The things I did

Silver Sun Mall

     "Okay, I'll agree with you on this, the pancakes are good here" Lizzie says as she pushes her empty plate towards the middle of the table.

     You turn to look at Lizzie, "THANK YOU!" You say as your hands hit the table.

     Lizzie shakes her head and giggles to herself as she accepts defeat. You all wait at the table for the waiter to bring you the check.

     "So, what's the plan for today?" Mary-Kate asks as she pulls her phone out from her purse.

     "I don't know, what would you like to do?" Sarah asks the twins.

     Mary-Kate shrugs her shoulders as she looks to Ashley for an answer.

     "Well, what is there to do around here?" Ashley asks Sarah.

     Before Sarah can answer, Justin excitedly jumps in.

     "We can go shopping at Bay village or go to the arcade!" Justin says as his face lights up.

     Ashley giggles, "That sounds fine to me. I like shopping and playing games."

     Mary-Kate nods her head in agreement, "I'm good with that."

     Sarah smiles at the twins, "Alrighty then, shopping and games it is!"

The waiter places the bill on the table and Sarah quickly snatches it before anyone else can. Since Chicken or The Egg is like a diner, you pay at the hostess stand. You all get up from the table as Sarah walks to the stand to pay the bill. Once Sarah is done paying, Holland, Sarah, Lizzie, and the twins slips their hats and sunglasses back on to cover their identities.

"What's that place across the street?" Mary-Kate asks as she points at the Silver Sun Mall.

"That's the Silver Sun Mall. They have a lot of LBI merchandise and fun beach stuff for a cheap price" Becky says.

"Can we check it out?" Mary-Kate asks as she turns to Becky.

"Girl, I'm one step ahead of you" Justin says as he begins to cross the street.

Mary-Kate giggles as she quickly follows Justin across the street into the store. Ashley, Becky, and Matt eventually make their way to the store.

"Do you want to check it out?" You ask Lizzie as you turn to her.

Lizzie shrugs her shoulders with her arms crossed, "Sure, why not?"

"Lizzie and I are going to join the others in the store" you say to Sarah and Holland.

Sarah nods her head, "Okay! Holland and I are going to walk around for a bit."

"Be careful, call me if you know who shows up" you say to Sarah as Lizzie begins to drag you across the street.

Sarah smiles as she gives you a thumbs up, "I'll have you on speed dial."

Lizzie drags you into the store and you watch as her face lights up.

"Holy cow this place is huge!" Lizzie says as she takes in all the clothing items they have for sale.

You giggle at Lizzie, "I guess it is. They have a large clothing section."

Lizzie smiles as she walks over to the clothes, searching through each rack to find something she likes. She pulls out a nice red sweater that simply reads 'Long Beach Island' across the chest.

"I like this, plain and simple. Do you like it?" She asks as she shows you the sweatshirt.

You nod your head, "I do! That's very nice, it would look good on you."

"I think it would look good on you also. Let's get matching ones!" Lizzie says with a smile.

You smile as you watch Lizzie search for your size on the rack, 'God, she is the cutest' you think to yourself.

Lizzie pulls your size out, "Look! They have your size! We can match" Lizzie says as she hands you the sweatshirt.

The smile on your face grows as you take both sweatshirts from Lizzie's hands, allowing her to roam the store freely. You follow closely behind Lizzie as she continues to shop through the store.

"What have you got in your hands?" Justin asks as he approaches you and Lizzie.

"Lizzie picked out matching sweatshirts for us" you say to Justin as you show him the sweatshirts.

Justin inspects the matching sweatshirts, "Awh, how cute and gross at the same time."

"Gross?"

"What? Don't give me that look, you two are cute, but so cute that it's gross."

You give Justin a weird look "Whatever you say."

"Ugh, whatever. At least Mary-Kate gets me, right MK?" Justin shouts at Mary-Kate.

"Huh?" Mary-Kate says as she looks up from the clothing rack.

"Oh whatever" Justin says as he rolls his eyes.

"Since when were you allowed to call Mary-Kate MK?" You ask,jealous of Justin.

"Since just now. No one gave me permission, I just did it myself."

"Did what yourself?" Lizzie asks as she walks towards you with more clothes.

"Call Mary-Kate MK" Justin says to Lizzie.

"And did she answer you?" Lizzie asks.

"I mean, she looked up from what she was doing. Why is it such a big deal?"

"She usually only allows Ashley and I to call her MK."

"And I oop- well maybe I'm an exception."

"I wouldn't get your hopes up. She may have thought Ashley or I were calling her" Lizzie says as she pats Justin on the back.

"Is that supposed to offend me?" Justin asks.

Lizzie shrugs her shoulders, "Maybe. Maybe not. Do what you want with what you've been told."

Lizzie begins to walk into another clothing section, causing you to leave Justin.

"Hate to dash but I'm on holding duty" you say to Justin as you begin to walk away.

"You are so whipped" Justin says as he watches you carry Lizzie's clothes.

"You're just jealous you don't have someone to carry your things."

Justin mocks you as you walk away, causing you to giggle as you make your way over to Lizzie.

"I am in heaven right now, I love shopping" Lizzie says as she looks through more clothing racks.

"Oh I can tell, you've had a smile on your face since we walked into the store" you say as you adjust the clothes in your hands.

"Do you need help?" Lizzie asks as she sees you adjusting the clothes.

"I'm just fine darling" you say as you place a kiss on Lizzie's cheek.

Lizzie begins to blush as she looks up at you. She pulls you in for a quick kiss before she resumes her shopping.

"Now, it's time to shop for you" Lizzie says as she searches through the racks.

"For me!?" You ask as you follow Lizzie through out the store.

"Yes you!" Lizzie says as she points her finger at you.

'Oh great' you think to yourself.
