Michelle was the first to wake up Saturday morning. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the night stand beside her bed. On the attempt, Michelle accidentally knocked over a pink rhinestone picture frame. She frantically jumped out of bed and knelt down to pick it up. She could feel her eyes hot with tears when she found the picture frame broken into several pieces.
On the other side of the room, Niki opened her eyes to see what all the commotion was about. She sat up and looked over to Michelle and saw her kneeling over the broken frame and with drops of tears sliding down her cheeks. Niki knew this picture frame meant more than the world to Michelle.
She put her hands to cover her mouth and cried, �Omigosh Michelle, are you ok?� Niki kicked off her blanket and ran to Michelle�s side and drew her into a hug. �It�s been such a long time, I cant believe you�re still thinking about that,� Niki said sympathetically.
Michelle fell on Niki�s shoulders and said in between sobs, �I know, but this was the first present he ever gave me...�
�Come on, we can fix it at the mall...we�re all planning on going shopping today remember?� Niki tried her best to reassure Michelle, but the frame was clearly ruined and can no longer be fixed.
�No, don�t worry about it. I guess it�s actually time for me to really forget about him now,� Michelle said while stroking the picture that fell out of the broken frame.
'Maybe a new boyfriend will help Michelle forget about her ex' Niki thought to herself and sighed.

Kevin was sitting at the dining room table reading the morning paper when he heard footsteps making way towards him. He looked up and said, �Hey Bosco, you�re up pretty early today. Is Alec still asleep?�
Bosco stretched his arms up towards the ceiling and yawned, �Of course he�s still asleep, he spent the entire f**king night tossing and turning and talking about some girl.�
Kevin laughed, �No kidding, I could here you fools talking all the way from my room. Kept me up all night too,� Kevin said, rubbing his eyes at the same time.
�Man, and now I gotta go help Ron. He�s moving today,� Bosco groaned while grabbing a piece of toast off of Kevin�s plate.�
�GOD, what the hell were you fools doing last night? I barely got any sleep from all the noise,� Louis said as he walked out of his room wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Lucky for him, his roommates are straight.
�Good morning to you too, sunshine,� Bosco mocked with a mouthful of toast. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and exclaimed, �Shit I gotta go, Ron wants me at his house by eight and it�s already eight thirty now.� Bosco jumped up form his chair and ran to the bathroom.
�So what are you up to today?� Kevin asked while taking a sip of coffee. Louis sat down across from him.
Louis yawned and loudly sighed, �Kristy wants me to take her to the mall...�

Bobby was sitting in the living room and looking at his watch. He thought to himself, �Jeez, why did I promise to drive them to the mall today?� It was already 12:00 noon, the four girls had been up for hours and they still weren�t done getting ready. Even Michelle was taking a long time today and she�s usually the first one to finish. Jessica walked out of her room wearing a pair of low rise True Religion jeans and a white Miss Sixty tank top. She usually wears a suit to work and the weekend was the only opportunity for her to dress casual. Vicki was the next one to finish and then Niki followed. Which was surprising.
�Michelle sure is taking a long time today,� Bobby said as the three girls were putting on their shoes.
�She�s having a rough morning,� Niki said in a low voice as she was lacing up her Puma shoes.
Bobby stared at Niki with wide eyes and said, �She�s not thinking about...� Before Bobby could finish her sentence, Michelle appeared form her room. Her face was decorated with a bright smile, but her eyes told them otherwise. Michelle didn�t want her sisters and Bobby to worry.
�Are you guys talking behind my back? You better not be,� Michelle said with a pout on her face..

�Here guys, have some water before you move anymore boxes,� a pretty girl in her late twenties to early thirties said while holding out four bottle of water.
�Thanks sis, we needed that,� Ron said as he took the water with one hand and swept his other hand across his sweaty forehead. He sat down on a box labelled �video games�.
�Hey Sonija, are we getting paid for helping you and Ron move? I mean, I was here at six thirty packing,� Nicholas joked while Sammul gave him a nudge on the side. �Ouch! I was only kidding!�
Sonija smiled and said, �Sure, I�ll treat you guys to anything you wanna eat,�
�Anything?� Nicholas asked again to make sure Sonija wasn�t kidding. Sonija smiled and nodded.
�Ya baby,� Nicholas said as he gave Bosco a hi-five. Sammul shook his head, since he was a rich boy, he didn�t need people buying him food.
�You don�t need to buy them food, I already have to buy them lunch for two weeks,� Ron growled while glaring at Bosco and Nicholas.
�Hey! Sonija isn�t cheap like you,� Bosco scoffed while putting a box labelled �clothes� into the moving van.

