Me and Natsuki arrived outside a mega mall that wasn't exactly easy to explain the size of it.

However I was only there so I could get some clothes. Apparently the NWG thought I died as well and they took all of my clothes to discard evidence of me ever even existing.

However Natsuki kept a set of clothes for me in the laundry room. She wouldn't explain why though.

"Okay so I'm just gonna go in this store and grab some clothes." I said while looking at Natsuki.

Natsuki however, was too busy looking at a nearby pretzel shop.

"Natsuki.... Natsuki!" I said while snapping my finger.

"Gah uh what...?" Natsuki said surprised.

"What are you looking at?" I said.

"What...what are those?" Natsuki said while pointing at the shop.

"Those are pretzels, you can dip them in cheese and they're pretty good." I said.

"Can...can I get one?" She asked.

"Erm...sure." I said.

Me and Natsuki walked over to the small pretzel shop and Natsuki ordered some pretzel bites things.

She dipped the pretzel in cheese and plopped a pretzel bite into her mouth.

"They taste weird...but they're good." Natsuki said.

"Yeah, hey be careful. Pretzels are pretty messy when you eat them with cheese, especially when your standing."

"I'm being careful..." Natsuki said while squinting at me.

She dipped a pretzel bite into the cheese and put it near her mouth. Cheese dripped off of the pretzel and landed on her shirt.

"That's what I was talking about." I said while giggling a little.

"B-Be quite..." Natsuki said.

I grabbed a napkin and began to whipe Natsuki's shirt. I noticed that Natsuki stiffened up really bad.

"Are you okay?" I said.

"Y-Yeah...I've never had someone touch me there before..." Natsuki said.

That's when I noticed it. The cheese landed on Natsuki's shirt, right where her chest was.

"O-Oh sorry..." I said while nervously laughing.

"It's...it's okay..." Natsuki said.

I walked over to a trash can and threw away the napkin. I looked back at Natsuki to see that there was still a yellow spot on her shirt.

I took off my blue flannel and handed it to Natsuki.

"Here, wear this that way people don't see that stain." I said.

Natsuki slowly put my flannel on and began to button it. She eventually finished and I grabbed her hand.

Me and Natsuki walked into a small store that was in the mall. I bought some normal clothes for myself, such as some T-shirts, shorts, some pants, and some jackets.

"Guys wear some weird clothes." Natsuki said while we were standing in line.

"Yeah, I try to wear normal clothes mostly." I said.

"What's this?" Natsuki said while holding a small package.

I looked closely at the package and took it from Natsuki.

"That's something that you don't want to know about for a couple of years." I said while placing the package on a shelf that was higher than Natsuki.

"What? They looked like little balloons." Natsuki said.

The cashier rang up the rest of my items and I payed for them.

I walked out with all of the bags in my hand and Natsuki saw something else in the mall that amazed her.

"What's that?!" She said while pointing at a small machine.

"Oh that? That's a claw machine. You put two quarters in and you try and grab a stuffed animal with that claw there." I said while pointing at the machine.

"Woah...can I try it?" Natsuki asked.

"Sure." I said. I reached into my pocket and pulled out two small quarters. I handed them to Natsuki and she inserted them into the machine.

She was amazed as she moved the joy stick and tried to grab a small stuffed animal in the back.

The claw grabbed the animal from the head and carried it over to the exit chute. Right before it got there, the animal slipped through the claw and it dropped.

"Wh-what? I had that..." Natsuki said angered.

"Can I get a crack at it?" I said.

"Good luck..." Natsuki said.

I put two more quarters into the machine and grabbed the same stuffed animal that Natsuki tried to get.

The claw picked up the stuffed animal by the small paper tag on the back of it.

It slowly moved the animal over to the escape chute, and right before the claw dropped it, it landed in the chute.

"Hell yes!" I said.

I opened the door on the bottom of the machine and pulled out a small pink stuffed animal.

I lifted it up and fluffed the fur that was on it's head. I looked down at Natsuki and handed her the animal.

"Th-Thank you..." She said.

"No problem, everyday after school me and my friend Emma would play claw machines." I said. "So you can just call me the claw machine master."

"Okay, okay, I get it. You're the greatest." Natsuki said in a sarcastic voice.

I let out a little laugh and me and Natsuki walked down the mall. We approached a small fountain that threw water 10 feet in the air.

"Woah!" Natsuki said amazed.

"Yeah, New York has some cool sights to see." I said.

Natsuki watched as a girl held her hands together and threw a coin into the water.

"What's she doing?" Natsuki asked.

"Well it's kinda like a tradition. You see if you made a wish and then threw a coin into the water, there's a chance that your wish will come true." I said.

"Really?"

"Yep, you wanna make a wish?" I said.

"Yes."

I handed Natsuki a 50 Cent peace and she threw it into the water. After that she looked over at me.

"Aren't you gonna make a wish too?" She said.

"All of my wishes already came true." I said while smirking at Natsuki.

Natsuki let out a small giggle. I looked down at my watch to see that it was almost 7 at night.

"Well we might want to head back for dinner." I said.

"Yeah...I'm a little hungry." I said.

"Sorry for keeping you out so long."

"Oh no it's fine, I had a good time with you." Natsuki said.

"I did too."

Natsuki smiled at me, showing me one of her fangs.

Me and Natsuki held hands as we walked over to the exit until someone called out my name.

"SPENCER!" A woman called out.

I turned around to see a familiar face. That face belonged to a girl named Scarlett.

"Oh hey Scarlett, how have you been." I said.

"Good, good, I just wanted to apologize for what I did the other night." Scarlett said embarrassed.

Natsuki looked up at me a little jealous. I looked down at her.

"Don't worry Natsuki...we didn't do anything." I said while nervously laughing.

"Fortunately... because I have something I need to tell you..." Scarlett said.

"Oh yeah...what's that?" I said.

"Did you get that letter?"

"Yeah...there were baby pictures..."

"That... that's you..."

"What?"

"Those pictures are of you...and I am your mother..."

"My mother...?"
