Hook decided to take Fiona's advice and started paying attention to all the different wonders out of the window. The road they were travelling on was a lot smoother than any of the roads he was used to. The houses didn't look that much different but the equipment that was being used on the farms they went past certainly had much more complex than anything from his time. As they were nearing the town Hook saw many different changes. As Fiona had said there were many cars on the road and they came in all different colours shapes and sizes. There were many people on the streets and their state of undress certainly had Hook raising an eyebrow. Women were wearing trousers, skirts and shorts as it was a warm day in summer. The men were wearing t-shirts and shorts or trousers.
"You weren't joking when you said styles have changed my dear. Some of the clothing these women are wearing is scandalous, soo much leg on show. Even ladies of the night in my day would wear more when out and about."
Fiona smiled at this. "You should the see what some women wear on nights out these days."
"Do you expect me to wear what the men I am seeing are wearing?"
"I think maybe we can get away with some trousers and t-shirts. It will certainly be more comfortable that what you are wearing at the moment. You must be extremely warm."
"I'm sure I will look good in whatever you put me in and if not I will be happy for you to get me out of it."
Fiona just ignored his final comment and pulled into a parking space outside the local supermarket.
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
As soon a Hook exited the car there was a lot of interest in him from passers by. The men making comments about him being from a renaissance faire or just strange. The ladies in general just kept staring and giggling if hook caught their eye. Hook loved this interest from the ladies winking at a few of them which he deemed were the best looking. Fiona had a time getting hook to the door as he kept stopping to look at the ladies in the car park.
"James are you going to take this long everywhere we go?"
"What's wrong my dear are you jealous that I am paying attention to other women?" Hook smirked. "Don't worry you have nothing to worry about you are now the only woman for me."
"James just get in here we don't have all day and I'd like to get to my house before dark." Fiona blushed turning the other way to avoid looking at Hook.
Hook followed Fiona into the building looking at all the strange new contraptions that this time period had on offer. When he entered the building he got very confused about where the music was coming from, the constant beeping which seemed to be coming from strange machines at the front of the store and the strange metal boxes on wheels that people were pushing around.
"Fiona my dear where is the music coming from? Is it a contraption like the one in your car?"
"Yes James now please keep up the clothes rails are nearer that back of the store."
"What about those strange beeping machines at the front?"
"Those are the tills, they are used to scan the objects that you want to buy so that the prices can be added up and you can pay."
"Have people lost the ability to add up in their head."
"I suppose some people have who are running the tills can't really add but the tills just make it quicker for people to pass through the shop meaning that the shop gets more money. Now I think we should get you a pair of jeans and a pair of trousers and a few tops."
"What are jeans? Why can't I get something in leather?"
"Definitely no to the leather. I don't want to be walking down the street with someone who looks like they are working as a strip-o-gram or someone who has just walked out of a renaissance faire. Jeans are a type of material which they make into trousers. Do you know what leg length you are?" Fiona asked looking through the rails for something that looked like it might suit him without any rips or chains.
"All my clothes are tailor made for me, I don't ask about sizes as I don't need to know."
"Fine I'm going to give you a few items which I want you to try on in the changing room." Fiona picked out a few sizes and styles and handed them to Hook.
"Right the changing room is there behind you please go and try these on. If you want my opinion I will be outside but we will need to find you at least one outfit you like from here today as we can't go back to base with you looking like that."
Hook entered the changing room smirking at the female attendant as he passed her earning a giggle. Fiona sat on the chairs on the outside of the changing room rolling her eyes at the interaction between Hook and the changing assistant. She did have some feelings of jealousy towards the girl but was trying to play it off as annoyance towards Hook and the time he was taking to do a simple task.
Hook finally exited the changing rooms around 15 minutes later in a black t shirt and skin tight jeans. Hook caught Fiona checking out his bottom when he was doing a turn in front of the mirror.
"See something you like sweetheart? It can be all yours if you want it."
Fiona went very red turned away from Hook very quickly with the pretence of looking at some socks which were on a stand beside the changing rooms.
"Are we finished here as I would like to get home?"
"I think so sweetheart, what do you think of the outfit? I think I already know but I would like you to look at me again."
"You look fine now can we get going?"
"You are focusing very intently on those socks my dear, is there something very special about them that makes them more interesting than looking at me?"
Fiona looked up at hook making sure that she didn't look him in the eye.
"As I said you look fine, you will fit in with this time period. Now let's get to the till and get back to base I could do with a drink."
"Now you're talking my language my dear, I will be just a minute to get changed."
After another 30 minutes Fiona finally got Hook out of the store due to him being interested in everything as it was all new. They were finally on their way to the base.
