"COME ON, HURRY up Pickles!" Biana Vacker flipped her hair over her shoulder as she took a selfie in front of the Princeville Mall. "Get in the picture or else you're not going on my story."

Tam Song, otherwise known as Tammy, (courtesy of Biana), panted beside her with his hands on his knees. "It's not..my fault..that..Riverton High..doesn't have P.E..like you guys do, Bia," he finished, taking deep breaths between every word, trying to catch his breath.

Biana rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Pickles," she said, then suddenly beamed and an adorable (courtesy of Tam) smile lit up her face. "We should go on a shopping spree! Pretty please, Pickles?"

She gave him her infamous puppy eyes, the ones that everyone in their highschool, Foxfire High, knew you couldn't say no to.

Tam sighed. "Fine," he said, "but only because you're impossible to say no to."

He kissed her forehead and she giggled. "Thank you, Tammy. Now, let's gooo!"

Tam laughed and allowed her to pull him from store to store.

Tam had to stifle a laugh as Biana tried for the fifteenth time to reach his favorite cereal, Fruit Loops,from the top shelf of the cereal aisle. Apparently Biana had gotten bored of the mall after a while and they decided to go to the grocery store instead to get some things for their apartment.

After her sixteenth failed attempt and her stomping her foot adorably against the while tile flooring, Tam decided that he probably should be a "good" boyfriend and go help her.

"Need help, shortie?" he smirked, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.

Biana pouted and crossed her arms, then gave up, turned, and buried her head into his chest. "Why am I so SHORT?" she mumbled, absentmindedly wrapping her arms around him in a hug.

A few people walking around took in the scene before them. Usually Tam Song was NOT a touchy-feely person. Plus, she didn't look like his twin sister Linh. They seemed to be so hopelessly confused before one of the store cashiers and her boyfriend, Sophie Foster and Keefe Sencen, smirked and helped the poor people out.

"That's my bestie over there," Sophie told them. "She's his girlfriend, so I'd stop staring if I were you before you get your ass whooped."

They walked away.

Tam watched them out of the corner of his eye.

"Stop being so protective," Biana said, slapping his arm playfully. "I can handle a few stragglers!"

"I never said you couldn't," Tam replied. "I just didn't like the looks of some of those..boys."

Biana rolled her eyes. "Tammy, they're the same age as you, sweetheart."

Tam's cheeks turned red at the compliment but he refused to back down. "So? The way they were looking at you, they might as well have been little ten year olds."

"Whatever. Can you help me get the Fruit Loops? Pleaseeee?"

"Sure, get on my shoulders."

Biana turned around and Tam placed his hands on her hips, and with a grunt lifted her onto his shoulders. He held her by her ankles as she reached out for the fruit loops.

Meanwhile, back with Sophie and Keefe, a flash appeared.

Keefe smirked. "Now I have blackmail," he said, studying the photo of the couple.

Sophie slapped his arm. "Stop it! It's a couple moment! It's supposed to be cute!"

"It is. It's disgustingly cute watching 'PiCkLeS' try to flirt with his girlfriend."

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you dork!"

Keefe smiled at her, wrapping his arms around her from behind and lifting her chin so she looked up to his face. "But I'm your dork."

Sophie's cheeks blazed red. "This is supposed to be Tiana, Keefe!"

Keefe shrugged. "What? I can't help it."

Sophie, shaking her head, turned back to the couple, who were now playfully bantering about which color was better, black or pink.

"I think they'll fit in just fine," she whispered.

"Yeah," Keefe said. "And all because of a Mall Day, eh?"

That earned him another slap on the arm.

But Tam and Biana didn't pay them any attention. In fact, it was if it was only them and their box of Fruit Loops.
