I like it, I think thats a great idea.  *^_^* My vote is that we had already teamed up before arriving at the mall. Is that okay?

Edit: Maybe Blaine and Feather could have teamed up at first, while at the same time MC's chary was going through her traumatic experience an having that introduction. That way she can that part of her characters story, and then maybe meet us with as circumstances bring us together?
