Hey! This is my fourth fanfic. I’m so proud of myself!
Anyway, this is my first attempt at a funny
fanfic, and I think I did pretty well. This is
definitely one for Haruka or Seiya fans. Or maybe even
for Haruka and Seiya haters. Anyway, please tell me if
you liked it or not. E-mail me at
darkouters7@yahoo.com. Also, if you have any ideas for
a fanfic, but you don’t want to write it,
then I will for you. Just e-mail me! Anyway, all these
characters belong to the owners of
Sailormoon, except for my character, but I don’t want
to say who it is cuz it’ll give part of the
story away, but I’m sure you can tell that I made it
up. Anyway, enjoy, and e-mail me with your
comments!

 “I have a bad feeling about these Starlights,” Sailor
Uranus commented as she watched
the three Starlights leap away.
 “We better keep an eye on them,” Sailor Neptune said.
 “Don’t judge them so quickly. They might be able to
help us,” Sailor Pluto added.
  “Well, I’m not going to trust any of them until I can
see with my own eyes that they our
solely on our side,” Sailor Uranus declared.
 “Well, we know their human identities, so we can keep
an eye on them 24/7,” Sailor
Neptune said.

 “Those senshi are harsh,” Yaten said as he walked
toward the apartment he shared with
Seiya and Taiki.
 “I think we can become a team and work together. They
might be able to help us find
Princess Kakyuu,” Seiya said.
 “I don’t think so. Sailor Uranus is so mean. I think
she’d rather kill us then help us, even
though we are on the same side as her,” Yaten said.
 “She is rather rude to me,” Seiya put in.
 “I wouldn’t blame her. She walked in to see you about
to undress her girlfriend. I would
be mean to you too if that happened to me,” Taiki
said.
 “He has a point there, Seiya,” Yaten said.
 “And she isn’t mean on purpose. It’s just her
nature,” Taiki added.
 “And why are we defending her?” Seiya asked Taiki.
 “I’m not defending her, I’m just stating the truth,”
Taiki said blushing.
 “Sure,” Yaten said, “I believe you.”
**************************************************************************
 
 “Come on Haruka! We’re late!” Michiru shouted up the
stairs.
 “I’m coming, I’m coming,” Haruka said as she ran down
the stairs. “How can you be late
going to the mall?” Haruka muttered to herself.
 “I want to get there early!” Michiru stated.
 “Ok, I’m here! Let’s go!” Haruka said.
****************************************************************
 “Why do we have to go to the mall?” Taiki whined as
he buckled himself in.
 “Shut-up Taiki!” Seiya shouted, “Just because you
hate having fun doesn’t mean you
have to stop us from having fun.”
 “Can’t I just stay home?” Taiki asked.
 “No. You need to be out in public a little more,”
Yaten said.
 “Fine, but look. I think it’s going to storm. It
looks like a blizzard. Maybe we shouldn’t go,”
Taiki suggested.
 “Too late,” Seiya said as he pulled the car out of
the driveway.
 “SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH” Taiki
exclaimed.
 “Do we have to be in the same car as him?” Yaten
asked.
 “Yes, we do. He’s our sibling, and even though he is
annoying at times, and even though
he’s a party pooper all the time, he still needs to go
to the mall with us and that is FINAL!” Seiya
said shouting the last word.
 That shut them both up.

