( it's a bbc show that will be airing in June on BBCA. Though coke and popcorn should have it by then. I messages them to add it and they said they were waiting for it to air in the US first )

" Are we ready to start shopping?" Saya asked and hoped they would be safe.

(Coke and Popcorn?)

"I believe we are," Soji said.

(It's a streaming site that I use to watch AOS and Doctor Who. )

"Yep we are." Hoshi said after she had paid for Katia and her meals. She didn't like the feeling she had but knew things would be good.

(Gotcha)

"Then let's get going," The captain said with a light grin on his face. He was always happy to spend time with Hoshi and the others. Granted he would personally like to spend time alone with his girlfriend, but he wasn't going to become a pain just because of that.

( happy belated thread anniversary! only 5 more pages till 400 :) )

" What do you think my dad would like for a gift? Last year I got him a drawing set and want to do something similar. " Hoshi said wondering if she should get the set of drawing pens she had seen on the Internet.

" Maybe those drawing pens. We both could combine our money and get him the set. " Katia suggested.

(lol)

"I still don't know why you want to help me buy clothes," Tatsuki muttered. "It isn't like Strawberry is going to care if I'm wearing a dress or not."

" Ichigo might want to take you to a nice restaurant. And you have to dress nice for those. " Yuzu said and hoped this wasn't too hard to do.

"I suppose..." the tomboy responded.

" What would you like to look for Soji? " Saya asked her brother and wondered if he wanted to look at some clothing.

"I'm fine with whatever you want to do. I just want to spend some time with my sis that doesn't involve fighting of any kind," he replied.

Sounds good to me." Saya said with a grin as they headed toward the clothing store.

Soji followed his sister towards the clothes store. Most men would have a scowl or small frown on their faces for a second or two, but not Soji. Besides, he looked at it positively; his sister could help him shop for clothes and get his opinion on what she thought Katia would like to see.

"Tatsuki-chan, your reputation as a martial artist tomboy will not be hurt or destroyed if someone saw you walking out of there. Besides, even if it did, you could just recreate it a second later by punching the guy's lights out...assuming Ichi-nii doesn't do it first," Yuzu said sighing lightly. She knew shopping for fancy clothes for women with Tatsuki was going to be a challenge, she just didn't think it would be this much of one.

" Do you want to look at clothes first? I know you have some but they aren't really what kids wear these days. " Saya said and warned to help.

" Is there anyone besides you that's out there?" Tatsuki asked and was uncomfortable in the dress. But she had a feeling Ichigo would like to see her in a dress and wouldn't laugh at her.

"I'd actually like that. I wouldn't know what to pick actually," he admitted as a light tinge of pink colored his cheeks.

"No one but me is out here at the moment Tatsuki," Yuzu replied.

" I think I can help." Saya said and headed toward the male section of the store.

"Thanks sis," Soji replied as he followed his sister towards the male section.

" So how do I look. " Tatsuki asked and wasn't sure if she liked the shortness of the dress. " Is this supposed to be this short?" she asked.

"It is. There's also dresses that have a little longer length, if you want me to get you those?" she asked.

" That might be better. " Tatsuki said.

Yuzu nodded. "Alright then," she said. "Wait here for a second, I'll be back," she said.

Tatsuki nodded and sighed. She hoped she could find something that she knew Ichigo would like but didn't know if she would go crazy first.

Yuzu returned with a dress that she thought Tatsuki would like.

" Now that dress I like. " Tatsuki said with a grin.

"Glad to hear that," Yuzu said with a grin as she passed the dress to Tatsuki. "Now then...let's see how it fits" she said.

Tatsuki took the dress and went to try it on. It fit great and she liked how it wasn't as short as the others that she tried. ". Want me to show off? " She asked Yuzu.
