Justice looked around Jamie and hesitantly back towards the dressing rooms before taking the dress from her hand.
"Okay, I'll just see if it fits."
After killing that giant sandwich with her bare hands and stomach, she was not feeling too light or pretty. A winter parka was much more to her general feeling. But she did like the dress, so she went back to the dressing area to try it on. It was light, breathing material that literally floated just above her skin. But with it's generously cut neckline and delicate straps she felt she was in mortal danger of spilling out into the world.
"It's ...."
She called out from the dressing room, turning to one side and then the other. Her mother's foreign genes giving her just a little more shape than the average Japanese girl. But she loved the way it moved, it was like wind you could wear.
"really nice."
She admitted, standing on her tip toes for another view.

Jamie had took up a seat on a little bench across from the fitting rooms. She heard Justice liking the look and the feel of the dress she picked out.
Really? Can I see? I've gotta see this for myself...
There was a couple of reasons why Jamie had brought Justice to this place in particular. The first obviously was to show her some nice places around the city of course, but the second reason why here specifically, was to make sure she at least had something nice to wear for a future appointment that Jamie had been notified about just a few hours prior.
She had a good feeling the dress would've looked great on her new friend. Asuka had the kind of physique that she would look great in just about anything she wore. But still, it doesn't hurt to look. ;D |

It was quiet for a second or two before she replied.
"Okay."
Justice opened the door and stepped just a little outside of the safety of her room. She looked stiff as a bored, and it was obvious she had no idea how to hold her shoulders. So she fidgeted a little, and played with the fabric before giving a modest, little turn.
"I wish I was in Hawaii."
She meant that in a couple of ways.

Wow.  She looked...incredible. Even in that fidgety, nervous-to-the-point-of-being-cute way that Justice was, she looked incredible. It made her wonder for a second how Juan Carlo, a man, had such an eye for the female form had he did in designing such a beautiful article of clothing. Justice looked flawless. When the weather gets warmer, I tell you, you'll have guys worshiping the ground you walk with that on. You look absolutely gorgeous! Oh yeah, we're getting that for you. No questions about it. ;D
It doesn't even need to be sized...that's so unfair...it's like it was tailor made for you! Juan Carlo? I think you have yourself a sale.She smiled again as she got up from the bench. There was that fidgety, nervous-to-the-point-of-being-cute way that Justice was thing after all. She rested a hand on one of Asuka's bare shoulders. Don't be so nervous though, Asuka. Just take a deep breath and feel...natural. It's a pretty package, yes, but it doesn't change who you are inside.There was a mirror outside of the fitting rooms as well. Jaime tunred her towards it, and they both looked at themselves through it. When you're happy with yourself both inside and out, there's no better feeling in the world.  |

Justice tried to relax, but it didn't work. The years of being awkward and sticking out in Japan were not going to be erased by a pretty dress and the truth. It just wasn't that simple. It would take time and growth, and even then? Maybe it would never change. Her body had always felt like a second hand glove bought for her by her mother on her birthday.
"I know."
Justice did know it was true. It just wasn't true for her. She turned away from the mirror and smiled.
"I really love the dress. I'm going to buy it."
She also couldn't wait to get back into all three of her shirts and the quilted parka either. As she changed, she asked Jamie.
"Aren't you going to get anything?"

Oh yes, I think I see one I've definitely got to get.She had her eyes on this beaded halter dress from when Justice went to the fitting room after she passed by it.  The beads are really what set it in her mind. It reminded her of the necklaces the women used to wear when she was around her mother. It looked very natural. The color wasn't too bad either. How it made her long for warmer weather.  She pulled it from it racked home and placed it in front of her body, checking it out in the mirror. Yeah, I think this would look good on me, don't you?Now, she realized that Justice probably wasn't the fashionista type of girl/ Still though, it's nice to hear what someone else thinks. |

Justice looked over the top of dressing room door. After a little bit of thought her head disappeared and she answered.
"Sweet potato. It is very sweet potato."
She pulled a second shirt down over her head.
"I love sweet potatoes, especially in the winter."
It sounded like a positive 'dress' review from Justice, as she brushed some hair from her face.

That actually sounds...yummy.Sweet potatoes. They were delicious little things, weren't they? Made the prospect of her body inside of this dress that much more appealing. It also made Jamie think that Justice must think about food 24/7. She must the type of girl who could actually eat a whale, but not gain a pound. The gods...they had a way with blessing some people with good metabolism. I think I'll try it on, just to see.So she slipped into the fitting room next door to Justice. Looks like it was her turn. Moments later, she looked at herself with a smile. The dress fit beautifully on her. It hugged all of the right places, and the halter showed off her well developed neck and shoulders in a way that screamed "strength" and "beauty". It's perfect!Trading places so to speak, it was Justice who was now sitting on the bench waiting for her. Jamie opened the door and stepped out with her soon to be new dress on. Can I pick 'em, or what? How do I look? |

"Like you have a nice date tonight?"
Justice inquired, Jamie was as powerful a woman as she had ever seen in her life. But at the same time she was more feminine than Justice had ever achieved or even felt. Maybe that's what you got from having a strong mother figure, like Jamie had, in your life. Instead of Justice who, for all practical purposes, had no mother at all. But Justice didn't go down that mental route. She just gave Jamie a big, cheesy, two thumbs up.
"Ah!"
Justice dug through her pockets, around the gloves and pulled out her well used, digital camera.
"Pose!"
The camera flashed and captured Jamie looking like a yummy, sweet potato fresh from the oven.

Ta-da!
She struck her cheesiest sexy pose. They playfully laughed with one another before Jamie went back into the fitting room to get back into her street clothes. As she was changing, she looks over the door slightly and asks Justice
Did you see anyplace else you wanted to check out while we were walking here?
There was maybe one place or two Jamie saw herself, but she wondered maybe if there was someplace that interested her friend. There were so many interesting places after all. |

The two had been running around, eating and shopping at a steady pace. Justice was just about ready to put her aching, cold feet up somewhere and rest for a while. It was too cold to play standard New York tourist, plus all the food she had been consuming was starting to weigh her down.
"Let's take a break, I feel my energy is low."
It was that 'after a good day' tired. It was kind of like resting your chin on a bag of marshmallows. Something Justice had done many times in her never ending battle with self vs image vs sugar. She looked out the window of the shop, but didn't see any stores that looked like they could be carrying marshmallows.
"Ah, well. It's still a good day."

Alright, I'm almost geared up now. Let's get checked out and head back then.Indeed, after being out and about, maybe Justice's suggestion was the best course of action. Back to where they were staying, where it's so much more cozier. Where they could order some hot cocoa to warm up their cold bones from room service...with marshmallows.  Where they could kick back and relax. In a few weeks time, the word "relax" would have to be removed from their vocabulary. But for now, everything was great. They walked out of the boutique after saying by to merry Juan Carlo, each with a stylish shopping bag in hand with one of his beautiful creations inside. It might have been cold. It might be busy. But when you take the time to notice, something that many a New Yorker claims they don't have the time to do, you'd notice that New York isn't all that bad. In fact, so far it was treating these two pretty good. |