 “Oh, Haruka, this dress would look adorable on you,”
Michiru said holding up a pink
dress to Haruka.
 “Michiru, uh...I’m not a dress person, remember?”
Haruka said.
 “Oh, but you will wear a dress sometime in your life,
and this dress is absolutely
adorable,” Michiru said trying to persuade Haruka to
get it.
 “Uh...well...uh...,” Haruka said trying to think of
something to say.
 “You don’t like it do you?” Michiru asked, her voice
wavering.
 “Oh, no, no, I mean yes, yes, of course I like it, I
just...” Haruka said trying to make
Michiru feel better.
 “It’s ok, I understand,” Michiru said.
 “Thanks...Hey! Look over there!” Haruka said pointing
outside the shop to a bench by the
ice-cream stand.
 “Its, Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten!” Michiru exclaimed.
 “Come on, let’s see what they’re up to,” Haruka said
pulling Michiru out the store.
 They hid behind a trash can that was right behind the
bench.
 “Now, can we go?” Taiki was asking.
 “No,” Seiya replied.
5 minutes later
 “Now can we go?” Taiki asked.
 “No,” Yaten replied.
5 minutes later
 “Now can we go?” Taiki asked.
 “NO!” Seiya and Yaten both shouted.
 “Yuck! I spilled my ice-cream on my pants! Gross!”
Yaten exclaimed standing up and
attempting to wipe the ice-cream off his pants.
 “I’ll help,” Seiya offered. They walked towards the
men’s bathroom.
 “Yes, my chance to escape. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!” Taiki
laughed evilly as he stood up.
 “Stop right there!” Haruka shouted standing up to
stop Taiki. She just loved to see him
tortured so she wouldn’t let him leave.
 “Oh, uh Haruka. Haha, uh hi. Haha, what are you doing
here?” Taiki asked.
 “What do people do in a mall?” Haruka asked.
 “Uh, haha, uh shop I guess,” Taiki answered.
 “Correct. So that’s what we’re doing here, nerd,”
Haruka spit out.
 “Now, don’t be mean to him, Haruka,” Michiru said.
 “Ok, ok,” Haruka reluctantly agreed. “I’m sorry for
calling you nerd, nerd,” Haruka
apologized.
 “Oh, uh, that’s ok. Call me nerd whenever you like,”
Taiki said.
 “We finally got Yaten’s pants clean,” Seiya said as
he walked up to Taiki. Then he
realized that Haruka and Michiru were there too.
 “Uh, heh heh, uh, hi Haruka. Hi Michiru,” Seiya said
nervously.
 “Hello, Seiya,” Michiru said politely.
 “Oh, isn’t this sweet, the three nerds going to the
mall together,” Haruka said
sarcastically.
 “We are not nerds! At least I’m not anyway!” Yaten
exclaimed.
 “Sure, you go ahead and think that, nerd,” Haruka
said.
 “Haruka! Be nice!” Michiru scolded.
 Seiya caught himself staring at Michiru but it was
too late.
 “You bastard...er...um...bitch...er um...whatever.
You thing! Staring at my Michiru like
that! No one stares at her except me! How dare you?!”
Haruka exploded.
 “I’m sorry..I...I..” Seiya started to say.
 “Feel the wrath of Haruka!” Haruka shouted as she
started to chase Seiya.
 “Haruka come back! It’s ok!” Michiru shouted as she
started running after her.
 “Don’t hurt Seiya!” Taiki yelled as he started
running towards the three.
 “Sigh, I might as well follow them,” Yaten said to
himself as he started jogging after
them. He stopped as he reached a puzzled Taiki
standing looking around.
 “Where did they go?” Taiki asked.
 “Um..” Yaten had no clue. He looked towards the men’s
bathroom and saw the door
swinging open. “To the men’s bathroom!” He exclaimed
as he started running again.
 
The mall will close in 5 minutes, an overhead voice
called out.
 
 “We better get them and get out of here!” Taiki said.
 He ran into the bathroom to see Haruka ramming
herself against a stall, trying to get it
open.
 “You can’t stay in there forever! Come out and fight
like the man you’re not!” she was
shouting.
 “Calm down, Haruka. Please, it’s ok. We don’t want
anyone to get hurt,” Michiru said.
 
“The mall will close in 4 minutes”
 
 “Stop it!” Yaten said tugging on Haruka’s shirt
trying to pull her off the stall door.
 “Get off of me! If you want to undress someone, go
undress Taiki!” She shouted.
 “Seiya, get out here and fight!” Haruka screamed.
 “Uh, guys. The mall is gonna close soon. Maybe we
should forget about this and go
home. I’m hungry and thirsty. Oh, and I really need to
study for that...” Taiki was trying to say.
 “Shut up!” Yaten yelled as he was attempting to pull
Haruka away form the stall.
“The mall will close in 3 minutes.”
 
  “Haruka! Get off the stall right now! If you don’t
then no more fun for you for a whole
month!” Michiru said.
 Haruka jumped back from the stall muttering,”I’ll get
you Seiya. Next time.”
 
