Shadow sat back reclining in his dad's car while fooling around with the sound system. First, tuning the base so that the songs could rattle the car, then the treble , and at last the normal volume. All the while the goo goo dolls song was coming to a slow but inevitable end. The song that replaced it was Monster -skillet , and slowly his head began to bang to the song while his lips sang the words In italian  trying to rid himself of all the sorrows that rested inside his heart. All the while his mind was pleading that Rena would be a fun shopper. He just wanted to have fun before tears covered his eyes, and all meaning was soon lost.<br/><br/>At last his eyes spotted Rena walking into the garage , and carefully he turned the radio down so that it was now at talking level, rather than scream over the radio not only out of respect, but because sometimes it was fun to talk while listening to music. He watched her shift the beautiful black dress that was bought but never worn by his mother in her hands. Than walked around the car to the back right seat, and carefully placed the dress  out on the seat. It seemed she knew enough to try and keep the dress from being wrinkled. Afterwards, she slammed the back door closed , and then opened the passenger seat. A smiled crossed his face when Rena slipped inside, making sure to buckle herself into the seat, and looked over at him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I'm ready."</span>She spoke the words while shutting the door , seeming almost as somber as him. With her finally in the car , he pressed a tiny button on his key ring that was linked to the garage door. The button was in the shape of a silver skull and it was the red eye on the left, not the right plain black eye that was the button. As soon as the button was pressed , the big arch like tan ( but gray on the side they were parked ) doors opened making a loud clanging noise as they lifted up. The garage lights shut off automatically as the sun graced the garage with natural light.<br/><br/>He shifted the car into reverse making sure to wrap his arm around the back of the passenger seat , purposely allowing a finger  to brush through her hair while his head turned to make sure that he backed up straight out of the garage. Then pressed that red eye on the silver skull attached to his key chain, waiting for the garage doors to shut , his hand still placed at the tip of the passenger seat. Simply because he would need to turn his car around. " So just for the record, your hair is lovely , and that dress you chose , my mom never wore it , so no worries there." The garage doors shut , and with that he turned his head back words so tat he could twirl the car around in the large black paved driveway. They were in a spot that was wide , and circular , so it was easy for him to just spin the car around,  Two little taps on the gas and now they were facing forward.<br/><br/>His hand reluctantly dropped from the tip of the passenger seat , to grab the clutch and shift into drive. Even an automatic had a shifter, it was rather amusing to say the least. But now he was driving out of his driveway , took a left , and headed for the highway staying at a steady speed of about 50 miles per hour which was actually above the speed limit on regular roads. He twisted , turned, stopping at red lights , and stop signs. Then finally they made it onto the way. Which they had just killed about 15 minutes on the regular roads. " You do realize, you can control the radio at any point in time during this drive, "<br/><br/>His feet jammed on the break as they reached traffic , and after about 10 minutes the traffic died down, and he took a exit off the highway, drove for no longer than 3 minutes , and pulled into a parking lot in front of a huge ass mall. It looked daunting kind of. " Well welcome to the hopeville mall." He shut the car off waiting for her to get out of the car first.
