Finn and Caleb are still walking around the mall
"Okay stop" Finn suddenly stops
"Oh Finn c'mon!" Caleb says with an exhausted face
"I said stop Caleb, I need to ask one thing" Finn starts again walking and sits on a bench, Caleb approaches to him
"Okay... Tell me" Caleb looks at him
"we are only going back and forth"
"I know, so?"
"we could decide what to do first, before clothes or the gift?"
Finn looks at him
"well you're right, we could choose" Caleb says and starts thinking
"I think clothes!" Caleb suddenly exclaims
"Yeah, okay! Let's go!"
Finn, stands up and walks in front of Caleb.

They go in some shops. Caleb wants something simple but unique and at the same time he doesn't know that his friend is doing same, not forgetting the date that he has later.

"Okay I think I'll buy this denim jacket, inside with fur coat, with this black nightshirt, and a simple shirt under all and I'll wear jeans with my favourite pair of Nike like shoes!" Caleb exclaims but his friend didn't even hear him, because he was too focused on this tight and bluejeans nightshirt
"Caleb, what do you think about this?" Finn turns towards his friend that stares at him with a weird gaze
"Umh Finn... That is good but what are you doing?" Caleb laughs in front of him
"I-I'm...Um I think I'll buy something today"
Finn nervously smiles
"Okay..."
Caleb looks at him with that look that wanna discover something
"by the way... I was talking, what do you think about this?"
...
The guys buy what they have chosen so tonight Caleb will wear his Nike, black jeans, a shirt with an unbottoned blue nightshirt and the demit jacket with fur coat inside; Finn decided to wear his Adidas, Stan Smith Sneakers model, a tight-fitting jeans and this new nightshirt.

They exit from the shop and go to eat a sandwich
"So are you spending good time?" Caleb asks while bites his sandwich
"Yeah, but c'mon I'm with you so it's normal" Finn says with a big smile. They continue to eat and talk about things; when they finish they walk around the mall
"Okay now the gift!" Caleb exclaims and stops
"Yeah, do you have some ideas?"
"Yeah well maybe" Caleb smiles, a comforting smile
"Okay tell me"
and while they are walking towards the little shop Caleb explains to him his idea
"Well I've thought about pictures"
"pictures? What do you mean?"
"a frame! Where she can makes a collage, her own collage! Yeah... She'll choose who inserts. She likes pics and she loves her friends so..." Caleb shyly smiles
"Caleb? This idea is amazing!"
"It is? Are you serious?" Caleb opens his eyes wide
"yeah!"
"o-okay okay! I don't know if I'll be in her collage but this frame is like a start! I won't insert pics because I want is her to choose, her most important people!"

Caleb continues to explain and Finn can see how much he is happy: his eyes shine when he talks about her, about Sadie. This makes Finn think about her person, her Millie. Maybe this could work, Caleb is so happy and he is living his present, his days, so he could do the same.

While they are walking Finn thinks that he should buy something for Millie, he already thought about flowers and he will take them after but now that his friend did something like this it's really a good idea to buy something special and cute for her, so Finn knows what he should do, right when he notices that shop with these cool backpacks
"Oh Caleb look there!"
"that shop?" Caleb turns towards the point indicated by Finn
"yeah, I needed it" Finn smiles at him
"Okay, we'll give a glance!"
so they enter in the shop, Finn already knows what he wants so he buys it soon
(you'll find the new backpack pic under all)
"Yeah it's cool, man!"
Caleb exclaims patting his shoulder but Finn isn't thinking him because he is focused on that shop, Disney shop... Full of stuffed animals and when the shop appeared in front of him then like a stroke of genius: of course she'd love a Disney stuffed animal!
"Hey Finn I go to the bathroom"
"Okay, I'll wait here" Finn replies followed by a smile; he sees his friend that leaves:

okay now.

Finn quickly walks towards the shop and he starts looking for her own stuffed animal, because he is sure there is one only for her.
