Ashswag's POV.

Ash stared at Reddoons. And then Squiddo. And then Reddoons. And back to Squiddo. He didn't actually know what to think.

"Ash, are you okay?" Squiddo questioned, slightly concerned that Ash had died internally.

Ash said nothing, went back in the changing room and locked the door. HE JUST WANTED TO SLEEP.

"Ash- no wait!" Squiddo chuckled, while Red was trying not to do the same.

Eventually, they managed to get Ash back out and paid for his new clothes. Although Squiddo had to promise to buy Ash coffee because he was going insane.

"Get me the strongest shit they have there. I don't care if it's foul." he muttered sleepily once they got to the cafe.

Squiddo also got her and Red something to drink while at the counter, before returning to their table.

They all drank their drinks in silence. This was due to the fact that Ash really didn't want to talk and also Squiddo knew that if she said anything that annoyed him he'd just leave.

Eventually, everybody finished their coffee and they continued shopping. Squiddo felt a bit bad and bought Ash chocolate, and this combined with the caffeine from earlier boosted his mood massively, to the point that he'd speak to his 'friends'.

In the meantime, they arrived at another store. Ash was looking at some accessories when suddenly, Squiddo appeared behind him with a pair of sunglasses.

"Ash put them on!"

They looked exactly like Red's but they still had the price tag on them, so they couldn't be.

"Fuck No. Absolutely not!" Ash argued. He had to admit, the sunglasses didn't look that bad, but he'd get made fun of, and he was not going to risk that.

"Pleassseeee?" Squiddo begged, "I'll give you a dollar?"

"Ten dollars,"

"Oh my god- fine, but you're gonna buy them with that money!"

Ash stared at her with an unimpressed look on his face, but held out his hand for the money. Squiddo reluctantly handed it over and Ash put the glasses on, and went over to a mirror begrudgingly.

The resemblance between him and Red in that moment honestly made him want to vomit. He immediately took them off, (receiving many protests from Squiddo in the process) and put them in the basket.

After about ten minutes and a lot of goofing around, they went to pay, as they were putting the items through the check-out, Red noticed the sunglasses.

"Oh these are nice, who are they for?"

Ash glared at Squiddo in a way that said "this-one's-for-you-to-answer", but she just shook her head, trying to prevent the giggles from spilling out.

Ash sighed, "This thing," he said, pointing at Squiddo, "Thought it'd be funny if I wore massive sunglasses like you."

Red burst out laughing, "You sound like an obsessive stan!"

"WHAT- no-" Ash started protesting quickly, before scowling at Squiddo. "This is your fault!"

"How? You agreed to this!"

This 'friendly' debate continued for a while. Eventually Red had to go home and Squiddo was getting bored. They parted ways and went back to where they lived.

When Ash got to his room, he put away all of the new shit he bought at the mall. Then he remembered the sunglasses. He picked them up and chuckled slightly, before putting them on and looking in the mirror. He looked like an absolute idiot, but for some reason, he didn't want to get rid of them. Instead, he put them in his draw and sat at his desk.

Ash booted up his PC and messaged Squiddo, who he knew would probably be on.

Ash switched off his phone and hopped on VC, but after ten minutes, she hadn't showed up. He was about to check his phone again when it buzzed.

Squiddo:

Sorry Ash

:/

Ash was slightly puzzled by this, Squiddo was never, EVER busy, in fact she had such an empty schedule that she'd beg Ash to play Minecraft with her. The only time she wasn't on would be if she went to the shops, but she couldn't be there - they just went!

Ash shrugged his shoulders. Maybe something important came up? Nevermind, he had other things he could do. So instead, he spent the time watching Youtube.

A few hours later, Ash checked the time. It was now 2:00PM, where the hell was Squiddo? He shook his head, and checked whether she was online.

Ash's face of concern morphed into one of confusion. She had been online for the past five hours... since they got back...

The only question was, who had she been talking to?
