"Shopping?" he asked inqisitively. He pondered the significance of this occasion, then perked up and proclaimed, "Sounds like fun! Where are we going to shop at?"
He glanced down at her hand and mentally restrained his hand from grabbing hers.
 
"G ame store" was all she said and smirked. Bre looked at Keeran and then ahead, at the front doors of the school. Beyond that was a busy street, and five blocks away, the shopping mall. "And don't feel like you need to pay me back or anything. Consider it a new friendship gift. Okay?"​
 
"Wow..." he whispered... A friend! He wanted to pick her up and hug her, but that wasn't appropriate... She'd surely object. They weren't even dating yet!
Yet...
"So, um..." he was a little embarrassed at having to ask this, "How exactly do you play your video games? All we had back in my village were the oldest of old video games. I think one of them was called Pong? I played it over at Verruk's house one time! His mom was really cool, it used a... what's it called? Joystick! A joystick!"
 
"A controller. I'll show you when we come back." She laughed at his excitement and practically pulled him across the busy street. "You never want to get caught at that street, they'll never stop for you. And they probably won't stop if they hit you either." That last part, she joked around about, anyone could tell because she was laughing. "So, how many games are you going to pick out?"​
 
He stared in horror at the lurching, foul-smelling vehicles that sped back and forth across that dark paved road. "I get to pick out more than one?" he asked, hardly able to believe that anyone could be so kind... that anyone would be able to get several games. "Um... I don't know?" he pondered, thinking at a mile a minute, "Two or three?"
Even one was like a king's ransom to him... but three? This beautiful girl was some sort of savior!
 
"You can get up to five. I've got to keep money in my pocket, otherwise my parents say I spend too much of my time on the games and music." Bre laughed again, mimicking her parents' voice at that last part. Her parents were cool, but to an exstent. "Have any other questions about anything else?"​
 
Bre nodded, and kept walking. "If you can keep up that is. Otherwise it's just me and the mall, and no video game buying!" She skipped a block, two remaining. The weather was nice, sunny, perfect for being outside, but odd enough, there was barely anyone outside other than being in their cars. "I wonder why no-one is outside on a nice day like this."​
 
He jogged to catch up, looking at the sky and at the nearly empty streets. "I don't know. It's really warm for the middle of winter, must be nearly sixty-three degrees... no, sixty-four," he said, biting his bottom lip as he calculated the temperature in his mind. "Yeah, sixty-four."
He sighed, "Weather like this always made me want to have someone to hold hands with."

(He's about as subtle as a brick wall, no? :3 )
 
[[ Sorry, went off for the night to get some rest. ^_^ ]]

Bre looked at him and smiled, then looked at the sky. "On weather like this, I like to wear these shorts and a skimpy top. But I don't think that this occasion, going to the mall I mean, calls for such a ridiculous and outrageous outfit. Do you?" She stopped and turned to Keeran, holding her hands together in a fist in front of her mouth. She was always a weird one, not crazy, just unique in her own way. Bre didn't like to follow anyone, she made her own guideline to life, she played by her own rules, unless of course, life was a video game, then she'd have to play by the creators rules, but life isn't a video game, now is it?​
 
He shook his head and eagerly exclaimed, "I think this would be the perfect occasion for skimpy shorts and a top!"
He quickly decided to add some more reasoning to this line of thought, "I mean, we could go to the park after the mall and fly kites or something? I could make us a couple to fly."
 
Bre shook her head and shrugged. "I think I want to go back to the dorm after this and test out some games. I could show you a really good RPG I picked up back in March of last year." She smiled and tucked her hands in her pockets, approaching the last block before the mall. "Any idea of what kind of snacks we should get too for the game night?" Bre's pink hair was flowing in the wind, as she smiled, looking forward. Her thumbs stuck out of her pockets, as they wiggled. Her nose scrunched up and she started fixing her shoulders under her jacket.​
 
"Some barbecue chips, some pocky... maybe some store-brand cupcakes?"
He found himself fascinated by her scrunching nose, fighting the urge to kiss her right then and there. Don't be a creepy bastard, Keeran. You gotta wait at least until tomorrow for that. Girls don't like it when guys kiss them on the first date... first non-date, in this case.
"Some Diet Coke. I can't drink the regular stuff, it tastes too dang sweet," he paused and smiled a bit and shrugged, "Unless we can get some hard liquor and ice to mix it with. Then it tastes just fine."
 
