Rose was attempting the impossible. She was going to try to go to the mall without being recognized. She'd tried it before, but every time, it hadn't worked. Someone had spotted that blonde curl peeking out through her hat and screamed.
It wasn't that she didn't want to meet her fans; the complete opposite, actually. But when she thought about the last time she went anywhere without being bombarded by the paparazzi or borderline creepy guys or screaming tweenagers... It made her kind of depressed.
But this time, it would work. She wouldn't duck her head when anyone looked her in the eye. She would walk with confidence, like she had nothing to hide. Except she had everything to hide. She was Rose Howard, and she was pretty much the hot ticket item right now. Not that she would ever brag.
She adjusted her hat and got out of her car, heading in. She made it through the first ten minutes without being noticed... She smiled to herself as she walked into her favorite shoe store.

Tyler McGowan was the manager of said shoe store, trying to supplement his income while he put himself through school. It was a slow day at the mall, since it was in the middle of the week, and there was only one other person working in the store today besides him.
He looked up when he saw someone walk in. "Hi, can I help you?"

Rose smiled at him and shook her head. "No, just looking," she replied. And silently jumping for joy that it might actually work this time. I might have a normal day!

It was a few minutes before their started to be people gathering at the windows, and Tyler looked up, confused. "What the..?"

Rose looked over at him, then followed his gaze. "Oh, no," she said, under her breath. She turned to him, trying to keep calm. "Sorry, but things are about to get crazy."
She decided to just go with it, so she took off her hat and waved to everyone who was standing at the window.

Of course everyone started shrieking, and Tyler's coworker, Ben, ran to the door to shut it and lock it.
Tyler was still very confused. "I--who are you??"
Ben snorted. "Seriously Tyler? Don't you know any girls? It's Rose Howard."

"Hey, if you could just unlock the door, I can go out there," she said, raising her eyebrows. Sure it would probably create an even worse crowd, but she didn't want her fans to think she didn't want to meet them.
((I'm off to have dinner with some friends!))

((Have fun! I don't know how much I'll be on tonight, my bf's coming over, but I'll try!))
Tyler stared at her. "But...don't ya just wanna shop..?"

She shrugged, glancing back at the crowd (which obviously made them shriek some more). "They're not going to go away, so I might as well try to meet as many as I can... But... I actually would like those shoes," she said, pointing to a par of cognac colored knee-high flat boots. "Size 8 and a half?"
((Aww, YOU have fun! And don't worry about getting on here! I'm sure you and your bf need some quality time! AND BY THE WAY, we went to Ulta after dinner, and I got a little roll-on thing of T.Swift's perfume. It's YUMMY.))

((Haha, aww! I have to find it! Also, my boy's not here yet so I have some time before we go to dinner  ) Tyler was a little stunned, so he only nodded. When he came back with the shoes, he looked at her, smirking a little. "I have to be honest with ya...I have no idea who ya are..." |

"Really?" she asked, sounding stunned, sitting down to try the shoes on. "You've never heard one of my songs? Love Story, Teardrops on my Guitar, You Belong With Me, Fifteen..." She stood up once again when she had the boots on, looking in the mirror.

He just kind of blinked at her, then it dawned on him. "Oh, yeeeah...my little sisters love you."

She smiled, glancing over at him before sitting back down to take the boots off. "What're their names?"

"Bonnie and Mary Alice. Those looked good on ya, by the way." He flashed her a grin. He knew next to nothing about her music, but she was pretty.

"Yes, I will get these, thanks," she said, handing him the box and putting her shoes back on. As she followed him to the register, taking out three laminated passes. She set them on the counter, smiling. "These are for Bonnie and Mary Alice," she said, sliding them toward him. "To my show here tonight."
