Christmas Shopping (OPEN)

[Tina Cohen-Chang]

Tina was anything but used to buying Christmas gifts. She had been with Mike for about 5 or so months now, but couldn't come up with an idea. She loved to shop, but then again it was easy to go to the mall and pick out what she liked. Going to the mall and picking out something for someone else always made her nervous. Last year, even though she wasn't even with Artie at the time, in hopes that he would forgive her she bought a cushion for his wheelchair seat, new gloves for wheeling, and wheels that light up for the front 2 wheels. He accepted them, and he really liked them. She obviously couldn't get anything like that for Mike, yet alone an "I'm sorry" present. She had to get the perfect gift. She wandered in and out of the stores, seeing kids she recognized from school working and looking at her strangely as she wandered around. Maybe something would just pop out at her that would make her think, "MIKE!". Nothing did. She kept wandering until she figured it out. She went to the music store in the mall, bought a book full of amazing duets, new and old, in sheet music form. Then she decided cleats would be something he needed also. His were worn from this season. A plaid fedora so he can add more of his amazing hat moves to each dance and she was set. The book wasn't just so they could sing together though. She knew how nervous he was about singing in glee club, so she figured giving him singing lessons would be the best present. Plus it would allow them to spend time together, and maybe even sing together at regionals if they worked at it. Sam and Quinn were moving up in the glee club, and she didn't want to be the only couple who couldn't really sing together. Although she would love to dance with him on stage, and she was good, she knew Brittany was better and that meant that they would never be allowed to perform together. Maybe he could teach her how to dance also. She quickly ran into her car after making her purchases. She had to hurry over to Mike's house. She was scheduled to have Dim Sum with his mom... again. Hopefully no chicken feet involved this time.

[Regan Holbrook]

Regan wasn't fond of malls. In fact, she hated them. They always seemed to be out of whatever she was looking for or they never seemed to have her size when it came to clothing. She tended to shop at the little boutiques around Lima for all her items. They were smaller and she knew that she had more of a chance of finding everything. But today, she found herself at the Lima Mall searching the stores for Christmas presents for her friends and family. She knew exactly what she was going to buy Sam. Ever since that day in the choir room, they had become fast friends and she valued that friendship. Most of the Glee Club didn't even know her name. She figured that was mainly her own fault. She could be terribly shy when it came to meeting new people and introducing herself.

She walked into Spencer's and looked around. Not for gift ideas, god no, but she just couldn't help but laugh at everything she found. It was the perfect store to buy a gift for someone you wanted to embarrass and she would love to see the look on people's faces when they received them. She smiled to herself as she turned and left. She headed into the next store over, Hot Topic, and started rummaging through the shirts. Of course, they were all out of medium shirts. Typical, she thought as she headed down the escalator and into the music store. She had chipped her mouthpiece when she dropped her saxophone and she needed to replace it before the Christmas concert.

She headed into the aisle where the sheet music was located and thought she saw Tina but decided not to say anything. She would be really embarrassed if it turned out not to be her. She picked up a couple of sets of blank sheet music and then, after finding the right mouthpiece, she paid for her purchases. She left the store and headed for the food court. This is going to be an all day adventure, she thought, as she ordered a few slices of pizza and sat down to eat.

OOC: Open to anyone who wants to talk to her.
