"What do you think of this one?" Mariko holds up a small purple dress.
Kaede runs her fingers over the fabric and frowns, "Where's the rest of it?"
"Ah, you're so traditional, Kaede-chan," Mariko groans. "What about this one?"
She holds up a red dress even shorter than the last. "I asked for you to pick a dress, not underwear."
"If you guys are going to start buying underwear, I think I'll have to leave," Haibara says awkwardly.
"Hey, I didn't put in that request so you two could slack off."
Mariko had gone out of her way to arrange for a car to take them down into the city. After seeing the lacking amount of clothes and decor Kaede's room contained, she was determined to take the girl shopping. However, she neglected to tell Haibara and Nanami that their purpose in coming was to hold all the bags. Each of their hands were endlessly full.
"I think we have enough, Mariko-chan," Kaede says. "Seriously, where would I even wear something like this?"
"Maybe on a date." A wicked smile grew on Mariko's lips. "Gojo-san would lose his mind if he saw you in this."
"We're not dating."
"I didn't say you were dating, I said he'd lose his mind if he saw you in this dress." And with that, Mariko forced the red fabric against Kaede's front. "Nanami-kun! Wouldn't you lose your mind if you saw Kaede in this?"
Arms aching from all the bags, Nanami rolls his tired eyes. "Please, don't ask me questions like that."
Kaede pushes the dress away. "I don't even like red that much, Mariko-chan."
"I got it!" Mariko reaches back into the rack and pulls out the same dress in a different color, "Black is much more your style!"
Kaede stops herself from groaning. She knows all of Mariko's efforts come with the best intentions, however exhausting they may be.
"Haibara, back me up here."
"I'm sure you'd look very pretty Kaede-chan," Haibara smiles. "But you're also like a little sister to me, so I'd really prefer you cover up a bit more."
"That settles it. It's perfect!" Mariko celebrates, arms happily thrown into the air with the dress. "Speaking of which, do you need underwear?"
The boys' faces both flush. Nanami very flatly states, "I'm leaving."
