who: Bobby, Josh, and Jubilee!
when: Sunday afternoon
where: The Mall
what: Bobby and Josh have picked up a hitchhiker at the school and brought her with them to buy Josh a new skateboard.

Now that Josh Foley was a businessman who had healed Regan in return for money, he'd be able to buy a brand new skateboard! It was about time, too, if you asked Bobby Drake. Not that he would think any board was better than his, but he knew his buddy needed a sturdier one that wasn't threatening to split in half every time they went out to practice tricks. They could unscrew the wheels and everything from his old one that he invested into so Josh could probably get a pretty good board. It was to be a man date until Jubilee found out and invited herself along, but Bobby didn't mind the company. They fed off each other's off-the-wall actions and sarcasm. After making an overdramatic fuss about waiting for her on the front drive, the trio were off on the bus to the mall. Within no time at all, they were dropped off and making their way inside the bustling building. Bobby led the way, always loving to be first, right up to the entrance of the skate shop. Then he stopped.

"They're going to think I'm crazy. I was just here like four hours ago," Bobby Drake commented, squinting into the store trying to figure out if the same workers were even there. He sighed when he realized they were. This better not kill his chances at getting hired if they think he's an impatient crazy wanting to know if he had a job. He already looked weird from his phone vibrating every few seconds. Now everyone was texting and messaging him back now that he wasn't sitting around bored at the pool anymore. That was always how it went. "You two! Don't embarrass me, or I'll be full of, like ... hate!"

Jubes was far happier spending a dead Sunday afternoon with some of the boys than doing nothing at all. And as soon as she even had the inkling through Bobby's texts that something was happening outside of boredly lazing around her dorm room, she was all over that! She insta-clung to the idea that she would be joining Josh and Bobby for a day of being a mall rat! From the moment she invited herself to her running down the hallway and down the stairs to the tripping over the bottom step like the hella-klutz she was to whinging about it to begrudgingly meeting the unhelpful boys outside to boarding the bus ... she was just content to be out of the mansion!

With her skinned knees and sloppy band-aid job, she and her crew arrived outside of the skate shop. Bobby immediately gave out the warning to not embarrass him (and she knew he had applied for a job there), but the words were out of his mouth just perhaps a second too late. The minute she realised they had gotten to the exact place they had been chatting and texting about previously, she grinned ear-to-ear. No mall store was safe!!

And with that thought, she darted inside and straight to a store clerk.

Josh was definitely looking forward to finally getting a new skateboard. Not only was his old one beat to hell after years of ~~abuse~~ use, it had also been a 15th birthday present from his parents and thus always left him with an uncomfortable nostalgic feeling every time he brought it out. And so it was sort of symbolic for him to be replacing it with one he was buying for himself now that he actually had the money to do so. Although hopefully being paid by Regan wasn't going to be a regular occurrence, even if it was more financially beneficial than the school's allowance was.

Finally after much bantering and a bus ride the three had arrived at the mall. Jubilee was pretty funny and everything but it was already starting to feel a little like a babysitting job. Particularly when she went running off into the store like the crazy ADD kid she was, ranting about roller skates much to the chagrin of both boys. "Okay I am definitely not the one you need to worrying about," Josh said to Bobby just as Jubilee knocked a pack of wheels off a nearby rack during her flailing followed by a loud "OOPS! MY BAD!" that rang out through the entire store.

"This is why we can't have nice things!" he called after Jubilee as he wandered into the store and started to browse through the different boards displayed across the wall. He definitely drew a few stares in all his golden glory but he paid them no mind as he inspected one of the Element boards more closely. "Dude, you wanna work here come help me pick one," he demanded of Bobby.