Bre laughed and continued walking. "Diet coke for you, Pepsi for me, Doritos, Salsa with tortilla chips, Pocky, and we have to get white cheddar popcorn." She ran the rest of the way to the mall, for her it was taking too long to get there. She clutched her wallet in her pocket to make sure it was still there and hadn't fallen out. "Come on Keeran! Unless you want me to leave you!" She called to him, opening the door to the mall entrance.​
 
After a moment of hesitation he smiled, deciding to impress his new roommate a little. Channeling twin ropes of ectoplasm into the air, he swirled them about his feet and solidified them into a covering for each of his shoes, crafted so that the bottoms of the shoes were covered in ball bearings. The whole process took about fifteen seconds, and about five seconds after they were done he was effortlessly skating past Bre, waving at her over his shoulder.
 
"You're getting ahead of me and you don't even know where the game store is!" Bre called, running to the escalator, figuring that it'd be faster than the stairs, but instead of waiting for it to tote her to the top, she ran the whole way up. Bre ran straight and turned right at the corner, ran and made a sharp left. There, she went up a small flight of stairs, and made a right, waiting for Keeran to spot her bright pink hair.​
 
He hit the escalator and dismissed the semi-opaque simple machine from around his ankles and ran up the rising stairs. His gangly body was an impressive sight, his long arms and legs were an uncoordinated mess that went all over the place, but his body maintained a steady forward-direction. He arrived next to her, slightly winded by the rush but otherwise fine. 'Alright! Ready to get some games!' he proclaimed, stadying his breathing to sound like hew as not, in fact, winded and became light-headed as a result.
 
Bre crossed her arms, and her right leg under her left, giggling at Keeran. "Yeah, you're definitely not an extreme gamer. That was a small obstacle course for me. You'll get used to it when you start running to game stores awaiting an opening day if you want to camp out over night and get a good spot." She laughed a little and uncrossed her arms and legs, motioning with her left arm to enter the store. The clerks there knew her by name, she was the Konata of reality to them, her game cards were all "A" game cards, meaning she was a frequent and heavy buyer. "Hey Zues, Jacob, I want you to meet Keeran. He's interested in..." she looked from side to side and cupped her mouth with her hands, whispering gently, "Hentai games." Her eyes lit up, like she was proud to be an accomplice to something that Keerans' parents would disown him for. Then she continued, "these will be his first actual REAL games. He's still stuck on PONG!" The clerks laughed and nodded, opened a curtain to an entire gallery of Hentai games. "Knock yourself out Keeran. I'll be waiting."​
 
Keeran flushed grape-purple, staring at the doorway as if it led to some eldritch and unthinkable horror that man was not meant to what of. "Um..." he began, mind churning out words which then had to take a long detour to his mouth due to the main road being blocked by extreme embarassment, "Would you mind helping me choose? I've... I've never seen much hentai, and... well, all I know is there's some very weird stuff in that category that I'd like to avoid, and I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference between the weird stuff and the normal..."
He was staring at the floor, shuffling his feet nervously and shrugging occasionally.
 
"Ask one of the clerks. I don't mess with that stuff." She blushed and giggled, placing her right hand over her mouth. Bre never was one to watch Hentai, nor play Hentai games, much less porn. She looked around the store, looking for any games she might not have. "No new orders in huh Jacob?" she called out, sitting on the floor, reading a bunch of game stories on the back of the boxes.​
 
With the help of a clerk, he chose out three titles to play. One was a lolicon game (he didn't know what that meant, but the teenage girl on the cover was a cute one so he chose it), another was a mystery-solving game that was a parody of a popular DS game involving attorneys, the other was a 3D game with little discernable plot, but with the feature to customize the girls in the game to your liking. "I found some that looked interesting, Bre," he announced as he walked over to her. He was starting to sound more comfortable with her nickname she told him to use
 
Bre stood up and grabbed the three, shrugging a bit. "Not my taste, but it's what makes you happy!" She smiled, and took the games to the counter, the clerk ringing them up. "Your total comes out to 135.95." Bre smiled and pulled out her wallet, handing the man three fifty dollar bills and her game card. "Make me an A+ this time pleaseee!" The clerk laughed and sighed, "Sorry Bre, you didn't earn enough. You're twenty dollars short." Bre clicked her tongue and sighed, shaking her head. "I suppose when a new release comes out, I'll be an A+ game nerd." Jacob laughed at her and handed her card back ontop of her change. "Come on Keeran! FOOD!"​
 
Keeran quickly grabbed the bag of games from the counter. Before he realized what he'd done, he kissed his new roommate on the cheek and exclaimed, "Thanks Bre!"
He quickly realized what he'd done and looked at the floor in embarrassment. "Yeah..." he murmured, "Let's go get some food..."
 
Bre had a small blush across her face and she turned away from the counter. "Uh huh.." she said and ran to the bottom floor of the mall. She didn't say a word to Keeran, because she knew he had no problem catching up. All the while she was just thinking, what on Earth is going on lately? First the robo boy back at school, and now Keeran? She wondered how long this would go on for.​
