"I should try that thrift store that get all their clothes when the movies studios clear out there warehouses." All thoughts of Lisa faded from James's mind as he hide the Medallion and headed back out his front door. "They have a ton of old costumes and various items of clothing, and it's all really reasonably priced."

James got in the car and was just starting to back up, when he heard a knock on the passenger side's window. He slammed on the breaks and saw his best friend Mark grinning back at him.

"Where you off too?" Mark asked.

"Hpe in, I have the coolest thing to tell you." James said

James explained to Mark all about the Medallion he had found and what it could do. Mark sat and stared at James as he told the story about the fantastic medallion. When James finished, Mark burst out into laughter.

"Did you even test the thing?"

"Well, no." James admitted. "But I am sure it will work."

"So you just going to by a bunch of clothes on the off chance that this 'magic' medallion really works?" Mark asked stressing the word magic

"Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, and I should have tested it, but we're here, so let's go by a few things and then we'll go test it out."

"Whatever you say. It's your money." Mark said.

Mark and James went in to the huge store and began shopping around. They quickly realized that sizes really didn't matter so they grabbed a shopping cart and started going through the isles. James was trying to see if he could find any items that had tags on them which might identify which actor may have worn them. He had no luck as most items with tags on them were quickly picked up by collectors. Mark on the other had started tossing things into the cart at random. He even managed to find a box of clothes that had just arrived from a studio and grabbed some of those items, again without really looking at them. He was running around like a madman grabbing something from the woman's department, then the kids department, then the teens and also the men's. In no time at all the cart was nearly full.

"Well, I think we have more than enough for your test." Mark joked. A large grin on his face.

James looked at the cart full of closes and shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess so." He said and started pushing the cart towards the checkout stand.

"What?" Mark said, the grin falling from his face. "You're not really buying all that, are you? Half the stuff I threw in there as a joke."

The lady who checked out the cart gave James a few strange looks as she bagged the odd assortment of clothes.

"That will be $62.16 the lady said once she had finished with the third bag.

Mark groaned as James paid the lady. They road back to James place in silence, but Mark finally spoke when they got there.

"And what if this thing doesn't work?" Mark said helping James carry the bags into James' apartment.

"Well, lets find out if it works." James said getting the medallion from its hiding place.

They dumped the bag of clothes in to a big pile in the middle of the floor. It was truly an impressive stack of an odd variety of clothes. From things that looked relatively new, to things that must have been well over fifty years old.

"Well, I guess there is just one way to do this." James said putting the medallion over his head and sitting down in front of the pile. He closed his eyes and started fishing around in the pile blindly. Finally, building up his courage, he just grabbed the first thing he could and touched it to the medallion. He felt an electric tingle run through his body and he knew that the medallion was real.

He then opened his eyes and saw that the article of clothing that he grabbed was .
