Luna's POV

Sharing a room with Lily is kind of hard.

She begs me to decorate it with her. It's already a soft pinky lavender color, and we'd unloaded our stuff in the closets.

"I want to decorate it a little" she declares.

"Just don't forget that I live here too" I state.

"Lu, I have good taste. How long are we staying here?"

"A month and a half to two."

"Okay, then we don't have to completely remodel it. Just fancy it up with some posters or something."

"I guess" I oblige.

"Good. Then you're coming with me to pick things out."

I let out a groan.

The Grove Mall is one of L.A.'s largest shopping centers.

A towering outdoor facility for thousands of people to walk around in.

I'm dragged there at ten that night by her highness in search of anything to make her living space more "Lily."

We walk down a salmon gravel pathway, palm trees shining overhead with little yellow lights.

"I wonder how Roxanne is, home alone. Do you think they're torturing her?" I ask.

"Oh please" Lily scoffs, "She's home alone with boys, it's her dream come true."

We walk into Urban outfitters.

"They have vinyl records in the back" I state.

"But we don't have a record player" Lily affirms.

"I know, but we could use the album covers."

"That's a good idea. And we can hang them up on the wall like a collage!"

I stand on my tiptoes to reach Lana's "Born to Die" album.

I'm glad I bought it on my phone, knowing I won't be able to hear the vinyl.

"Do you think she's gonna frickle frackle with them all?" I ask feverishly.

"She might be planning something" Lily replies, "You know her."

She grabs three more; Arctic Monkeys, Lorde's "Pure Heroine", and Adele "21."

I throw in Nirvana's "Never Mind" album, after she grabs Ed Sheeran, the 1975, all time low, and green day.

We get some decorative lights to go along with them

"What do you want for your birthday?" I question Lily.

"Hmm," she muses, "I like gift cards, iTunes, you guys know what I like."

We make our last stop into Bath and Body Works for candles.

They have their huge summer blowout sale two months early.

"What's the point of buying on sale when you're a multi-millionaire?" I ask.

She shrugs,
"Then you don't feel as bad when buying as much."

I think we must've bought half the store.

Lily's POV

Luna struggles to carry the six shopping backs and my purse.

"How come I'm carrying everything?" she complains.

"Well your taking the place of Harry today" I explain.

"He carries your purse too?!"

"We're almost there."
