164 Day out

Meanwhile, in the shopping mall in the city...

"Penny" Slater called, holding an ugly-looking stuffed toy in front of his face.

When Penny turned her head, her face remained the same when she saw the horrendous

stuffed toy. But when Slater abruptly pulled it down, she flinched.

"Penny!" Slater gasped in disbelief. "How could you not flinch at the sight of this stuffed toy, but get surprised with my face?! I don't look as horrible as this one!" She deadpanned. "Really?"

"Hah!" he gasped again. "What's with that look?!"

"Nothing." Penny looked away and set her eyes on the rack of greeting cards before her. She rubbed her chin, scanning the variety of greeting cards.

Slater glanced at the rack curiously. "Is someone having a birthday? Why are you looking for greeting cards?"

"For future purposes."

Slater observed her side profile, unable to stop his imagination from thinking of her bags. Penny had many different sorts of stuff in her bags to the point one would wonder if she was even bringing a ladder.

'Is this how she usually prepares what to put in her bag, so she's always ready? he wondered, assuming he was witnessing the 'behind the scenes' of her magical bag.

"That one!" Penny's eyes lit up and pointed at the top of the rack. However, she couldn't reach it. even if she tiptoed. Hence, she turned to Slater. "I like that one, but I can't reach it. Can you get it for me?"

"Which one?"

"That!"

Slater leaned his head closer to her index that was pointing at the card as if he could see better if he did. "That one with the red and purple color?
