14AmyChan: Okay, I know that last chapter was so not original at all, so I'm making up for that in this chapter!

Train: How?

14AmyChan: well, it's not totally original

Eve: Liar!

Sven: We don't call people liars, Eve.

Eve: Sorry, Sven.

14AmyChan: O_O anyways, I'd like to thank Bunyluver14 for her amazing ideas, I probably wouldn't have thought of this on my own, and I hope that I do the idea justice~!

Saya: SO THANK YOU BUNNY-CHAN! ^^

Eve: Miss Amy doesn't own anything and hopes you enjoy the chapter.

"I can't find Saya" Train ran into the kitchen of their small hotel room with no breath to spare. Sven was working on what looked like one of his suitcases and Eve was eating a small meal of fish. The sight of fish made Train want to cringe, but he had to stay focused. "Have you guys seen her?"

"Saya went shopping with Rinslet" Eve said as soon as her mouth was devoid of food. Train simply stood there dumbfounded as Eve explained. "She got an email and left for some reason. When I asked, she said that she was going to get Rinslet to wear one, so I'm pretty sure they're shopping."

Train, finally getting it, darted to the community laptop. It was called the community laptop because everyone used it. But Saya had a difficult time remembering to log out of her e-mail, so Train used that to his advantage. And in case you were wondering, no, he wasn't stalking her. He was just making sure that they weren't doing what he thought they were doing.

Soon, the desired window popped up, and Train read the simple messages between Rinslet and Saya.

"I can't believe you can wear these!" Rinslet complained from within the changing stall. Saya held thirteen rejects and two maybes. There were still two left to try on. "They're perfectly awful! You can't move at all!"

"Enough to move and shoot" Saya rubbed in as Rinslet came out of the stall in a purple Yukata. There were little pink diamonds as the print and on her feet she wore little wooden shoes. It matched her hair just right. "That one looks good on you."

"Hmmn…" Rinslet mused as she looked in the mirror. "It's a bit obvious, and it won't match my wig…" Rinslet went straight back into the stall to discard reject fourteen. "And you need to try stuff on, too!"

"Why?" Saya asked. She was suspicious from the start, but had decided this would be the only time to force miss flashy into a Yukata. "You're the one going to the party."

"But I can't go alone!" Rinslet whined, coming out in a green Yukata. The prints this time were leaves. Rinslet tried to spin around, like she'd seen Saya do once, but ended up almost falling over. It was a good thing Saya had caught her. "I think I'll stick to my style… Speaking of my style…" Rinslet's eyes seemed to take on a mischievous glare. "I tried on all these, so you get to try on seventeen outfits that I pick!"

"What!" Saya yelped, dropping all the Yukatas she had been holding. The thought of trying on Rinslet's style horrified her beyond belief. A psychopathic murderer was one thing; Rinslet's style was something else entirely. That was a new monster completely.

"That was the deal, I try on however many outfits you choose, then I get to pick that number of outfits for you" Rinslet rushed into the style and changed back into her plaid tank top, mini-skirt, and furry coat. She came out and instantly dragged Saya all around the store, telling her how much fun this was going to be.

"You haven't liked a single one of my outfits!" Rinslet pouted as she looked at the poor sixteen rejections. Cute clothing like that should not be wasted. Eve at least had style, Saya had… well, individuality. "This is the last one, so at least come out when you try it on!"

"I came out for that red one!" Saya protested as Rinslet handed the last outfit over the door. She felt Saya grab it and let go. "Even you said it didn't look good on me"

"I wasn't really looking for you until outfit twelve" Rinslet defended, waiting as Saya changed into the last dress. "The red one would have probably looked better on me than you." Rinslet heard the rustle of clothes stop and assumed that Saya was done. "I want to see this one!" she reminded her.

Saya came out of the stall and Rinslet gasped. Then she smiled. She watched as Saya went to the mirror and checked all the angles. As Saya's expression softened, Rinslet smiled to herself. Rinslet, you are so good! she cheered herself on.

"You know who would really like to see you in that?" Rinslet asked, breaking Saya out of her thought.

