Note: I don't own Haikyuu and stuff.

The boys walk through a few stores, but nothing really looks all too interesting until they hit the thrift store in the strip which holds a lot of strange things.

They're goofing off when they see Rose heading passed and Bokuto yells for her, she backtracks into the store to find the familiar voice's owner and upon hearing her name a second time turns to spot the duo. She practically dies of laughter.

They're sitting like aristocrats on a couple of tattered old-fashioned wooden chairs. Bokuto has super oversized bright hot pink joke sunglasses that could fit a beach ball in the shape of hippy flowers, a fake neon green Easter grass like vest, giant fuzzy grey bunny foot slippers to 'match', a huge tacky flower crown, too short pale blue parachute pants, and a bow and suction cup arrow set on as he strokes a nonexistent beard above a sun yellow bow tie. One would think this is the point to turn to the more sensible of the two and she would... if there was one.

Fukunaga's in no better shape with his look. His giant flimsy highlighter orange and smurf blue sombrero with glittery silver pom-poms dangling down that dwarfs him, a baby pink yarn poncho with dark green rosettes on it, a bright purple and puke pea greenish yellow with tassels toy princess cane, equally large fuzzy brown bear slippers, deep red and bright blue plaid long sleeve under the poncho and sun yellow star glasses like the owl's. They even have dainty little teacups in saucers next to them, white and covered in large gaudy pink flowers with faux gold trim. He waves at the cafe owner with a serious, regal air before they (Bokuto) break into grins and wave at themselves in a showoff manner. The very definition of tacky with large fake jewelry clipped everywhere on both, high levels of sheer ridiculousness.

"What do you think of our new looks? Good enough for a night on the town, hit a club or two with some good old chaps?" They also have the gaudiest multi-colored boas she's ever seen tied around their waists like sashes or belts as she cracks up all over again at Bo's question mixed with their innocent looks. They really are kids.

"You two look like rainbows threw up, tossed ya around an old person's retirement home and spit ya back out. Even trolls would say no way in hell to that fashion sense, I'm sure." They each raise brows as they look at each other before looking back to her in complete seriousness, the two holding straight faces somehow.

"...But do you like it?" At this she really does facepalm, breaking into a snickering fit and holding her hand out as she suppresses even more laughter.

"Love it. Now give me a damn phone so I can save this wonderfully momentous occasion forever for you." They're all smiling, Bo unlocking and handing his over.

They pose as she takes a few pictures before they look at each other deviously, making her feel like she's in trouble. Bokuto talks with her for a minute then rushes around the store while telling her to stay put. Rose turns to question the mute, but realizes he isn't there and that she has no idea when he managed to slip away.

Several minutes after that has Rose and the shop keeper (that the mute dragged over named Mitsu) dressed just as oddly despite protests with a disposable camera in hand. All of them take turns taking pictures and posing as they goof off before removing the merchandise and putting it all away neatly. The shop owners chuckle as they watch the two work efficiently on the dwindling pile with the raven having to put the two-tone in his place more than once, they tried to help only to get shooed away. They also promised to give them copies of the photos. Good kids.

Waving as the three leave the shop with a few random bobbles and such, they head to the Geekery. Rose gets them both their normal orders on the house for so much fun and brightening her day up. They (Fuku does since he feels guilty instantly, Bokuto just cheers joyously until he gets an unimpressed look as the raven crosses his arms then starts to protest reluctantly) try to insist on paying until she says if they say another thing about it, she'll be offended and to get back to their date already. They turn pink and awkward, shutting up and doing as they're told while waiting. They thank her as they leave to look around the last couple stores. There isn't much for today's adventure here, but maybe another time. On to the mall.
