Just them... And Ria.

After a hurried shower, and a quick breakfast of cold pop tarts, they hurried into the nearby town. "I can't BELIEVE you forgot to get a suit Master," Yang huffed.

"I can," Blake deadpanned. "Should have seen it coming actually..."

"Whatcha guys doing?" Ria asked, hovering behind them upside down.

"Hello Ria," the four chorused in a dull tone, all of them used to Ria's attempts to startle them by now.

Ria pouted. "It's always no fun once my ability to scare people wears off... I even try waiting a while to lull you guys into a false sense of security, and none of you even jump?"

"You had PLENTY of fun with that antic of yours," Yang deadpanned. "I still remember getting tangled up in Master's sheets when you scared him awake when I first met you. That really hurt you know..."

"I know, it was hilarious!" Ria giggled, before righting herself, and floating along after them. "Still, you never answered my question..."

"We're getting Master Bozo a suit for the dance since he forgot," Blake replied.

"...if I didn't deserve that one, you would have just bought yourself a punishment alongside the one I already owe Yang," Jaune remarked to Blake, who meeped, and hid behind Pyrrha.

"Ah," Ria nodded. "Having a harem of sex slaves does tend to make the owner of the Note forget the little details from time to time, so go easy on him girls... His little noggin can only handle so little you know..."

"...I'm going to get you Ria," Jaune said in a dead tone. "I don't know how, I don't know when, but somehow, I'm getting even for all the jump scares and commentary."

"Promises, promises," Ria stuck her tongue out.

"So what were you up to anyway?" Pyrrha asked. "You were gone for a short while..."

"Oh, just jumped multiverses for a bit," Ria shrugged as they reached the clothing store, making her boobs jiggle. "Went to one just like this, except I never dropped a Sex Note there, and it was just about 12 hours ahead in terms of timeline. Just wanted to see how many differences that little butterfly made so far..."

"Right," Jaune nodded as he started looking at the suits.

"Pity we couldn't ask for Coco's help," Yang noted as she helped him. "But that mission team CFVY is on just had to go on longer than expected..."

"It IS a pity... It means she and Velvet will miss the dance..." Pyrrha noted, holding up a purple suit on a hanger up against Jaune with a critical eye.

"Yeah... And Coco would have been a real help finding a suit on time..." Blake pouted, being shot down by Yang when she suggested a suit with little fishies on it.

"You could always wear a dress," Ria suggested to Jaune mischievously.

"Ha! That WOULD be hilarious!" Yang laughed.

"Haha, very funny Yang," Jaune deadpanned, ignoring a giggling Pyrrha as she fought not to imagine Jaune wearing a dress. "There's no universe where I would wear a dress to this dance," he added, before pausing as Ria smothered a snort rather badly. "...no... There's no way, is there?" he asked disbelievingly.

"I seem to be recalling something about a lost bet with Pyrrha," Ria mused. "And a saying about Arcs never going back on their words..."

As Yang laughed herself sick in a corner, Blake also sniggering, and hiding it poorly, Jaune facepalmed as Pyrrha wouldn't stop giggling. "...you guys are never going to let me hear the end of this one, are you?"

"Nope!" Pyrrha denied instantly.

"Hey, it wasn't so bad," Ria assured him. "You rocked that dress, and it was honestly one of your finer moments... Still funny though," she added.

"... let's just get back to it," Jaune stated. "We're supposed to be in a hurry..."

They went back to browsing, and about a minute later, Yang suddenly said, "Oh, Jaune, I found the perfect one!"

"Oh really? Thank goodness, maybe we can end this trip no- DAMN IT YANG!" he protested to the cackling blonde, who, sure enough, was holding up a frilly pink dress... This was going to be a loooooong shopping trip...

(...is it weird that I was dying laughing while writing this one?)
