Alec thought about that, feeling his father had given him an idea, but he couldn't remember what it was. "I'm sure we'll figure it out! And I think G for golf, mini or otherwise." He slid out of the van and offered her his hand. Xander glanced toward Alec and Claire. "At least two of us...

"So we can mark off B and N, and now D," he said, keeping his voice lowered for privacy. He rubbed his thumb along her knuckles very lightly, his heart fluttering. "Do you have a choice for our next letter?' Xander hadn't noticed quite yet, focused on the traffic ahead, but when he did, he...

Alec giggled softly. "That's true! We skipped C and went to D. Daring dresses for dancing. Although I'm not sure what our last date's letter was." He reached over and tentatively took her hand, smiling at her. "I'm just glad to be doing it with you."

"Agreed," Alec said. He knew of a couple of potential places, but, like Claire had said, they mostly did things like quinceañeras or weddings, and the other one was definitely way out of Sloan's price range. It was attached to one of Dark's favorite stores, and while they did excellent work...

"I refuse to apologize," Xander said blithely. "Come on, then, troops. Time to head out to the next stop." Alec busily hung up the dresses on the designated hanger for refused clothes. "I think we have time for a small stop before lunch. What's your next choice, Sloan?"

"Well, it does look good," Xander said, politely keeping his eyes on her face. He wasn't too distressed about everything on display, and Sloan was his friend and strictly off-limits, but he wasn't going to be looking at things no matter what. "Probably will break a few codes, though. "Did you...

Alec looked at Sloan. He turned bright red and clapped his hands over his eyes with a little squeak. Xander looked her up and down and raised his brows. "I think that thing actually covers less than your leotards." The fabric - what there was of it - was not pasted to the body like a leotard...

Claire breaking broke Alec, and he cackled in delight. He laughed so hard he couldn't even speak. "Oh, come on! Did you even look at the other one? And you could always try this one. I think you'll be a real hit. No one will be able to take their eyes off of you." He thrust one hand...

"Always do," he said cheerfully. "Totally worth it, though, to see a Queen Bee Mad Hatter."

"Oh," Alec said in a strangled tone, his mouth twitching as he looked Sloan up and down. "Oh my. I." He turned away and coughed. He sneaked a glance at Claire, and seeing her nearly made him lose it. Xander grinned unrepentantly and twirled the matching top hat between his hands before...

"I think it's called a dress. They might both be dresses, I don't know. Are they both dresses if one's in two pieces?" Xander wondered. "Why? What did you give her? What did he give you?" Alec demanded.

"I am so glad you ask," Xander said with a smirk. "I have three. Here's your first two. This is two pieces. No, don't look at them, just try them on. Yellow one first. It's a one-shoulder number." He handed over a black shirt, a black skirt overlaid with a mesh of purple to blue flowers...

"You look awesome. You also look mildly concerned about your life choices and what time period your time travel crew dropped you off in," Xander said flatly. "But... it fits you so nicely... and pretty beads..." Alec said weakly.

Xander grumbled and went in to change back into his regular pants. He came out at the same time as Sloan and raised his brows at her. "That's a pretty slinky dress." Alec managed a nervous smile. "A slinky dress with elements of a 1920's flapper dress?"

"And dresses don't have pockets at all? That's just lame," Xander said, prying his items out of the pockets. "Why is it there's like nothing in between 'I wanna show off how hot I am,' and 'Frumpy comfortable?' Can't you look at least fine and be comfortable at the same time?" "Nope. It is...
