Characters: Winry, Naoto, Rikku, anyone else?
Content: Winry and Naoto go to find clothes for the Ball.
Setting: Kropmork Clothing Store
Time: Day before the Ball?
Warnings: None for now.
The Ball was fast approaching, but fortunately Winry had found a solution for the dress problem she, and several other members seemed to be having. Her original idea of asking Rikku for loans from the Winding Way had fallen through, but she had told her of a good shop not too far from the dock. It was probably a good thing. After her talk with the Elrics she'd rather stay away for a little while, let them take in everything and come to understand that her decision to remain on the 4423 was final.
However badly it had ended, she was glad that the truth was out there. It took a huge weight off her shoulders and despite the anxious air which had seemed to settle over all of Kropmork, Winry actually seemed a little more upbeat than usual. Perhaps it was a selfish thing that her concern for the Elrics outweighted the upcoming peace conference but it was the honest truth and she wasn't about to let guilt ruin her happiness. They were as prepared as they would ever be for it, so the best thing to do was just keep on their toes.
Winry closed her room gently behind her and made her way to the deck where she had agreed to meet Naoto so they could do their shopping. She had invited Rikku last minute too, since the girl had been kind enough to direct her to a good place, and would be able to help her do something about her hair.
