~~~~~~~End POV~~~~~~~
It was a nice and breezy Saturday afternoon in the month of March. 16-year-old Buster was up in his room reading comic books. Suddenly, his mother arrives at his door.
"Buster, sweetie," said Bitzi. "You need to rent yourself a tuxedo to get to the prom next week."
"Aw, mom," complained Buster. "Do I have to?"
"Don't complain, young man," said Bitzi sternly. "You need to dress sharp so that you can enter the prom."
"All right, all right," said Buster.
They both got in the car. Bitzi bought a car since Buster was 9 due to her old one broke down.
"And remember," said Bitzi.
"Yes, mom," said Buster. "Rent a tuxedo."
"Good," said Bitzi. "Make sure you get your measurements first."
They got to the formal store. Bitzi parked her car.
"Come on, Buster," she said. Buster immediately got out of the car.
They enter the store. The first thing Buster saw was Fern, who grew up beautiful, but still has a red bow on the top of her head since her childhood.
"Hey, Buster," said Fern. "What are you in here for?"
"I have to rent myself a tuxedo," replied Buster.
"Well, my mom is buying a dress for me," said Fern. "Have a chat with me. Sit down."
Buster sits next to Fern.
"So, Buster," said Fern. "Who are you taking to the prom?"
"Maria," he replied.
"The same Maria since you were friends with her since third grade?" asked Fern.
Buster nods.
"Who are you taking with, Fern?" asked Buster.
"Stan," replied Fern. Then she pulls out her wallet out of her pocket, and shows Buster a photo of her boyfriend. It was a dog boy from Mrs. Fink's class back in third grade. It was a recent photo of him.
No sooner or later, Doria returns to the main section.
"Ready, Fern?" she asked.
Fern gets up from her seat.
"See ya at school," said Fern. And they exit the store.
"Buster," said Bitzi. "She wants you to get a measurements. Follow her."
Buster follows the woman who works at the measurement department of the store. She is a bear in her mid 30s with a tan complexion and blonde hair.
"Okay, young man," said the woman as she measures Buster. She measured around his chest, his waist, and his feet.
"Okay, I think you're around medium through large," said the woman. "So pick out your tuxedo around your size."
Buster sees all the tuxedo accessories. He picked out a black blazer, a white inner shirt, a light blue cummerbund, a salmon bow tie, black slacks, and black loafers all in his exact size.
He now returns to the main section. He brings his tuxedo the cashier.
"Purchase or rental?" asked the cashier.
"Rental," said Buster. Bitzi immediately walk up to the cashier, writes down the check, and hands it to her.
"Have a nice day," said the cashier. Buster and his mother exit the store.