“The mall will close in 2 minutes.”
 
 The four made their way out of the bathroom, Seiya
creeping as far away from Haruka
as he could. Once outside, Haruka pounced on Seiya,
dragging him to the floor.
 
“The mall will close in 1 minute.”
 
 Fists were flying and Yaten, Taiki, and Michiru were
desperately trying to drag Haruka
and Seiya apart from eachother. 
 
“Good-bye.”
 
 Haruka and Seiya stopped fighting. The lights blinked
off. A scream was heard, and then
a dull thump as the body fell to the ground. 
 Dull overhead lights turned on, and everyone could
see once again.
 “Get off of me!” Haruka shouted as she pushed Taiki
off of her. 
 “I’m..I’m sorry. I’m afraid of the dark,” He said.
 “Well, you didn’t have to fall on me! You’re so fat!”
She shouted.
 “You’re not so light yourself, Haruka,” Yaten said.
 “Shut-up. I’m prettier than you anyday, you man-woman
thing!” Haruka shot back.
 “Everyone calm down!” Michiru screamed.
 All was silent.
 “As you should all know, we are stuck in this mall.
We need to find an exit, or maybe a
guard or something,” Michiru stated to the all too
quiet group.
 “I don’t think there will be any guards,” Seiya said,
“ The mall is closed for two days due
to one of your human celebrations.”
 “Are you insulting our customs?” Haruka asked Seiya.
 “No, no no no no, of course not. I’m just saying that
there probably aren’t any guards
here.”
 “Good. And you better not lay one of your filthy
fingers on my Michiru or else you will
never live to see the light of day again!” Haruka
threatened.
 “We might not live to see another light of day if we
stay in here. We’ll starve and have to
eat the leather off shoes, and when those run out
we’ll eat eachother!” Taiki said hysterically.
 “Calm down! We can’t starve to death in two days!
Besides, it’s called the food court
stupid!” Yaten said.
 “We’ll personally, I want to get out of here. I’ll
seriously die if I have to stay in here with
you guys,” Haruka stated pointing to Seiya, Taiki, and
Yaten.
 “You guys, we shouldn’t waste time. Let’s find an
exit,” Michiru suggested.
 “Ok. Taiki and Yaten, you go that way,” Haruka said
pointing toward the north side of the
mall, “ and Michiru, Seiya, and I will go that way,”
she said pointing toward the South side of the
mall. “Meet back here in 2 hours, and we’ll see if
anyone found a way out.”
 “Why do I have to go with you?” Seiya asked Haruka.
 “Because I need to keep an eye on you. Who knows what
trouble you’ll get into,” Haruka
said, then she whispered into his ear, “Besides, I
need to have some chance to kill you.” 
 “*GULP!!!*”
 Taiki and Yaten walked off, after wishing good luck
to Seiya, and Haruka led Michiru and
Seiya over to their starting point.
  “Now, look out for doors, windows, or anything that
will lead us to the outside world,” she
commanded them.
 They walked along in silence, and they looked all
over the place, but any windows they
found were bullet proof and they couldn’t get out.
They reached the end of the mall, and Michiru
abruptly stopped, but it was too late for Seiya. He
ran right into Michiru and knocked her over.
Haruka was not pleased.
 “You thing! How dare you fall on top of my Michiru?
I’ll kill you for this! She could be
hurt! Michiru are you ok?”
 “Yes, I’m fine Haruka. He just fell. Please, don’t
hurt him,” Michiru said.
 “I must. The thing is getting way to close to you!”
Haruka declared.
 All the while, Seiya had been slowly backing away,
but he didn’t have enough time to
run. Haruka kicked him in a not good place to kick a
guy. 
 “Why do I have to be a guy?” he groaned as he fell to
the floor.
 “It’s not over yet!” Haruka screamed as she ran
towards him.
 “STOP!!!!!!!!!” Michiru screamed as she wacked Haruka
over the head with a “Mall Doll”
poster. 
 “You guys are too much! Stand up! Come here! Good!”
She said as they followed her
orders.
 She took them both by the hand and walked them over
to where they were supposed to
meet Taiki and Yaten. She sat them down on the bench,
and took a seat beside Haruka.
Everyone was silent, until they saw Yaten and Taiki
coming back. 
 “Did you find an exit?” Haruka asked.
 “Can we go?” Michiru asked.
 “I’m hungry!” Seiya declared.
 “No,” Yaten said as he plopped down next to Seiya.
 “We still need to explore downstairs. I know where
some exits are down there, but I’m
not sure if we will be able to get out from them,”
Michiru said.
 “Let’s go!” Taiki said.
 “Wait a minute. Haruka, you stay here with Seiya.
Taiki, Yaten and I will go.”
 “But..but..” Seiya started to say.
 “NO buts! You two are staying here, and that’s final.
When I come back, there shall be
NO dead person or persons on the floor, do you
understand?” Michiru asked.
 “Yes, Michiru. I’ll take care of him,” Haruka said
grinning evilly.
 “You better. Make sure he’s just as healthy as he was
before I left!” and with that she
walked off with Yaten and Taiki following after her.
 
