:::She smerked:::
Well back home everything was very rigorously planned out... I was never really able to cut loose from it all. Now that I have though- there's so much time, I don't know what to do with it.

*grins, conspiratorially* Really? You have no ideas?
*squeezes her shoulder quickly* You made it here, didn't you?

*Luke called Max next. One the third ring, a groggy voice answered.* “What?”
“Hey, man. I wake you up?”
“Yeah…. Just. Give me a sec.”
*Luke does as requested.* “Wake your a** up. I’ve got a mission.”
“What-What’s going on?” *There was a banging sound and Max said.* “s**t.”
“My cousin, Cora, surprised me. She’s up from Canada for the weekend.”
*At that, Max becomes more awake.* “Oh yeah? That’s ********’ awesome! When did she get in?”
“Yeah I know! Earlier this afternoon.”
“That’s great. She just… surprised you? Just like that?”
“Yeah.”
“********, man. I need cousins who’ll do that for me. All my cousins are like ********’ eight years old. Want me to push them on the swing and s**t.”
*Luke laughed. He snuck a glance over at Cora.* “Well, I know she’d love to see you. Can you get down here?”
“Yeah, where you at?”
“I’m at Aimee’s dorm. We’re getting ready to go.”
“Where we going?”
“Well that’s the mission. Do you want to go clothes shopping with Aimee and Cora?”
“………No.”
“Yeah, me either. I need someone to come with me and shop around for a new grill for the frat house.”
“Oh, yeah. We gotta do that don’t we?”
“Yeah, that thing hasn’t worked right since Mike threw it off the second floor. I’m ********’ tired of ********' around with it. It’s time to cut our losses and get another one.”
“Alright.” *Max sounded like he was climbing to his feet.* “Aimee's dorm?"
"Yup."
"I can meet you guys over there in like fifteen minutes.”
“Sounds good. We’ll see you there.”
“Aight. Late."
“Later.”

:::She smiled:::
That's true. I guess I'm just trying to get some more ideas.
:::Cora couldn't really tell Aimee that if it weren't for Luke taking her out of her 'home' she would have seen the light of day but twice in her life. In fact, he doubled it. This made it number four:::

Well, The King of Prussia Mall is a good place to start.
*holds up her fingers* Four stories. Four hundred stores. It is any woman's complete shopping dream.

:::She assumed that to be an impressive statistic and she chuckled along:::
Certainly! Just uh... show me the way.
:::Cora was beginning to wonder if Luke had run away. She stretched her neck to look past Aimee at the door...:::

*Luke strolled back over, to find Cora looking over at him. He raised his eyebrows and looked to her and Aimee.* Max's is on his way. Though I think I woke him up from his afternoon nap.

*Aimee laughed a little.* Aw, poor guy. *She sidled up next to Cora.* All so you wouldn't have to be outnumbered by us females.

*grin* What can I say? It's tempting to be dragged around by you girls to all *echoes Aimee* four hundred stores. But I've got a reputation to keep.
*clears his throat in a manly way* Besides, we need to get a new grill for the frat house.
*Aimee, Luke, and Cora hung out in Aimee's dorm room, where she played a few of the newest, most popular songs for Cora - some of which Luke hadn't even heard. Within the next half hour, Max joined them and greeted Cora much like Aimee and Chuck had.*
*From there, the four of them piled into Luke's car and they drove to the King of Prussia Mall. Traffic was a little heavy and parking was a nightmare, but the present company didn't really seem to mind. They walked into the main entrance and into a large open area.*
*A huge water fountain is in the center of the mall, and above the water fountain can be seen four stories of stores and a myriad of people from all ages, races, and stations all with shopping bags, purses, or small children in tow.*
*Luke looks to Cora to see her reaction, grinning.*

:::As Cora stepped in her eyes opened further than they normally did to take in the site. It was so much like some of the places she'd seen in Omegatropolis, but so very much not at the same time:::
First of all, she'd never seen such a display of water before in her life... so much of it.... just splashing and bounding for no apparent purpose. People weren't bathing it it or drinking from it, they just sat around it as though it were just a specticle.
The floors were some strange stone formation, but polished the same way the metal floors of home used to be. Just as shiny, and just a little scuffed as though it were 4:00PM and the bots hadn't come for their third round of wiping.
The floors were open, and she could see them all moving around above her, that was new, so were all the colors, the fake trees, the real trees, and all the colorfully dressed and noisy people. There was also some hint of music in the background but it didn't seem like anyone was dancing.
All of this flooded to her in just moments:::

Voila! *Aimee opens her arms grandly and turns to Cora.* Let the shopping experience.... *brings her hands down* Begin.

*Luke looks to Max, and they exchange a shared "whatever" expression.*
*Max says to Aimee and Cora.* "Alright. We'll be at Sears."

*But Luke doesn't quite yet leave. When Aimee and Cora start to go their separate ways, he grabs Cora's shoulder.* Hey. Remember that money in your pocket? *When Cora nods, he says.* You're done guarding it. Go spend it on some clothes, okay?
