She stood motionless next to the statues in the center of the mall. The trickle of water in the fountain around the platform on which the statues stood allowed her to focus on something other than the constant chatter from the nearby food court. For this to work, she knew she would have to become invisible to everyone walking by. She worked best in total silence, but this would have to do.
The odd stares were becoming less frequent as she changed her appearance. For most walking by now, she was merely another statue. Soon, nobody could distinguish her from the other playful statues around her. The human mind was so easily manipulated.
Now that she had shielded herself from notice, it was time to see what fun she could have with the mall-goers. The Starbucks kiosk nearby seemed to be as good a place as any to begin her experiment.
Without moving, she sent out her awareness to probe the minds of the unsuspecting Starbucks patrons. There were 5 tables in all, with umbrellas in the middle that were quite unnecessary given the fact that it was an indoor mall. Perhaps with the right cajoling those could be used in the grand scheme of things.
As she analyzed each table, she was delighted to find that each of them was an adult. She sighed internally, as she did not feel right about bringing children into the mess that was about to occur. After a quick sweep, she took a deeper look into each of their minds.
The first table she scrutinized held a blossoming romance. Giddily, she probed a little deeper to see how they truly felt. Though a creature of passion, she had a soft spot for aiding in lovers affairs.
The girl's name was Sarah. She was quite petite, timid, and whimsical. Though she has a gorgeous body, she did not have much in the way of cleavage. What she did have, she chose to cover up because she felt that it was undesirable. The woman at the statue realized that these insecurities bothered her, and made the resolution to remedy them. The girl had just turned 18 that weekend and was thrilled that the boy of her dreams had finally asked her out.
