The next few pictures were varied. At first, Damian was content with scrunching up Raquel's face for her, kissing her in silly ways, and it wasn't until the last few pictures came that he began letting loose to making his own silly faces and poses.
At the end, he felt silly and stupid, but Raquel was laughing so it didn't matter. Her happiness was enough of a reward for anything degrading he had to do.

Raquel was still beaming and giggling as she hugged onto Damian's arm, pushing a button to get two copies of he pictures before exiting the booth. "Here, Darling you were brilliant!" She smiled widely, kissing him recklessly before handing him his little strip of pictures. "That wasn't so bad now hm?" She asked, grasping his arm and looking up at him expectantly with dazzling, sparkling eyes.

"No, no it wasn't..."
Looking at those pictures gave Damian a new perspective on himself. Of course he was handsome, and pretty people could do whatever they wanted, but he needed to enjoy himself, and laugh more often than he did...
He would keep those pictures in his wallet always. That was his new promise to himself.
"Where to next? What exciting trip have you planned out for us, my dear?" Damian gestured out to the entire mall stretched out before them. Three levels of shops that stretched on both ways, where nearly everything was sold. A shopper's dream made real.

Raquel was still smiling as she slipped the little pictures away into her purse before looking up. "Um...how about we scan a few lower end clothing stores...maybe even some privately owned little consignment shops. They're no the flashiest, but they've got some really unique stuff..." She noted, thinking. "Then we can get some junk food thats absolutely terrible for us, but we wont care- and then..." She pondered, looking around, trying to formulate a plan to get Damian to loosen up. "We'll make it up as we go!" She said finally, smiling even brighter if it were possible.

"Lead the way, please!" Damian held out his arm to her as if they were escorting each other to the ball. He didn't know about lower-end consignment shops, since such places were simply taboo in his world. But, maybe if he spent money there, it would help the business, and perhaps give them the chance to branch out and grow...
It seemed like a good idea.

Raquel nodded with a little cute shrug as she took Damian's arm and led him off. When They had been here before, Damian had taken her through the higher end section of the mall, a place she had never dared entered thus feeling a bit awkward. But now he could see what she grew up with. She admittedly never bought much, but it was a place to stay out of trouble mostly.
She led him to a small little cramped store on the bottom floor of the mall. It had a strange, partially neon, partially panted sign with a strange made up word on it. She brought him inside the very colorful, and slightly musty store. There were racks and racks of odd looking clothing, shoes and accessories. Some borderline vintage to purely vintage, like lacy shirts, fancy hats with feathers and pearls, to strange and bright objects like Rainbow arm warmers, tuxedo t shirts, and other gawdy but amusing items and jewelry.
Raquel had released his hand to explore, throwing a casual, earth toned scarf about her neck, posing a bit. "What do you think?" She asked, puckering her lips like she had scene the stick skinny models in magazines do. "Or is this more your liking?" She grabbed a neon pink feather boa, and let it flutter around her face, looking utterly silly.

Damian had never been in such an unorderly place before, but found it to be rather exciting. You couldn't see everything that they had at a glance as you passed by, so you just had to take your chance and walk in.
He picked up a pair of glittery glasses without lenses, and placed them on her face. "There, now you look lovely. The sparkles accent the feathers, you know."
Regardless of how gay he sounded, Damian had to look for other extravagant things to place on her. It was like a game of dress-up, only he was doing the dressing.

Raquel let him adorn her with various tacky items as she laughed and helped, ending up looking like a confused drunk chick on new years eve.
"...You're turn..." She smiled wickedly, finding a very old school top hat, a tall one at that, and plopping it on top of his head. Though it looked as if it belonged there too much. So she went off and began finding various things that obviously did not belong, from a flowered lei, to Bunny ears which she found a way to fit around the top hat, Dark thick nerd classes with lenses that were made to make the eyes look huge without hurting the wearers eyes. She added more and more until they looked equally ridiculous. "Well aren't we a sight!" She smiled, pulling him to stand right next to her in a mirror.

Damian put his finger upon the bridge of the glasses and pushed them upwards, making a sniffling noise.
"Yes, well, I look like a rather dashing rocket scientist bunny while you... look like... New Year's exploded."
All she needed was a party popper and she would be set, though that holiday was ages away.

Raquel laughed a little more before pulling im into a tight hug. She sighed, still looking at themselves in the mirror which was slightly curved, making them look a bit goofier. "I just want to remember us as we are right now..." She cooed, closing her eyes. "At ease and ridiculously happy...and rather stylishly dressed." She added with a smirk up to him.
The store clerk and one or two other customers smiled at the cute couple.
"I love you Damian..." A dreamy tone she had, yes, but she ignored their surroundings as she leaned up and kissed him so lovingly.

"I love you, strange flamingo lady." As she kissed him, he tickled her neck with the boa she'd found. But, he knew people would become annoyed with their dress up game. Most store owners would be.
"Now we have to undress each other," he said with an evil little grin. "Is there anything you'd like?"

Raquel smacked him for being so cheeky, but she couldn't hide the playful, almost willing smile that perked up. "Well..." She stripped off all her pinkness and was left with the simple brown scarf around her neck. "This is kinda lovely...looks kinda cute with this outfit..." She posed a bit more, tying it in various ways. "But we can't leave without getting you something love..." She added as she helped him remove the various costumes. She went sifting through a pile of various Men's accessories, finally pulling out a casual, straw woven fedora, with a dark blueish band. She plopped it onto his head before cocking her own in thought. "What do you think?" She asked, tapping her chin as she tried to formulate her own opinion. "It's very boho..." She winked after a moment.

'Boho' sounded either cool or sketchy, and he wasn't sure which. Either way, Damian tightened his hair in the back and got a good look at himself. He'd never been one for hats, but a Fedora... it looked rather stylish, in an odd way.
"I do like it," he said, taking it off with flair and giving it a spin between his fingers. "Then we'll take these? We can always come back for more after we've had a spin around the rest of the shops."

Raquel nodded and smiled, taking the hat from his head and the scarf from around her neck, bringing them to the cashier who rung them up accordingly. It wasn't bad. The two items together only totaled about 25 credits, which to Raquel was splurging a bit.

As they walked out of the store, Damian placed his arm around her waist and waved the bag around on his wrist.
"Twenty five credits? You're about the cheapest date I've ever had."
One date he'd had cost him about 1.5 thousand credits. He cringed every time he thought of that.
