A (Fashionable) Date with Destiny

[bag_has_snapped]

Who: Tsubomi Hanasaki and Erika Kurumi
What: The Pretty Cure have been approved for a store. Time to go check it out and get everything set up.
What: Backdated to 3/16
Where: Site of the future Fairy Drop store, Aqures Ixen
Warnings: Excitable blue bundles

Ever since Tsubomi arrived in Crystallis, she wanted to make her mark in some way. Someone had beaten her to the punch in terms of garden shops, but it wasn't until Erika had arrived that she was left without an idea. With her partner and best friend around, she had the perfect idea. And today was the day it was approved. She knew the store wasn't prepared - that was something the two of them would work on - but she had to show Erika.

Almost as excited as her friend was at times, she blindfolded Erika and began to lead her along the way. It felt weird doing this - Tsubomi was usually the one being dragged along.

"Keep up, Erika, I-I can't wait to show you this!" Tsubomi said.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Exclaimed Erika, yawning. "What happened? Did something good happen?"

She was up late after all, working on Biggs' new outfit.

[bag_has_snapped]

"Yes, it did... a-and you need to set your times better, Erika. Especially with what I'm going to show you." she said.

After a bit, she stands Erika in front of the still-empty store. "N-Now... take off your blindfold."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

Removing her blindfold, Erika blinked in the morning sun and peered at the store. "A store? Wait, what's this?"

Looking at it, Erika got a feeling as she turned towards Tsubomi. "No. Way. You didn't! Did you?"

[bag_has_snapped]

Tsubomi smiled as she held up the paperwork. "I-It's ours. I-I felt that we needed something of our own, so... it's the Aqures Ixen branch of Fairy Drop."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

Erika grinned as she threw up her arms in delight. "ALL RIGHT! Though, we're going to need a sign. A big honking sign. That's priority for advertising."

[bag_has_snapped]

Tsubomi couldn't help but giggle as she saw how happy Erika was. "We shouldn't rush this. We're going to need a lot of things, so..."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Yeah but a big honking sign draws in customers!"

"But this is great! I can make up the Fairy Drop logo and put it all on our clothing. Like Windscale but way better." Erika folded her arms. "We'll also need a supply of cloth, as well as a way to make a bit of armored chainmail for underweave in case Adventurers want to go adventuring."

[bag_has_snapped]

"Oh, that's a good idea. Maybe we can try to make things a little more modern with all of that? Do you think it'll work?" Tsubomi asked.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"I don't see why not," said Erika as she began to pace thoughtfully. "There's so many designs we can crib and make on our own, the practicality of modern clothing will definitely serve us in the long run."

[bag_has_snapped]

"I do know one thing that'll help us in the long run, though." Tsubomi said, pulling out the small book-like item Levy gave her for Valentine's Day. "W-we can save on getting colored thread. See?"

And she shows off the book by swiping her finger over the mirror on its front, changing the color of her clothing instantly.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Whoa, where'd you get that?" asked Erika, as she looked over Tsubomi with a grin. "That is so cool!"

[bag_has_snapped]

Tsubomi couldn't help but blush. "L-Levy made it for me. A-As a gift..." she said, shuffling her feet slightly.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Aww yeah, this'll make things a whole lot easier!" Exclaimed Erika, giving Tsubomi a thumbs up. "Good job snagging that girl!"

"So, where to first? A place where we can set up store shelves?"

[bag_has_snapped]

"I think that would be for the best - places to put everything so they can look at them..." Tsubomi said. "M-maybe we can see if there are any Moogles who's want to help?"

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Yeah, where ARE those fuzzballs? I can't get rid of Kuplo Kopp when I need to and then he's never around." Erika huffed a little. "Well, we'll find him soon."
