Alice smiled and peeked out from the back room. "I'm in here, Zack," she called, going back to washing the latest shipment of clothing and fabric. She finished the piece of fabric she was working on and hung it up on the clothes line, humming to herself as she wiped her hands off on her pinafore.

She made her way to the front of the store, smiling at Zack. "You definitely look.. different. How are you enjoying being a woman?" she asked as she beckoned him to follow her to the back room.

Zack grinned when Alice approached, giving a slight nod and making to follow after her without hesitation. “It’s still taking some getting used to,” she admitted, tugging lightly upon the edge of her dress to straighten it out, as though to prove her point. “But, I have to say-it’s really not all that bad. Something different, you know? It’s a shame more people aren’t having fun with it!”

"I think a lot of people can't get over the surprise of it. You seem to be one of the more.. adaptable people here," Alice said with a laugh as she went to the fireplace and worked on a loose brick.

"Now, I have to trust you that you won't tell anyone what I'm going to show you," she smiled as she finally got the brick loose, revealing a secret compartment where she kept the gemstones that she had gotten from Lightning, along with some spare money. She picked out 3 of the smallest gems and handed them to Zack. "Those are for the items for the beauty contest," she chuckled. "I'm sure Namine will be able to help you pick out some things that will be of good use."

After a moment's thought, she grabbed one of the largest gems and handed it to him. "And that's for the baby. You need a proper bassinet, baby clothes, decorations for the baby's room, and all that. This should cover it, and then some."

Zack had to laugh at that, because Alice was completely right. There was, all in all, very little that Zack couldn’t easily adapt to, and that had always been the case. “Maybe they’ll start to get used to it after a couple of days,” she responded, something between hopeful for that and amused at the idea that they would be stuck in the wrong genders for an extended period of time.

“I promise with all of my heart,” was what Zack said next, giving a sort of brief salute before she looked to see just what Alice was doing. And that was-oh, they were really sparkly, weren’t they? Her eyes widened a bit, semi-distracted, and she took the offered ones, examining them.

And she might have started to say something about how sparkly they were, but Alice’s next movements-and words-caught her rather off guard and instead she was just sort of staring at the other. “… are you serious?”
