Event 10: Shopping
"Dodo! Dodo!" The voice echoed in the large structure despite the constant murmur of the crowd. "Hurry up, Dodo!" Valentina stomped her feet and threw a tantrum, as a mountain of bags and boxes approached. "I don't have all day!"
A tail made of black feathers with red at the tips, could be seen sticking out from under the mountain of bags and boxes. That, and the fact that it was moving, were the only signs that there was a living being under it.
Peach and Valentina recognized each other right away. "You!" Valentina pointed in surprise. The suspense hung in the air, and Peach wondered if Valentina intended to pick a fight. Peach helped expose Valentina's lies at Nimbus Land, and chase her out of the palace, restoring the crown to the rightful king and queen. However, Valentina's reaction was not what Peach expected. "Did you do something with your hair?"
Peach blinked at the question. It was very unexpected... "It has grown a little longer..."
"Oh..." Valentina patted the bird on her head, its wings were now just below her shoulders, "mine too." Valentina glanced at Dodo, he had put down the many bags and boxes while she was distracted. "Pick up those things, Dodo! Stop being such a slow poke, I still have more stores to visit!" Valentina intended to give Booster's credit card a good work out. "There are some nice new shoes at Kalsado's shop, you should check them out."
"New shoes, just what I need! Let's go!" Wendy squealed. Valentina continued her shopping spree and Wendy hastily led Peach towards the shoe store.

"Princess Wendy and Princess Peach! Welcome, welcome!" Kalsado, a koopa troopa wearing fancy shoes and an orange shell, welcomed them. The shop had many shoes on display, similar to a museum. The walls were decorated with paintings of shoes, and even the chairs were shaped like shoes.
"What new things did you get?" Wendy loved to buy a new pair of shoes as often as possible.

After Wendy was satisfied with her new shoes, they went on to shop for ribbons, then jewelry. Peach's shopping sprees with Wendy had become more frequent lately, at Wendy's request. Peach observed that it was more like a girls' day out then a mother-daughter shopping trip. That was the way they both liked it, even if technically, Peach was now Wendy's official step-mother.
