At Stephanies house

As Emily arrives at Stephanies house, she nervously ponders how to approach the topic with Stephanie. While she isn't worried that her best friend would think any less of her, she worries much more about whether Stephanie will be able to handle it with the necessary seriousness.

Stephanie has always been a prankster. The victims of her mischievous activities usually being those close to her. But she always had it out for Emily specifically, because her best friends introverted nature made it particularly easy to embarrass her.

One example of these mischievous pranks would be the time not to long ago, when the two of them went shopping in the mall and Stephanie suggested to pick out some things for Emily to try on. To get her to play along she had to promise her suspicious friend that she wouldn't pick out any suggestive clothes. Therefore she settled to unannounced pull the door to Emilys cubicle wide open whenever she brought her new things to wear.

It took Emily quiet awhile to pick up on her best friends antics, pushing any suspicion of malicious intent aside by assuming airheaded carelessness or elevated excitement to be the cause. The repetition eventually tips her off, especially since Stephanie seemingly hadn't learned to be more careful once she revealed Emilys pantyclad curves to anyone in the dressing area. Unfortunately it happened to be a crowded day at the mall and there numerous boyfriends around, accompanying their girlfriends and more than grateful for the entertainment the embarrassed beauty provided. Stephanie was, as expected, fast to dismiss any accusation of wrongdoing on her part, aswell as any other of her crimson blushing friends concerns.

The same thing repeated itself at another two stores before Emily put an end to it by adamantly conveying that they had to stop shopping if they wanted to be able to carry the bags home.
