Where's My.....OH NO!!! (chapter 3)

D: Sure. Um, where to?
R: Well, Nikki and I were going to go malling. But I'm sure you wouldn't just want to look at girls in dressing rooms all day, so if you'd rather do something else...
D: No, dressing rooms are fine.
R: *biting lip* Are you positive?
D: Very.

So they headed off to ABC. Dylan really didn't seem to mind being with them. He drifted to the guy's section while the girls tried their picks on.

R: Nikki, how does this look?
N: Oh my gosh, Ror, that looks amazing!!! Here, you go change and pay, I'm going to get a slushie.
R: See ya, Nikki.

She changed out of the dress and headed out of the dressing room to search for Dylan.

R: Dylan? Dylan! Where are you?
D: *coming from behind a rack of clothes* Hey, Rory. What are you doing here in the men's section?
R: Well, I was done, but I figured I owed you for making you come here. So it's your choice when we leave.
D: Cool, I'll be done in just a second. Where's your friend?
R: Oh, Nikki? She's getting a drink.
D: Awesome. I'm going to pay.
R: I'll be outside on one of the benches.

He kissed her cheek and left for the counter. Blushing and stumbling, Rory made her way out of ABC. Just as Dylan came out, she jumped up in a fit of remembrance.

D: *teasing* Happy to see me?
R: No. Well, yeah, but I just forgot my bag in the changing room.
D: I can wait.
R: That wouldn't be fair to you.
D: It's plenty fair. Just hurry.
R: *laughs for a moment* Alright, just a minute.

She kissed his cheek, and he blushed as she had. Then, giggling, she ran back to the dressing room she had been in.

R: *shocked* What?! But this is where I had been...

Her bag was gone! Not a purse, exactly, because she wasn't so girlyish, but a bag was useful. Rory searched all the rooms, but it wasn't there. She went back to Dylan, swearing. He seemed to be about to make a teasing comment, but didn't by the look on her face.

D: What's wrong?
R: My bag. It's gone.
