A day at the Crocus fair (open social)

It has been a very long time since Aayla had been able to get away from Sabertooth. It seemed all she did lately was train, learn and go out on missions. She was so determined to get stronger and so determined to keep her weaknesses hidden, that she very rarely spent any time to herself. Well, today was going to be different.

She had seen a flyer up in the guild hall that welcomed everybody to Crocus' annual flower festival and fair. The flyer boasted hundreds of different flowers, exciting games and even roller coasters. There would be all kind of food and exciting things to see!

She had never been to a fair before... in fact she had never even heard of a fair and so at first came out of pure curiosity. However, now that she stood in the crowd that buzzed about the designated fair grounds, she found herself gasping at the scenery in awe.

There were rides taller than the tallest buildings in crocus, a giant wheel that one could sit in and spin slowly. The wheel had so many different colored seats in them, and so many lights flashing that for a moment Aayla had to look away. She looked around her, taking in the stand after stand of markets. There were grilled fish sales, candy sales and toy sales, there were fishing games and shooting games and tests of strength. It seemed there was something here for absolutely every type of person that you could think of!

As Aayla slowly made her way through the streets of the fair, she wasn't paying a single attention to where she was going, and ended up walking straight into an older boy who dropped his ce cream into the girls beautiful blue hair. Aayla squeaked as she jumped back and quickly bowed her head in apology, letting the ice cream slip down onto her shirt and onto her shoes. Her face went bright red as she apologized to the boy who began apologizing right back. He was quick to try and get the ice cream off of her, even guiding her to a boutique where he helped her pick out some new clothes to replace her stained ones. They were even nice enough to let her wash her hair in the back sink.

When she came out of the changing rooms, all cleaned up and in new clothes, Aayla found herself wearing a dark purple short skirt with knee high white stockings. Her shirt was now a cute white blouse with a purple tie. Speaking of ties, Aayla now had her hair tied back into a twisted bun in an effort to hide any evidence of what had happened.

"I'm so sorry again... thank you for taking care of me..."

Manayus chuckled as he brought the young girl into the boutique, helping her pick out an outfit that would make the young girl look absolutely adorable here at the fair. He felt absolutely terrible that he had bumped into her and ruined her clothes, and so he had to make it up to her.

As the girl changed, he refused to let her pay for the change in clothing, and so went to the cashier and gave her the money in advance, so that the girl didn't have time to argue with him. Whenever she came out though, his face turned into a beaming smile as he went over to her and couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"You look absolutely adorable! So cute! I can't beleive how well this suits you!"
He exclaimed in excitement, finally pulling away from the young girl and reaching up to her hair, fixing it for her by dropping her beautiful long bangs down to the side of her face.

"Stop apologizing little blue. It was my fault for bumping into you. Now, are you here with anyone? We should probably find your friends."


"U..uhm... thank you Manayus... but... I came alone... see I've never been to a fair so... I wanted to see what it was... I I didn't think it would be so... big."
She stated with a bright blush popping up onto her cheeks, even as she attempted to regain her balance from Manayus nearly smothering her with how cute she looked.

Seeing as how she had come alone, the two had decided to venture out through the fair together instead of on their own. They stopped to replace Manayus' dropped ice cream, grabbing one of the treats for herself as well before continuing on their sight seeing journey. This chocolate ice cream had been the best thing Aayla had eaten in a very long time! It was almost as good as apple pie! She savored every bit of the desert until there was absolutely nothing left in her hands for her to eat. She couldn't help the pout that crossed her lips when it was done.
