Author's Note: II know shocker, I'm back so sooner. HAPPY RANDOM THURSDAY of 2023 my lovelies. Besides with brainstorming Sam helping Clover at the mall, this came to be. I LOVE how the girls change clothing so often, beautifully showing their personalities. I just wish they DIDN'T CHANGE GUY CRUSHES MORE THEN THEY DO CLOTHES!

Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

We Choose Each Other:

RonaldM40196867: They are and then at the same not always. Similar to Kagami, in 'Glaciator 2' - Season 4? well somewhat but mostly movies and my family issues. Why do you?

BearfootTruck: Wondered why you put 'front enough' until I re-read my own response. Yeah. . . I'm thankful you get a good chuckle instead getting upset at my tiny mistakes. *Sweet Smile* Of course, all your Pokémon suggestions are amazing. I started (mentally) writing a list of whom gets what and for what reason. As Zoé identify as a Coordinator, whom else is what is still up in the air. *Giggles* Maybe but remember Grass Type moves don't really harm Electric Types either.

"Oh now this skirt is adorable!" The blonde eagerly shows the redhead (whom has her hair in 2 long pigtails) A short mini with slits on both sides, completely red with a diamond edges.

"Clover 3rd store and 8th time I'm saying it! WE. ARE. HERE. FOR. CAITLIN!" Sam slowly breathes between each word as her patience is running thin.

Clover sighs, dismissing Sam's claims. "True, but come on let me relax a little. Then I really will get the girl a gift."

Rushing to the clerk's counter, green eyes watch annoyed at one of her two best friends. When a very short in height girl in desperate need of tan, with LIGHT PINK longer her then her own glares harshly in Clover's direction.

"Excuse me, is something wrong?" Sam tries for a smile first, casually walking besides this other teenager.

Slightly turns to Sam, big light brown eyes behind hot pink oval glasse. She smiles friendly now. Her body language non threatening.

"Forgive me, it's nothing at all. Have a good day." She states surprising Sam but nodding her head at her. Yet after a few steps, the mysterious girl freezes. Over her right shoulder blade.

"Fashion is okay, but not everyone's tastes." She walks off like nothing happened.

Clover grinning from ear to ear, returns. Looking concerned at Sam's confused face. "Sammy, something up?"

"I'm not sure. Come on we have to find gift for Caitlin."

2 HOURS LATER. . .

They sit at a cafe, surprisingly not so many bags. Sam sighs watching Clover munch away on a salad.

"Maybe we aren't looking in the right places. Let's try that little Barnes & Noble."

Clover's blue eyes nearly fall out their sockets. "What? Sam it's Christmas, why with the books?"

Sam slightly glares at Clover. "Jerry said she likes the color pink and books. Plus not everyone thinks fashion is their number one taste."

"You take that back!" Clover demands as if Sam directly insulted her.

Sam opens her mouth again, but both their compowders go off. They immediately look around, Clover growls at her shopping interrupted.

"Now?!"

"Clover stop it." Sam states opening her compowder. "Girls, the Mall Rat is heading towards you." Jerry quickly explains at that immediate moment screams are heard.

"You think Jer?" Clover glares at her boss.
