Chapter #4Mallrats by: Rita "The mall?" Pete saw the familiar shops and regular bustle of crowd he always saw when he was at the local mall, "Why the mall?"
"Because my simple minded friend," Emily explained, "The mall is essentially a zoo, I mean, at least for our purposes it is. You see, although the mall is located directly in the center of town, there are tons of people from out of town who come here as well. So not only will we have our selection of locals to observe, but also people who we've never seen before. Giving you a much larger selection of people to choose from."
"Choose from?' Pete asked his sister, "I actually get a say in the matter? You seemed pretty adamant about being in control earlier."
"Well," Emily shrugged, "I'm just observing the spell, at least right now, in order to see if it worked properly. So for the most part, you're going to be flying solo on this mission. And as I see it, you might as well enjoy it. So got out there and pick whoever you want, kiddo. I'll be waiting here."
"Alright," Pete said, ready to get this over with. Pete still had no faith in any of the magic his sister proclaimed of having, but he knew she wouldn't leave him alone until he did her bidding. Letting out a large sigh, Pete searched through the crowds for someone who he wouldn't mind falling in love with him. Eventually, he was drawn to a mysterious and alluring woman, and decided to approach her.

Trudy likes trance music, flowing dresses, and gardening.
Linda Barrett: 34 year old sex shop owner: Linda had grown up in a very religious household, and throughout her life she was forbidden to do whatever was deemed sinful. Drinking, smoking, and even dancing were off the table. But worst of all, she was barely allowed to talk to boys, let alone date them. This lasted until her senior year in high school, where in her first ever act of defiance, she kissed a boy in her class. In that moment, a spark lit, and Linda wanted more. She took it further and further, until she had sex with the boy. She came to a conclusion that day, that sex was not something to be shunned over or to be ashamed of, but something beautiful. She then dedicated her life to this message, having written numerous books about sexual freedom and even doing her own podcast on the subject. She recently opened her own sex toy shop inside the mall. The business is doing fine, but she's terribly understaffed. Linda likes costumes, fantasy novels, and jogging. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
