Zexion was on her way to the library when she suddenly remembered, "Damn, I have to go .... shopping today." If only she could avoid the trip all together. But surely Larxene would have a fit if she did not show up. So begrudgingly Zexion portaled to the Proof of Existence. Namine was already there with a sad looking Roxas in tow.
Then Larxene arrived accompanied by a grinning Marluxia. "Well, are we all ready?"
"I didn't believe Larxene when she told me, so I had to come see for myself. Zexion are you really going shopping with us?" The Assassin bent down looking Zexion directly in the eye.
"Don't push it Marluxia." She sneered.
The pink-haired man merely snickered as they walked to the Gummi Garage. As the group sat in their arranged seats Zexion noticed something peculiar. As she put on her seat belt she noticed a pain in her chest. The belt strap was cutting right across her breasts. She fumbled with the contraption before finally giving up and settling on wrapping the top belt under her chest.
'A man surely must have invented this.' She thought glumly.
"You okay back there?" Roxas shouted from the front.
"Fine" She grumbled.
The trip was, thankfully, short. Zexion hated flying. Being so high off the ground was one of her worst fears.
The violet-haired girl sighed deeply as she was pushed (by Larxene) into a small boutique. This was going to be the longest day of her non-existent life. "Well at least I could discover some valuable information about the female entity." She thought.
The three girls spent some time combing through racks upon, racks of clothing. While unlucky Roxas was forced to carry all of their selections to and from the changing rooms. Zexion was bored with the process very quickly and decided to go try something on. She still failed to see why girls got so wound up about clothes.
Marluxia attempted to sneak into Zexion's dressing room and be the first to see the newly transformed female naked. Unfortunately (for Marluxia) Zexion's unique sense of smell did not vanish along with her male form. So the Graceful Assassin got pelted in the face with a barrage of shoes. Larxene chuckled at the sight of a bruise forming on his cheek, "Serves you right!"
"Do I have to come out?" Zexion whined. Moments later.
"Yes." Larxene pulled poor Zexion out of the dressing room and in front of a four paneled mirrors. She was clothed in head to toe leopard print. Leopard leggings, boots, hat and to top it all off a trench coat. The Savage Nymph seemed very pleased with her selection for the Schemer.
Namine, being to kind to laugh, stated, "Well the black lace top looks nice."
Roxas just stared. His mouth agape.
Marluxia gave a whistle and said, "That ensemble is so you." (Clearly he was still miffed about the bruise)
"That's it I'm leaving." Zexion was making her way back to the dressing room when Namine picked out another outfit. "Please, stay. Pretty please." The blond put on her pouty face. Which was too cute to ignore.
"Fine" Zexion sighed.
Just when she was thinking of stealing the Gummi ship and abandoning the others, Zexion spotted a navy trench coat with a fitted waist. She could overlook the ruffles cinched to the back, only because it was just so dang adorable.
Namine quietly inquired, "You like this?"
"Yes and I have no logical reason to explain why. It's simply... cute." She tried on the new object of her affection and found that the coat fit her to a tee.
"Wow, that looks great! Larxene look at what Zexion found." Larxene glanced over at them. Suddenly she felt a pang in the place where her heart should be. It reminded her of the emotion jealousy. "Oh, the coat looks okay. I guess."
The blond turned to whisper to Marluxia, "How is it that she has a better waist than me?"
Marluxia cracked a big grin, "Seems like you've got some competition."
Finally Zexion was able to understand why ladies got so worked up over clothes. Buying them filled some of the void in her chest and she was able to bond more with Namine. Conversing with both Roxas and Namine on the way home. Zexion discovered that they were actually nice kids. Something Zexion would have never found out if she were still male.
As Zexion said goodnight to everyone she smiled for the first time in a long while. It was an unfamiliar feeling for her. Using those muscles in her face that she didn't know she had.
"I don't know why, but I feel a warmth coming right from here." Zexion said to herself as she pointed to where her heart was. "But that simply cannot be. I have not felt this since.." She stopped.
'Since I was Ienzo.' She thought. Zexion shook her violet head and tucked herself in for the night. Dreaming about small fitted coats.
A/N: Sorry about the delay in getting this chapter out. I had a family tragedy recently. There seems to be a lot going on in this chapter. I had too many ideas. DX Poor Zexi. I have the same problem with seat belts. I hope you all enjoyed this one.
