"If we're taking suggestions then the mall might be a cool place to hang out. We can do idle shopping and then grab lunch a little later." Broly said as Junebug came out, "Goo'day Junbug." he said and quickly turned back to Bio.

"How about it June? Want to go to the mall?" Bio asked her. "Yes, I think that would be a great place to hang out." Junebug answered.

"Then to the mall!" Broly said pointing a finger into the air. They got the normal cab and it wasn't long before they were in front of the mall, "What store shall we hit first? Music store?"

"That sounds good." Junebug told them. "I'd also like to visit the flower shop." Bio stood by Junebug's side and didn't say much, just going along with the others.

"Then let's go their first." Broly said leading the way to the nearest map and looking up where the flower shop was. This time it was in the opposite direction then they went before but it was across the way from the album store. He and Twilight walked side by side on their way to the flower shop.

"Wow, they have a great selection." Junebug said heading off into the store. Bio browsed around the entrance, knowing that June would take her time around the flowers.

Broly and Twilight walked into the store together but quickly branched off. Twilight looked through the only book in the store, a catalog of the mail order flowers and bouquets. Broly perused through the many flowers, picking one up here and there. Eventually he had a regular bouquet of light and dark purple and white flowers with a few hot pink ones. He bought it and, enjoying the added dexterity of fingers, wove the flowers into a makeshift crown which he silently placed on Twilights head, breaking her concentration from her book. She looked up and noticed the crown. Broly pulled out a mirror from behind him and held it out for Twilight. "Does Princess Twilight like?" "Yes, Princess Twilight approves." Twilight responded with a regal and childish grin and they both laughed.

"Oh my!" A mare next to Bio exclaimed suddenly. "Is that an engagement bracelet?" Bio looked around before it dawned on him she was talking to him and referring to the bracelet still around Junebug's leg. "Uh um... yes." He answered. "It's stunning, very nice!" The mare continued. "Pettal! Come look at this engagement bracelet!" She called to a nearby mare and her friend stepped nearer to have a look. "Such a fine bracelet Lavender." Petal told her friend. "You always have an eye for such things. Who's the lucky colt?" The mare asked Bio. "Oh? Um... that's her... him over there." Bio pointed towards Junebug. The two mares stared at Junebug with wide eyes. "A human." Lavender said. "Indeed." Petal replied. "And such an... awkward looking one." Lavender said. "What do you mean?" Bio asked narrowing his eyes. "Well... it really isn't any of our business." Lavender said stepping up next to Bio. "But are you sure you want to marry a human?" "What's wrong with that?" Bio snapped. "Nothing!" Petal said walking up on the other side of Bio. "But it's a little... embarrassing, don't you think? Here you are, a pretty girl, having to stoop to marrying a human." "Now just a second!" Bio said, but was interrupted again. "Oh darling!" Petal told him. "We know all about it! You're in love with him. There's nobody better." "But that's just what he wants you to think." Lavender said. "Humans are very good with words, with saying just the right thing." "And lying." "But they're never satisfied with anything. That's why they are so dangerous." "And why so many marry outside their species." "Before you know it he's off to another land." "Continent even." "Leaving you behind with a broken heart." "And not to criticize your taste, but this human looks particularly, unclean." "As ugly as a brick." "You can do so much better. Get yourself a good colt or if you insist, at least a better human." "You should listen to Lavender, she has an eye for this kind of thing." "We're just looking out for you, Darling. We want what's best for you. At least think about it, wont you?" "We know you'll make the right decision." "We'll see you around and we hope that everything works out fine." "Goodbye!" Petal waved as the two mares walked off, leaving Bio dumbstruck and looking at the two mares with wide eyes and despair.

Broly and Twilight saw the entire scene unfold from through a shelf holding pots. Broly started cracking his fingers and took a step towards the door but was stopped by Twilight's hoof on his chest, "They're not worth it. Let's just see how this unfolds." She said in a whisper, not taking her eyes off Bio. Broly just sat and kind of brooded on what they said.

Bio's expression became emotionless, he turned around and walked away. He ended up outside the shop and sat down on a bench near the entrance.
Junebug had picked out a few flowers and was waiting in line to pay for them, bumping into a pony every now and then and apologizing repeatedly when she did.

Broly put a hand on Twilights shoulder as he walked out of the store. He took a seat beside Bio and didn't say anything. Twilight walked over and joined Junebug in line.

"I'm so used to seeing ponies in front of me that I keep bumping into them." Junebug told Twilight. "It's a little weird."
Bio sat quietly waiting for Junebug.

Twilight laughed, "Yes, most ponies aren't 6 feet tall."
"You going to talk on your own or am I going to need to get all psychological on you?" Broly asked Bio, looking right at him.

"It feels kinda, well, lonely I guess, staring out over the ponies." Junebug told Twilight.
"I'm fine." Bio said shortly.

"Heh, I'm a king of self control and even I wantdd to make those two mares disappear. If what they said truely didn't bother you then we need to talk about why not. Theres a good and a bad reason for that to not effect you and its important to make sure its for the right reason."
"Bio's a protective type. A Shepherd stands over his sheep but never feels lonley. I think thats how Bio looks at the world." Twilight said looking over to the door. "But thats not to say there arent things thaf can make him feel lonley, I'm sure."

"I'm. Fine." Bio said through gritted teeth.
"I always imagined Bio as a little lost lamb." Junebug told Twilight. "And me too. Two little lost lambs finding each other." Junebug blushed. "But I guess that's a little sappy."

