<sub>Eric leaned against a pole outside, it was mid-day, warm, and very sunny. It made him happy to be outside in good weather, it was much better then winter, but he admited it was a little humid, he sighed and walked over to the mall, opening a door and stepping inside he could see many people outside, he looked at the walls, they had posters about many of the bands in the When We where Young tour, he sighed, his band had not sudmitted a poster yet, so he was not on the walls, he smiled when he saw his favourite store, running towards it but he stopped before the entrence and walked away from the store, instead he choose to walk around to see what other stores where here, and if he would like any, as he walked he saw a stand with pictures of band members on t-shirts including him, he stepped forward taking a t-shirt of himself, he walked over to a women who seemed to work at the stand 'Pardon me, but where did you get this picture of me?" Eric asked "Sir we took the picture" she said turning toward him, she was shalked by him standing there "I didn't sign a form for this you know" he said shaking his head, he gave the t-shirt to her and bought it, she placed it in a bag, and he started to walk away.

Forcing herself out of the small music store located within the center of the mall, Suki yawned quietly, hands shoved into the depths of her short pockets. Licking her lips slowly, she glanced around in interest at the area she'd just stumbled into. Her main aim of the day had to literally escape the clutches of fixing what ever had been broken once more, seeing as it was indeed starting to become extremely irritating. She rolled her eyes in the simple thought of this and literally walked in no particular direction, oceanic blue eyes wandering around the area for nothing truly. Although, each area she passed seemed all the more unfamiliar, seeing as she'd never entered a mall before. Odd as it may have sounded, she'd just never took to such a socialized area. Just hearing a small child begin to squeal into tears caused her to cringe, frowning. Maybe that was only one reason why she avoided places like this.

Trying to ignore the toddler's screeches, she soon noticed a small shirt stall that caught her attention instantly. Yet, noticing the familiar faces scattered along a few of them caused her to sigh, feet gently making barely any noise as she wandered over in slight interest. In a simply bold font, she noticed the title Keep it Caroline printed along one of the shirts, a weak smile forming as she glanced at it. Despite not being known to the public eye herself, she had to admit she felt proud in a sense to see such a thing. Though, noticing the drummer seemed to be irrelevant from this particular shirt caused her to pull a face of disbelief. The one person who cherished the object she cared for was missing. "Oh god darn it" She grumbled , going to grab the shirt before noticing the darkening gaze of the young woman who seemed to own the stall on her.

Suki's eyes widened as she backed away, not wishing to cause to much trouble. Yet, the woman's gaze narrowed to an extent that it caused Suki to turn and break into a small run, only to slam directly into the body of who ever had been in front of her. Her gaze snapped wide as she stumbled back, rubbing her nose in pain. "F-fuck ow" she exclaimed, her Australian accent pretty rough as she slowly glanced up apologetically toward the stranger. "...Oops?"

<sub>Eric stumbled forward a step when someone stumbled into him, he turned to face the person, a girl "You'd better be careful there he said, he had come all this way to California to loose his dekota accent, but it was still there "Did the girl scare ye, she gets on my nerves two, lookey here, she got this t-shirt of me when I didn't sign a form for it" Eric said taking out the t-shirt of him on the bottum it said Yesterday's Grey, and his name Eric Lee, along with a picture of him playing the guitar on a stage, he turned it so she could see the back it said 'When You Were Young Tour' on it Ye play in a band to don't ye" he asked her, she seemed familiar, he looked down at the floor, "Oh yes your from keep it caroline, right? he asked her, it could have been a different band but he didn't know, it was just a wild guess, he placed his t-shirt back into his bag, he sighed, looking back at the stand, the women starred at them before turning around, he'd have to send her a strong letter later, he did not sign a form to take that picture.

Suki's brow shot up in question as she adjusted her stance to a more relaxed one, not wishing to seem as foolish as her previous movement. She couldn't help but flash him a lop sided grin as he mention over the young woman serving the items in the stall, her hands diving within her pockets once more to highlight her relaxed appearance. "Nah...she just...looks a little rough" She murmured in defense, but her smile proved to the world she was indeed lieng. Of course the woman freaked her out - her murderous gaze wasn't to sane to look at! But, Suki's attention was drawn to the shirt as she tilted her head, loose curls escaping around her thin set face. Yesterday's Grey was printed upon the shirt, and it took her by shock to notice the young man in front of her was indeed the Eric Lee from such a band. Plus, just realizing that he also knew her caused her heart to sore some what. The technicians where known!

"It is illegal for her to publish that shirt" She nodded in agreement, frowning at the fact this merchandise truly wasn't acceptable - even if it did look to be decent quality. "Y-yeah...that's the band" she admitted with a widening grin, gaze upon him as she took a step to move besides him. "I'll admit, I haven't seen you guys play yet" she added innocently, grinning all the more as she turned to stand in front of him, backing away from the store keeper's vision. "I'm saying it'd be something I wouldn't mind glancing at" She mentioned afterward, shoulders loose as she felt almost care free in the situation. Her smile just remained the whole time.

<sub>He grinned at her "Yeah I now its illegal, I'll let the police deal with it if they see the t-shirt, but it is fasinating I'll admit, not many people know about my band" he said to her, he looked back at the women, she was busy selling t-shirts now "Yeah, my band has yet to play, the stage manager said there was no room, so were gonna play next week I guess" Eric said, his grin went to a frown when the women looked back at them "Why don't we go somewhere away from this stand, the girl creeps me out" he said, his grin came back, he placed one of his hands in his pocket, the other hand held the bag with the t-shirt inside of it "Do you like working as a technician?" he asked her, he was never good at anything like that, he was only good at playing the Guitar not setting it up and fixing it, he smiled at the thought of what he said, he really didn't admit his flaws, but today seemed different then most, he waited to see if she would agree to moving to a different location in the mall, he was a little hngry maybe they could go to the food court.

Just hearing the suggestion of leaving, Suki's head forced itself to nod almost instantly. She took a few footsteps ahead of Eric, before turning to face him - walking backward. "I'm guessing we just wander?" She questioned, hands remaining within her pockets as she flashed yet another lopsided grin in his direction, dimples within her right cheek forming only just. She sighed at hearing the other question and shrugged casually, glancing down to her feet as she stretched one out in front of her. "Y-yeah I guess..." she began, slowly glancing back up toward him. "It's pretty fun, once you get used to it" She admitted, her laugh soon escaping as she turned to stand besides him once more.

"Ah yeah....I'm Suki by the way" She introduced, extending her hand toward him in a friendly manner, not wishing to seem to forward as she awaited for him to take her hand. Her main mission was to really find some cereal, seeing as the other smells of food seemed to linger within the air. Plus, she had nothing better to do for the remainder of the day...after all, everything was sorted back at the area she was currently staying in.

You could say, it was a free day for once.
