Karyn had never thought of shopping as much fun, but she'd never gone with someone like Sarah.
Sarah kept encouraging her to try stuff on, from the more feminine to the sort of stuff she usually wore...except not quite as scuffed up as normal.
Karyn had stopped to call her mother and ask for permission to buy some new clothes. She wasn't surprised her mother was thrilled. She was always trying to get Karyn to replace some of the more worn items in her wardrobe.
Karyn's mother, Bethany, had never tried to force her daughter to act any particular way, and had been supportive of her. There had been some occasional comments on how she might want to be more aware of her appearance though.
When they were done, they had two bags of clothing...one more girly stuff that Sarah bought and the other more Karyn-like stuff that Karyn herself had bought.
They headed toward the arcade to play some games before they both headed home.
Karyn hadn't noticed, however, that Sarah had switched bags with her.