  “Guess it’s just you and me,” Seiya said as he
watched Michiru, Taiki, and Yaten walk
away.
 “Shut up,” Haruka said. 
 They sat in silence for what seemed like years, but
was only really minutes.
 “You really love Michiru don’t you?” Seiya asked.
 “Yes, I do, and she’s the only person I will ever
love,” Haruka said, her voice softening as
she spoke.
 “I love someone a lot, too,” Seiya said.
 “Who?” 
 “It doesn’t matter. She doesn’t love me back, and
even if she did it doesn’t mean we
could be together.”
 “Well, who is she?” Haruka asked.
 “Usagi.”
 “WHAT?!?!?! YOU @#$#@$^ $% @#&$*!!! Don’t you dare
make her fall in love with
you!” Haruka exploded.
 “Why? I mean I know she has a boyfriend, but she can
love me if she wants to! Don’t be
jealous!” Seiya said.
 “I’m not jealous! She is destined to rule over
Crystal Tokyo with Mamoru and that’s what
she’s going to do! No one must stand in the way of
that, or else the world would be destroyed or
something!”
 “But..”
 “NO BUTS! Just stay away from her!” Haruka shouted.
 “Sorry,” Seiya squeaked. Once again, silence fell
over them.
 “It’s cold,” Seiya said shivering. He leaned closer
to Haruka for warmth, but she pushed
him away.
 “What do you think you’re doing? Don’t touch me!”
Haruka shouted.
 “Sorry. I’m going to see if there are any sweaters or
something. I’m going to freeze to
death if I don’t find one,” Seiya said.
 He started walking away, but Haruka called out,
“Seiya! Wait! I might as well go with
you. I mean it is so boring sitting here by myself. Of
course it’s boring sitting here with you too,
but...”
 “Ok, come. You don’t need to explain,” Seiya said.
 They walked over to a sweater store that was one of
Haruka’s personal favorites. Seiya
grabbed a sweater and as they were walking back, they
saw a dim light approaching them.
 “Michiru! Is that you?” Haruka called out.
 “Down from the bottom of the cash register tray,
 up into the darkness I will play ,
 singing my frightful songs to all I host
 I am the mall ghost!”
 
