"Hello, Suzanne?"  A voice says.

"Yes, that's me.  Who is this?"  I ask

"Oh it's Shena.  I was just wondering if I could come over to the studio, then we could go shopping afterwards."  Shena says.

"That's cool with me.  You want me to drive my mustang, or are you going to drive?"  I ask

Shena says, "Let's take your mustang, always get a lot of looks from the guys that way."

"OK, see you in a while."  I say "Bye."

"Bye."  She says.

I hang up the phone and walk into the front of the studio.  It feels kind of cold so I'm walking around looking for something to put over me.  Just now, AJ walks in.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?  You look lost."  He asks

"Oh, I'm not lost.  I'm looking for a jacket, I'm getting cold."  I say

"Who needs a jacket when you've got my arms to keep you warm?"  AJ says walking over to and putting his arms around me.  Just then Shena walks in.

"Hey, girl!" she calls to me.

"Hey!" I reply and walkover to her. AJ still holding me.

"You ready?" Shena asks.

"Yes. I just gotta go get Sarah" I say

"Where are you going?" AJ asks me.

"Shopping," I tell him.

"Oh. Can I go?" he asks.

"No. This is sort of a..let's say girl's night out." I say

AJ frowns, but says: " OK."

"OK. I'll be back in a sec." I walk off to find Sarah.  I find her and Brian standing in the middle of a room, kissing.

"Come on, Sarah. We're going shopping," I say, tugging her away from Brian.

"We are?" she replies.

"Yes."

"I'll call you later, babe," she says to Brian.

"No. Don't leave me," he says.

"Sorry, going shopping! I love you." She kissed her fingers and then touched his lips.

"OK. Enough with the weird, mushy stuff!" I say with a grin. " Say good-bye. And let's go."

"Bye," Sarah says.  We meet Shena, who is talking to Kevin. I say bye to AJ, give him a kiss, and we leave.
 

"Hmm...let's go to the GAP," I say.

"OK!" they both say.  So we go to the GAP first. We shop around for a while, when I come across a short, black, sleeveless dress.

"Hey, Sarah, I think I'm gonna buy this dress and wear it when I go out with AJ tomorrow night," I tell Sarah.

She nods. " His eyes will probably pop out. He'll love it. Buy it."

I laugh. " OK."

"There's only one thing that worries me about that dress."  Shena says

"What's that???"  Sarah and I both ask.

"I don't know how you'll ever get AJ off of you."  Shena says with a smile.  I take off the dress and put it back on the hanger.  I walk up to the counter and pay for the dress; then I join Shena and Sarah outside.

"Now we have to find the perfect shoes for that dress.  You need something to make your legs look long."  Sarah says

"But you don't want something too tall, cause then you'll make AJ feel short."  Shena adds

"If you knew AJ like I do, you'd know that she won't be standing for long once he sees her in that dress."  Sarah says with a smile.

"Hello???  Can we go get the shoes, or are we going to stand here and talk about how my boyfriends going to jump on me?"  I ask.  We finally go to JCPenny's to look at shoes for the dress.  There is a lot of really nice shoes, but I find a pair of black suede heals that I know would look perfect with the dress.
 

"I think we need to go to Victoria's Secret.  I need to get some black pantyhose to wear with the dress."  I say
"Cool, I need to get a friend a gift while I'm there too."  Sarah says with a smile.
I check out, but I don't see what Sarah gets.

We finally get done and decide to go get something, for us and the guys, to eat at McDonalds.  We order all the food, which makes us look like pigs.  Since we're buying food for eight people and there's only three of us.

We walk in with shopping bags, and McDonalds bags.

"MCDONALDS!!!"  the guys yell as they run over to us and grab the bags.  We all spread out around the studio, eating in different places.  AJ, Brian, Sarah, and I are talking to each other; while everyone else has their own conversations on the other side of the studio.

"So did you girls have fun shopping?"  Brian asks us

Sarah and I both reply, "Yeah."

AJ grabs my bag and asks, "What did you buy?"

 I grab the bag back and say, "That's my secret, thank you very much.  You'll find out tomorrow night, when we go on our date."

"I'll give you a hint about it though, once you see her in it, you'll be in love."  Sarah says with a smile.

"I'm already in love."  AJ says
