Leopold and Zion raced down the streets of Centrale, the city where the academy was located. They had two weeks to find things to wear and gift for the winter dance, so all classes were done until the school started back up after Christmas break. Only problem was that in those two weeks Leopold to both find something to wear as well as six gifts for six different girls!

"Come on!" Zion yelled. "Nobody has come to this shop yet! Lets find something fast!" Leopold had never had to shop for stuff this hard! Why did this have to be so difficult.

The two boys walked into the shop where only a few attendants were waiting. The shop Zion had chosen was smaller and located in an alley, but the items inside looked so amazing! "Welcome!"

Zion brought Leopold over to a rack of suits and such, showing him some fancy things that Leopold was sure impressed by. "Any of these look good?"

Leopold studied the clothes. The material was expensive and the sewing was sure to keep the clothes in good care. "Just how is a company like this not more popular?"  He nodded. "Let me try some of these on."

A few moments later...

"Dang, Leo!" Zion exclaimed

"Dang, Leo!" Zion exclaimed. "You look amazing in that! No wonder all the girls are flocking to you!" He laughed and walked over to the counter. "Yes, we'd like that suit please."

"Of course, Mr. White." the woman at the counter replied. She took the money from Zion and nodded. "Have a great day!"

After Leopold had changed back into his usual clothes, he looked over at Zion. "How did you know about that shop anyway?" It was unusual for Zion to seem so... efficient. Just how did he know of a shop with goods like that?

Zion scratched his head. "When I first came to Centrale, I needed some clothes. I found this shop by accident, but soon became close to the workers there. Now I'm pretty much their number one customer, so I have high status at that shop."

"I see..." Leopold observed. "You sure are full of surprises."

"Not as big a surprise as how good you looked in that suit!" Zion praised. "Really, please don't steal my Amy."

"Sure." Leopold agreed, laughing with his friend.

"Come on, Breeze! We need to find some dresses to wear!" While Leopold was being tugged around the city shopping, Breeze and Nix were also shuffling around to find necessities for the dance.

"Just what kind of dresses do you think we need, Nix?" Breeze asked. "Those last ones looked pretty good!"

Nix frowned. "Leopold isn't just anyone! We need to find things that will really wow him into liking us more! He's probably going to have something stellar anyway, so we need something gorgeous to match him!"

"I guess that true..." Breeze mumbled. "But it is a little over excessive, don't you think?"

"No it isn't!" Nix protested. "It's completely reasonable thinking!"
