"Don't you have any friends? Why are you always coming to me?" Effie asked, raising an eyebrow.

Fidelia's eyes flickered with a hint of mischief. "I just like hanging out with you. Problem?"

Effie just rolled her eyes. Still, she tugged Shirley along to keep Fidelia company on her shopping spree.

As they wandered through the mall, Fidelia suddenly spotted a display of mystery boxes and immediately dragged Effie over.

Fidelia shot Effie a look, half exasperated, half amused. “Because opening a mystery box is a whole different experience. If I get it myself, it'll make me so much happier."

Shirley nodded in agreement. "I get that. It's about the thrill."
