They made it to the mall, and all morphed Human somewhere safe.
"You have never taken me to the mall, Tobias. It is a very large building. What do you do there?"
"We hang out, shop, and play arcade games. There's a lot to do there."
"Do not forget to tell her about the wondrous food, Tobias. Foooduh. There are cinnamon buns and other salty, flavorful food at the food court. That is where Prince-uh, I mean Jake invited us to."
"Are cinnamon buns meaty? I have enjoyed many meats."
"No. There is more to food than meat. Non-meat items can taste good when you are Human, Cindy."
"Come on, guys. We only have a couple of hours to get in and out."
They made their way in, where everyone else was seated. They took seats, with Cindy between Ax and Tobias.
"Hey guys." Tobias said.
"Hey Tobias. Who's the girl?" Marco asked.
"I am Cindy. I live with Tobias."
Everyone stared at her for a few moments.
"I was planning on easing everyone into this."
"Tobias, what did you do?" Jake asked.
"Well, I used the box on our favorite female hawk. Now she's like me."
"Does no one else understand it's what's on the inside that counts? Because as cheesy as that line is, it's true." Rachel said.
"She's a hawk that can morph Human. Just like me."
"Tobias, you aren't a hawk." Rachel replied.
"He's not?" Marco asked.
Jake got up and went over to Ax. "Come with me. We need to talk." Ax got up and left.
Rachel glared at Cindy, who was leaning on Tobias. She was about to say something when Cassie pulled her away.
"You know, Tobias," Marco said when it was just the three of them. "She looks kinf of like Rachel."
"What do you mean?"
"The hair color, skin color, build, and height are similar."
"So I like girls a certain way. What are you saying?"
"I'm saying you aren't totally over rachel, and probably subconsciously picked out girls that looked similar to her."
Ax came back, and Jake went to find the girls. "Jake has infomred me that I should not allow you to do things without the consent of the group. Also, the box is off limits. I believe he may be somewhat angry."
"This didn't really go very well."
"Dude, you can't go showing off your new girlfriend in front of your old girlfriend. That will never go well."
