RISE AND FALL

   “Uh… why are we at the Avalon Mall, last I checked we’re not Avalarians why are we getting their clothes? “Arlan asked. “Just trust me we’ll look like Avalon elites”, Arlan nodded. But we will have to enter the mall undetected. Arlan rose an eyebrow nodding Marilia spotted a bunch of girls giggling, then she smirked. “And I know just the perfect cover” The next thing Arlan knew he was running in front of the mall panting and looking around like he was being chased. “Oh 
my gosh it’s Arlan Shaw!” Marilia claimed as she run past the girls, who all turned and flocked 
to Arlan like they were devoted fan girls. Marilia hid in the crowds she entered the mall, she dragged Arlan away from the girls who didn’t even notice, okay that was fun, how did you know they’d do that? Arlan mused. They looked vain and you sounded like a celebrity… don’t be surprised. Arlan beamed, okay we got here undetected now what do we do? Arlan asked. Marilia pulled some clothes from underneath the shelves and pulled Arlan into a dressing room. “Wear these” Arlan looked confused but nodded as Marilia went into a different dressing room with her own stuff. When they were done, they looked like wealthy Avalarians. 
Saturday morning rolled around and Tamala decided to apologize to Flora and Arlan. Though that’s as far as her apology would go. she went over to Maki’s place. 
   “Good morning, Marks, have you seen Arlan? I called him this morning but he didn’t pick” Tamala said “No… not since yesterday. He left right after Marilia.” Maki said Tamala remember 
the call she had with Arlan the night before. she was also stemmed on the question but she kept mute. “That girl crazy”. Maki said mostly to himself thinking back to his fight with Marilia.  Tamala placed ahead on his shoulder. Patience, I don’t exactly know what you’re feeling but you 
wouldn’t have started dating Marilia if there weren’t positive things about her, whatever the reason for your anger all you should do is be patient. Tamala said gently, you’re right I should apologize… perhaps a text? Maki said, Tamala nodded, He typed. I’m sorry about the argument Marilia I haven’t heard from you since you run off last night. Tamala smiled as Maki hit send.  Now what? Arlan asked, just follow my lead. Marilia smacked she grabbed a bottle of perfume and a few other things and placed them in a gift bag “Marilia, what are you…” she warned him and walked right to the counter. “Excuse me miss, but I was informed that this perfume is supposed to smell like buttercup flowers and honey, but it turns out it smells like Roses, I despise roses, I taught of calling my lawyers, informing them of this monstrously but my brother here convinced me otherwise I demand a refund. Marilia said in a heavy Avalarian accent. “of course, mam… let me just look at your receipt”. The woman said, “Arlan give the nice woman the receipt”. Marilia said, Arlan looked dumb rounded, “err… right…let me just”. He looked through his pockets pretending 
to dropped it. Arlan lied, Marilia sighed. looks like we don’t have it. Is there another way? Marilia asked we could look at your credit card purchases. The woman said “I paid in cash”. Marilia said, Arlan was getting uncomfortable 
with the situation “Marilia… this is a bad idea”. He whispered she brushed him off. “Well, are you going to do a refund or not?” Marilia asked the woman 
rolled her eyes; I wasn’t born yesterday. The woman said “security!!” she shouted “uh… oh” Marilia and Arlan said in unison. They both ran dodging security and skating across the mall. They ran into a crowd of people in street After a while they were painting at an alley way. “What was the point of that?”  Arlan asked breathless and a little giddy. “fun” Marilia answered with a smirk.  That was so wrong but it felt so right. Arlan said excitedly. “That’s my whole philosophy” Marilia winked. A light blush fell over Arlan’s cheeks, “You’re…  awesome Mars”. Arlan blushed. “Mars?” Marilia asked amused. Um... is it 
okay if I call you that? Arlan asked “only if I call you Arl” Arlan grinned “of course”. He said look on the Brightside of all this, we look like Avalarians.  Marilia said, Arlan beamed. Marilia got a notification on her phone when she saw it’s her face darkened. “You okay mars?” just fine, Marili said typing something. “Hey… umm… could you stay just for an extra day I mean… it’s 
just Mr. Grayson home and …I usually call Tamala over but…you know it…   Arlan slumbered “of course. I’ll stay Marilia smiled at him, Arlan blushed.
