Mall and dresses

You're waiting next to a stall, Penny and Ashley have gone inside to try their dress, and you're supposed to comment on their choices. You're sure they brought you to carry the bags but now that you're here you can try to enjoy yourself.

"John, you're ready?" Without waiting for your answer, Ashley leaves the stall in a beautiful red dress, it sticks well to her curvy body and she looks incredible, you feel lucky that she's your girlfriend.

"What do you think? Well, I can guess with your expression..." She teases you and you decide to tease her back.

"You look great, but I preferred you in my bedsheets." She hits you jokingly and giggles lightly. But she stops as you wait for Penny to show up.

"Penny, come on, don't you want John to give you a compliment?"

"I-It doesn't suit me... I'm too big!" She's embarrassed but after slowly showing herself, you can definitely say she has great taste.

She's in a slim but fluffy, sky blue dress. Clearly made to be cute instead of sexy, but she pulls it off extremely well and you're surprised by how much you want to hug her right now. You stay there with your mouth open, losing your words. She looks at you and winces.

"It's that bad... I'll change right now..." She tries to re-enter the stall but you grab her hand and pull her in your arms.

"You were so adorable I lost my words! You're perfect!" You can feel her perk up and return the improvised hug.

"Guys? Can we focus back on the clothes?" You stop your hug and give Ashley your attention.

"Penny let's change back, we have a lot more clothes to try!"

"B-but we already found dresses for the party..."

"You didn't think we would only take a few minutes right, come with me! I won't let you go like that!" It seems Ashley is more interested in dressing up Penny than herself.

You spend a good part of the afternoon dressing up Penny in all kinds of cute clothes. You even end up buying her a small pink ensemble that you particularly liked. When you finally finish shopping, you carry the two bags filled with clothes they bought, they aren't that full but they're definitely cumbersome.

As you move through the mall, Penny sees an icecream-seller, and you end up buying one each. You sit on a bench and enjoy yours.

"Today was great. I would have loved to play games at the arcade but I enjoyed dressing you up Penny!" Ashley tells her.

"Yeah, I didn't think I would spend that much time trying on clothes since going with my mom." She says while reminiscing.

"You're not in a good relation with your mom?" You ask.

"She died when I was thirteen, I live with my father." She looks down, dejected.

"You have good memories with her right? And we're here for you!" Ashley intervenes, Penny smiles slightly before looking up towards the glass ceiling of the mall.

"You two are my family! As long as nothing happens to you too, I'll be alright!" She grins and looks at both of you.

"Let's go, it's starting to get dark." You bring them to their bus stops and then you note that you have no bus ticket left and no money on you after paying for Penny's clothes which means... going home on foot.

When you finally arrive home it's night and your home is dark, you look at your phone 23.25... Apparently, everyone is asleep, you go to your room, and as you pass by Kana's door, you can hear some music, it seems she's not asleep yet. Whatever, you lay on your bed and sleep takes you almost instantly.
