Okay so back to Olive and Melanie's present POV..

Olive's POV

"So..where exactly are we going? I know you said shopping but, where, exactly?" I asked as I put on my shoes in the cab that they had called for.

"We are going to The Village at Westfield London. It's this big mall over on Ariel Way. There's plenty of shops there, and we'll get you some new sets of clothes, accessories, and toiletries. Sound good?" Louise asked.

"Sounds awesome! Thank you so much for helping us Louise.." Melanie said.

"Of course! No problem!" Louise replied back with a toothy grin.


About 20 minutes later, the cab driver stopped in front of the main entrance of the mall, and Phil paid him.

The mall itself was absolutely GIGANTIC. It looks even bigger on the inside than it does on the outside.

"Come on girls!" Louise looked back at Dan and Phil, "And guys..Time to shop!"

Not even two minutes after being there, a group of four girls ran up to us, squealing. I'm guessing that they knew who either, Dan, Phil or Louise was, if not all of them.

"Ohmigosh! You're Danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil and SprinkleOfGlitter!!! We all love you so much!!!" A girl with blue hair, a nose piercing and a gray beanie said.

Yep. I was right. Dan, Phil and Louise signed their phone cases with a sharpie, and got a selfie with them. It felt kind of awkward just watching it happen in front of me in real life. If it weren't for the current situation, I probably would have been fangirling with them too. But that kind of already happened this morning while we were eating pancakes together.

Finally, the girls left us and we continued to shop.

First, we went to a Justice, and they bought Melanie and I matching tee shirts with a pug on it that was saying, 'I'm internet famous,' it was pretty cute, but typical London weather is kind of cold (even though it's late May) so they bought us matching grey jackets too-actually, everything they bought matched, because Melanie and I wanted to dress alike. We also bought a few accessories, like hair ties and head bands.

Next, we went to GAP and bought a few shirts. They weren't very decorative, but still pretty colorful and comfy. While we were in there, a girl who looked to be around our age was shopping with who was probably her mom, and recognized Phil, Dan and Louise. She got a picture with the three of them, and they signed this little notebook that her mother had bought her. After thanking them for the autograph and picture, the two walked out of the store.

"Do people always come up to you like that?" Melanie asked while her, Louise and I browsed through some clothes.

"Well, Phil and I like never leave the apartment, but even when we do it doesn't happen too much. Unless we're at a meet up, we don't usually meet two totally different groups of fans within the same hour." Dan said. He was looking at some black flats that would go nice with some of the outfits that we bought. "What do you think about these?"

"Girly." Phil said.

"Not you, Phil!" Dan laughed while pushing Phil playfully.

"I like them," Melanie said while giggling.

"Me too," I said.

"Perfect!" Dan said while dropping two pairs into the shopping basket. Louise dropped a few pairs of colorful socks in as well.

The five of us walked to the check out counter where they paid for our stuff and left.

They were trying to equally divide the cost from each store, so each time we bought something, the paying process took a while.

Finally we were on our way to the last store, Claire's where we were just going to buy a few accessories that would go with some of the clothing we picked out.

All we bought from there was two identical sets of earrings, which had eight earrings per set. Only Louise payed for those, since Dan and Phil said that they would pay for dinner.

We lugged all of the bags down to the bottom floor, then called for another cab, which took us to Dan and Phil's flat. We set all of the bags down in the living room, then went to a pizzeria to get dinner.

Since Melanie is an extremely picky eater, she ate half of her slice of pizza (starting from the crust) then kind of left it on her plate.

"Child are you serious?" I said, "You told me to bite off the tip of your pizza because you say that there's a lot of cheese there, then you just work your way backwards from the pizza, and don't even eat the whole thing. If you're not going to eat it, can I at least have it?"

"Yep, here you go." She handed me the half-consumed slice of pizza, then continued to (slowly) sip her water as she sat criss-crossed in her chair.

She always tells me that she feels bad when she doesn't eat her food, but if she doesn't like it then she doesn't like it. I don't worry about the food going to waste, because if i'm there then I'll eat it, but I do worry about her eating nothing. The only reasons that she ate while we were with Benton was because

1.) She was scared that if she didn't, then he would hurt her

2.) We were hardly fed, so after days of not eating, she would eat anything.

After eating, we said our thank yous and goodbyes to Louise, then Dan offered Melanie a few pieces of toast since she didn't eat much during dinner, which she accepted.

Melanie went to bed right after she finished her toast and changed into one of the big tee shirts that Louise had brought us to use for sleepwear. I wasn't tired yet, but even at home, she always went to bed much earlier than I did.

She came to the living room where Dan, Phil and I were, gave me a goodnight hug, and said goodnight to Dan and Phil.

They showed me the first few episodes of Attack On Titan, and after the third one, I decided that I was sleepy too, so I joined Melanie in Dan's bed, where I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

------------------

I'm so good at quick updates.

I'm so bored all the time too, and I always say to myself, "I'll start writing," but then I go, "But I'm so lazy..." and roll around on my floor questioning the existence of all life...

I also wonder if everyone around me actually is controlled by something, and I'm the only one that actually has a brain and if everyone else is actually just a robot that was programmed to be able to speak properly and has enough capacity to learn new things in school.

But then there are robots that are deformed in the way of language, which causes them to stutter.


Wait.


I stutter.


MAYBE I'M A ROBOT TOO
