"Hey what do you think of this?" I held up a pink hat with a bow on the side.

"I don't know I'm a guy." Wally stood behind me holding five large bags full of sweaters, socks, jackets, tee shirts, and Japanese candy. "Besides don't you have enough stuff?"

"I'm going to buy it." I walked to the cash register picking up a scarf, earrings, knee high socks, and gloves on the way. The red head trudged behind me blue in the face.

"Jeez, why do girls need so many clothes?" Wally whined as I dumped two more bags on him. "And why aren't you carrying any of this!?"

"So, what does your friend want?" I stuffed my wallet into my back pocket and walked out of the store with Wally behind me.

"I don't know she's kind of a shut in. But she likes blue and books and stuff." I sighed at Wally's terrible explanation of his friend. How did he expect me to help him if he couldn't even tell me what she wanted? I wasn't going to tell him to get her a blue book, what kind of present would that be?

"How about jewelry?" I looked for a shoe store in the large mall that Wally and I had been shopping at for two hours. "You could get her a bracelet."

"That's a good idea. What kind of bracelet do you think she'd like?"

"How would I know, I've never met her. What does she like?"

"I don't know we don't actually talk too much, she doesn't really like to talk to people." I sighed he really was useless.

"Let's go there." Wally followed me into a store that had a lot of charm bracelets in the window.

"I don't know all of this is a bit too flashy." I looked down at the shiny silver things that had a million things hanging on it. "Okay well there's another store we could try. I'm not sure if it'll be her thing but it's worth a shot." For the next hour Wally tailed me in and out of stores as I bought shoes and hair accessories. He even sat by while I got my nails done. In fact he got a pedicure, seemed to enjoy it too.

"So where is this store?" Wally sat back in the driver's seat of his car clearly relieved to of put down all of my things.

"Oh just start driving I'll tell you where to go." I looked down at my nails exhausted. "Gosh I'm tired."

"All you did was walk around! I'm the one that was lugging you're bags around! They weighed a ton!"

"Shut up and go! I leaned back in the soft leather seat as Wally revved up the engine.

A while later Wally parked the car in front of a small building nuzzled between a pet store and bookstore. It was a shop that I frequented while I was Jinx. They probably wouldn't recognize me as I am now, but I and the store owners got along pretty well.

"This store is creepy." He whined as we walked into the dark witch craft store. It looked small on the outside but it was huge on the inside. Smoke engulfed us as we walked past shelves of mystic antiques and spell books and that idiot jumped like five feet high. "Save me!"

"Shut up. Don't be a baby." He grabbed my sleeve and walked close behind as if a monster would come out and devour him at any moment.

"Why are we at a store for satanic crazies anyway?" A loud boom came from the front along with a flash of light. "Dear god! Save me!" Wally jumped on me, wrapping his arms around me and hiding his head in my hair. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be protective or what but he was whimpering like a baby.

"Get off me." I struggled to unwrap his arms from my body, but he was like a leach or something and wouldn't let go. "You can hold my hand okay." The idiot loosened his grip around me and slid his hand easily into mine.

"I went through a faze when I was into this stuff, and I happened to know that they have some really nice things here. She won't even notice that you got it from somewhere like here."

"Actually I think she likes stuff like this." I turned down one of the aisles into a long path lined with shelves. On each shelf there were different crystals and at the end was an endless selection of crystals that had been turned in to jewelry.

"Really?" I picked up a necklace that had a pink stone on it shaped like a moon and looked it over. The stone was pink opal, it was said to bring good luck.

"What about this?" I turned to see what Wally was holding and immediately dropped the necklace I held in surprise. It was silver with different crystals fastened in it, all blue. And in the middle sat the stone that the girl from my dreams had given me. It was shaped like a crescent and seemed to glow in the dark and even though it was mostly blue it had some purple in it. It was like looking into a galaxy.

"Where did you find that?" Wally looked confused but pointed me to a shelf with that held one other bracelet. It had the same crescent-shaped stone in the middle except the other stones fastened to the bracelet were all pink.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, come on lets go." I and Wally made our way to the cash register with the two bracelets.

The register was empty as usual. From all the times I'd been here I've learned a few things:

Never ring the bell.

Never yell

No one is going to come if you aren't a witch.

They don't take kind to new customers.

"Heeeel—"I clamped my hand over Wally's mouth not wanting a repeat of my first time at this store. I let a small hex fly to the poster of the witch from snow white, which Wally didn't notice me doing, and it fell to the floor revealing a small window where the store owners daughter stood mixing a purple goo, that I'm pretty sure she planned to throw on us when we yelled for her. Her name was Lolli and after a few visits you pretty much pick up on her love for practical jokes and hate of loud noises.

"Oh, Hi" She smiled goofily at us and walked around the window into the store through a hidden door behind the counter. "I was just, it doesn't matter." She pulled back the piece of red hair that hung in her face and pushed up her large purple glasses.

"Just here to buy some things." I smirked at her. Her eyes grew wider in recognition of me and she smirked back, showing that she knew who I was.

"Is there something I'm missing?" Wally frowned obviously feeling left out.

"So what do you need?" I dropped the bracelet in front of her.

"What does the stone in the middle of this mean?" I skipped conversing and got straight to business.

"This?" She picked it up and held it close to her face making faces in concentration. "This is the stone of fate."

"Fate huh?" What does that mean?

"Well anyway can I get this?" Wally dropped the identical bracelet on the counter.

"Okie dokie!" She rung up Wally and he wandered off to go inspect a demon sword hanging up in the back of the store, leaving me alone with Lolli.

"Jinx, why did you ask about that stone?" She laid her cheek on the counter and looked up at me.

"I had a dream about it."`She wagged her large fishtail braid in front of her face.

"Really? That's pretty significant you know. That stone is supposed to lead you to your fate." She pulled a pen from a bin on the counter and in a puff of smoke it turned into a miniature sword. "Those bracelets…" She motioned to pink one that I had just bought and then to Wally who was carrying the matching one. "Are a pair. Whoever he gives the other one to might be someone that you're destined to meet.

"Really?" I murmured to myself. "Well thanks Lolli." I turned to leave sporting a brand new bracelet.
