Chapter 13

Dress Up Date

"Listen up, girls~!" Kyouko says in front of her main Amusement Club members. "From this day forward..." She puts a hand on the Student Council President's shoulder. "I am taking Rise Matsumoto...on a date~!"

There is silence, no reaction from the three other girls. Rise just sweat drops from this as the energetic blonde puffs her cheeks out.

"Booo~!" She whines. "Why isn't anyone saying anything!?"

"Well, there is no surprise that you want to go out with Matsumoto-sempai," Yui says. "You've been dying to do this all week."

"Is it really a date, though?" Chinatsu questions. "I mean you already have Yui-sempai, right?"

Kyouko chuckles. "I'm not taking her on a REAL date. More like a play date~!"

"Why didn't you say that before?" Yui asks with an annoyed expression.

"Hey, a date sounds more fun!" The blonde clears her throat and turns to the raven haired girl. "So, Rise! Are you in?"

The quiet girl whispers.

"Oh, you'll see in a bit~!" Kyouko says as she takes the president's hand. "Now then...OFF WE GOOOOOO~!" She makes a run for it, dragging Rise along.

"Have a good time!" Akari calls.

**Later**

Kyouko and Rise arrive at the clothing store at the mall. Rise is panting from exhaustion from all that running, but Kyouko doesn't look like she's out of breath. The president wonders why, though.

"Okay, Rise~!" Kyouko says, clasping her hands together. "Ready to get started~?"

Rise whispers a question.

Kyouko gives her the trademark grin as she holds up a bag of clothing. "Why, we're going to try on the outfits I designed for my new doujinshi! We're not here to buy clothing here, so this is the perfect opportunity for us to try on my new outfits! Come on~!"

She takes the student council president's wrist and drags her toward one of the big fitting rooms before the quiet girl could protest. Kyouko closes the door, sets the bag down and gently guides Rise towards the mirror.

"Now then, there are a bunch of outfits I want you to try on, but there is one outfit that you should try on the most. And there's one for me, too."

She digs into her bag and pulls out a gothic lolita outfit with an umbrella and hands it to Rise. The quiet girl whispers with an eyebrow raised.

"Just put it on, Rise. I got to plan this out by cosplay. That will help me a lot for my doujinshi." Kyouko digs into her bag again.

Rise glances at the clothing and then back at the mirror. She would've refused this offer, but since the energetic blonde insisted, she has no other choice. Besides, what story could she be planning for her doujinshi anyways? She strips herself from her school uniform and puts on the gothic lolita outfit like Kyouko asked. It turns out to be a long dress with a hat that has kitten ears and a tail on the back of the dress. The strange thing is...the dress also comes with an eyepatch. Rise raises an eyebrow in confusion and whispers.

"Oh, don't worry, Rise~!" Kyouko says. "You wear it on your left eye."

The quiet girl stares at the eyepatch for at least a minute before putting it on. She then looks in the mirror. She is sure she looks even more ridiculous than putting on the outfit itself. She turns to Kyouko for approval when she gasps at what the blonde is wearing. The outfit consists of a unbuttoned white shirt, but showing part of her cleavage, a blue plaid skirt and white baggy socks with brown metal boots. On her hair is a long blue ribbon. Rise could've sworn her nose is about to bleed right now.

"Hehe! Like what you see~?" Kyouko twirls around 360 degrees.

Rise whispers.

"Ahahaha~! I guess you don't know what this is all about yet." She walks over towards Rise, have both of them look in the mirror and the blonde drapes her arms around the quiet girl. "I watched this really cool game called "S**an K**ura" and thought...why not create a doujinshi about some of the girls. So, I got to work on designing the outfits and decided to have you be the first to try one of them on." She leans closer to Rise. "And honestly...you closely resemble that petite girl when you wear that. I'm so glad I had you try that one on."

Rise blushes and gives a small smile. She now gets her gig snd honestly, for her, this is a nice change. For her to go out and try new things, such as going with Kyouko and have fun with her little adventures. She can understand why the Amusement club has so much fun when she is around. She now learned to have fun herself. The quiet girl turns her head and whispers.

"Oh, no problem, Rise~!" Kyouko says. "You're always welcome to try on my outfits whenever you want. It's on me~!"

Rise lets out a soft giggle and whispers. She then leans in and gives the blonde a peck on the cheek, making both of them blush at the same time. Kyouko places her hand on the spot where the quiet girl kissed her, her eyes widening and then hits her palm with her fist.

"I think I got it!" Kyouko says excitedly. "I found my inspiration! A petite girl who is lonely and an energetic perverted blonde comes and comforts her! And the two fall in love! Oh, this is so awesome!" She takes Rise's hands in hers. "Oh, thank you so much Rise! I will never forget this~!"

Rise sweat drops at this, but whispers with a nervous smile. All in all, this was a fun little adventure for her and Kyouko. And she has no regrets.
