When Eri, Sayumi, and Reina stepped inside the mall, Sayumi immediately made a run for her favorite accessory store.
"Hey Reina, do you want to go to the hat shack?" Eri asked, pointing to the store across from where the two were standing.
"Sure!" Reina replied, walking with Eri to the store.
The two were just about to walk into the store until two women were fighting up front.
"Listen Natsumi, I wasn't looking at Mari!" The tall woman with brownish hair argued. The shorter woman, or Natsumi, just shook her head.
"Yes you were, quit lying to me Maki." Natsumi replied in what was almost a whisper, and she went the direction where Eri and Reina were, bumping into Eri by accident. 'The woman didn't even bother to apolgize.' Eri thought.
Eri and Reina walked into the store and tried on random hats.
"I like this one." Reina picked out a purple visor that had a cat on it.
"Neko, Neko." Eri poked Reina's cheek. Reina giggled and blushed.
"Turtle, Turtle." Reina poked Eri's cheek. 'She's so funny when she's not lonely and cold. And she's so...cute.' Eri grinned at the thought and gazed into Reina's eyes.
"Um...Eri? Eri? Turtle?" Reina snapped her fingers. After a few seconds, Eri finally came to her senses.
"Oh! I'm going to try to find a hat with a turtle on it." Eri went to a different rack of hats. There were none, so she went back to Reina, who was paying for the hat.
"You're actually buying it?" Eri asked when she got up to the counter.
"Of course I would buy it." Reina replied, waiting for her cash. 'Same old Reina: cute, funny, and hilarious.' Eri smiled.
"I have something to tell you Eri." Reina said, taking Eri to a bench.
"What is it?" Eri asked, hoping that Reina would tell her anything.
"Um...." Reina fiddled with her thumbs. "I think I'm in love with you Eri." Eri's eyes grew big and wide. She was so shocked. But Eri couldn't reply because...
"Hey you guys! Let's go! There are some cute earrings that you guys must see!" Sayumi shouted, her voice echoing in the nearly quiet mall. Reina and Eri looked at each other and nodded, following Sayumi. But when the two got up, Eri replied,
"I love you too Reina."
