Akira's POV
I sat on the shore, whistling to myself. It was a peaceful day, no one was around me. I closed my eyes, listening to the sound of the sea, the wind. Then, I heard the sounds of running footsteps. I opened my eyes to see Kiri and Tsireya running in my direction. I stood up as they reached me.
" Akira! Come!" Tsireya said as she grabbed my arm and started running. Kiri pushed me lightly from behind.
" Okay! Okay! Slow down!"
Tsireya giggled. What was she up to? She led me to her marui pod (which was connected to her parent's). She sat me down and went further in the pod. Kiri stayed with me, smiling suspiciously.
" What's going on? You guys are acting weird." I asked, confused. Kiri shook her head just as Tsireya came back with a bunch of stuff in her hands.
" Ta da!"
I raised my brow. What?
" We're dressing you up!"
" Wait...dressing me up? For what?" I asked. Tsireya gave me an annoyed look. Kiri laughed.
" For tonight!"
I rolled my eyes. " I do not need to be dressed up, Reya."
" It's too late to turn back now, we spent all afternoon making these!"
Kiri nodded her head.Seriously guys? I love you and all but...isn't this a bit too much? I crossed my arms and stood up.
" I'm not doing it."

" Dammit..."
I stood in the changing room (basically a separate room for changing), waiting to be given the outfit that I needed to 'try out'. I could hear the voices of the two girls, deciding which top would be the BEST one for tonight.
" No, no, that's not it. I don't think she would want to look as if she was going to collect herbs when she's going to a party," Tsireya said. I rolled my eyes. Party, huh?
" Right, how about this one?"
" Ooh! That's nice! It will look perfect on her!"
Then I heard giggles. I looked up towards the ceiling and sighed. What was I doing? This was ridiculous! R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!
" We can add the extras later, you can let her try it now." Kiri said. I could almost hear her big grin. Tsireya came in and placed the clothes on a rack. She pulled the cloth that covered a part of the room, to conceal me. Her hand peeked in and handed me the clothes.
"Here."
I hesitantly took them and shook it out gently.
" Do you need any help?"
" No, I think I'm good."
" Great!" she replied. Her voice was full with excitement. I had to remind myself that she was 2 years younger than me. I studied the top. It was decorated with shells and pearls. I have to admit, they did a great job. They made the top more covered and less revealing. Which made me feel more comfortable.
Two strings were attached to the top of the top, probably where a collar should be in human clothes. The strings had a pearl and bead each, and was probably used for placing the top in place when I wore it. A string of small, delicate shells, beads and pearls dripped down, attached to the bottom. In the middle of the top was a large shell. Shiny and smooth. I brushed my fingers over it, a small smile appearing at my lips.
I changed into the top. It fitted over me perfectly. It was surprisingly comfortable. I tied the two strings around my neck, making a ribbon at the back of my neck. I adjusted some parts. Then, I examined the bottom part, something like a skirt. It was, too, decorated beautifully. I quickly changed into it, not wanting the two girls to wait long. Then I called out to them.
" I'm done!"
The cloth was pulled open.