 “What?” Haruka asked panicking.
 “The mall..mall..mall ghost!” Seiya shouted.
 “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” they both screamed as they ran into
the mens’ bathroom.
 “You can’t hide from me!” the mall ghost said as it
followed them into the bathroom.
 Seiya and Haruka crouched into the smallest corner
they could find, squishing together,
trying to look as small as possible. Haruka hated
ghosts. They were her one fear she was
embarrassed to tell Michiru about. Seiya hated them,
too.
 “Seiya, tell Michiru I love her if I die. You aren’t
all that bad either,” Haruka confessed.
 “Same with you. You’re actually rather pretty,” Seiya
said.
 “Really? You think so? Thanks.” Haruka said.
 The mall ghost approached them, but right when she
was about to hit them, the
bathroom door opened and in walked Michiru, Taiki, and
Yaten, to see Haruka and Seiya
hugging eachother in fear.
 “Haruka?” Michiru asked, surprised.
 “The mall..mall..mall..mall..ghost! Look!” she said
pointing to the air in front of her.
 “What?” Taiki asked puzzled.
 “It..tri...tried...to hurt us!” Seiya wailed.
 “Maybe we shouldn’t have left you two alone. I don’t
know what you’ve been eating,
drinking, or saying, but there is no mall ghost,”
Yaten said.
 “AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH HARUKA?” Michiru
shouted.
 “EWWW!” Haruka shouted as she realized she was
hugging Seiya.
 “Get off me!” she shouted.
 “Sorry, sorry!” Seiya apologized as he jumped up.
 They all walked out of the bathroom and headed
towards the food court.
 “Too bad we didn’t find a way out. We’ll have to stay
in here for the next day,” Yaten said
once they had all gotten their food and sat down.
 “I think I’ll live, I think I’ll live, I think I’ll
live,” Taiki started chanting.
 “You will! Now shut up and eat before I hurt you!”
Haruka shouted.
 They all ate and they heading back upstairs to a
department store with beds in it.
Everyone each got a separate bed, and they fell fast
asleep. Seiya awoke to hear Taiki snoring.
 “He just had to decide to sleep beside me!” he
thought.
 He got up and sleepily walked toward the food court.
His stomach growled with hunger.
 He was about to decide where to eat, but he saw that
faint glowing light again.
 “So we meet again my friend
 last time it was almost the end
 but I feel that now the time has come
 to say goodbye.”
 “AHHHHHHHHH” Seiya screamed as he started running. He
ran into someone and they
both fell to the floor.
 “Seiya?” the person asked.
 “Haruka!” Seiya said recognizing the voice, “It’s the
Mall Ghost again!”
 Haruka pushed Seiya off and saw the mall ghost coming
full speed towards them.
 “RUN!” she screamed as she ran dragging Seiya behind
her.
 “You...run...so...fast,” Seiya said out of breath.
 They made it to the department store where their
friends were sleeping, and they felt the
Mall Ghost catching up to them.
 “Help!” Seiya screamed as he ran past Taiki and Yaten
who were sitting up on their
beds.
 “What is going on?” Michiru asked sleepily.
 “The mall ghost!” Haruka shouted as she ran in
circles around Michiru’s bed, thinking the
Mall Ghost was behind her.
 “Not that again. Stop this nonsense you guys!”
Michiru shouted. They had ruined her
beauty sleep, and that was not good.
 Seiya and Haruka stopped and looked around. The mall
ghost was nowhere in sight.
  “Where did it go?” Seiya asked.
 “You guys are just hallucinating! Now go to sleep!”
Yaten said.
 “Ya, good night!” Taiki said lying down and starting
to snore.
 Yaten lied down too, and Michiru glared at Haruka and
Seiya for a few minutes before
she fell asleep.
 “It’s going to get us!” Haruka whispered.
 “I’m so scared,” Seiya said.
 “It’s ok, we have eachother,” Haruka said.
 They tip-toed over to the pillow bin thing that was
full of pillows, and attempted to hide in
it. As long as the ghost didn’t see them, it wouldn’t
hurt them.
 “I can’t breathe!” Seiya gasped after a few minutes
in the pillow bin.
 “OOMfumplumm?” Haruka asked.
 “What?” Seiya asked.
 Haruka pulled a pillow out of her mouth and tried
again, “I think it’s safe,” she whispered,
“Should we go back?”
 “Ya, let’s get out of here,” Seiya agreed.
 They walked out of the pillow bin, and hopped onto
their separate beds. Haruka fell
asleep right away, and after a while, Seiya did too.
 Haruka woke up to someone tugging on her shirt.
 “Huh? what? SEIYA!!! What are you doing?” she
practically started to scream, but
remembered Michiru and whispered.
 “I had a nightmare,” Seiya whispered.
 “Oh? It’s ok. You can sleep here,” then realizing she
was being too nice, “Just don’t try
any funny stuff!”
 “Really? Thanks!” he said. He fell asleep and soon
Haruka did too.
*******************************************
 “AWW! How cute! Look at them!” Yaten was saying.
 Haruka woke up to see Seiya sleeping at her side.
 “I know. This is a Kodak moment. We need a camera!”
Taiki said.
 “Uh..hi?” Haruka said. She saw Michiru glaring at
her. 
 “What were you doing?” she demanded.
 Seiya had woken up and he answered, “I had a
nightmare, Haruka let me sleep here.”
 “Oh,” Michiru said, her expression softening. “How
nice of you Haruka. And only
yesterday you two were sworn enemies.”
 “What?!?! I..I..” Haruka said. She couldn’t’ be nice
to him all of a sudden.
 “It’s ok. We understand,” Yaten said.
 “Let’s get some breakfast!” Taiki suggested.
 “ ‘k” Haruka said reluctantly.
 They walked over to the food court, and gasped at the
