"Are you sure I'd look human in this?" I called out from behind the curtain.

They were nice enough to help pick out clothes for me, keeping in mind my distaste for much fabric. Even the red-hair female was starting to get into it, it's not every day you dress up aliens like dolls with an unlimited budget.

"I'm sure it looks great Kori!" Roy chimed from behind the curtain.

I hesitated looking at myself in the there were clothes on Tamaran, but it was all very optional. I was the type who wore clothes rarely, except on the occasion of festivities where wealth displays were crucial. I prefered what the humans would call tattoos, but less permanent. I know the name probably already exists, but from the knowledge I gained from Roy and Dick, I wasn't sure I could find the word.

I tugged the pink crop top slightly to the side so that the collar was properly aligned. It was lacy on the edges, but overall plain with short sleeves. It exposed my toned abdomen and radiant orange skin much to my pleasure, and the shorts I had on were a tad bit tight, but they felt nice. The black fake leather was smooth and warm, and exposed my long legs. It hadn't taken much arguing to convince the crew that weather wasn't a big deal to me. The shoes were just a simply gold and glittery kind. I appreciated the kinds of things they were trying to do for me, but all the same I felt like they were dressing me like a child. I didn't feel like a woman wearing this.

I ran my hands through my hair frustrated, purple lips pouting. They told me it would be impossible to put lipstick on my lips. I kind of understood from some of the humans I saw walking around today.

"I don't think I like it." I said at last.

"Oh come on Kori let us see at least! Besides, what do you know about Earth fashion." Roy complained.

Barbara snorted, and Victor whispered some scolding remark to her.

"Maybe you guys should let me try?" I asked, taking the curtain folds in my hand and pushing them aside, the links making a metal ringing noise in their wake.

Roy's eyes widened, his jaw slowly dropping in an expression of awe, Barbara looked at me up and down occasionally glancing to Dick whose eyes were unreadable.

Vic broke the strange tension by slowly beginning to clap his hands.

"Very nice Kori." he said warmly, "You look great."

Roy got up and put his hands on my shoulders tightly, "No kiddin' Kori, you're a goddess!"

I looked down feeling myself flush from orange to red, "Thank you friends, but I do not like this outfit very much. Mind if I try something myself?"

Roy gave a glance back at Dick, who shrugged, "Couldn't hurt."

"Can we go get some costume stuff while she shops for a bit?" Babs glanced at Dick while I began to shut the curtain to redress.

"Yeah I suppose it couldn't hurt, Vic you're in charge." Dick replied behind the muffling curtain.

"Booyah!" Vic cheered before turning into a pile of chattering with Roy and Conner.

I quickly slipped out of the clothes and back into my school uniform. They felt nice on my skin, but nothing wouldn't be quite as heavy.

I slid back the curtain and walked past the group of guys talking about random human things, and began to sift through the massive amount of clothes. It took awhile but soon I developed a modest stack of fabric between my fingers and went back to the changing rooms. Humming to myself I slide on a pair of denim high waisted shorts, that were a deep indigo color. The shoes were a simple pair of brown ankle boots and I struggled into a skin tight short-sleeved crop top to complete my outfit. I like this top more because the stomach showed, just like the other outfit, but it was lilac purple and simple with a low v-neck back to show the movement of my shoulder blades. This outfit wouldn't be very useful in battle, but the color purple seemed to be growing on me rapidly.

"I'm ready." I called from behind the curtain, the chatter died down rapidly.

"Alright," Vic said, "Let us see."

This time I felt much more confident pulling back the curtain, and I rinned as I stepped out to greet the pack of guys.

Everyone immediately shut their side conversations down to silence.

"I really like the purple" I grinned, the feelings of joy almost making my feet want to hover with glee.

"It really suits you." Conner said looking me up and down with approval.

I gave him a thankful nod and went back to my changing room. Roy lowered his voice to a whisper and I didn't bother to listen in. It took way too much concentration to wiggle out of the shirt to do much else.

After that I did a bit more shopping with a little bit of help, and was filled with pleasure from the light-heartedness of the company and the thoughtfulness as each kept in mind my love for the color purple.

At some point Dick and Barbara returned with some costume bags from a store nearby and helped us checkout before returning to the streets.

"You should've seen her second outfit, why don't you pull alien girls out of the woods more often?!" Roy went off throwing his arm over my shoulder.

"Perhaps it is because not many fall into a woods." I put in, Roy gave me an endearing look that told me I missed some part of his prior statement and I looked away embarrassed

"We should do the Halloween thing together Kori, like Dick and Barbara." he continued, "we could go as Bonnie and Clyde."

I tilted my head in wonder, "If I knew who those people were I am sure I would not object."

"Not a bad idea," Dick cut in.

I look at him regarding his opinion, "Then I shall be this, Bonnie?"

"I'll go get your costumes, Conner, would you mind taking Kori back?" he turned to Conner his dark hair swishing in the cool fall air.

He gave a nod, "No problem. Come on Kori, don't forget your bags."

I clenched my hands and followed Conner to the alleyway we first arrived in. Inside I was glowing knowing I fit in somewhere in this world so new to me.
