Shopping can be fun.....Sometimes (Open)

[Alexandros Metaxas]

Saturday afternoon. The weekend. It was Alexandros’s favorite time of the week. No school, just time to kick back and relax. Well, he should really be getting his math homework, but he could do that once he got home. Right now he was here to just kick back, relax, and find something to do. He had already been kicked out of one store for being too loud. Well, store, Library, whatever you want to call it. It was to quiet, and Alex felt like it needed some noise. But maybe playing “I’ll be there for you” on full volume and singing along was a bit too much. Still, at least before he was kicked out a couple of people had applauded him. And they even gave him $5. Well, he wasn’t going to turn that down. Which gave him an idea. He found the hat store, and bought the cheapest bowler hat he could find. He made sure that he had at least a few coins left over. With that in mind, he quick marched over to where he saw a couple of people playing some instruments, and outlined his plan to them. They seemed up for. With this done, he placed the bowler hat in front of them, placed his few coins into in, and said, With a five, six, seven, eight. The band struck up and on cue, Alex began,

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month or even your year but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

By the end of the song, he had gotten a reasonably sized crowd, and his hat had a bit more money in it. Once the last note end, the crowd broke out into applause, and Alex, gave a little bow, and after him, the band gave their bow. He smiled at the crowd and said, Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all afternoon.

[Melyssa Serenity St. James*Awy]

Lyssa didn't really know why she had come back to the mall. Last time she had been here, she'd run into that party pooper Rachel Berry. Though luckily enough the girl seemed to be nowhere in sight. That was good. She liked to keep her mood and her spirits high for the moment. She actually didn't currently feel in a bitchy mood. That normally meant that she might be nice to someone. She was curious as to who might be floating around today. She had laughed when some guy had kicked her out of a store about ten minutes ago for clapping. The other people that got kicked out had given the kid some money. She needed to see something more impressive before she were to cough over any money. However, she heard the band kick up as she walked passed and that song floated through the air again.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month or even your year but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

Okay, so that performance was better than the one in the store. Though she decided to wait until the crowd cleared away a bit. Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all afternoon. She chuckled a little and then crowd was thinning out slightly. Lyssa strolled over and smiled at the boy. So, this is what you do after you get kicked out of stores for being too loud.