sight of the fallen chairs and
tables.
 “What exactly were you guys doing last night?” Yaten
asked.
 “It was the Mall Ghost, I tell you! The Mall
Ghost!!!!” Seiya said trying desperately to get
them to believe him.
 “Yes. The Mall Ghost is just so horrible. It only
wants to get us!” Haruka cried out.
 “We need to get food to these two, pronto. They’re
hallucinating,” Taiki said.
 “Haruka, I think too much mall is bad for you. Just
eat something, and live through this
day, and when we go home, I’ll give you a special
treat,” Michiru said.
 “But it’s true! There is a mall ghost!” Haruka said.
 They were dragged to the table and forced to eat
breakfast. Michiru decided that while
she was at the mall, she might as well try on clothes,
so she walked off. Haruka offered to go
with her. Michiru would protect her if the Mall Ghost
came. 
 “Haruka, don’t leave me here! The Mall Ghost will get
me!” Seiya said as Haruka was
about to follow Michiru.
 “Then come along. Michiru can protect both of us,”
Haruka stated.
 “Ok!” Seiya agreed.
 Yaten and Taiki were going to check out the music
store. Seiya and Haruka followed
closely behind Michiru, and the whole day, they gave
her advice on clothes and colors that
looked good on her.
 “Well, I didn’t know you guys were such clothes
experts!” she exclaimed.
 “Well, we aren’t, it’s just that we need something to
keep our minds off the Mall Ghost,”
Seiya said.
 “I’m glad we’re getting out of here tomorrow,”
Michiru said, “you guys would go insane if
you stayed in here any longer than that.”
 “Michiru, why don’t you believe me?” Haruka asked.
“Do you think I’m lying to you?”
 “No. You hallucinated seeing a ghost. I understand.
If I didn’t love the mall so much, I
would start hallucinating too.”
 “I’m hungry,” Seiya interrupted. 
 “Let’s head down to the food court,” Michiru
suggested.
 They all walked over to the food court where Taiki
and Yaten were just about to start
eating.
 “Join us!” they called out.
  “This is delicious!” Taiki said biting into a frozen
hamburger.
 Everyone made gagging noises except for Michiru. She
wrinkled her nose slightly, but
didn’t say anything.
 After they all ate, they decided to look for another
place to sleep. The beds they had
slept on the night before had been uncomfortable.
After several department stores, they finally
found one with decent beds. They all chose a bed, and
as they were about to fall asleep, the dull
overhead lights blinked out.
 “What was that? Why is it so dark?” Taiki asked.
 “The overhead lights went out,” Seiya called out from
somewhere in the darkness.
 It was pitch black and no one could see. 
 “Just go to sleep you guys, and we’ll be able to see
in the morning,” Michiru said.
 Haruka heard Taiki’s snoring, and then she heard
Michiru’s soft, even breathing. She
figured everyone was asleep, so she closed her eyes
and tried to fall asleep herself. She woke
up to see a bright light over her. She looked up at
it, and saw the Mall Ghost about to attack her.
She couldn’t say anything. She was frozen to the spot,
and her voice had left her. The Mall
Ghost was about to bring her ice-cold hand down on
Haruka when Seiya came and pushed
Haruka out of the way. He rolled out of the way just
in time. 
 “RUN!” he whispered as loud as he could. He didn’t
want to wake anyone up.
 Haruka didn’t know where to go. The only light was
coming from the ghost, and it didn’t
cover much else. She ran blindly knocking down several
pieces of furniture, and crashing into
several shelves. The noise woke everyone else up, and
Taiki got out a candle that he happened
to find on the shelf next to him, and he lit it with
the matches he had also just happened to find.
He saw Haruka on top of a very frightened Seiya. 
 “It’s gonna get us!” Seiya was screaming.
 “Run!” Haruka shouted, still lying on the floor on
top of him.
 “You guys, this has gone too far!” Yaten said, “Stop
with this mall ghost business. Let us
sleep!”
 “Haruka! I’m beginning to think that you’re using
this mall ghost stuff to use as an excuse
for...well...how shall I say it...lying on top of
Seiya!” Michiru said.
 *Teardrop* on everyone.
 “Michiru, how can you say something like that. You
are the only one I love. But there is a
mall ghost. It was chasing us all over the place!”
Haruka said
 “Then where is it now?” Taiki asked.
 “Um...” Seiya said.
 “It tends to disappear when you guys come around,”
Haruka said.
 “Ah...I see,” Yaten said sarcastically.
 “Just go back to sleep you guys,” Michiru said.
 “We’re out of here tomorrow!” Taiki exclaimed. Then
he started snoring.
 Everyone fell back asleep and as Haruka was crawling
into her bed, one of Taiki’s
snores blew the candle out.
 She felt something jump onto her. 
 “WHAT?” she whispered as loud as she could.
 “Sorry,” Seiya said, “I thought the ghost was coming
or something.”
 “Oh, well you can sleep here, but I don’t think
Michiru would like that.”
 “But I don’t know where my bed is,” he whined.
 “Ok ok ok ok, stay here. Go to sleep now. Goodnight,”
Haruka said, and with that she
closed her eyes and attempted to fall asleep. It
seemed only a few minutes later that Seiya was
shaking her, trying to wake her up.
 “What is it?” she whispered.
 “The Mall Ghost!” Seiya squeaked. Haruka looked over
her shoulder, and saw the Mall
Ghost standing about 30 feet away from them. 
She was singing:
“My little friends
I’m coming to get you
don’t run
don’t hide
just wait for me
soon, I’ll be there
you’ll see”
 
