so this is where the magic happens [abcde]

Pan wasn't a mall person. No, he REALLY wasn't a mall person. All of those people in close quarters flirting and giggling? It was like a pool of cooties just trying to crawl at him. But even Pan needed new clothes, right? Yup. There was really only one place in Concordia to get them too, and that was the mall.

As he entered the dreaded place he glanced around, hoping for any opportunity to pull a quick prank on someone to make himself feel a little better. Soon, he noticed a man sitting on a bench, shoes untied and a newspaper in front of his face. Classic. Peter walked over their casually, dropping down at the last second to tie the mans shoe laces together, and then jumping up and walking away as if nothing happened. Although, Pan liked to see the outcome of his pranks, so he had to hang around there just a little bit longer.

He took to leaning on a nearby wall, pretending to admire his fingernails as the main stood up, stumbled, but didn't fall. He looked around in confusion however, which was good enough for Pan. He wasn't big on people getting hurt, he just liked to see them baffled.

He pushed off the wall with his back and began walking away, whistling as he did so. Now, which store first?

After spending most of her morning trying to find a suitable wine in the Concordia liquor store, Abcde finally gave up and decided she would pull from her brother's stash. Nothing made by useless merchants was ever any good. So now, here she was, walking down one of the more populated hallways of the mall, bored out of her mind. That is when she spotted a guy crouched close to the floor. What was he doing? Oh. he's tying that guys.... What??

Abcde giggled and slowly made her way to lean against the wall next to the boy's more than conspicuous hiding place against the far edge of the corridor. When the man stood and tripped over himself ungracefully, Abcde laughed and leaned to her left to whisper so the guy could hear, "Nice one." She hovered close to him with sparkling blue eyes, "Very brave."

There are moment in a mans boys life where his heart is pounding so loudly in his ears that he can't even hear is own thoughts. This was one of those moments.

He wasn't expecting to hear a feminine voice beside him, congratulating him on his prank. He was definitely not expecting her to call him brave. And he was sooo not ready for the way her blue eyes looked like the ocean. Or something cheesy like that. NO. No. NO.

His jaw dropped a little as she leaned in close to him and said those words. But he quickly closed it, "Erh... yeah, I'm uh-bravery, cool," he stammered out.  He had to regain his composure. Where girls even legally allowed to dress like that? And how did her hair get to that perfect shade of blonde? AND WHY WAS HE THINKING LIKE THAT!?

He leaned back, starting to panic a little. He gave her a flat line smile before speaking again, this time with more composure. "Eh, it wasn't that brave. The guy wasn't even paying that much attention. But thanks," he gave her a short nod and tried to move his feet to walk away. Tried. Nope. They weren't moving.

When Abcde saw the way he looked at her short denim short and Batman themed bikini top, she really thought it was just too good an opportunity to pass up. Lacing her fingers together, she shrugged her shoulders in a natural motion that pushed her breasts together and emphasized her cleavage, "Well if he had seen you, there's no telling how he would have reacted." She said in a sing-song voice, "I mean, he works down at the Authority with me as a Magister of Ares. He has quite a temper." She raised her eye brows and shivered as if she were imagining something awful.

She then moved one arm so that it wrapped around her back and her fingers hooked around the elbow of her other arm, "So what's your name?" She asked sweetly, leaning toward him, "I'm Abcde."

Pan tried to look away from the girl, he really did, but it seemed that his neck was broken. "That's... true..." He muttered as he looked back up at her face, trying to ignore the extreme GIRLness about her. "Ares, huh? I thought he looked familiar," Pans eyes widened as he was able to look back at the man and for certain, he recognized him from the Greek camp. "Ooops," he shrugged with a devilish smirk, turning back to face the girl. The extremely girl-like girl.

As she leaned toward him, her voice was like honey. Well, that's what someone who was not a girl hater would say. Pan would never think that. Nope. He didn't lean away though, he was stuck again. "Abcde..." he nodded, "I'm Ban, No Pan! Pan Banning," he said regaining his composure enough to lean away a little. "Erh. Son of Urania, patroned by Hermes," he added.

With a giggle, Abcde leaned with Pan so he never really got any further away from her, "Like Peter Pan?" She tilted her head to one side so her blonde curls bounced over her bare shoulders, "That's a cute name."

Abcde then looked around, noticing that people were watching her. It probably had something to do with the bathing suit she was wearing instead of a regular top. The thing is, she was just been sun tanning and hadn't bothered to go home and change before running to the mall. Not completely her fault, "Whatcha doin here, anyway? Just making scary odikinetics trip over themselves?"

ABCDE'S BATHING SUIT TOP

"Yeah, that's who I'm named af-after," he tried to see as it seemed his leaning away didn't help him AT ALL. His eyes fell on those curls as they danced across her bare skin. Wait-did she just say cute? "Hey, thanks," he said with confidence. He really was a little stuck up about how cool he really was, but he knew that this was flirting. He knew it, and he didn't know how to get out of it.

"Yeah, that's what I usually do," he breathed as he was able to finally do so because she looked away. He knew people were staring, and it was clear why. He was trying his hardest to keep his eyes on her face. "I generally just cause mischief around here," he said.

