On The Surface | An OCTale Sequel

33) I Choose You!

1st March

It's been a few days now since Emma came back to life, and she's now sold her flashy apartment and moved back in with Ambstabrook, right next door to us. We see each other ever day, as she's started coming to the ambassador meetings with me. Hopefully in a few months or so, she'll be a monster ambassador too!

Emmaton's new show, Drawful, is kinda like Pictionary. It looks a lot cooler than Royal Flush, and people seem to love it more, too.

Anyway, today I've planned something special!

"Shopping trip time!" I cheer, as Impact and Guidea smile. I open the door to let Emma in, who's just finished saying goodbye to Castellar. She's blushing like crazy, as always. The two of them are really cute together.

"Ahem..Yeah! Let's go! But we better get smoothies later!" Emma replies, somehow hearing me through the door. Everyone collectively nods at this, and I poke my head out the door to see if Cassie is still there.

" Hey! You sure you and Flowey will be alright? " I call, as she turns around, flower pot in hand.

"YEAH! IMPACT LEFT HIS SWITCH PLUGGED INTO THE TV LAST NIGHT AND FORGOT TO PUT IT IN HIS ROOM THIS MORNING!" She yells over at me, as I giggle. Impact laughs too, before realising.

"WAIT, CAS! DON'T OVERWRITE MY POKEMON SAVE FILE!" He yells back, teleporting just outside the house.

" WE WON'T! WE'RE GONNA PLAY SMASH! NYEH HEH HEH! " She replies, before finally walking far enough for us to not shout at each other anymore.

"Wait Impact, you have Smash? Who do you all main?" I ask.

"Castellar mains Peach, and I main Dark Pit. I think Flowey mains Pac-Man, but only because he wants to win every time."

"Cool!" I chirp, as the others head outside to meet us.

" Alright, me and Emma have made up a plan of action to enable maximum shopping fun! " Guidea smiles, glitching a bit in excitement whilst showing the neat list they've made. For a second there I thought it was going to be unrealistically long.

"Alright! Let's go to the city to meet the city folk!" I grin.

"First up, clothes shopping!" Emma cheers, obviously excited to wear new clothes again instead of a claustrophobic metal suit.

"Okay, Emma, since you're so passionate, why don't you pick out the clothes?" Guides suggests, Emma's eyes immediately lighting up.
"Oh my stars! I'd love to! I'll get started right away!" She gasps, pulling us all into changing room cubicles.

" Hey, watch where you're grabbing! " Impact yelps, being forcefully dragged by the cuff of his jacket.

"Even you, Impact! You have 23 pairs of the exact same outfit!" Emma chastises, and I giggle as I shut my cubicle.

After a long montage of trying on clothes, Emma finally calls for us all to come out. I come out first, wearing a lavender dress topped with a short leather waistcoat. I see Emma's also changed herself, as she now wears a green gingham jacket over her shirt, which now has no stripes, along with her brown skirt.

Next to come out is Impact, who's wearing a burgundy short-sleeved t-shirt, along with a grey bobblehat and some grey jeans. Seems like Emma had a play with his hair, too, as a cute little flick comes out from under the hat.

"I feel like I'm 12 years old again." He comments, crossing his arms. Guid's taking a while.

" Guidea? You're okay to come out! " I call, as she gasps.
"Oh, right! Sorry, I was doing my hair!" She calls, before stepping out. I see Impact immediately light up at the sight.
