"Thank you so much for taking care of him," Tomoko said, helping Yumiko with her suitcase.

"It was no problem at all Tomoko, I really enjoyed spending time with him," Yumiko replied, her eyes sparkling.

"I heard Cerise is taking you and Yukako dress shopping for the prom?"

Yumiko nodded, pulling her bag over the threshold of the door and onto the front porch, "I'm not usually a dress person but I'm pretty excited to try some on," she said with a sheepish smile.

"You should be excited, prom is a big event, I have to get Josuke a tux but he's being really reluctant," Tomoko sighed, "you get home safe alright?"

Yumiko smiled at Tomoko and nodded, rolling her suitcase down the steps and then down the street to her brother's house.

"Yumiko!" Cerise exclaimed when the teenager opened the door, pulling her into a tight hug, "we missed you!"

"I missed you guys too, but it was nice to spend some time with Josuke," Yumiko replied.

Cerise grinned, "I want all the details! You'll tell me and Yukako everything on the way to the shop! I've decided that I'm going to do all your hair and makeup for the prom too! I don't trust Yukako and her makeup skills," Cerise said with a wink.

"This blue would look so beautiful on you Yukako," Cerise said, grabbing a hanger off of the rack, a royal blue, mermaid style dress cascading down from the wooden triangle.

"Oh I love it!" Yukako exclaimed, taking the dress, "I'm going to try it on!"

As Yukako jogged to the dressing room, Cerise knocked on the other dressing room door, "how are you doing in there, Yumiko?" She asked.

"Fine," Yumiko replied, staring at the mirror in front of her.

Emerald green silk flowed to the ground, the top of the dress in a corset style with silk draped over the neckline of the dress.

It was held up with spaghetti straps and a long slit broke through the skirt on the side.

She looked down at her wrist, comparing the dress and the emerald bracelet she wore.

Slowly she opened the door, revealing the dress to Cerise.

"Oh. Mon. Dieu. Yumiko! You look incredible!" Cerise exclaimed, Yumiko blushing at the praise.

"Thanks Cerise, you really know how to pick out a dress," Yumiko replied, looking at the floor sheepishly.

Cerise tilted Yumiko's head back up to look at her, and rested a hand on her arm, "well you really know how to make a dress look like it was made for you," she said, smiling softly.

Yumiko's head turned at the sound of the other dressing room door opening and Yukako's gasp.

"Yumiko! You never told me you could rock a prom dress like that!" Yukako exclaimed, "I need you to tell me your secrets!"

Yumiko giggled, "you already look spectacular Yukako, Koichi's gonna lose his mind," she joked.

"He better! Or I'm leaving him with Okuyasu for the night," Yukako replied with a chuckle.

"Good luck Koichi," Cerise snorted, fiddling with Yukako's hair, pulling it up off her shoulders, "so what are you thinking, updo? Hair down? Braid?"

"Yumiko should have her hair in a face framing ponytail, she would look awesome," Yukako suggested, "I was thinking of a bun for myself."
