For the first time in what seemed like ages, Glee was going to spend money on himself. No stealing, no mugging, no murder, just a simple stroll through a shopping district. Due to recent events, his shoes had become water logged and worn, giving his feet quite an irritating red hue. As a doctor, it was fairly obvious what the problem was. He had boot rash. The solution to this little dilemma was to purchase/obtain a new pair of shoes. He passed through the town, heading in a predetermined direction to an area focused on clothing. The market was quite large, much larger than he had anticipated. Each step he took made him cringe as the leather on his current footwear dug deeper and deeper into his flesh. This only served to irritate him, and when he became irritated, he became irrational and violent. Luckily for the people around him, he had stumbled upon the stalls he was looking for.

It was like he had stumbled into a whole other world. Stall upon stall was filled with shoes and boots of all different styles. The air itself smelled of shoe polish and air freshener. It was a drastic change from the smells of food and animals in the farmers market he had passed through. Looking at stall upon stall, the first thing he noticed were the prices. Since when were shoes so expensive? Even the simplest looking pair of work boots was almost beyond his ability to pay. If what he did was robbery, what these guys were doing was much worse. Despite his feelings towards the businesses, he had already set his mind on being a proper citizen and purchasing his shoes, that is, until he saw them. They were bright pink high heels, as flamboyant as was humanly possible, and the little white tag dangling from them was one of the most shocking things Glee had ever seen. There were six 0's on that little price tag preceded by a 3, and this blew Glee's mind. How the hell could something this small cost more than a pile of gold? It was simply unbelievable.

The only thing that Glee could comprehend about the shoes was that he wanted them. Something that expensive was worth stealing. Screw his little idea of paying for shoes. Those small pink heels were as good as his. Greedily, hands shaking in excitement, Glee reached out to grab the pair of shoes. As he did so, he kept a sharp eye up looking for anyone who might be watching. He'd be damned before he let himself be caught.

Contrary to what one might first guess, security in classier stores was often more lax than in the lesser ones. The logic was reasonable enough. The unsavory crowds who were likely to shoplift typically frequented cruder establishments where they hoped to gain small profits in exchange for undertaking small risks. Also there existed a class of store with enough money so that employees cannot constantly watch over the entirety of the inventory but not enough to afford surveillance coverage. So while the more inexperienced or nervous thieves tried their trade in pitiable little retailers, the savvy knew the easy way to fortune.

Fortunately, businesses like Stacy's could count on an unlikely ally — Starzune, or Emily, as she preferred on the days she took from her pop star lifestyle. As a teenage girl at the heart of her youth, she enjoyed various activities in her spare time, such as shopping for dresses or shopping for purses. Of course, sometimes a girl had to take a break from the same old routine and do something different, and that was why she was here today shopping for shoes. Of course, because she had to consider so many factors pertaining to shoe selection that shoplifting scum were one of the last things on her mind.

”Hey!”

As she noticed a pair of shoes so stylishly flamboyant that they instantly bypassed her debate process, she noticed someone else taking interest in them at the same time. Now this would have been utterly unacceptable under any circumstances — though some absent-minded individuals could be forgiven for not deferring to her before realizing that she was the incredible Starzune — but then she saw that the other person was distinctly male, rendering the situation that much more awkward.

”You crossdressing pervert!” Emily put her hands on the hips of her blue dress. ”I saw those first!”

The distinctly female voice startled him completely. His meager efforts at being sneaky were in vain as someone else in the store called out to him. Glee looked up quite startled just as his hand came to rest on the pair of shoes. It was a young girl, someone he knew from somewhere. He didn't know why or how, but he felt that he had seen this girl before, most likely more than once. Not only her appearance, but her voice seemed familiar as well. This brief period of thought came to a halt as she once again said something to him. "Cross dres- Wait what?" She had definitely said she had seen 'those' first. Glee's eyes shifted down to the shoes, then back up to the girl. By the way she was dressed, these flamboyant pieces of apparel seemed well within her fashion sense.

He had already grabbed the shoes, and his mind was set on stealing them. Besides, how could a little girl like her stop him from taking them? It seemed unlikely that she would hinder him in the slightest. "Not a chance." The only problem with a witness was they could tell someone else. He couldn't have security coming after him, he wasn't much suited for physical combat. The safest bet would be to silence her, and quickly be on his way. He didn't exactly know his surroundings so he needed the largest head start he could get.

Sliding his free hand into his jacket, he fumbled over some of his instruments. Seconds later, his hand emerged grasping onto his scalpel. He would be done with the girl and quickly be out of the area before anyone knew a crime had been committed. He was roughly 10 feet from the girl, but he was closing fast.

Starzune was not sure what she had expected; probably that when the creepy man was caught red-handed, he would drop the coveted shoes and scamper away, but not before apologizing profusely and complimenting her hair. As long as she was fantasizing, the pop star realized that she was thirsty and hoped he would bring her a soda, but thought that perhaps that she was crossing some kind of absurdity line even in her dreams. That was why she was taken aback when the man actually rushed toward her and it was a second before she realized that he was not actually bringing her a beverage.

Though Starzune was gifted with natural quickness, her reflexes were not on par and she was not used to danger anymore because her career had made her somewhat soft. When she saw someone bolting at her her first instinct was to freeze before deciding on a response. Threatened and without enough room to turn and run, she acted without thinking. A small voice within her warned her of the destruction that her powers would cause in this area or to the shoes themselves, but it was too slow and she was already hurling a glob of magma at the man.

Before he could reach the girl, something obstructed his vision. Something amorphous was traveling through the air, quickly in his general direction. It glowed and had a orange/red hue, with some hints of black in it. It was such an odd pattern of colors to be on something moving through the air towards his body. Glee had no idea what it was until it got closer. As the blob closed in on his body, he became aware of an intense heat that was quite uncomfortable. It grew hotter and hotter, but there was nothing he could do. this was all happening in a very slight moment, so he had no chance to even recoil. All that he uttered before it came into contact with his chest was "Shi-" The phrase would remain unfinished.

The blob of liquid earth that the young girl had sent in his direction had barely made contact with his body before it was coming out the back of him. it was piping hot magma, and it had easily burned it's way through his soft flesh. Glee was no longer aware of the intense heat that had pained him just moments before. In fact, Glee didn't feel much of anything at the moment. Before he knew it, he didn't see anything or hear anything. The last thing he was aware of was the retched smell of burning flesh and then nothing. The attack had eaten right through his body, destroying his heart and much of his organs. He hadn't stood a chance, and all for a dumb pair of shoes.

As absurd as it seems, the shoes remained unharmed. They simply fell free from his grip as he fell, landing a foot or two in front of him. They landed with a soft clunk at the foot of the girl who had relentlessly ended Glee's life. It was as if she was meant to have them from the start.

”Gross,” muttered Starzune, sticking out her tongue in disgust and retracting it when the scent of burnt flesh reached her. She looked away, not wanting to accept responsibility for what she had done; nothing was ever her fault, especially not now when he had been threatening her life first! That was right, he had deserved everything he got.

The pop star was confident in her innocence but that did not mean she wanted to deal with the media in a situation like this. Holding her breath, she squatted and retrieved her prize haughtily before turning to quickly pay and get out.

”Looks like this was a mad case of...”

She hesitated and reconsidered. No, that sounded lame and she wasn't a lame person. She walked out.
