[Open Log] Life begins after school, that's where we bend all the rules...

Who: ERRYONE
What: SHOPPING!
Where: THE MALL!
When: NOW! (September 20 - 26)
Warnings: S for SHOPPING

Sometimes... Sometimes people just needed things. Basic necessities, food, clothes, video games... Of course, after the big Angry Birds attack a few days ago, it was likely people needed to replace broken things too. (How did that even happen anyway...)

Whatever the reason, the mall was the place to be.

Shantae shook her head as they walked. "No way, you're my friend, and you went to the trouble of watching my try on clothes! Least I could do is treat you to lunch," she suggested. "What do you want to eat?"

[punchtheflute]

"I-it really wasn't any trouble!" Sonny replied. She made it sound like it was difficult or something, but he'd really enjoyed it! "If you insist, though? Burgers. Or a burger. I eat a lot, so, I wouldn't want you to buy me a full lunch! That would be too much!"

[magicdancer]

Oh, Sonny. Patience had to be rewarded. Besides, she was used to Bolo making her treat him if she made him watch her try on clothes.

"Okay, a jumbo burger for the big guy!" she said with a smile.

[punchtheflute]

"Yeah! Oh, extra pickles, if that's OK? And hold the onions!"

......because. You never knew when his face might be upwind of hers. He didn't want to treat her to onion breath. Just in case.

[magicdancer]

And so it came to pass that burgers were ordered. A big meaty burger for Sonny, a moderate sized burger for Shantae. And yea, it was good and tasty.

"Mmm. Not bad at all!"

[punchtheflute]

Sonny's was gone really, really quickly. He was staaaaaarving!

"That was so good! Thanks so much!" he said, having finished his fries and soda just about as quickly as the burger.

[magicdancer]

"Wow, you really WERE hungry," Shantae said, watching him down his meal like it was nothing, letting out a small laugh. "No problem. This was fun today!"

[punchtheflute]

"I had a really great time! I hope we can do stuff like this again!" he replied with a grin.

Maybe we could go to dinner some day?

Hey, maybe I could cook for you and we could watch TV or something?

Netflix and chill?

All things that he would love to say, but that Meowth had his tongue again.

[magicdancer]

"It was!" she agreed with a grin. "We should do this again some time soon!"

And it was then that Sonny missed his chance, as Shantae got up from the table. "It's been a blast, but I've gotta get going. I've got some assignments I'm procrastinating on that I can't put off any more. I'll see you later!"

[punchtheflute]

"OK! Bye! Talk to you soon!" he replied, waving cheerfully as she started away.

....then he went to the nearest food court ice cream shop and just about ate them out of business while resisting the urge to cry quietly to himself.
