"How did I end up with you two again?" Nari murmurs, hands shoved inside the pockets of her sweatshirt while Hina and Emma had one arm linked around hers, walking on either side of the older Tachibana sibling.

"Don't be like that Nari!" Emma hushes her, gently patting her shoulder with her free hand. "Just think of this day as a treat from us!" She beams happily. "Even your hair roots with thank me for letting it breathe!"

"Sometimes mama talks about you when you aren't at home!" Hina chimes in. "She says she keeps buying you pretty clothes but you only wear your school uniform and your gang uniform, no in between!"

"But my gang uniform represents what I love." Nari defends, slightly jutting her lower lip out. "And aren't you two glad that I'm wearing neither of the two? I'm in my sweats!"

"You dress up like you're going to sleep" Emma spoke, glancing at Nari before turning her head to look up ahead. Smiling while pointing at the facade of a building. "We're getting close! Brace yourself, Nari!"

"It's good to make changes, Nari." Hina says, hugging Nari's arm. "Imagine the look on Haruchiyo kun's face when he sees your transformation!"

Nari could only let out a sigh as the three of them entered the mall. While she had a lazy and sleepy expression on her face, Hina and Emma both had their eyes glittering at the shops they want to enter. Letting out another sigh, Nari knew this was going to be a long day for her.

"I couldn't pick between dark pink and light pink...so I got them both!" Emma exclaims, holding onto two small bottles of nail polish as she shows them to Nari. "You have long and pretty fingers and nails, Nari! Guys like girls with pretty hands!"

"I've actually discarded your plain black hair ties. And now I'm getting these for you!" Hina says, two white scrunchies each hooked on both of her index fingers.

"I even got you this lip gloss!" Emma adds, showing the bottle of the pink glittering gloss to Nari. "Seriously, how can I just pass this by?"

"Since I'm buying you this outfit, you have to wear it! If you don't, I'll seriously get mad at you!" Hina says, pouting at Nari while showing to her the outfit she chose. It was a dress with blue and gray checkered patterns, a flower brooch pinned on the middle top of the buttons.

"Oh! The dress goes well with this one!" Emma spoke, happily showing to the twins a skin tone colored heels. "You have to wear this too, Nari! If you don't, I'll cry!"

As both Hina and Emma pushed Nari inside the fitting room, the two of them waited outside, sitting on a bench. 

"I didn't know you two would be here." 

The two girls turned their heads out of curiosity and found Takemichi, Draken and Mikey, clad in their casual clothes while looking at them.

"What are you two doing here?" Draken asks. Mikey sat down beside Emma, sitting on the free space.

"Were actually waiting for Nari to come out!" Emma beams, a wide smile painting her lips. "Were giving her a make over!"

"A makeover?" Draken asks

"Will I still recognize my representative?" Mikey jokes

"If Hina chose something for her, I can trust her!" Takemichi beams, showing them a thumbs up.

And as Nari walked out of the fitting room, wearing the blue and gray checkered dress and skin tone colored heels, untied long hair flowing behind her back and shoulders, a flushed pink color in her cheeks.
