Gardenia Park

"Oh, I'm on the hunt for clothes, accessories, maybe some fabric for my own projects and maybe a few things for my snookums. I'm sure there are a few things that I haven't listed that I would be keeping an eye out for." Stella answers with a large giddy expression. She really wanted to get something nice for Brandon's birthday, so now was a good excuse to look for it too. She takes two steps forward and stops for a moment to look at Sonya, "Is there something you'd be wanting to get while you're here?"

Sonya, who had kind of zoned out into her own thoughts for a moment, took a moment before looking back up towards Stella and shrugging with a face clear of any signs of inner turmoil. "Nothing specific. If I see something that speaks to me I might go for it."

"That reminds me. I need to get some more dresses, just in case, there is an formal event or something" Xanthe groaned, "Cause I heard Alfea is famous for their balls and such."

"Well the mall here has nearly everything for everyone." Stella muses to Sonya, hoping that it indeed did have something for her. At Xanthe's question, the blonde couldn't help but squeal slightly, "We should totally go shopping for formal wear, there is a school dance coming up in a month or so. Alfea has some of the best balls and parties outside of royal courts in the magic dimension."

Snow follows a few paces behind, but upon hearing the word party, she gulps. She hoped that what she had at school was good enough. She shakes her head to get rid of the thought, "Maybe I'll check out the bookstore if they have one*

"N...next month?" Xanthe stammered, then gulped.
Please don't make me sing, PLEASE??? she thought to herself.

"Well....it might actually be more like a month and a half." Stella answers more truthfully. "I just hope Faragonda gets some super cool entertainment for us."

"Yeah, i guess" Xanthe muttered to herself.

"You say something Xanthe?" Stella thought she heard the freshman speak, but wasn't sure.

"Yeah, I said that I agree" Xanthe replied, being caught off guard.

Stella looks back at the young student, seeing her reacting oddly. She just chalked it up to being with an upper class man, "You don't have to be so nervous if you want to share your opinion Xanthe. I'm not going to bite, burn or zap you."

"Sorry, but got taken off guard a bit" Xanthe returned, regaining posture.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you at all." Stella apologizes will looking guilty.

"It's alright, it happens, happens a lot" Xanthe lied, hoping again Stella brought the lie.

"Maybe there is some way to help you past being caught off guard." Stella says off hand, not even sure that was possible.

"Maybe" Xanthe replied.
At least it will buy me some time at least she thought.

"I'll help ya work on it some time later." Stella squeaks, really wanted to help her fellow student. She was about to speak further, but she stops mid stride at a set of doors. "Oh, we're here."

"We are?" Xanthe asked, staring at the building.

"Yup! This is it. that didn't take all that long!" Grasping the handle, Stella pulls open one of the doors, holding it open for the other three.

Without any reason not to, Sonya followed Stella into the building.

Snow slips through the door, not very familiar with a mall since there hadn't been on where she lived on Domino, nor was she aware of any being built there.
