Astoria felt like she understood why the place was called a shopping complex. There was no better term for it. All the staircases, so many floors and stores, as far as the eye could see. It was the ultimate shopping destination, Astoria thought. How the heck had they managed to build this thing on a ship?

Astoria turned to Felix and was cheered up by the fact that he too, looked a little stunned. "Okay..." he said. "Let's try tackling this maze, and get to your store."

"Or, let's ask that nice lady in the white uniform over there for directions and hope that what she gives us turns out to be accurate," Astoria said and walked over to a lady, who was apparently part of the staff. The lady was glad to help. Astoria listened attentively to what the lady said and went back to Felix after thanking her.

"Third floor, fifth shop on the left," she said, triumphantly. They followed the instructions given and found themselves in the right place. Astoria couldn't help feeling relieved. She was led into the punching bag section of the store, while Felix followed close behind. He kept himself busy looking at some boxing gloves while Astoria looked at the bags, trying them out one by one.

She tried a series of punches and kicks on each bag before finally settling for a 40-pound standing bag. She payed for it and lifted it up. Felix rushed forward to help. They ended up holding one end each as they headed back to the suite. Felix helped her install the punching bag in her room. They stepped back admiring their handiwork.

"That's done," Felix said, cheerfully. "Now, how about showing me some of your skills?"
