"Where do you want to go first?" Asked Alex, as they started to walk off together. They were holding hands, while walking down the long street. Alex was allowing Avril to take the lead. He was just happy to be spending time with her, and he was happy to see that she was expressing her feelings more publically.

"Let's head over to that store, I saw a couple of dresses that caught my eye." Avril said, as she lead Alex over to the store. Her emotions were running wild, she was on cloud nine. She took a big step, making a public move like this.

"I hope they have a custom tailor shop, our silhouettes are slightly different from the average dragonian. But they do look lovely." Alex said, as he saw a couple of dresses in the window as they walked up to the store.

Before they walked into the story, Avril pulled Alex close to her and kissed him slowly on the lips. She was caught up the moment. "Thank you for coming with me, I know looking at dresses is probably not your idea of fun. But it means a lot to me." Avril said, as she walked into the store with Alex.

"Not a problem, happy to spend time with you." Alex said, as he felt a little out of his element. Getting a dress with a woman he just started to have romantic interest with. They walked into the store, and Alex felt really lost. He looked over to Avril and could tell that she was having the time of her life.

Avril loved the vibrant colors from the dresses. She grabbed one, and pulled it up close to her. Avril's eyes glistened with excitement. "What do you think?" Avril asked, waiting to see what Alex thought of the dress.

"It's looks good. You should try it on." Alex said. Looking around for a changing room. He wondered if they had a changing room. Most cultures do.

A steward approached them, and told them were they changing room was located.

"Do you want to get a drink, after we are done with this shop?" Avril asked, making sure to speak loud enough for Alex to hear her, as she started to change her clothing attire.

"I would love that." Alex said, wondering where they would go? It really did not matter to him. As long as they got to go together.

Avril came back out, the dress was a little big, so she put it on, over her uniform. "What do you think?" She asked, with a cheesy grin on her face.

"A little big, we can have tailored to fit you properly." Alex started to say, as a dragonian woman walked over to Avril and started to adjust the dress and made a few markings on the dress.

The dragonian woman asked Avril to take off the dress, and left for a couple of minutes. Avril looked to Alex. "I guess we wait for a couple of minutes." Alex said, as he went on to say. "I heard that Dragonian Ale is very potent, hopefully they have something sweeter, or non alcoholic. Still a little early to drink." He said, hoping Avril agreed.

"Dragonian ale is very strong, had a bottle with Xalanth and T'para, I ended up passed out on their sofa, and woke up to Travla, braiding my hair." Said Avril with a grin on face.

"I have not meet the Commander's kids, how are they?" Alex asked, feeling a little envious that Avril knew the first officer's kids.

"Little angels, both of them. A little shy, but angels non the less." Avril responded, as she noticed the Dragonian lady returning. The lady handed her the dress, and Avril tried to settle the bill, but it appeared that the bill was already taken care of, by Xalanth's father. The scene starts to fade.
