- At The Mall -

Rydel - Hmm... what about this one, Laur (pulls out a red maxi dress)?

Laura - Uh, Rydel. Have you seen me walk in heels? How can I even wear a maxi dress with out tripping over myself?

Rydel - Oh! Then, how about... this one (pulls out a waist-tight bright yellow dress)?

Laura - I don't know, Rydel. Yellow isn't really my color.

Rydel - (sighs) Come on, Laura. You have to get something. Delly has a rule. You are not a girl if all you wear are a T-Shirt & jeans (shakes her head disapprovingly at Laura's outfit).

Vanessa - How about this one (holds up a red chevron waist-tight dress)?

Laura - Hmm, not so bad. What else do you have?

Rydel - How about this (mint green high-low dress)?

Laura - (sighs) Just give me all you've got. I'll change & you'll decide which ones I'll buy.

Rydel & Vanessa - (look at each other & smiles) Okay.

Laura - (sits down on a chair & waits for them to finish choosing dresses)

*15 Minutes Later*

Rydel & Vanessa - (come back with a giant handful of dresses)

Laura - Ah! Oh my god. Why is there so much?

Vanessa - Today isn't a normal shopping day. Today, we are giving you a new look, because this (gestures to Laura's hair & clothes) just isn't working.

Laura - Hey! I like my look!

Rydel - Well, it's time to change it. Trust me, you'll love what we have planned for you (squeals).

Laura - Okay, then. Hand me the dresses.

Rydel - (hands her 10 dresses)

Laura - (goes into the dressing room)

*2 Minutes Later*

Laura - (comes out) How does this look?

Rydel & Vanessa - (shake their heads) Way too tight.

Laura - (goes back in)

*2 Minutes Later*

Laura - (comes out)

Vanessa - (shakes her head) Looks too revealing, next!

Laura - (goes back in)

*2 Minutes Later*

Laura - (comes out)

Rydel - It kinda makes you look fat.

Laura - Well, because I am fat.

Vanessa - No, you're skinny as hell! You're no fatter than a toothpick!

Laura - (sarcastic) Gee, thanks (goes back in and tries several dresses).

*45 Minutes Later*

Laura - (comes out with a light yellow waist-tight daisy dress) I like this one. What do you think?

Rydel & Vanessa - (look at each other) Perfect!

Laura - Okay! I'll get this one (goes back in & changes, then walks out & pays the cashier)!

Cashier - Have a nice day! Thank you for shopping at Fab4Less!

Rydel, Vanessa, & Laura - (walk out of the store)

Random Guy #1 - (winks at Vanessa when he passes her)

Vanessa - (replies with a flirty smile)

Random Guy #2 - (looks at Laura weirdly, points to her & laughs softly to his friend)

Rydel & Vanessa - (notices & looks at each other, nods & walks up to the guys)

Laura - (follows them)

Random Guy #1 - Hey, babe (winks at Vanessa).

Vanessa - Shut up (crosses her arms).

Random Guy #1 - Oh, fiesty! I dig that (smirks).

Vanessa - (smacks him)

Random Guy #1 - OW! That hurt!

Vanessa - (smiles, proud of herself)

Rydel - Listen, we (points to herself & flings her finger to Vanessa) noticed you two assholes, pointing at my best friend & sister, & laughing at her. So, do we have a problem here?

Vanessa - (steps closer)

Random Guy #1 - (backs away) N-No, t-there's no pr-problem here, heh (smiles nervously, scared of Vanessa).

Vanessa - (thinks ; Man, Ness! You are on fire today!) Good.

Rydel - Now... as for you (points at the second guy). Do you have something to say?

Random Guy #2 - (scoffs) I'm not scared of you.

Rydel - Very well then (lifts his arm over her shoulder & flips him on his back).

Random Guy #2 - Aw (winces in pain)!

Rydel - (kicks him on the side of the stomach with her sharp-studded black boots)

Random Guy #2 - (holds his stomach, shouts) Holy shit!

Vanessa - (kicks him in the crotch with her pointy red heels)

Random Guy #2 - (shouts) Fuck (holds his crotch)!

Rydel - (about to punch him in the nose)

Random Guy #2 - OKAY, alright! Please... don't hurt me (cries in pain).

Vanessa - You better think before you tease about my sister. If you're both still here in 10 seconds, you'll be jacked-up by us even worse (smiles).

Vanessa - 9.

Rydel - 8.

Vanessa - You already know I'd do anything for you, Sis (hugs her back).

Rydel - You're practically my sister now, so there's nothing I wouldn't do for you (laughs & hugs her back).

Rydel, Vanessa, & Laura - (pull away) Let's keep shopping.
