Arthur and Zoey started running frantically through the mall, right after leaving the restaurant without even paying. The women were following him like crazed zombies. They barely managed to outrun them and hid behind a corner. Zoey panted heavily. Once again she had to make so much effort, pushing her body to the farthest limits.
"Oh hey, whatcha doing there?"
Arthur turned around, startled. It was just Tomo!
- Oh god, Tomo, don't scare me like that!
- Well sorry, but you send me to grab some clothes for your sister, so I'm at the mall. Why are you here.
- Skipping school to have so good lunch...
- Wowh, didn't think you would do that. I guess I'm the right girlfriend for you then.
- Anyway, what are you hiding from?
- Well, security guards. One of them caught me shoplifting.
- I knew you would do that!
- You do know me after all! And you, what are you hiding from?
- There's been a random attraction epidemic at the restaurant I think, and now those women are like crazy about me or something...
- Random attraction? Well I wouldn't want one of them to steal you from me. Let's go!
Arthur and Zoey followed Tomo through shortcuts that only Tomo knew, and they managed to go out of the mall unnoticed.
- Well, anyway Zoey, here's your clothes. Have fun with them. See ya.
- What? That's it? I... I'm not done with you Tomo! Said Zoey in a not really frightening voice.
- Ugh... What more do you want from me? I know I promised I would do anything you ask, but you ask for so boring things...
- Okay then, you will ride us home with the bike!
- Really? Isn't this supposed to be your punishment?
Arthur realized that Zoey is probably going to pass out before they reached home, so he said:
- Yeah Tomo, ride us home please. It'll be good for your legs.
- Ugh! Fine... But it's so stupid...
And thus, Tomo climbed on the bike and drove Arthur and Zoey to their place. Zoey, feeling proud in the backseat with her brother, asked him:
"So... Does that mean I kept my promise? And that you will keep yours...?"
It wasn't night yet, but he felt like Zoey had done enough. Maybe be a bit nicer to her now? He also had to plan the party for tonight too...
