Chapter 14: more preparations

            A half an hour later they still hadn't found a dress.  Max had brought out many but none met the high standards Kid had set. 

            There had been a few exceptionally beautiful dresses.  One was a lavender dress.  It had spaghetti straps but also a small jacket to cover them.  It had lightly hugged her curves and accented her blue eyes well.  The dress had gone down to her ankle and there had been white pumps that came with it. 

But unfortunately for Max the neckline was to low for her.

            "B-but Lady!"  Max pleaded. "It but goes straight across it shows very little!"

            "No." was all she said.

            Radditz sat reading the book he got for Kid because she forbade him to see her until she had chosen a dress.

            Fifteen minutes later and ten dresses they finally hit the jackpot. 

            It was an oriental style dress, from a strange planet called, Ee-arth Max explained

But Ee-arth was left alone, mostly because Frieza saw no reason to take it and forgot about it.

            Kid took one look at it and gasped at its beauty, but than she saw the slits.  "Holy crap, look at those slits." She almost yelled.

            Max took it in stride, "Of course dear!  Look here there are pants to go underneath."

            He handed the dress and pants to Kid and she disappeared into the dressing room.  When she came back out she didn't say anything, she just looked at Max.  He stared for a moment than said, "I think we have it.   Of course that is if you approve."

            Great I've got a gay guy ogling me…oh well

            "It's pretty good…a bit tight but not to bad, I can live with that," then she added, "Put your eyes back in their sockets.  No one looks at me like that." 

            Max was suddenly snapped back into reality.  "Y-yes of course ma'am my apologies." 

            "Don't call me ma'am."  Kid sighed.

            "Sorry, sorry."

            "Yo, Radditz!"  Radditz looked up from his book, "You can come in now."

            Radditz shut the book and walked towards the rooms where Kid and Max were.  He got to the outer room where Kid came out of her dressing room and saw Max.  "Where's the Brat?" he asked.

            "Over here."  She was leaning against the corner of a wall with her arms folded across her chest.

            "Oh come on, stand up straight."  He was focusing entirely on her face, sullen but somewhat satisfied.

            She grumbled for a moment before standing up straight and uncrossing her arms.

            Radditz's eyes popped out and his jaw dropped.  "Wow…um…wow" 

            The oriental dress was beautiful.  It was all silk the main color was black but embroidered into the silk were many enchanting patterns.  Mostly done in red silk thread but with snatches of black silk thread here and there.  The intricate patterns were what really made the dress.  They stood out against the midnight black silk, mostly flowers and leaves.  Numerous tiny flowers randomly bunched together.  Of course they weren't separate flowers but bunches and they were connected as if by a stem with black silk thread nearly invisible. 

            But not only were there flowers but leaves as well.  Slender leaves mostly red but with black leaves intertwined and functioned as both leaves and stem.  And amidst all of these were small black circles filled with patterns, triangles circles squares, intricate patterns to complicated to describe.  (Really…they are too complicated to describe...I tried its not working…so that what I had to say.)  They looked like Christmas tree ornaments bulbs with designs.

            The collar was a high traditional Chinese collar that went the throat and seemed to be connected by a decorative bow.  The bow was layers of thin silk wrapped together into a pattern, folded, creased, looking almost like two flowers connected by the tops and having stems.  Or a comet with its tail flying out behind it.  There were three of these bows.  One on the neck and two others down and to the left in a straight row seemingly buttoning but the shirt but it was pure decoration.   

Than were the slits.  There were two slits up to mid thigh on the dress.  Underneath this silk dress was a pair of pants.  Also black silk they had red silk thread embroidered on them in the shape of two dragons.  One running up each side of her leg.

The dragon's heads were at the bottom of the pants about six inches from the bottom of the pants.  The tails end you couldn't see.  It disappeared underneath the dress at the slit.                  As she said the dress was a bit tight around her thighs and waist.  But not badly it basically just hugged her skin.  Not tightly but gently hugged her skin.  The top half of the dress also just barely hugged skin.  Even less than before but it didn't hang off of her. 

