Selphie wasted no time in withdrawing a large amount of money from the bank accounts belonging to herself, Rinoa and Quistis. They all earned a lot of Gil, much of which was put away for retirement. However, even with all their retirement stocked up, they had a lot to spare.
Once that was done, she headed back over to where the others were waiting. The new girls had been squeezed into clothes that either didn't suit or didn't fit – Tifa was wearing a pair of Rinoa's shorts with one of Quistis' peach shirts, doing up as many buttons as she could. Yuffie was wearing one of Selphie's white t-shirts with brown shorts. Aeris was the only one who'd been allowed to keep the clothes she was wearing on.
They walked in to one of the shops. Rinoa lead the way, deciding to dress them from the underwear up. Tifa's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of the padded bra. She picked one up and looked at Rinoa inquisitively. "Do people actually WEAR these?"
"Yeah, some people do. I've got one at home just in case I should need it."
"I can't imagine why anyone would need one, but it wouldn't be pretty if I tried it." Tifa put the bra back down.
"That's perfectly understandable. Selphie likes them and her Wonderbras, but you and I don't really need them." Ignoring the dig at Selphie, Tifa asked Rinoa how she could get measured and have one that fitted properly. Rinoa directed her to the changing rooms, finding Yuffie and Aeris already in the middle of fittings.
"I used to blush whenever I was around him," Quistis was confiding in Aeris. "My feelings have changed since, but I don't think he even noticed them in the first place. Not much of a one for emotion."
"Really?" Aeris asked. "He seems open and honest to me."
"Honest most definitely, but Squall's as close-mouthed as they come if you get on to the subject of feelings. I don't think he trusts them. He's always tried to be entirely independent," Quistis informed the other girl.
"Well, we'll have to change that," Aeris decided. Quistis laughed; despite no longer having feelings for him, watching Squall was a habit for her, and she'd seen his almost naked longing for the sweet girl standing right in front of her. Aeris' statement had just confirmed her suspicions.
They soon managed to get the others properly kitted out. Yuffie was clad in a dark green t-shirt, long creamy lace-up boots and shorts of the same colour. Rinoa looked as good as usual in a white shirt and knee-length skirt. Quistis accented her bosom with a low v-necked pale green top and regular jeans with her usual boots. Tifa had opted for a plain black dress with white stitching that flared below the waist, topped with black peep-toe sandals. Aeris ventured out of pink and gone instead for a polo shirt the same colour as her eyes and denim ¾ length jeans, with white sandals. Selphie was dressed in her trademark yellow, in the form of a strappy top and short skirt, with her usual brown boots. Once dressed to standard, they returned to the Presidential Palace and were directed to the boys.
