This is after the New Years Event, but before everything else.

Inwe snuck up on her friend, and then popped up on her left when she looked away.

"I think we should visit Ian once he's out," she said thoughtfully. Shira jumped, looking at Inwe.

"No way! He tried to hurt Gino-the-hunk!" she objected.

"The film had a once second time lap!" Inwe said.

"So true," Shira said.

"Up for some window shopping?" Inwe asked, eyeing the Gambino Hat Rack.

"Always. Let's pay Ruby and Peyo a visit!" Shira said, pulling Inwe toward the shop.

"Hello," said Peyo and Ruby at almost the same time. Inwe smiled and nodded.

"Hey," Shira replied, going over to try on various hats. Inwe joined her and was trying on the Manti mask when the door opened and handsome voice greeted Ruby.

"Gino," she hissed to Shira. Shira smiled and whispered back, "I'm going to look over here."

Inwe sighed and went back to trying on hats, ignoring the fact that her best friend was going to flirt with a man she did not particularly favor.

Shira crossed the room, then 'tripped' on a loose floorboard. Two strong hands caught her before she touched the floor.

"Are you okay?" asked Gino, pulling her upright. Inwe laughed slightly under the brim of the hat she was wearing, knowing that Shira had tripped on purpose.

"I'm fine… Thank you… I'm just a bit clumsy," she stammered. He's holding me. I think I'm gonna faint!

"That's okay," Gino said. Inwe found a purpose to cross the room, and hum under her breath the childish song 'Gino and Shira, sitting in a tree.' Shira cast Inwe a glance so small that Gino could barely see, but Inwe could. Inwe smiled, and laughed harshly, returning to trying on various items.

"What's your name?" Gino asked.

"Shira. No need to tell me yours, Gino," Shira laughed. She thought a moment.

"Would you like to go out with a walk for me?" she asked softly. Inwe braced herself for the no.

"I'd like that," Gino smiled. Inwe dropped the hat she was holding and turned slowly to stare at Gino.

"Okay! See you later Inwe!" Shira said. Gino left with Shira, leaving Inwe stunned and amazed. Inwe sighed and left to wander the streets until she found something better to do.