            It only took a few seconds for Radditz to take this in and then he walked over to Kid, ruffled her hair and said, "Hey sis!  You look good…who would've thought that my imoto would be this cute?" 

            Kid glared at him she didn't like him ruffling her hair.  And she despised being called cute. 

            "Radditz."  She growled warningly.  He laughed and stopped ruffling her hair and she stood for a moment before getting uncomfortable in the silence and declared "Well!  I am all ready I'm going to my bedroom!"  But Radditz once again caught her arm before she could leave. 

            Max exclaimed, "Done?!  Of course not!  We are just barely getting started my dear!  We still have shoes, accessories, make up, and hair left to do!"

            Kid groaned and than sighed "Let's get it over with then."

            "First the shoes!  Now what kind of shoes?  Let's see just head into that room and I will be right a long."

            Kid started towards the room but before Radditz could go after her Max muttered to him, "Almost enough to make a guy go straight eh Radditz?"

            Radditz raised his eyebrows and said, "One, she's my sister, Two, yes she is pretty, three, stay away from her, and four, I am already straight."

            Max's eyes widened, "Oh, I thought you had just managed to pick her up.  But I guess not.  You couldn't see anything under those clothes of hers." 

            Radditz glared and Max eeped and ran towards the shoe room with Radditz following at a much slower pace. 

            Radditz got into the room and Kid was asking Max if this would take as long as last time.  Max told her only if she made specifications like she did last time.

            Kid smirked and said "Can't do that.  SO I will just lay the few specifications I have out for you now.  I want boots.  They can't have a heel.  They have to be comfortable. And well, I would like it if they were leather but they don't have to be."

            Max sighed in relief, "That's not too bad.  Your size?"

            Kid said, "Oh, uh, 10" (American size…I think European size that's like a 42 something like that can't remember for sure…)

            "Okay be right back."

            He returned within five minutes to find Kid reading a book and Radditz reading another.  Kid was also grumbling about how Radditz held back on her in payment with the books.  "Hey!"  Radditz replied, "I expected you to argue more!"

            "Jerk headed fart head."

            Max was surprised "Not very polite is she?"

            Kid snapped "No! Not right now!  And don't talk as if I am not here!"

            "Well miss,"

            "Don't call me miss!! …please."

            "Well excuse me!!  But you never told me your name so what am I supposed to do?!"

            "Oh, I am so sorry!  I was being so rude and it was my fault!  Gomen! My name's Kid."

            Radditz was grinning into his book because of Max's expression.  He was shocked at the change in her attitude.

            "A bit bipolar isn't she?"

            Kid again glared and said, "Well sorry for being so nice, well I suppose it was a bit scary but hey!  Oh well!  Uh, what about those shoes?"

            Kid was exasperated and wanted to get this over with. Now.

            Max showed her the boots and she tried one pair of them on.  They were black suede and just above ankle high.  They were the kind that fold down on themselves and have wrinkles.  They didn't have a heel and to Kid she felt as if she were wearing a pair of Tennis shoes or Training boots.  "Yep.  These are them!  I want these."

            "Th-the first pair?" 

            "Yeah!  They are comfortable and they look okay that's why."

            Max shrugged "Okay sure.  Well now can we make them look better? Hmm... I've got it! You see the space between where the dragon heads end and where the hem of the pants are?  If we tuck that into the top of the boot and let some of it billow out…it gives them some shape!  They don't just go straight up and down your leg anymore!  They are wider at the boot and get narrow as you go up! (Like the pant leg of goku's gi.  His gi is tucked into his boots it looks cool…that's what this is but not quite that big…)

            Kid nodded with her eyes half closed fine, fine!  Just don't cover up the dragon heads.

            "Of course not!  Done."

            Radditz looked up that was quick, three minutes…good.

            "Well kid, let's go look at the accessories and than we will go get make up."

            "Wait a second.  Don't I look fine now?  Let me just go.  I don't want make up or accessories."

            "That isn't a choice Kid.  Not at all."

            The battle of wills is on…who will win.  Radditz and Max?  Or Kid?
