Lay’s P.O.V
I woke up in tears from what I thought was a terrible dream, I turned on my back to see I was surrounded by pale gray walls all around which there seemed to be no way out. It wasn’t a dream; we were in a prison I started to hyperventilate and banging on the walls “let me out of here! Please!” after a few minutes of my cries a door opens to a bathroom with clothes folded on a counter for me. At this point I didn’t want to disobey these people so I showered and put the clothes on. I sat on my new metal bed not making any sudden movements when the door opens again but it isn’t my bathroom it’s to the main circle we were in yesterday. I think it is, it looks different I heard someone scream my name and I turned my head just in time to see that it was Eileen that came to hug me. “You’re okay!” she said squeezing me “so are you, where is everyone? And where are we?” we both tried to examine the place, but it honestly didn’t look familiar. Then the others appeared out of the walls wearing the same clothes Eileen and I were wearing. “What is this place?” Kyah said rubbing her eyes to Jay whose arm was linked with hers. We all sat in the center of the dome just waiting. “Maybe if we just wait something will happen, that’s what happened this morning” Ty suggested as if someone were watching us the dome shed a layer of skin to reveal a glass ceiling with a bright sun shining down on us. The doors we came out of became different stores and some were restaurants. Is..is this a mall? “Wow a mall how stunning, I can get my mom a souvenir from paradise” Imani said blandly. We all spread out around the dome watching everything come to life before our eyes, I looked back at where we sat and there was a large fountain in the middle of this new plaza. A screen popped up from the ceiling and we all had our eyes on Princeton.
“Hey ladies, it’s yours truly Princeton and I just wanted to welcome you to your first day in the Paradise Dome. We thought it would be nice for you guys to go shopping so you won’t have to wear the same thing, because the boys and I know that you’re all different and that your clothes should show who you are. So go ahead shop, eat, and have a good time because everything is free. Stay Mindless!”
“You heard my future husband, let’s goo” Eileen said pulling my arm towards one of the stores. I just need to loosen up and enjoy everything here.

Kyah’s P.O.V
Everything I’ve ever wanted! It’s all here I didn’t know where to start Imani and Jay both had bags all over their arms. “Gucci this, Gucci that!” Jay and Imani chimed coming out of the Gucci store “Oooh girl you’re lookin’ so official” Imani said to Jay as Jay put on her new sunglasses. “you know I gotta WERK. Twin, are you even getting anything. You barely took anything” Jay said catching up to me. I was too busy making my way to the store that had the one thing I wanted. A bell rang as I opened the door looking around “Welcome to Roc’s world of pets. Can I help you with anything?” I nearly tackled him when I ran to hug him, then I remembered yesterday. I fixed my face and continued to look around the store like I never saw him. “Do you have any puppies?” I said still not looking him in the face. “Oh yeaah, I heard you liked dogs” He took my hand in his and led me to the back of the store. There were so many dogs! “Can I just have all of them?” I said realizing he still had my hand then snatching it back. “You can only keep one with you in your room, but I could keep them here for you.” I picked up a teacup yorkie and held him like a new born baby. “Hey, my name’s Kyah” I said to my new friend and I felt Roc’s arm wrap around me as we both knelt down with all the puppies. “Do you want to help me name them?” I said while smiling back at him for the first time today.

Imani’s P.O.V
“Helloo fabulous people, well fabulous person” I said pretending to ignore Ziya. “Whatever bootyface, you look ridiculous with all that stuff on, where did Kyah go?” Ziya asked. “I don’t know, Jay and I lost her so we decided to come to the food court” “and of course we would find you here” Jay said looking at Ziya as she sat all her bags down on a table. “ Well I can’t help it if all this free food was calling my name! Plus after Ty and I got our iPods and went to the arcade I had to eat something.” I sat down next to Ty as she was concentrated on her new game, barely paying any attention to us. I got up with Ziya to go get something to snack on and ended up at a smoothie place. I stared up at the menu and spoke to the empty bar “can I get an Orange Mango smoothie?” Then I see him pop out of nowhere with fruit in his hands. “Would you like extra mangos or oranges?” I shrieked sliding out of the stool I was sitting on. “Ughh, you do I really need to hit you again?” He backed up at my words and I could see that he had a bandage made with gauze under his blue beanie. “Look I don’t know what I did, but I’m sorry. I just want to make it up to you.” I rolled my eyes at his apology and looked up finally seeing the sign “Dr. Loon’s smoothie bar? Of course it is, can I just get my smoothie now?” He started blending while talking to me “so are you from around here?” I glared at his dumb attempt at conversation “Oh yeah I’m from the other side of the dome ya know?” I said sarcastically. He made a face at me as he handed me my drink. “What’s your problem?” I made a shocked look “LOOK AROUND! THIS ISN’T A REAL MALL! There’s nobody here, and what am I supposed to do, Ray? Just be happy and shop for the rest of my life? Atleast in mates get one phone call” “You’re so ungrateful! This is all for you! The boys and I welcome you and what do you do? You hit me with a chair, I make you a smoothie and what do you do? Start being rude for no reason, so maybe if you relaxed like your friends and get your head out of your butt then there wouldn’t be a problem” That’s it, I stood on the counter and poured my drink all over his head. “You know what would make this place paradise? If you would just stay out of my face, Ray!” I hopped off the counter and stomped over to a hotdog stand.
