Shopping Can Be Both A Hassle And A Worthy Experience

With no time to waste, The Clockworks went forth with Nahida's shopping plan to purchase some clothing items. If they were to purchase whole costumes than they might have to sell a kidney to pay for it. Beyond tagged along to make sure that Nahida didn't overspend just on costumes.

Beyond and Kokomi needed to purchase some new strings for their instruments and Simon needed an extra pair of drumsticks. The band made their way into the mall nearby Santoro's Music Store. Carter has been to the mall once or twice in his lifetime, it would just be a hassle for his brother if he was brought along during every shopping trip. Mary, Joey's girlfriend sometimes take pity on him. Carter could feel the cooling air of the mall's air conditioning as soon as he set foot through it's entrance. His skin felt the cool air nipping at him, giving him goosebumps. He rubbed his shoulders to warm himself up.

'I should've worn long sleeves or a jacket', Carter thought to himself.
