Chapter 3: Fashion Fiasco

Genre: Humor

Bored.

That's the word that fit the two aliens mood perfectly. Wrex and Garrus were lounging on some crates as Shepard did business with a merchant.
Normally that would be fine. But today the Human's scavenger like personality quirk caught up to them in the form of a full inventory.

Which caused Garrus to have to pass up on a better armor upgrade.

Shepard had felt really bad about that. Garrus already had weaker armor then the tankish Human Soldier and Krogan, through he would never admit it, he had some trouble keeping up with the two. Upgrades were always a welcomed boon.

As soon as they had eliminated the threat of the Geth incursion they had plotted a course straight to the Citadel.

A-nd here they still were.

Shepard was STILL selling his stockpiled loot from EVERY locked crate or safe they found. The Human turned out to be a little TO good at hacking. The Turian and Krogan had finished cleaning and caught up with the maintenance of all of their weapons, even the ones they never used! Where did the Human keep it all?
They were about resort to ... not so legal measures for entertainment when Shepard walked over to them, a stupid grin on his scared face, holding two cases and dond in shiny new white and yellow armor.

"Guess what, Christmas came early this year!" He happily exclaimed as he tossed them their respective armor upgrades.

Wrex snorted "That was lame Shepard."
He then proceeded to tear into the the case with reckless abandon.
The Human's only response was a shrug.

Garrus compared the stats against his current suit. No doubt they were a bit better, but a bit was a lot when it came to medium armor. It truly was a good find.

Wrex had already equipped his upgrade. It was black with vivid red. It suited the Krogan perfectly.

Taking one last look at the readings, the Turian activated the upgrade. He felt the familiar ripple and subsequent hardening of the armor's weave.
He wasn't aware anything was odd until he heard a strangled snicker.

"What? What is it?"

A Krogan's booming laughter was his answer.
He turned to Shepard, who in turn looked sheepish and rubbed the back of his helmet.
"You might want to look at your armor Garrus."
The Turian gave a confused tilt of the head and looked to see what the big deal was with the upgrade.

He squawked in outrage.

"I am NOT wearing this!"

Wrex barked out another laugh.

"Whatever you want your Ladyship!"

The armor was white and pink.
PINK!
Who makes PINK Turian armor anyway?

His mandibles flexed in frustration and the scales covering his body rose in agitation as he stood.

Shepard sighed, kicking Wrex to shut him up.
"Garrus, I KNOW you don't want to. But, honestly, you NEED the damage protection and shield bonuses. I promise that I will try to find you something better. But in the mean time..."

"You get to look pretty Turian."

Garrus sunk down back onto the crate in defeat, anger deflating. The gave the Human a wary look.

"You really need to clean your inventory out once in a while Commander."

At least the Human had the decency to blush.

Authors Note: Well, honestly, this I wrote from an actual experience in the game. When I equipped the armor for Garrus, I double-taked and then started laughing my head off. Oh, and curse for not letting me do simple layout changes. I had proper indentations and everything before I put the file on here.
