unbelievably amazing, he couldn't even remember where he stood at that at moment as all he could see in his mind's eye was Velma. His heart exploded with affection and fireworks exploded within his stomach as he kissed his soulmate, so this was what it felt like to be with the one destined for you?. It felt incredibly electrifying.

They pulled part a minute later, faces still close, blushes burning away at their faces.

" Wow", they said at the same time. Goofy smiles adorning their faces as they inched closer once more, lips tingling to once again meet in a beautiful kiss.

Until a cough was heard behind them, bursting the bubble they had been in. Spaceman and Velma pulled away quickly, face's red with embarrassment as they looked at the shopkeeper who was standing a few feet away.

The older woman regarded the two embarrassed youth with curiosity, arms crossed and eyebrow raised. Seeing their embarresed expression's she decided to cut them some slack, young love was a beautiful thing after all. She gave them a small smile, " Would you youngsters like to checkout those books", she asked kindly.

Velma gave a small cough, trying to get her heated face under control. " Yes please", she answered back shyly. Spaceman rubbed the backnof his neck nervously and nodded his head in answer to the shopkeeper. Regardless of how embarrassed he felt, the happy smily on his face could not be whipped off no matter how hard he tried. Velma gave him a shy smile as she took his hand, together they walked towards the cash register and paid for their books, Spaceman insisting to pay for his soulmate's books and didn't even allow Velma to take her wallet out.

They thanked the older lady and exited the shop hand in hand, small blushes and big smiles still adorning their faces.
