Allen's POV
I held Wendy's hand and pulled her into a sweet shop.
I let go of it and ran towards the Chocolate bars with Dads face on them and grabbed a handful.
"Not too much sugar Allen!" Wendy scolded and I pouted. "We're shopping for what you're smuggling into the academy not planning to own a sweet shop"
"But sisteer~ daddy's face is on them"
"Hmp two of each"
I begrudgingly returned some and started grabbing two in pairs.
I came across a mega large soda with Astral girls face on it and glared hard freezing the soda within till it burst startling a few customers.
"Heh must have been left in there for a long time" Wendy muttered and dragged me to the counter to pay for the sweets I both.
I traced my finger on the special lining on her pink purse till something caught my eye. A girl she looked my age and was staring at the shop like it was the first time she saw things like this.
She snatched up a candy bar and was about to walk away when a man gripped her wrist.
"Look a little thief are you planning on paying for that?" He asked attracting other customers and the cashier.
"L-l-let go!" she struggled against his grip but he shook her around like a rag doll.
"Tsk isn't security supposed to stop people like this from entering and disturbing the customers"
"Does this shop let anyone in?"
Tsk such a nosey person.
The girls eyes where Misty as she fought against his grip and some customers around started gossiping.
The cashier panicked and tried to grab the Snicker bar out of her hands and she burst out crying then bit the man holding her and ran she bumped into Wendey causing her to drop her purse and curse.
I looked towards the direction the girl ran to and grabbed two bars form our cart that had been paid for and slipped off when Wendy was trying to get her things.
***
I followed the girl till we reached a secluded section of the mall that was dimly lit.
It was obvious shoppers didn't or rarely came here. She went into a small shop that had a few knick knacks on display and I followed.
Once I entire the pungent smell of cheap lavender perfume smelt.
I caught a lady glaring at the girl while the girl cupped her cheek and looked at the floor. As though noticing the arrival of a customer she smiled and walked towards me.
"Hello there welcome to Chrissy's Antic shop what can I get this adorable young master today"
Young Master?
Then it clicked. It must be my clothes Wendy makes sure I have everything that's in style.
I looked around the shop and found really cheap and fake items the only decent thing here was...forget it it looks ugly.
I walked towards an old wooden box with small stars carved in and traced it.
"What's this"
"A music box... I thought I threw that out" she mumbled the last piece to herself.
"How much?"
"fifty dollars" she smiled.
Even I knew this was a rip off.
I dug through my pockets and brought out a bunch crumbled up notes and handed it to her.
Her eyes shone with greed and I rolled my eyes.
"Can I have it cleaned?"
She nodded almost immediately and snatched it running off to find something to wipe it with.
I looked at the purple haired girl who was just rearranging some knick knacks and walked towards her tapping her shoulder.
She jumped and stared at me frightened.
"Here I saw you at the shop"I passed the two bars of Snickers I took to her and she clutched it looking at me puzzled but then blushed.
"T-thank you"
I nodded and walked out leaving the music box behind.
I dug my hands into my pocket and tilted my head.
"Is that what doing a good dead feels like?"
"Rather dumb" I hummed and walked back to where I left my sister and received an earful from her.
