"Why don't we go to the mall and get us some new threads." Smiling, Sabrina suggested. "Both of our wardrobes are so yesterday."
Emily giggled. "Yeah, I guess I'm due for an upgrade." Looking at her outfit, she said. "My father is a brilliant man but fashion is not his strong suit."
"Your father picked out your clothes?" Surprised, Sabrina asked.
"Dad is a bit of a control freak." Blushing, Emily admitted. "This is really my first taste of freedom since mom passed away when I was six."
"Harsh." Wincing, Sabrina said. She then smiled. "The mall is a great place to start exploring that new found freedom." She blushed slightly. "There is just one issue..."
Emily looked at Sabrina concerned. "What's that?"
"My family is not what you would consider 'well off'." Pouting, Sabrina said. "I don't have a lot of money to blow on clothes."
Emily smiled kindly. "That's not an issue." Amused, she said. She pulled out her cellphone and dialed a number. "Father, I made a friend."
"That is wonderful, my sweet wildflower!" Came a deep amused voice. "Does this friend have a name?"
"Sabrina." Smiling, Emily said. "Only she is low on cash for some new clothes..."
Xenon chuckled. "Your yearly budget is one billion dollars, my dear." To Sabrina's shock, he said. "I doubt helping your new friend getting a new wardrobe will effect your financial status in the least."
After ending the call, Emily turned to Sabrina. "I have dad's blessings to treat you to a day at the mall." Smiling, she said. "Let's do some mega shopping."
Sabrina giggled. "This is going to be fun." She whispered.
Twenty minutes later, Emily and Sabrina walked side by side into the mall. There were many other students from the college there who turned their way. Many were surprised to see Sabrina with anyone and became curious.
