Alex POV:

We passed 4 tourist sites before we got to the shopping centre. First, we stopped at a cathedral which was surrounded by the public, and marble fountains. I took a couple of pictures of Piper every place we stopped. I made sure to remember my camera (photography is a little hobby of mine) and I loved catching piper at the exact right moment, where she's smiling widely, showing off her perfect straight white teeth. I managed to capture the excitement gleaming in her eyes, and how her nose slightly scrunched when she was about to laugh. I even made a video of her laughing, and I loved the way she exposed her neck when laughing, and you could see her throat bob.

I could tell she was loving herself, I'd point things out to her, and a smile hasn't ran away from her face all morning. We also went through a big red bridge, and somehow the paps took a picture of piper and I cycling, looking at each other smiling and still had the bridge in the background. They were good. It was becoming clearer and clearer piper and her were in love. People knew it too, they'd point at us, wave and smile. I even heard a old woman tell her husband "they're in love those two. I bet you, few months, royal engagement will be the headline on the news". I smiled, hoping that it would be too.

It was late September, but somehow still warm. The weather matched my (and hopefully pipers) mood - hot, sunny, and there was a gentle fresh breeze.

After two hours, we finally arrived at the shopping centre. I wasn't tired, I could go days without food or rest, like the rest of my kind. But piper was barely developed as a Syn, so I was worried we'd have to stop and eat straight away. I signalled Seff, a trusted soldier, to bring water over for us. Piper took a few gulps and politely said thank you, almost looking pleased I knew when she needed things.

Peoples started to gather around us, which I expected. I would rather spend the day like normal people, without having to bother with the hassle of being a well known celebrity in public. More than a celeb, their Queen. The soldiers kept them at bay, but I decided to let out some of my signature black smoke (which people rumoured causes plagues and death, which is amusing to me, as it's literally harmless).

And the sea of people parted, carefully keeping their distance from piper and I.

I took her into a music store first, it was filled with old records and record players, instruments, cds, Walkmans, and headphones.

I pulled piper over to a table with headphones on, and placed them over her ears. She looked a bit confused, and I realised she's never seen or used these before. I gently remove one ear of the headphone off of her ear, and using the raspiest voice I could muster, told her "these play music. Just listen, if you like them I'll buy you one. They're the latest invention, I can get you a phone as well. Download a music app, and you can listen to any music at any time, without being disturbed by having these bad boys on" I tapped her headphones playfully. A store clerk, who was balding and had crooked glasses started sweating, I could almost taste it on my tongue. It was disgusting, curse my heightened senses.

I asked the man "could I?" Pointing to the phone, and he nodded quickly.

I pondered over a good song to choose, until the song came to me. "Only You" by Yazoo. This was one of my all time favourites, and I truly hoped piper liked it. I started playing it, and her eyes widened. She seemed to be in shock, and I was about to take the headphones off when she started beaming at me, subconsciously tapping the beat of the song with her foot. She eventually closes her eyes, and dances slightly to it, tilting her head. She didn't know how adorable she looked. Her smiles took my breath away, and nearly stopped my world from turning. She clearly was loving it. While she listened, I bought her a phone, gave it to Seff, and asked him to download a music app as well as put my contact, her brother Danny's, her family and my officials contacts on the phone. I choose a silver phone for her, and was about to look for a case when she nudged my arm, her words dripping with disappointment "it's over. It's gone. Why? How can I get it back?"
