Dragging

Ikumi leads the group through the various clothes to a corner of the mall. Even from a distance, the girls see the clothes and are amazed when they stand in front of them.

"Wow are that many" Ram says incredulously and takes one look around. "In my world, you have to order everything yourself from a tailor. It costs a fortune and few people can afford multiple dresses."

Rosalina also looks at the dresses with wide eyes and gulps. "Then we're glad we're not in your world" Ikumi says with a grin. "Trust me, we'll find a cute dress for Rosalina here."

They split into 2 groups to search the department. Since they were all there measuring the sizes, they know what size Rosalina needs.

So they search the department for half an hour until they meet again in front of the dressing rooms. They picked out a total of 3 dresses.

Misa Amane from **** Note stands in front of the dressing rooms and looks at the girls with a smile. "Can I help you?" she asks kindly.

"Um yes" Ikumi takes the floor. "We are looking for a dress for Rosalina. She needs to blow our master's mind, but we don't know if the dresses are that good."

Misa looks at Rosalina briefly and then at the dresses. "Let's try them on first then, what do you think?" So she takes Rosalina and the dresses into a dressing room. "You can wait here and be a jury for the little fashion show" Misa says with a wink and closes the curtain in front of them.

While Misa helps Rosalina with the dresses, the other three sit down on some armchairs in front of the dressing room. "How's our master in bed?" asks Akeno then without warning.

Ram looks at her with wide eyes and blushes. Ikumi turns her head away from Akeno and her face turns slightly red as well. "S-very well," is all she says, burying her face in her hands.

"He... he showed me a lot and... it's fun" Ram only says. "Ara Ara, seems like he turned your heads" Akano says with a grin. "I hope he has time for me soon too, otherwise I'll have to sneak into his bed at night."

Ikumi grins and looks at Ram. "That's usually Ram's job." Ram looks at Ikumi startled. "Ikumiiii you're not supposed to tell anyone that."

Everyone then laughs and the ice is broken. After a few minutes, the curtain opens and Rosalina steps out.

"Wooow" everyone says with wide eyes as Rosalina steps out in a black dress with yellow highlights. "What do you think?" she asks, turning slowly.

"The dress is cut like the dress you are normaly wearing" says Ram and examines her friend. "It looks really good on you" says Akano and winks at her. "Really very pretty," says Ikumi. "It doesn't fit" say Akano and Ikumi at the same time. They look at each other and giggle briefly.

"Why doesn't it fit?" asks Rosalina, looking at herself again in the mirror in the changing room. "It looks the same as always, just in a different color."

"That's exactly the problem," replies Ikumi. "If you want to impress our master, it has to be new, not just a different color." Akeno nods in agreement. "Exactly. I'm sure he'll like it, but I don't know if he'll be blown away."

"Oh um ok. I'll try the next one, yes?" Rosalina turns around and disappears back into the changing room.

The next two dresses, both red, one again resembling Rosalina's regular dress and the other too short for such an event, also fail to meet the standards of the two expert women.

Ram looks on rather casually as she hardly knows anything about dresses. She has only ever worn her maiden outfit and can't understand what exactly they are looking for.

"Hm" says Misa, looking at Rosalina in the dress. "I have an idea." She reaches to her hip and pulls out a cell phone from her pocket. She dials a number and calls.

"Hey Erika, I have a question. You have this beautiful dress I was looking at. Do you still have it? Yes? Can you bring it over? I have a customer here for whom it's just made... Yes, I know that normally it doesn't work, but believe me it will look great on her... Then just ask your boss... Alright, I'll wait."

While Misa is on the phone the others look at each other questioningly. "Um who are you calling?" asks Ram Misa politely. Misa looks to the girls. "A colleague from another store. We cooperate closely here at the mall." Then she listens to the cell phone again.

"Alright then, I'll send her right over to you. Put the dress aside...you'll recognize her, trust me. Alright, I'll see you the days for sure. Byee" then Misa hangs up.

"So I went to a store that specializes in dresses and had a dress laid out for you" she says to Rosalina. "I think that will be the one. Do you need anything else?"

"She still needs underwear to go with the dress. But they'll be easier to buy if we know what the dress looks like" Akeno returns, looking at Rosalina, who has changed again.

"That's right. I'll also give you the name of a lingerie store. You should find what you're looking for there." Misa explains to Ikumi how to get to the store.

"Is that okay then, that we don't buy anything here? You were so nice to help us?" asks Ram with a sweet face. "Don't worry" Misa says "We do it here often and it's expected of us. We help each other out."

Misa then escorts the four to the exit. "I hope you guys find what you're looking for and if you ever need anything think of me." The 4 girls wave to Misa and make their way to the clothing store.
