The Mall

        When #82 arrives at the mall. #79 and The Server gawk at her appearance. Her hair is a cool baby blue. Her eyes are navy blue. The light reflects off her eyes in its beauty. Like moonlight shining down on a night cascaded ocean. It's entrancing. Despite the drastic changes she pulls her hair back in a ponytail. Her hair is still short. She's lucky she can tie it back.

        #79, being who she is, doesn't react to this gracefully.

        "What happened to you!" She grabs her friend by her face and squishes her cheeks, "Why do you look so different."

        #82 remains calm and collected, "Please let go of me."

        "But you look so different!" she says.

        "I'm about as different as you," #82 pushes #79 off of her.

        The Server places a finger on the chin, "I wonder when I'll start changing."

        "It is odd your apperance haven't changed yet," says #82.

        "You'd think, you'd be one of the first, seeing how... Vibrant your personality is," #79 says.

        "Speaking of 'vibrant personality', where is that girl? I said to be here by eight."

        "I don't know," #79 says, "She hasn't said anything."

        "Oh, there she is!" The Server points to Gossip Girl.

        Gossip Girl's appearance seems to be the culprit for her tardiness. She wears white high waisted jeans, a black bishop sleeved blouse, black wedges, with a surplus of accessories sprinkled on top. She's curled hair and wears it half up half down. Her make up is simple but sharp. She strides to the three of them. A beige pocketbook hangs off her arm.

        She flips her hair, "Sorry, I'm late."

        "You don't sound very sorry," #82 says.

        "That's unfortunate I guess."

        #79 senses an unsung resentment growing between the two of them. She knows if the two of them start an argument, Gossip-Girl will make a show out of it. She doesn't know how #82 will do in an argument since she's changed so much.

        "Hey guys," #79 says, "Do you know if they're still in line."

        "They are. I see them," The Server says. She holds binoculars. to her eyes and peers up at the second floor.

        "Why do you have binoculars?" Gossip-Girl says.

        "Well we're spying on them aren't we?"

        "Yes, but that doesn't mean we need to look like absolute fools while doing it. People are going to call the police on us if we look too suspicious."

        "Oh, we'll be fine. Don't sweat it," she dismisses Gossip Girl with a wave of her hand.

        "Let's go while they're insight," 82 heads to an escalator.

The rest follow suit.

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

        The FRC stands in line. They had arrived early, but it didn't save them from a long wait. Thankfully they were nearing the end of their waiting process. The end of the line stretches three stores back. The FRC is now standing at the game store's windows. Momo and Hino are in front of Hamasaki and Watanabe who are bickering like usual.