Niki called shotgun and was sitting in the front seat of Bobby�s car. She was messing around with the radio and complained, �Why don�t they play any hip hop or rap?�
�Because it�s Hong Kong, princess,� Bobby said sarcastically.
Niki whined, �Jeez, not even a single station? One or two songs would be fine.� Niki kept turning the dial and finally stopped at a station that was playing �We Belong Together,� by Mariah Carey. Niki clapped her hands together and let out a joyous cry, �Omigosh, I love this song!�
Michelle was sitting in the backseat with Vicki and Jessica. She looked out the window to the busy streets of Hong Kong. Michelle�s thoughts drifted back to her time in New York. �That was our song...� she thought to herself.

Bobby parked his SUV in the mall�s parking lot. Niki got out first and dashed quickly to the mall�s entrance. She was in the mood for some hardcore shopping. Jessica and Vicki followed closely behind. Bobby and Michelle were not quite in the mood for shopping.
�Are you ok, kiddo? I saw you from my rearview mirror and it looked like you were gonna tear up back there. Some ice cream would cheer you up,� Bobby grinned down at Michelle while squeezing her shoulders.
Michelle bravely smiled back at him and said, �Thanks uncle Bob, I�ll be fine.� Michelle hooked arms with him and they walked into the mall. �Let�s go to the video game store,� Michelle suggested cheerfully. Bobby grinned and nodded.

�Hey Jessica, this gown would look great on you,� Niki said excitedly, �Didn�t you say you need one for the ball Gigi invited you to? This is perfect for that occasion.� Niki was holding up a silky white strapless gown. It was simple, yet very elegant.
�That looks pretty, let me try it on,� Jessica said as she took the gown out of Niki�s hands.

�Come on Louis, I need to find a nice dress for a ball I have to go to next week,� a young girl said as she grabbed Louis� arm and dragged him into a store.
Louis sighed and followed her into a classy dress shop. It felt pretty weird being in a woman�s store. After all Louis was a macho kind of guy and what if his co-workers saw him in there?
Kristy grabbed his hands and led him to the fitting room, �Wait here, I wanna try on this dress,� Kristy said cheerfully while holding up a silky white dress. Louis sighed and sat down in a little chair by the fitting room. He rested his elbows on his knees and looked around.
___________________________________________________________
�OH MY GOD, you look great Jess!� Niki was gushing all over the place when Jessica walked out of the fitting room. The dress was made for her. It was free flowing and very defined looking on her perfect figure. The dress dusted the floor every time Jessica walked.
�For real? Does it make me look fat?� Jessica asked, rubbing a little wrinkle out of the dress.
�NO! You can even ask that guy over there,� Niki said pointing the back of a man�s head.
Louis turned around after hearing someone mention him, after all, he was the only guy in the whole place. He rotated his head around and his heart almost stopped when his eyes fell upon Jessica twirling around in front of the three way mirror. It seemed like everything just turned into slow motion. He laggard out of the chair and walked towards her direction. It was actually a miracle that Louis managed to walk since all his mind could only focus on was Jessica.
�Wow, you look amazing...� Louis managed to whisper when he was about three feet away from her. Jessica was startled when she heard his voice, and her cheeks immediately started to flush.
�Thanks,� was the only thing Jessica could force herself to say.
They stared at each other for several seconds, but was soon interrupted by a female voice.
�Louis, how do I look in this dress?� The voice belonged to Kristy, who was wearing the exact same dress as Jessica. Kristy walked up to Louis and tuned a full three hundred and sixty degrees in front of him.
�Well?� Kristy stared at Louis, demanding an answer.
�Uhhh...you look fine,� choked Louis.
�Just fine? Humph...don�t I look better than her? She looks fat,� Kristy said while pointing her index finger at Jessica.
Jessica could feel her temperature rise. She weighs about a hundred pounds max! If she wasn�t a cop, she probably would�ve punched Kristy already.
�Haha, talk about fat, looks like an entire bakery is under that dress,� Niki sneered while glaring at Kristy. She hates it when people insult anyone in her family.
Kristy stood there with her mouth shaped into a wide �o�. Her jaw was almost touching the ground. She was completely speechless. Nobody ever insults her. She looked at Louis who was just standing there looking scared. The defiant Captain lost all his courage when it came to women.
Jessica fumed and slammed the door to her change room. She slipped out of the dress and dragged Niki out of the store. On the way out, she didn�t even look at Louis who was still standing there, looking dumb. Kristy was whining to him as his eyes trailed after Jessica longingly when she stormed out of the store.