Saya turned around, a curious expression on her face. The dress was perfect. It matched with both her hair and her eyes perfectly, and it didn't look like a Yukata.

"Train would"

Rinslet's words shocked Saya for a second, and then she gained her footing again. Saya smiled when she finally caught on.

"All right, what is it you're really after?" Saya asked, mentally smacking herself for not realizing this sooner.

"I'm just trying to be a friend here" Rinslet backed off, knowing that it was probably too late and that the normally Yukata-clad girl had caught on.

"I don't think so. Did you check the price tag on this thing?" Saya asked, flipping out the price tag for Rinslet to see.

"I have the spare cash"

"From where?"

"I can't tell you that."

"What do you want from me?"

"It's not just you"

"Me and Train?"

"Exactly, I just need you two to come with me to a party" Rinslet finally just cut to the business part of this entire trip. The plan had been to get her to love an expensive dress; walk up to the cashier, then put the girl on the spot with the decision. Rinslet never expected her to catch on before the cashier, though…

"Whose?"

"Madame Freesia has invited the lovely Elena Pierce to her fiftieth birthday party" Rinslet began, getting giddy despite herself. Saya nodded at her to continue. "Miss Elena Pierce is supposed to be younger sister of a young capitalist from Loire province."

"And this involves me how?" Saya asked, getting a little bored. If the idea was supposed to get her hooked onto a dress and then put her on the spot, the plan had obviously failed. She could live without the dress. Buut, it did look good on her…

"I've been able to attend the parties before, but now I've been asked to bring my older brother" Rinslet presented her dilemma to a deadpanned Saya.

"If you wanted to ask Train to go as an older brother, then you could have just asked him" Saya stated, extremely peeved off. Rinslet probably wanted her to ask Train for her. Well, it wasn't going to happen.

"That's not it" Rinslet sighed, catching Saya by surprise. "I've always been able to attend the parties by myself because I always told them that my older brother and his wife were vacationing or busy or something…"

"And… what is it—?" Saya started to ask, then was interrupted by Rinslet.

"Oh, come on, you can help me, right? Onee-chan?" Rinslet winked as she addressed Saya by her apparent new nickname. Saya instantly went into a mode of shock. She had kissed Train, yes. Their relationship was growing, yes. But this? It might be a bit too much! Maybe Train would— "And besides, I think he'd kill to see you in that" Rinslet nodded at the dress, which Saya was still in.

"I-I" Saya tried to get herself together before she allowed herself to speak, but it was too late. So since she had already started to speak, she thought she might as well continue. "I don't thing that Train-kun would…"

"Would go to a high-class party with the girl he obviously likes and has an all-you-can-eat buffet and also another treat?" Rinslet finished the thought with all the positives. There was only one negative to all of this: Train and Saya would have to pretend they were married. Though that would probably kill all of Rinslet's chances, it was something she would just have to put up with…

"Another treat?" Saya asked, her ears perked.

"Well, this party is for personal business, but there is also Sweeper business there, too" Rinslet said smoothly, having already foreseen this problem. "With someone that wealthy, you have to expect a few… party crashers…"

"Hmm" Saya turned over the options in her head. On the on hand, she would be attending a party with Rinslet—a known thief-for-hire—and Train, who would have to play the part of Rinslet's sister and Saya's… husband. Neither of those titles made Saya comfortable, but on the other hand, Saya would like to go to a party with Train, and if the party crasher was big enough, they could find a meal ticket… "I need to talk to Train about it."

"Nope" Rinslet put the idea down immediately. "His brain would probably implode, so I'm asking you. If you say no, then you don't get the dress or the shot at some money to repay that pesky debt. If you say yes, then you get a dress, a fun night, and probably enough to wipe you guys clean out of debt."

Saya eyed Rinslet warily. Saya's phone was in her Yukata, back in the stall. Rinslet had stepped between her and the stall to eliminate that possibility. Yes, Saya could probably take the thief on, but that would most likely involve ruining the dress, and that couldn't happen. Saya couldn't pay to have it replaced or even to buy it. So she had to make a choice.

Should she say yes and go, or simply say no?
