"What the hell am I supposed to get everyone?" Topanga throws herself on the food court bench. We've been at the mall for about an hour now, but she's had no luck finding gifts for our friends.

I have a plan for everyone's gifts. I've been thinking them out for weeks now, and had to talk to the others to make sure we weren't getting the same gifts.

The ones that I have found at the moment is Eric, Cory, and Jack's.

For Eric, I got a new cologne. A couple of days ago when he stopped in while I was working, he came in looking exasperated, but had a cheeky smile on his face.

"Ophelia, we have a problem," Eric slaps his hand on the counter, "a big one."

"Uh oh," I lean forward, "and what could this big problem be? Let me guess."

I pretend to think for a moment, "You forgot to wear underwear?"

Eric scoffs, "no. Well, yes. But that's not the problem."

I chuckle and go to make him a cup of coffee. "What is it?"

"So I'm walking in, looking as desirable as ever, when this chick comes up to me and tells me," he pauses for a dramatic effect. "I. Smell. Good."

I turn around and furrow my eyebrows, "Okay, you do?"

"But I'm a taken man now. I can't just have women coming up to me telling me I smell good!" Eric continues his dramatics. "I'm wearing single man cologne, I need a cologne that says "hey, back off ladies. I belong to Jane." You know?"

I decided after that encounter to get him a cologne that says he is taken. Not sure exactly what that means, but I bought him the best smelling cologne there. Hopefully it's not a "single man" scent.

I got a new pair of headphones for Cory. He has been complaining that his current ones only play out of the left side, and that's "not his dominant ear." Whatever the fuck that means. Topanga was also thankful because Cory has been playing his music out loud in their apartment when she's been trying to study.

I wasn't too positive on what to get Jack at first, but then I remembered how much of a coffee addict that man is. I decided to get him a set of 5 different coffee beans, and a bunch of tools to use to make fancier coffee. They even sell this thing that steams milk, and Jack loves his milk steamed. I was going to get him a whole new coffee machine, but he has some sort of weird attachment to his current one.

I know what I'm getting Topanga, but I just have to wait for her to use the bathroom before I go buy it.

I asked Cory what I should get her and he said he was going to get her a necklace with a 'C' on it, but he thought if he got her it, she would feel like a dog wearing a collar with her owners name on it, and Cory can NOT own Topanga.

I decided I would get her a necklace with both a 'T' and a 'C' charm on it, that way she's not being owned by Cory, and she will have her own initial as well.

For Shawn, I'm buying him a new camera. I don't think he's ever owned one, but he told me how much he loves photography, he just wouldn't know where to start. I decided on getting him a digital camera. I just have to find the store that sells them. They're fairly new, so I have a feeling it's going to be a hard find.

"Maybe just start with one person at a time? What would you get Eric?" I try to help my friend's thinking process.

"I don't know." Topanga facepalms.

I grab her hand and lead her to the stores, "C'mon, let's go look again."

The first thing I notice when I arrive outside of the trailer is the silence. And the lack of Keith's vehicle.
