Shopping with Kylie

As Kyle exited the house, Sam grabbed some provisions and planned to sit down and get to the bottom of MARCI's systems. Kyle, on the other hand, climbed into Darla's car, in the passenger seat.

"Morning, Kylie!" Darla exclaimed as Kyle fastened his seatbelt.

"Good morning to you, too." Kyle replied as he tried to find a comfortable position for the belt to sit.

"We've just gotta pick up the others and we'll be on our way." Darla said.

"No rush..." Kyle muttered.

"What was that?" Darla asked.

"I said I can't wait." Kyle smiled.

"That's what I thought you said!" Darla smiled back.

Melissa and Robin were soon picked up, climbed into the backseat and the girls were on their way to the mall. Their attempts to pull "Kylie" into their conversations continued, though Kyle was able to deflect most of the questions, especially when they pertained to "her" past.

Melissa soon ambushed him, holding a black push-up bikini top with a matching bottom up to his body.

"Here." Melissa handed it to him. "This one is perfect."

"Thanks." Kyle slung the items over his arm and started to look through a nearby rack.

"Come on, Kylie!" Robin shouted. "We're gonna go try on what we picked out!"

"And we got you a few choices." Darla smiled as she held up a pile of cloth.

Kyle sighed as he weighed his options. On the one hand, he could just let them buy it and not have to suffer the indignity for another day or so... but on the other hand, if they change together... he might be able to watch the girls change... He decided to:
