Annie and Emily navigated through the crowded mall, weaving between busy shoppers and colourful displays. Emily was in full rant mode, her voice tinged with exasperation as they passed yet another aisle filled with superhero merchandise.
"Seriously, Annie, do we really need to buy everything related to Spider-Man?" Emily asked, her tone half-joking, half-serious as she gestured towards the Spidey-themed party hats, plates, and balloons that Annie was enthusiastically grabbing off the shelves.
Annie grinned, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Of course we do! It's a Spider-Man-themed birthday party. This is what Ryan wanted, and we're going to make sure it's perfect."
Emily sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes. "You know, we could've just stuck a Spider-Man sticker on the cake and called it a day. But nooo, we have to go all out."
