Shoe Skating

I have a pair of shoes, at least 5 years old. They're so old that the sole is all worn out and I have almost no traction whatsoever with them. Last night I had a dream involving these shoes. I was on a trip with some friends; for some reason I assumed we were in Las Vegas because that's where we always go, but instead of a casino in the lobby of the hotel we were staying at, there was a giant shopping mall. The mall had this smooth marble floor and because I had those old shoes on, it was like walking on ice. Except I never lost my balance. I did not slip, just slide. I could even propel myself as if I were wearing ice skates or roller blades. So that's what I did throughout the mall: skate. It was too fun not to do. As I passed by people, I heard them wonder how I did it. Most figured I just had those shoes with the small wheels in them, but some were simply confused.

At one end of the mall, I saw this one shop that interested me. I can't remember what I thought it was, but I know I didn't expect it to be a mini skate park. There were several teenagers in there, skateboarding on worn out wooden floors and ramps. My shoes didn't work as well here as they did in the mall, but they still worked relatively well. I played around there for a little bit before noticing one of my friends in a corner with several other people. There was a table and TV set up and they were playing what looked like Street Fighter IV. I talked with my friend for a bit, showing off my old sneakers before going back to play in the mall again. I "skated" off and that's when the dream ended...
