Serena walked with Sebastian to the happy couple and giggled as Anna pulled him into a headlock in reply. She liked her new friends, they made her smile, really smile. For the first time in what seemed like forever, she was smiling... It was refreshing too, to have two of these three friends know her secret. Even if Anna only had assumptions. Not to mention, Gunner, the only still oblivious to it all, seemed more likely to get a plane to Italy and beat up her father and his friends than cast her out. Even that morning, when Sebastian pushed aside her hair and saw those scars... She thought the reality of it would come crashing down... That he'd leave when he saw just how far gone she really was. He hadn't though... He'd called her beautiful and she felt it around him. 

She waved to Anna when she greeted her, she seemed good, better than she was the day before. Serena was glad. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, trying to will herself to be more comfortable around the girl. Around her friend. She looked at Sebastian, "I hope you have some good mood left. I have to spend the day with you," She teased, patting his shoulder with her free hand as her other rested on his arm as he guided toward the gate.

Gunner on the other hand laughed at his comparison, following behind, "So... It is pretty easy," He joked. Then nodded his head, "Owe you, ya, ya."

Gunner wrapped his arm around Anna's shoulders as she whispered to him about Guardian Belikov, who had appeared in the car, and looked at her, "It is Guardian Belikov... are you surprised?"

When they reached the mall, Gunner was determined not to go Guardian Robot on Anna. This was supposed to be a get away from all of the work. Besides nothing was going to happen in the middle of the day. He looked over at Serena and Sebastian and smirked, "I believe we have little choice in it."

Gunner didn't have much interest clothes, most of his things were in good enough condition that he wasn't in desperate need of anything. Except maybe a pair of runners. So instead, he walked around with Anna, holding her hand, while still keeping an eye on Sebastian. He knew that Guardian Belikov was also watching him along with Serena on close guard but he wanted to make sure. Nothing was going to happen at the mall.... Not while he was here.

Serena, on the other hand, was in desperate need of winter clothing. The clothes she had could handle an Italian winter. She could tell already that she would not last through the winter with what she had. So, she walked with Sebastian, who seemed more than happy to help her find Montana winter worthy clothing.

They put their searches on hold soon enough, however, to get pretzels. Serena stuck her bag, which had a pair of winter boots, under the table and nibbled at her pretzel. Gunner looked at Anna at the mention of what movie to see, "Sebastian and I are gentlemen... I'm a gentleman... ladies choice."

Serena looked at Anna, "What is... um... playing at the... cinema?"