Suddenly getting a shiver up her spine, Abcde grinned and glanced down the hall before looking back at Pan, "So you're not busy then?" She asked, not really expecting an answer. She reached forward and hugged his arm, "Good! Then we can hang out! I need to buy a new outfit anyway." She giggled and leaned her head on his shoulder like a little kid walking with their parent. She could feel his arm against the bare skin of her stomach and smiled at the warmth that seemed to radiate off of him.

As if to really push him over the edge, she released a little of the ecstasy and let it travel trough the skin on her stomach into his arm. The air around her filled with the sweet scent of flowers and strawberries and she started to feel almost drunk from the power, her mind going fuzzy as she leaned against the boy.

Before he was able to say anything regarding her question as to whether or not he was busy, she was hugging his arm and his heart was beating in his ears. He had never, ever been this close to a girl before. And they weren't even that close at all! His words caught in his throat as she giggled, leaning her head on his shoulder and insisting that they would be hanging out. He tried to protest, but he seemed... broken? His skin was clearly on fire where his skin was touching hers on her arms and on her stomach. But he couldn't move.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of emotions running through him. He was feeling even more reckless than he usually did. He turned to face the girl, "Where to?" he said simply. He wasn't sure what he was so bothered about anyway. This girl was awesome, right? They could do anything they wanted, nothing mattered! It was just a nice, sunny, fun day at the mall. Pan didn't even notice that he was (albeit magically) drugged.

Abcde tugged Pan's arm to force him to walk along with her as she entered the first store they came to. It was the closest thing to a Forever 21 the demi-gods had, although there was something about being a demi-god that made being 21 forever less appealing than it didn't to a human. She pulled a dress off the rack and tugged the boy to the dressing area, "Wait for me?" She asked sweetly and she batted her eyes lashes at him and sent an extra strong jolt of ecstasy through his arm before releasing him.

Abcde lumped behind a curtain and, before the curtain was even closed all the way, started to untie her top. She threw the batman bikini top on the floor and pulled the dress on over her shorts. It was silver and shiny and looked amazing when she pulled her yellow jacket over the top. It was the fastest shopping she had ever done.

She jumped out of the dressing room and struck a pose, "What do you think?"

As Pan was pulled along, he couldn't help but think back on how his day had gotten him to this point. What had he deserved to get a beautiful girl attached to his arm? He didn't know. He. Did. Not. Know. He was pulled into a fashion store, still feeling loopy and excited about it all because of her powers affect on him. He nodded, "Yup," he said simply as she commanded/asked him to wait for her to change. Suddenly he felt another surge of energy and he sat down, lazily smiling as he waiting for her to change.

He glanced at the curtain, but looked away quickly. She hadn't exactly closed it all the way. He whistled to himself a little tune while glancing at the ceiling, enjoying the pretty chandeliers. When she jumped out, his eyes immediately found her. "Wow," he stared as he stood, walking towards her, "looks fantastic," he said, truthfully. Something in the back of his mind reminded him how icky girls were, and he took a step back.

Abcde giggled as she wrapped herself around his arm again, "Wonderful." She sighed. She bought the clothes and tugged him back out into the main portion of the mall, "So who's next?" She asked, looking around at the many targets available for the pranks she hoped he would want to pull, "Who the next target in your master plan?" She asked with a cute smile on her face.

Suddenly she was on his arm again but he was starting to come to, only a little though. He could remember how he felt about girls, though. He didn't pull away because the ecstasy was convincing him that this was an enjoyable thing. As he was pulled back into the main portion of the mall he glanced around, looking for potentials. There was a man drinking a smoothie and walking and the same time. A good tripping could be fun. There was also a small group of people, probably the same age as them, sitting on the edge of the fountain. Maybe he could get them to fall in? His brain was a little jumbled though, which only made the pranking ideas better. "Here's one," he said leading her toward his victim.

It was a girl, maybe a little older than they, "I've done this one before. You walk up to someone and you're like 'Oh my gosh! It's so good to see you!' and act like you know each other. They will always pretend that they know whats going on," he cocked an eyebrow at her, wondering if that would be fun to her.

Her blue eyes sparkled as she watched him explain his latest prank. She giggled and nodded, "That happens to me all that time!" She explained, but after further thought she amended her statement, "Except most of those people actually know me, I think. I just don't remember their faces because they were at some party my brother threw three weeks ago." Abcde shook her head and felt her blonde hair bouncing around her shoulders as he eyed the kids sitting on the fountains, "Would it help if you knew that guys name is Tanner?" She asked, pointing at the Bacchus boy in the center. He was her least favorite brother, much more in to the theater aspect of their family than the fun.

"Party?" Pan perked up at the word. Partly because he actually enjoyed parties and partly because he was drugged with power and a party actually sounded like the perfect thing to do right now.

When she offered the guys name to her, he smiled, "That would help a lot! How did you know?" he asked her. Maybe he was one of the big party attendees like she was. Why hadn't Pan gone to any of these parties, anyway?
