The pair strolled around for a bit more.

"Ew!! What are those?! Why are they so hard to kill?!" Robby screeched when a large insect started crawling around. "Those are cockroaches." Mandy shivered. "I absolutely hate them..they are so dang hard to kill. Creepy too." Mandy led a freaked out Robby away from the cockroach.

"OoOo." Mandy stared at some food. "You hungry?" Robby asked questionably. "Yeah..kinda. Mind if I get a snack first?" "Sure!"

Mandy picked out a bag of some chips and munched on them. "So Rob, what do you have in mind today?" She looked over at Robby, who was staring off into space. "Rob?" She waved her hand in front of his face. "Rob? Earth to Robby?" "Can we go outside the mall?" Robby blurted out. Mandy's eyes widened. "What?! That's crazy! We can't just do that!" Mandy shouted. "But we explored the mall already. Besides, wouldn't it be fun to explore the outside?" Robby argues back with a small smile on his face. "And aren't you tired of having to eat the same things? There might be some new stuff! Oh! And we can maybe get you something to travel on! What do you say?"

Mandy gave in and sighed. She had to admit, she really did want to find a new way to travel so she wouldn't burden Robby with carrying her. She was also tired of eating cookies, bread, and chips. She was also as curious as Robby on what the exterior of the mall looked like. "Alright. Let's go."

Robby practically squealed and immediately plopped Mandy on his back and bursted through the glass doors. Their jaws drop open when they see the outside. "Wow.." Robby whispered in amazement. "How long has it been since I last been outside?" Mandy mumbled. The sky was a mixture of purples, reds, oranges. Grey clouds circle the sky. The sun is in the distance, setting down. They were both lost for words.

Robby dropped Mandy and she landed with a thud. She saw Robby turn his head right and left. "Look at the walls.." Mandy did as she was told and looked. There was slight graffiti, but the walls remained that same while and blue it had last time she went to the mall and never came back. Suddenly, they hear some rustling from the bushes. Mandy and Robby tense. A few seconds later, four figures appear. A zebra with a fencing sword, a pony with glasses and a wood crafted weapon, a small piglet with a bat, and what looks to be a police officer.

The pig appears to be carrying a small white box. "H-hi. Don't worry, w-we won't h-hurt you." The pony stuttered as he approached. He takes the white box from the pig's hands and opens it. Out comes a needle with some sort of yellow substance. "Don't move." The pony mumbled as he injected it into Mandy.

All Mandy saw before she blacked out was Robby becoming visibly angry, and charging at the group. Then, she passed out.