Vicki walked towards the food court with about ten shopping bags in each hand. She didn�t want to keep her sisters and Bobby waiting so she paced herself to a slow jog. Her feet were hurting like crazy. Wearing heels to the mall was not a good idea. Vicki didn�t realize there was a puddle on the ground, and lost her footing as she was running through it. She dropped her shopping bags and could feel herself falling quickly. In the nick of time, a pair of strong arms supported her from behind, just before she could hit the hard tiles.
�Better watch out for puddles next time,� a deep voice said. Vicki turned around, in hope to find out Alec was the person who saved her. She couldn�t stop thinking about him ever since her car broke down.
�Hi, my name is Jimmy Lin,� a handsome man smiled and said when Vicki laid eyes on him.
Vicki�s heart sank when she saw that the person wasn�t Alec, but replied politely, � Thanks for helping me. My name is Vicki.�
Jimmy grinned even wider and said, �That�s a pretty name. Maybe you shouldn�t buy so many things next time, Vicki.�
�Maybe,� Vicki mumbled as she bent down to pick up her stuff.
�Here, let me help you,� Jimmy said as he bent down and reached for a bag.
�No thanks, I can manage,� Vicki replied sternly. But Jimmy was too quick for her and grabbed most of her bags before she could even touch them.
�Come on, do you wanna fall again. These things are heavy,� Jimmy said, trying to persuade Vicki. He was gazing sweetly at Vicki, hoping to be her bag boy.
Vicki gave in and nodded. Her feet were killing her and she had no choice because Jimmy was already carrying most of her bags in his hands.
�Fine, but only until I find my sisters and uncle. They�re at the food court,� Vicki said gravely.
Jimmy nodded and followed Vicki through the mall, carrying all her shopping bags. People who didn't know would very likely think Vicki and Jimmy were a couple.

Jessica could�ve caused a smoke detector to come off from the fire shooting out of her ears. Niki followed behind her trying to catch up, since Jessica�s walk could win her a medal in track. Niki was huffing and puffing when she finally caught up to Jessica. Jessica plopped down in front of a water fountain, still as angry as ever. Niki was carrying about twenty shopping bags and dropped them all at her feet and sat down by Jessica.
�You act like you just caught your boyfriend cheating on you,� Niki said in between breaths, �But that guy back is damn fine. Too bad he was with that rude girl.�
Jessica blurted, �Shut up, he�s not that great! She can have him for all I care!�
�I don�t know Jess, you turned pretty red when you saw him. And you were quite mad when you saw him with that chick,� Niki shrugged and said bluntly,�looks like my big sister has a thing for that tanned hottie.�
Jessica just glared at Niki like she was crazy, but she knew Niki was right.

�So what did you guys buy today?� Niki said, trying to liven up the atmosphere during the car ride home. Everyone was awkwardly silent.�I got the cutest Prada bag ever,� Niki said holding up a little pink handbag, trying to break the ice.
�Don�t you have, like, five of those already?� Vicki rolled her eyes and said.
�So? Another one isn�t gonna hurt. By the way Vick, I thought I saw you with a guy carrying your bags,� Niki smiled suspiciously.
�It was nothing,� Vicki said in a dull tone. Her mind and heart was somewhere else.
Bobby pulled up to there condo and exalted, �Hey, looks like someone is moving in. Probably to the apartment by ours. It�s been empty for awhile now.� Bobby pulled the e-brake and parked the car into his reserved parking spot.
They all quickly rushed into the elevator as it was about to close. �I hope the new neighbours are hot,� Niki said gleefully.
�I just hope the new neighbours aren�t assholes,� Michelle finally said making a face.
The elevator abruptly stopped at level 12 and they filed out. There were boxes and packages all over the hallway as Bobby and his nieces stepped carefully towards their own apartment, dodging the mess lying around in the hallway.
�Looks like these people are slobs,� Jessica growled.
Michelle was the last one to exit the elevator since she was digging around in her bag to fish out her keys. As her attention was taken away, a person was coming towards her carrying a huge box.
�Hey watch out!� Michelle heard a man�s voice screaming for her to get out of the way. But it was too late. The man lost his balance and dropped the box right onto Michelle�s left foot.
�YOU! What the hell are you doing here!?� Michelle screeched at the top of her lungs as she saw who the stupid doofus was. Ron was standing right in front on her face at the very moment, looking like he was just struck by lightning. Michelle was hopping around on her right foot trying not to curse.
�ME? What are YOU doing here?!� Ron shouted, just as surprised as Michelle was.
