Quinn, Xavier, Wolfgang and Koichi left Cuter Computer, with the three boys carrying most of the hardware.
'Great! Why did I have to pay nearly a hundred dollars for a share of Quinn's stuff?' Xavier wondered. He saw that the three of them had paid for just over half of the price of the computer equipment. 'I hope she pays it back...'
“Right, the Walmart should be in C Orange Four,” Quinn stated as they started moving away from the store.
“That doesn't sound right,” Wolfgang objected.
“Oh?” Quinn asked.
“It was something else,” Xavier said as he thought.
“I think it was B Amber Five,” Wolfgang said.
“Or was it D Tangerine Three?” Koichi added.
“One of them. Look for that general shade of color, then for the number,” Quinn said.
“I think the shade of color is multiple floor spanning,” Koichi said.
“Then we will look for the numeral and then the shade of color,” Quinn said.
“That will work,” Xavier said.
As they left the vicinity of Cuter Computer they didn't notice the Fashion Club coming out of Angejarni in the other direction.
Guy exited the fashion label store carrying all of the Fashion Club's purchases (although he had noticed that Stacy had bought the least stuff). 'Why can't they carry their stuff themselves?' he asked himself.
“Where are we going now?” Tori asked.
“I'm sure there are other label stores here, Let's look for them,” Sandi said.
“Suurrre,” Tiffany said.
“Okay!” Stacy said.
“A great idea, Sandi,” Tori said.
“Absolutely,” Sandi said.
Daria, Jennifer and Jane met Mack as they left the bookstore.
“I thought I would see if there is a large business section,” he said.
“And you got the coupon,” Jane said.
“There's that too,” Mack said.
“I didn't see any, but then I only looked at the fiction, history, music and philosophy sections,” Daria said.
“Oh,” Mack said.
“There is one there; I found it as I looked at the Computer section,” Jennifer said quietly.
“Thanks,” Mack said.
Jennifer gave a small smile.
'Of course,' Daria thought.
“Let's find Scissor World,” Jane suggested.
“Sure,” Jennifer said.
“See ya,” Mack said as he went into the bookstore. Jennifer waved.
They soon found said store, and found that it was a hair salon.
“This is unexpected,” Jane said.
Jennifer walked up to the counter.
“You got here just in time,” one of the hairdressers said. She looked at Jane and Daria “You're almost in time.”
“I have this coupon,” Jennifer said, shyly as the hair dresser started leading her to a chair. “But I just wanted a pair of scissors,” she objected.
“We don't sell scissors, we cut hair. Which show?”
“What?” Jennifer asked, slightly confused and starting to back out. 'This isn't good,' she thought. She wanted out of the situation.
“Which TV show do you want your style from? Most of our clients go for a sitcom. Personally, I think you would look good without your hair over your face.”
“Um, I like my hair the way it is!” Jennifer said. 'I don't want a cut here, in an unfamiliar place!' she thought.
“Keep your scissors away from her hair,” Daria said.
'Thanks, Daria.”
“She means it,” Jane said.
“I could just style it. Choose a show and I will style it that way.”
“Have you heard of Sick Sad World?” Jane asked.
Jennifer frowned. 'Not a good idea, Jane!'
The hairdresser frowned. “I saw an episode once. It was just too weird!”
“That was scary. Although it was nice of her to exchange the coupon for cash,” Jennifer said after they had left Scissor Wizard.
“My stomach is grumbling. Let's participate in the food court traffic pattern,” Daria said.
“Sure,” Jennifer said.
“Sure, then afterwards we can find out what a Doo Dad is!” Jane said.
“Certainly,” Jennifer said.
Daria's stomach grumbled loudly.
With Wolfgang pushing a Walmart trolley full of computer equipment, Quinn and her friends approached one of the food courts for lunch. “How many outlets are there?” Xavier asked.
“Too many,” Koichi said.
“Not sure,” Quinn said.
Daria, Jane and Jennifer went to the end of a line in front of a take away pizza outlet.
'Wait a minute, that short-haired redhead looks familiar,' Jennifer thought. She quickly tapped said redhead on the shoulder...
Quinn felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She quickly turned around to find Jennifer, with Daria and Jane standing behind her. “Uh, oh.”
“Well. What an unexpected opportunity for sibling bonding,” Daria said.
“I'm going to be sick,” Quinn said.
“Is that, like, a family thing?” Jane asked.
“What's that, Quinn?” Wolfgang asked.
“It's my sister and her friends.”
“Oh, the sophomore Economics class field trip,” Xavier said.
“You knew about this?” Quinn asked.
“Yeah, sorry,” Xavier said sheepishly.
Quinn turned back to Daria and her friends.
“Sorry,” Jennifer said.
Quinn gave her a smile, showing that she had no hard feelings towards her.
“I'm sure Mom and Dad will be really pleased to hear I ran into you. Here at the mall. On this lovely school day!” Daria said flatly.
“State your terms, Daria,”
“It's weird. The only thing I can think of is more of our download allowance,” Daria said.
“You wouldn't!” Quinn said.
Daria smirked.
“You would.”
“There is an alternative,” Daria said.
Quinn sighed. “What is this alternative?”
“I wouldn't mind taking it easy around the house for a month,” Daria said.
“That seems a bit exorbitant,” Jennifer murmured.
“It does, doesn't it. A month, Daria?”
“Or you can just never set foot inside a mall for the rest of your sorry adolescent life. And a ride back to the Suburban hell known as Lawndale would be appreciated too,” Daria said.
“Oh really?” Quinn asked.
“Uh, oh,” Jennifer said, backing off. Jane, Xavier, Wolfgang and Koichi backed off also as the Morgendorffers began to argue about their deal for never mentioning the trip to the Mall of the Millennium at home...
