Emma: Do you wish to take the escalator or Elevator?
Norman: I'm fine with whatever you want to ride.
Emma: If I'm correct, I recall Ray telling me you're afraid of Escalator rides?
Norman: Eh? Ray told you that!
Emma: Yup! So we'll be taking the Elevator.
Norman: But we can--
Emma: Look the elevator is already going to open, come on! We can't be late.
They both walked to the elevator and stood there waiting, A huge crowd came out. Just as Emma was about to step in...A whole crowd pushed both Emma and Norman to the very back of the elevator. There in the far right corner, Emma and Norman were squished together.
Norman: Are you all right?
Emma: Yup, But you on the other hand seem very red. Do you have a cold?
Norman: Nope! It's a little hot in here is all.
Emma looked up at Norman and Norman had trouble making eye contact back.
Norman in his mind: Why can't I face Emma? We're just waiting in the elevator. Nothing serious is going on...Except. Emma is really close...And I mean REALLY CLOSE.
The elevator finally landed on the fifth floor and the crowd got out, there was finally space to take a breather in. Emma moved slowly away from Norman and took Norman's hand, he seemed very frozen in time.
Emma: You okay?
Norman: Yeah...Sorry about that, haha.
Emma smiled with reassurance and then said, "Sorry about putting you through all this trouble. If you want you could always go home if you'd like!"
Norman: I'd never do that...plus. I came this far. Let's keep going, I need some ingredients for pancakes any way. I'm starting to run out and I don't want Sherry to be upset.
Emma: All right! Let's go!!!
Norman: H-hey! Wait up.
Emma took a shopping cart and said, "First stop?"
Norman: The kimchi your Father wants?
Emma: Ah yes! I think their over here in the far left isle.
Emma pushed the cart and Norman awkwardly followed along side her, "Hang on!"
Emma stopped the cart and Norman was confused, "Huh?" Emma pointed at the clothing isle, specifically one with a bunch of dresses.
Emma: This red dress is beautiful, But this blue one is too! Hey Norman, Which one do you think would look great on me?
Norman looked and said, "uh, I'm not sure. Anything looks great on you."
Emma: Aww! That's so sweet of you to say. How about I try them on and then you'll decide for sure.
Norman: Okay.
Emma: Do you mind getting the Kimchi in the meantime?
Norman: Not at all, I'll meet you at the waiting room near the dressers once I get it.
Emma: Sounds like a plan.
Norman then walked forward and said in his mind, "Holy Crap, What is with me today. I'm such a idiot."
Norman got the kimchi and placed it in the shopping cart, he went back and saw a mini crowd around the dressing room.
Norman: Huh??!
A guy bumped into Norman and said, "Watch it." Norman apologized and went closer in the crowd to find Emma, "Excuse me. Pardon."
Norman went further inside the huge crowd and saw Emma surrounded by girls complementing her.
Girl 1: Wow! You look beautiful with that blue dress.
Girl 2: Yeah, I think this would suit you better though! You wanna bring your inner beauty as much as possible. You know?
Norman: Hey, Emma! I got the kimchi.
Girl 3: Oh wow, Is that your boyfriend?
Girl 1: No surprise there, She's so pretty. Why wouldn't she have a boyfriend?
Norman looked flustered and Emma lightly laughed. "I'm not really her--" Before Norman could finish her sentence, Girl 2 suggested:
Girl 2: Why don't we help you guys match, That'd be really cute to see.
Emma: Is that all right with you, Norman?
Norman: I don't really mind.
Girl 2: Great! She pushed Norman and took him into the men's section to find an outfit.
Girl 3 and 1: Great, We'll take care of the rest!
