"Maybe you want to take these guys to the Mall?" asked Logan, seeing his stressed sister working on her homework.

Sammi let out a long sigh, biting down hard on her bottom lip. "And why should I? Can't you take them?"

"Because you also need a break. Look, I know finding something about the amulet is very important for you, but come on, you need to relax at times."

She ripped her blue eyes from the thick book in front of her and stared at her older brother. She hadn't noticed how much he matured ever since leaving Minnesota; maybe because she was always busy with her academics and he with his career. It pained her to know that soon, he would leave her to have his own life, to have his own family.

Sammi felt a lump in her throat and she did her best to not choke on it. "I, um…ok, sure. If it'll make you happy."

Logan flashed his brilliant set of perfect teeth. "Cool. I'll drive you guys. Help them dress up, will ya?"


"Where the hell are we?" asked Lionblaze, clearly annoyed.

Sammi smiled politely, trying hard not to snap at the blonde. "We're at the mall! This place contains all Twolegs necessary needs such as clothes, foods, games, and other stuff."

Hollyleaf's green eyes brightened. "Wait, isn't this the place that Katie talked about?"

Katie Knight seemed to quickly and easily capture Hollyleaf's interest and the two stuck together like bubblegum. It was plain to see the two were now considered "best friends."

"Yup! So let me show you around." Sammi started to walk away from the entrance and soon, the Warrior Cats followed.

Jayfeather was rather quiet this whole time, and you could tell he didn't want to be talked to. He kept shooting icy blue eyes to whoever made eye contact with him, leaving dread showering their heart.

The first den, or as Sammi called it "store," was called Abercrombie & Fitch. The smell was overwhelming inside, making Lionblaze and Jayfeather gag while their sister and Sammi hovered over some pelts, or "clothing."

"Oh for the love of StarClan, I'm going outside before I die from this wretched scent!" growled Jayfeather before storming out of there.

Sammi snapped from her trance over a cute tank top and looked back at where the blue eye cat stood now. Lionblaze had nodded and joined his brother while Hollyleaf was still gawking over the clothing.

"Hey, um, Holly," said Sammi, giving the raven headed girl a new nickname, "If you want, I'll show your brothers around while you stay here."

"Mhm? Oh, that would be fine! I promise I won't go anywhere. But I'll need 'money' to get at least some stuff. So…"

Sammi felt irritated, seeing Katie had already taught her about money. "Fine, but you owe me back."

After giving the money to her, Sammi resumed her tour, pointing out the most popular ones that might interest the boys. Once Sammi had introduced Game Stop to them, Lionblaze suddenly stormed in there and started to shout at games such as Call of Duty, Defiance, Injustice, etc.

"I suppose you don't want to stay here?" breathed Sammi, watching Jayfeather observe his brother.

"Yeah…I'll be outside." with that, the cat turned around and left…again.

Sammi gave some money to Lionblaze before meeting up with Jayfeather. He seemed more at ease now that it was the two of them. Somehow, that made her feel the opposite.


Jayfeather couldn't stop the rapid beating of his heart. Everytime he glanced at the female Twoleg, it would start hammering against his chest and scream at him to talk to her. Why would he? There was absolutely nothing to talk about with her!

"Hey, are you ok?" asked Sammi, breaking his thoughts.

Jayfeather sighed before looking at her.

Thump, thump, thump! There it goes again.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just want to go home and I just have too much confidence in that stupid stone." he grumbled.

"But you did hear the voices. Maybe if we find what makes them 'whole,' they'll take you home."

He laughed, but it was bitter. "Yeah, and hedgehogs can fly."

The girl scrunched her nose in confusion, but before she could shower him with questions and insults, he waved her off.

They were at Build A Bear Workshop and Jayfeather was starting to hate it much more than Game Stop and Abercrombie. Young kits squealed, screamed, and shouted everywhere, fighting over articles of clothing, stuffing, and the computers. The parents looked tired and annoyed as if they've been here since the break of dawn.

"Why are we here again?" he asked, gritting his teeth as he spotted a kit picking his nose.

"I just want to get a bear; my old one was worn out after fifteen years and I guess without it, I feel alone in bed."

"Bear? What the hell are you talking about?"

"God, you'll see."

She led him to a shelf that hovered over large containers full of pelts. Each one held a different color and shape. Sammi took her time, trying to find a good one while Jayfeather attempted to drown out the kits' noises by humming a tune. After what seemed like eternity, she pulled a white pelt out and stared at it.

"This'll do it." she said, already walking towards a large Monster-like creature.

Jayfeather bristled, keeping his distance while she took a large tube and paced in the pelt. After clicking something on the monster, the pelt started to grow and take shape. It came out as an adorable bear.


Sorry once more for the late update. School's been killing me and I have been falling under depression again. I might discontinue this story; I lost interest and I have no idea were it's going. Help out please? I'm also writing more stories for this fandom and others. Thanks guys~
