Hello hello everyone! Happy weekend, hope you all are doing well! Here's the next chapter and I hope you all enjoy!

As Savannah and Dil were making their way back downstairs in the elevator, the rest of the group were on their way upstairs on the escalator. Of course, Tommy was in for a surprise to see the crowd being outside the laser tag area and from what little he could see, the inside of the area being mostly messed up. Now sure, maybe it was another coincidence, but to Tommy something felt very off about these occurrences happening within the mall.

"You know guys, I thinks there's something really weird going on heres." Tommy commented to his friends

"What makes you says that, Tommy?" Lil asked

"Well I don't know for sures and I don't wants to scare Chuckie, but I thinks there might be a ghost going around making messes everywhere." Tommy answered

"A ghost? Why would there be a ghost in the mall of all places?" Kimi asked to follow up

"I don't knows, but I sawed with my own eyes some shoes moving arounds like they were walking by themselves when we were still downstairs." Tommy replied

"I means if the ghost is just a little baby ghostie then maybe it's just losted from it's mommy and daddy and just wants to play." Lil pondered, explaining her reasoning there might be a ghost in the mall

"Well, I hope that's true and it's not some mean ghost trying to breaks stuffs in the mall on purpose." Chuckie shuddered at the thought of a mean ghost wreaking havoc all over.

The rest of the gang agreed with Chuckie as they finally made their way over to the shoe store with their moms.

Meanwhile, the two toddlers in the elevator had long since arrived on the first floor as they wandered out of the elevator and past many of the stores lined down the corridor.

"Which store should everyone else bes at?" Savannah asked, looking at the various stores around them

"Um, my mommy said somethings about a clotheses store called Krupnicks or somethings likes that." Dil said

"Krupnicks, gots it. Uh but which clotheses store is that? There's a lot of clotheses stores in here." Savannah nodded, noting down the name in her head before the next question in her mind quickly came up

Dil was about to speak but ended up closing his mouth a moment later. He actually didn't knows which store was the right one. Before Dil could even form a proper answer, Dil spotted the security guard from earlier stepping out of the elevator, clearly back on the hunt for them after getting everything situated up on the second floor.

"We'll just has to checks them all, but we haves to gos now!" Dil quickly exclaimed, taking Savannah's hand as they both began to run into the nearest clothing store.

Spotting them in a flash, the security guard blew his whistle as he came spriting towards the two toddlers as they ran off. Dil and Savannah had ducked between one of the spinning clothing racks.

"If that police guy catches us and takes us back to my mommy we'll never gets to Tommy and the others." Savannah said in a panic

"Don't worry, we can sneaks between these clothes and when he's not paying no tentions, we can goes to a different store." Dil said, toddling over to the hanging clothes to take a peek out

Peeking between the clothes, Dil spotted the security guard checking the racks nearby. Once the guard had his back turned, Dil gestured for Savannah to follow him. Sneaking between the clothing racks, the duo made their way as close as possible to the exit. Entering the next rack, Savannah happened to go first this time only to happen to bump into another toddler who happened to be playing in the clothing racks.

"Owtch..." Savannah murmured as she looked up at the toddler she bumped into. Seeing the toddler wearing an aquamarine shirt and maroon red shorts, she also noticed the red hair as she realized who the toddler was. It happened to be no one other than Tanner McNulty.

"Savannah are you okays? What happened?" Dil asked as he entered the clothing rack after hearing Savannah's cry out of pain

"Oh uh, sorry." Tanner asked, awkwardly holding out his hand to offer Savannah and hand back onto her feet. "What are you guyses doing heres?" Tanner then asked

"We're trying to finds out if Dil's brother turneded into a doll acause we learneded that if you puts on someone elses shoes you turns into them and starts acting just likes them and his brother and friends were getting new shoes todays." Savannah explained

"Uh huh, and now we gots that police guy outs there trying to takes us back to Savannah's mommy so that's why we're hiding heres. If we donts finds the fake Tommy and makes him gives my brother his shoes backs, he might be stuck likes this forever!" Dil exclaimed, holding up the doll Tommy look-a-like.

"That's ridicurous, a kid can't turns into a doll acause the doll is wearing their shoes...right?" Tanner laughed, not buying the idea only to feel a wave of worry come over him knowing his mom and brothers were all also shopping for new clothes and shoes.

An awkward silence lasted for a brief moment between the toddlers as they all glanced at the doll in Dil's arm.

"Helps us gets out of here and we'll finds out for sure." Savannah suggested

"Why shoulds I?" Tanner huffed, crossing his arms

Reaching into her pocket, Savannah pulled out a Reptar bar she had been saving for a snack later on the ride back home.

"Heres, I was gonna haves it as a snacky but if you will helps us I'll gives it to you." Savannah offered

Tanner just stared at the candy bar in Savannah's hands before letting out a grunt of frustration before letting out a sigh.

"Keeps it, I'll helps you." Tanner murmured

"Are you sures?" Savannah asked, giving the other toddler a confused look

"Yeah I'm sures, just takes it back afore I changes my mind." Tanner answered, crossing his arms

"Wow you're a lots nicer than I thoughts, Tanner" Dil giggled

"Don't gets used to it." Tanner muttered again, feeling his face heat up in embarrassment

"So, do you haves a plan?" Savannah asked, placing the Reptar bar back in her pocket

"Yeah, here's what I'll dos." Tanner said before he began to explain the idea he had in mind to the other two toddlers.

What is Tanner's plan to distract the security guard? Will it work? Find out next time!
