Children?

Rio and Allen had decided to spend the day at the traveling agency. It was such a lovely day so Camellia, Charles, and Allen sat at a table outside of the agency and ate lunch. While they ate Rio and Hina played with Rio's dog, Leon.

Leon began to playfully bark. Allen stopped eating suddenly and looked over in the direction of the noise. Time seemed to slow down when his eyes got sight of his fiancé hold Hina in her arms as if the child was her own. The smiles on their face showed so much joy.

"What's with that smile of yours, my friend?" Charles spoke up, bringing time back up to speed for Allen. The handsome stylist turned his attention back to the couple. He didn't even know that he was smiling. What he just saw made him excited for the future, a future where he has a child of his own.

"I just had a thought of having a little girl similar to your precious daughter." Allen replied before continuing to eat the lunch Camellia had prepared for them. He'd take a few glances over at Rio and Hina every now and then. Charles and Camellia looked at each other and grinned.

"We know that you will be an excellent father one day, Allen." Camellia said in a gentle tone.

"And Rio will be an excellent mother."

Clothes

Rio began to rethink her choice of letting Allen treat her to a shopping trip. He said that it would only be a small trip; however, that small trip soon became a continuous visit to the changing stalls with more clothes to try on than the last.

She was now following him, watching as Allen skimmed through the clothes rack. Occasionally he would pull an outfit off the rack, other outfits he pushed to the side without hesitation. In a blink of an eye she found herself back in that damned changing room with another pile of clothes.

"Try on those clothes and we'll leave after that." His voice was somewhat muffled from behind the door. She heard him walk away, probably to go sit down on the sofa just outside of the changing rooms.

Every outfit she tried on she walked out of the stall to show Allen. He would motion for her to turn around to show him how it looked from behind, and then he'd tell her to go change into the next outfit.

The farmer had finally reached the final outfit. She gulped as she raised the hanger, a light blue sundress. Never before had she worn a dress in front of the crimson-haired man, shocking considering they've been together for a year and a half now.

She had pink-tinted cheeks as she walked out of the stall, revealing herself to Allen. He smiled at her genuinely. Rio had the urge to run back into the stall, she could feel Allen's eyes staring at her creamy legs.

"It's perfect."

Friends

It was a nice Spring day. Neil, the anti-social animal lover, was taking a stroll around Echo Village. He was heading towards Solara Farm, a farm with a weird name and weird girl running it. Lately he had been making visits to said farm more frequently each passing day.

At one time he had thought he had a crush on her, but let's just say that the stylist beat him to her. It didn't really hurt him, in fact he felt somewhat relieved. Maybe he was relieved he didn't have to have such a weird girlfriend. Sometimes he even wondered how Allen managed to handle the girl.

Neil found Rio by the barn brushing an adult cow. It wasn't just any cow however. It was the cow he gave her the first day they met. Memories flooded back of that day, he smiled. He'd never admit it to her, but he'd consider them friends.

Rio had noticed his presence and was shocked to find him smiling.

"Neil, you look so cute with a smile on your face!" Neil snapped out of his thoughts, his face began to heat up. Before she could say anything else, he dashed out of the farm.

Damn that stylist, he has rubbed off on her!