"The ram finding his ewe. Heh, What a romantic concept. It's definitely one way to look at it."
Broly closed his eyes to think about the situation and decided not to press the issue. It would come to light when the time was right.

"But still, I wonder if Bio ever gets lonely among all us ponies." Junebug said as she paid for the flowers. "Even Broly decided to use a pony form."

"Yeah, and Bio doesn't even have that option. I'm not sure he would take it if he did though. I think Bio's ok with the way he is now, even if the opinions of others have a strong hold on him." Twilight said giving a nod to the cashier as they made their way outside.

"You're right." Junebug told Twilight. Bio stood up as the girls walked up to them. "Here you go." Junebug handed Bio a flower. "Since I'm you, I thought I should buy you a flower." She smiled. "Thanks June." Bio told June and put the flower in his mane. "So how do you look?" "Pretty." Junebug laughed. "I never thought I'd be jealous of myself." Junebug looked at Bio. "Are you alright?" She asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Where do you want to go next?" Bio asked the group.

Broly cleared his throat as he stood up, "TO THE MUSIC STOOOOOOORE." he yelled out pretending to strum an air guitar. He ran across the hall to the music store. Twilight facehoofed and followed after him as a brisk trot. "Broly, No yelling in the store." she said in a slightly higher tone though making sure not to yell herself.\

Junebug laughed as she followed after them to the music store while Bio followed quietly next to her.

Broly perused through the store and was briskly walking along the many rows of CD's, cassettes, and records for anything by DJ Pon3 or Octavia. He could have gone straight to their section of the store but he preferred it this was in case some other artist caught his eye. Sometimes, going in blind is the best way to find something new. Twilight quickly caught up with his and walked along side him, looking at the music selection but not for anything in particular.

Junebug headed over to the romance section while Bio stayed near the door again, this time making sure to avoid other ponies.

Broly noticed Junebug coming in and Bio stopping at the door. He figured he would try a different approach. With the romance section he closed his eyes and walked slower for a moment before picking the pace back to where it was before. His hands were hovering over the cd's as he went through the store and when he got to Junebug he put his hand in front of her and a small folded piece of paper fell from his palm and on top of the Romance CD's. He continued walking without stopping and Twilight, though curious, continued behind him. Broly found his section of Octavia and Vinyl classics in the next isle over; they usually had their own sections in stores. He watched Junebug and Bio out of the corner of his eye as he more meticulously scanned through each CD, looking for something new. On the paper was written:
It was a small memo written in white on black paper.

Junebug read the note and looked over to Bio who was still keeping away from other ponies. There was a sad look on Junebug's face and she quickly walked over to him. "What's wrong Bio?" She asked him. "Nothing's wrong." Bio said not making eye contact. "I can see something's bothering you and not just the whole swapped bodies thing. Broly and Twilight can see something is wrong as well. Everypony can see it and besides, you're a terrible lair, especially when you're lying to me." Bio looked down to the ground, not saying anything. "Come with me." Junebug told him and grabbed his hoof, pulling him towards the back of the music store where it was quieter with fewer ponies around.

Broly and Twilight were peeking over the shelf as Bio and June walked by; though trying to be inconspicuous it was as obvious as a bush with four hooves walking behind a Pinkie Pie. They continued scooting along and were looking from under the shelf this time, secretly spying on Bio and June, this time cloaked to invisibility by Broly.

"What's going on Bio?" Junebug said kneeling down to be at eye level with him. "You're usually able to talk to me, even when you can't talk to Broly or Raider you've always been able to come to me." Bio kept his eyes on the floor. Junebug reached out and picked up the hoof with the bracelet on it. "We're getting married Bio. What's so bad that you can't tell me after you asked me you want me to marry you?" "June." Bio finally said. "It's just, I don't know what to think. I'm confused. I don't know what I should be feeling." "Then tell me what's gotten you like this?" "I don't know what you'll do if I tell you?" "You know I'll always love you no matter what." "I know, and that's way I'm confused." Junebug put her hands on Bio's shoulders. "Bio. Tell me. Please." Bio let out a sigh, closed his eyes and told her everything that the two mares said.

Broly and Twilight laid in wait, watching as Junebug and Bio had their moment. A random passerby pony tripped over Brolys' leg but he pulled it in such that the pony couldn't find what he tripped over and left with a small confused look on his face.

"They said what!?" Junebug exclaimed. "If I could get my hooves on them! Bio!" She looked at Bio with concern. "You don't think I'd ever believe something like that do you?" "Of course not." Bio told her. "I know you love me, I trust you. But, if our bodies weren't switched then you'd have to be the one to listen to them. And they're saying those things because of me." "No Bio!" Junebug told him. "Don't do that! Don't go there! You mean much more to me than whatever anypony say! And nopony in Ponyville would ever say that. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't even be able to go out like we've been doing. I know you want to protect me, I know you don't want things to be hard for me, but you can't stop ponies from saying stupid things to me or your friends! But because of you I can handle it, it doesn't bother me and it doesn't hurt me. It only hurts me when you're trying to protect me by keeping yourself away from me. Please Bio, don't do that. As long as I can go to you those ponies can never hurt me, alright?" "Alright." Was all that Bio cold say, feeling sad that he thought about that in the first place and happy that Junebug was there for him when he needed it. Junebug hugged him and he hugged her back. "Sorry, I can't kiss you." She said longingly. "I understand."
