Welcome to Gaia! ::

The girls eyes lit up. They had never worn anything different...

Eve wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled, "Yay! We get to go out?"

Ivy looked from Eve to Salazar, then raised one finger to her mouth. Where do you even get clothes?

As they were all walking, Ivy and Eve looked in through the windows into the shops. Nothing really stood out to them... After about two hours of walking around in the shopping district, looking at clothes, they found it.

Eve whispered past Mr.Neri to Ivy, "My feet hurt!"

Ivy looked back to Eve and whispered a little sternly, "Don't worry." Then, Ivy's eyes grew wide and she stopped dead, letting go of Mr.Neri's hand. Her little mouth opened and she pointed across the street.

Eve looked and gasped, then grabbed her stunned sister by the hand and ran across the street, excitedly calling out, "In here in here!"

The store was called Baby the Stars Shine Bright.

(( Store ))

Eve and Ivy both looked up at Salazar, smiling so large and so happy, it was as though nothing else in the world could have filled them with more joy.

Eve ran off, looking through all the pretty dresses, going "ooo" and "aaaa" at everything! She had never seen clothing like this, or anything like this! It was so pretty! And so light! The fabric was soft too! And detailed! And pretty!

Ivy stood still as her sister ran off. After a second, she ran and hugged Mr.Neri, burying her face into his shirt. A few moments later, she looked up at him. For the first time, she gave him a full smile. For the first time, she actually looked like she was happy. "Thank you, Mr.Neri!" With that, she ran off to join her sister.

The two little girls must have tried on every dress, every blouse, every skirt, every petticoat, every headdress, and every pair of shoes in the store. At the end, they both placed their piles (which were larger than the girls themselves were) onto the counter.

Ivy picked out three dresses. Her favorite color scheme was white, light pink, and light brown. She picked out three pairs of knee-height socks with lace trimming in white and black.

((Dress #1 , Dress #2 , Dress #3 ))

Eve also picked out three dresses. The last one she chose, one in all black, looked almost exactly like a dress Kirai owned. She picked out three pairs of knee-height socks with lace trimming in white and black.

((Dress #1 , Dress #2 , Dress #3 ))



They both also got three pairs of knee-height socks with lace trimming that were in black and white, three pairs of bloomers in white (although Eve got one all black), two petticoats so their skirts fit right, one matching very fancy hair bow, one matching mini top hat, and one lacey headdress adonred with ribbons which went across the top of their head and tied under the chin ((see style here )), and three pairs of dolly-like shoes: 1 pair of fairly plain black mary janes, 1 pink/white mary janes with a slight heel and a large bow near where the toe was, and another fancier pair of mary janes to their liking.

At the end of the hours they spent inside the store, they were both at the front desk with Mr.Neri, each one hugging him and saying 'thank you' enthusiastically!

The girl's cheered and skipped together a bit ahead, hand in hand. Ivy then suddenly stopped, nearly causing her sister to fall.

Letting go of Eve's hand, Ivy ran back to Mr.Neri wand walked along side him. "Book...store?" Ivy questioned, her eyes wide and excitedly looking up at Salazar. She raised her little hand to her mouth, trying to hold back a smile. "What kind of books are at a 'book store'?"

Eve waited till they caught up and grabbed onto Ivy's hand again, still smiling and in a perfect mood!

A young lady with electric blue hair, eyes, nails and lips the matching shade, carrying a stack of fairy tales "Ladies, would you like to browse these perhaps? " she asked in a sweet mothering tone. it was as if she'd read Salazaar's mind, freeing him from the need to look after them as he sought his new books. He'd never seen her before. Was she an employee?

Blithe smiled sweetly, put down the books on the front desk, and took them both by the hand gently "alright ladies, let's see what we've got here shall we? what do you like to read little ones?

Ivy smiled. "Anything."

Eve thought about it, looking up and raising her small hand to her mouth. "Hmmm... anything!" She said happily, lowering her hand and smiling up at the nice lady.

"Prin-...cess...?" Eve asked innocently, tilting her head.

Ivy didn't know what that was either, but she had realized now... there were a lot of things that they didn't know about. So she smiled and said sweetly nodding her head, "Yes please!"
