This choice: Chie, Yukiko and Rise arrive to dress for the beauty contest. • Go Back... Naoto felt equal parts anxiety and relief as the familiar yet giant figures of Chie, Rise, and Yukiko emerged from the doorway. While she probably would have preferred Yu, she still trusted her female teammates impeccably. As soon as they were aware of her diminished stature, she would be safe.
While they were unaware, however...
"I can't believe Teddie won the cross dressing pageant!" Chie exclaimed, removing her jacket as she got ready to dress for the contest. "Who'd have thought he and Naoto were playing to win? I was just dressing Yosuke to deliberately humiliate him!"
Almost in spite of herself, Naoto smiled proudly. When the girls had split up to dress the boys for their cross dressing pageant and she had been stuck with Teddie, Naoto had employed years of experience dressing as the opposite gender to make the most convincing disguise for the excitable blonde boy possible. If she was going to be forced to participate in this farce of a cultural festival, she was going to go all out.
"Well, I was trying," Rise sighed. "But Kanji... I mean, I could only do so much with that."
"Yu-kun and I were honestly just having fun with it," Yukiko admitted.
"Why did you give him a Kendo sword?" Chie asked.
"Why WOULDN'T I give him a Kendo sword?" Yukiko countered.
"Hey, where's Naoto-kun?" Rise asked, looking around and not seeing their detective friend, though the fact that she was expecting her at normal size didn't exactly help. "Wasn't she already back here getting ready?"
"Girls, over here!" Naoto yelled as loud as she could, jumping up and down on the chair and waving her arms. "I've shrunk and I'm on the chair!"
"Could she have found a way to drop out of the contest?" Yukiko wondered. Naoto's heart sunk as she realized her enormously normal sized friends couldn't hear her.
"She better not have!" Chie said with a frown. "Not without telling us, anyway."
"Well, her clothes are still here, so that's probably not it," Rise said, approaching the chair the diminished detective was currently on. "She's probably really nervous. Considering how well she hides the fact that she's a girl at all, a beauty contest can't be anywhere near her comfort zone."
"Oh dear," Yukiko said with a frown. "We'll have to be as supportive to her as possible when she comes back."
"I NEVER LEFT!" Naoto shouted. "I'M RIGHT HERE! RISE-SAN, LOOK CLOSER AT THE CHAIR AND YOU'LL SEE ME!"
Unfortunately for Naoto, Rise wasn't looking at the chair. She was looking at her reflection in the mirror next to it.
"Hmm..." Rise mused. "I should probably touch up my make-up while I still have a chance." She moved to sit down.
"RISE!" Naoto screamed in fear, running as the massive rear end of her friend loomed over her. "NO!!!"  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