 “Ah..” Seiya started but Haruka clapped her hand over
his mouth.
 “Don’t say anything!” she whispered.
 Together they sat there, staring intently at the Mall
ghost, wondering if it would ever see
them. Light starting flooding through the windows, and
the Mall Ghost faded away.
 Seiya scrambled to his bed, just in time for Michiru
to wake up. She looked at Haruka
and Seiya and looked at how pale and frightened they
were. 
 “You guys must of had a tough night with the mall
ghost, huh?” she asked.
 They didn’t answer. 
 “I’m so tired,” Haruka whined.
 “Me too,” Seiya said.
 “You guys should try sleeping,” Yaten who had just
woken up said.
 “Yeah, it helps,” Taiki said.
 “Come on!” Michiru said looking at a clock by her
bed, “The mall is opening in one hour!”
 They all trooped down to a main exit and waited. 
 “I think we should hide so no one knows we’ve been in
here,” Yaten says.
 “Yeah, and then run out when no one’s looking,” Taiki
added.
 “Good idea,” Michiru said as she led them all the a
hiding place.
 A lady walked in and walked over to the cash
register. Everyone ran out while she wasn’t
looking, and they didn’t stop until they reached their
cars, which, unknowingly, they had parked
beside eachother.
 “FRESH AIR!” Haruka shouted as she breathed deeply.
 “I live!” Seiya shouted.
 “We live!” Haruka shouted as she and Seiya started
dancing.
 “They’re happy to get out,” Yaten said. Then he
looked at Taiki who was kissing the
cement ground. “So is he,” Yaten added.
 “Seiya, I just wanted to say that, well..you aren’t
that bad...and well, I want us to be
friends from now on. Deal?” Haruka asked.
 “Deal,” Seiya said happily.
 Everyone got into their cars, and drove away. Inside
the mall, the Mall Ghost sat, staring
out the window, watching them leave.
 
“You escaped my friends
but its not the end
I’m sure you’ll be back to the mall
don’t’ hesitate to get locked in again
I had a lot of fun through it all”
