Ever since Ralph had gotten most of his memory back, he had been in a very good mood, which was a drastic change from the Ralph Rene had known well. "It's because he's happy,"Amber had told Rene."His memory's back. He can finally remember himself now." Rene had noticed a bery new attitude from Ralph towards her. He seemed to find her more annoying and aggrivating. "Well, give him some time,"Amber had suggested. So Rene had done just that. It was the last week of January(a thursday) and Rene had suggested she and ralph go shopping together. "Sure,"Ralph said, putting on a coat to protect himself from the frigid cold outside. Ten minutes later, Ralph and Rene walked into Dunelian Mall. It was unlike a lot of normal malls. Inside, there were tons of shops and games. However, there were three different floors, each floor up being more adult oriented than the last, which meant the third floor required identification for confirmation of age(you had to be eighteen to be on the third floor). Of course, with the restrictions came trouble. Many young teens around the age of fifteen and sixteen always tried to get on the third floor, but security was so tight on it that they were immediatly found and escorted out. Rene and Ralph planned to stay on the first and second floors. "So, what are we doing here?"Ralph asked. "Shopping,"Rene said, looking at the different shops, a purse on her shoulder. She walked ahead of Ralph, leading the way. "Shopping for what?"Ralph muttered. "Just shopping. You've never done that?" "No." Rene gasped. "You are so deprived!"she squealed and she grabbed his hand and pulled him into a clothes store. Rene immediatly went to work grabbing clothes and forcing Ralph to try them on. "That looks good on you!"Rene said happily, as Ralph glared at her. She had just forced him into jeams three sizes too big so his boxers were showing and had just told him to try on a hot pink shirt with a sword on it. "Are you serious?"Ralph asked. "No,"Rene giggled and she let Ralph browse the aisles of clothing. "Oooh, this is cute...and this...and this...I MUST have this..." "Rene, are you really getting all that?"Ralph asked her as she put all of her selected clothes in front of the cashier, who, reluctantly, began scanning. "Of course, silly,"Rene said, smiling at Ralph. Twenty minutes later, they left the store, Rene holding bags and bags of their newly purchased clothes. "Wow, this is kinda-" Ralph stared at the person across the mall. He knew that person. It was... "That's Daniel!"Ralph said, going into a sprint across the mall after Daniel. He was squeezing his way through people wildly, even almost knocking some poor old lady down. "Watch where you're going, hooligan!"the lady yelled. Ralph ignored her. He saw Daniel with other people her recognized. His family was only fifty feet away. He sped up rapidly, almost bowling over a small child in his haste. He was so close to them... Suddenly, a large crowd of people stepped in his way. He was forced to stop in his tracks. "No..."Ralph muttered, watching Daniel and everyone else leaving. Then his heat leapt. Daniel had looked back and seen him. Ralph saw his eyes go wide in shock and he hurried up to tell MIchael. "Did you catch them?"Rene asked five minutes later when Ralph found her. "No...they left before I could find them in the parking lot,"Ralph sighed. "I'm sorry,"Rene said. "It's not your fault." "Yeah, but still...that's sad. Don't worry, they'll look for you, I'm sure." Rene smiled at Ralph and he returned it.
