"But of course," the shopkeeper declared, and clapped his hands together. "It's such a wonderful fabric, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is, but...." "Don't you want to wear this?"
"Of course, it is very nice of you. This is a nice outfit...."<> "Why don't ya put it on already," Ranma sighed.
"Sure, Master."
As he watched her head into the changing booth and slide the curtain closed behind her, Benoit tapped a finger to his lips. "Such a sweet little girl. She's already listening to you."
"I'm just glad that she does. I've got enough headaches with all the junk that they heap on me," the pigtailed boy muttered, folding his hands behind his back.
"Your father again?"
"He's always a hassle, but I've gotta wonder about one thing."
"Only one?" Benoit asked. "What's that?"
"I thought that you said that she'd look good in a skirt."
"Ab-so-lutely. But there is one problem." The older man pressed his finger to his cheek. "It might be a problem if others saw her like that."
Confusion stopped Ranma's thoughts for a while, but as he began to think about how her long and shapely legs would be displayed a deep and embarrasing blush stole across his cheeks.
"Exactly."
Before the martial artist could answer, the curtain pulled back again, and they got to see the outfit in action.
Not that Melfina was looking to show off at all. Rather, she was standing still, seeming to have no real plan as to where she would go.

She didn't suffer for a lack of a skirt though, as the thin pants clung to the soft curves of her legs in ways that were perhaps more interesting than seeing them straight on would be. With the low heels that she had on, she had a fairly classy and stylish look going.
As Ranma kept on staring, Benoit grinned broadly. "Marvelous. Simply Marv-eh-lous!"
"You really think so?" Melfina whispered, blushing lightly before to turn a worried gaze on her Owner. "Master? Is something wrong?"
"Huh? What? Uh... Nah. There's nothin' wrong. Heck, ya look really, right," Ranma mumbled, a flush across his own face as he scratched his nose, looking away a bit.
"I'm so glad."
"Good to know."
"What do we do next?"
"Huh? 'Next'?"
"I thought that you'd want to go somewhere," she admitted.
"You are her master, dear one," Benoit reminded the teenaged boy.
Snorting slightly, Ranma heaved a large breath before looking towards the other two. "Yeah, I know. Well, I was thinking that we'd go and go:
