Kira followed Ashton in, looking around. "So, you make the clothes the models wear?"

"Alot of 'em Aye, Ah also alter 'em for models and design specific ones..." Ashton looked at her as if sizing her up, then looked into her eyes. "You 'ave beau'iful eyes."

Kira blushed. "Not really, they're just a normal color..."

"Tha' does not mean they're no' beau'iful..." Ashton smiles softly

"Now yours are way better." Kira chuckled. "They're brighter than mine... at times I think i'm dead my eyes can be so dull."

"Ye shoul' see when Ah shut down..." Ashton chuckled softly

kira smiled slightly. "That wouldn't be good...."

"Aye, bu' it happens from time ta time when Ah o'er work meh self..." Ashton reached out and caressed her chin looking into her eyes again.

Kira blushed. "Then you shouldn't over work yourself."

"Ah know, Saki says the same thin' bu' he's been so good ta meh Ah want ta work extra hard for 'im..." Ashton continues to look into her eyes. "Ah thi'k Ah have a dress tha' will match these beau'iful eyes..."

Kira blinked. "Really?"


"Aye, come." Ashton took her hand and lead her through the room to a rack, he thumbed through it and pulled out a pink and brown Kimono. "An' if ye dun like it, jus' say so, I wont be offended." He smiled softly

Kira blinked. "Its beautiful..." she toucheed the fabric softly.

Ashton smiled. "It should fit ye, bu' if ye like ah can measure it so it does."

Kira smiled. "I'll try it on, and f I can't fit into it, I'll let you know."

Ashton smiled. "This way then..." He held out a hand for her to take her to the dressing room

Kira took his hand and smiled lightly.

Ashton's soft, warm fingers wrapped around her hand gently, leading her to a dressing room to change in. "'Ere ye go..."

Kira smiled and walked in, closing the door and getting changed. The kimono fit perfectly. She walked out a minute later, smiling. "It fits perfect, and your right, it does match." she chuckled.

"It's yer's then..." Ashton smiled, he frowned slightly. "It's missin' somethi'..." He walks to the jewelry area and bends over a desk pulling out a box from under it, he pulled a box cutter out of his pocket and opened it pulling something from the box. He walked back to her and slipped something around her neck, a pink and brown lace choker with a pink tear drop shaped jewel hanging from it. "There."

Kira blushed. "You don't have to give it to me..."

"It suits you." Ashton lifted her face by her chin gently looking into her velvety brown eyes and smiling softly

Kira blushed brightly.

"As does yer blushin'..." Ashton smiles

Kira blinked. "I'm blushing?" she asked, not even realising that she was. She never blushed.

"Aye, Ye are." Ashton smiled. "An' it's cute."

Kira laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head. "Shows how much I notice things."

Ashton chuckles softly and strokes her cheek

Kira looked up at him, still blushing. She was trying to stop blushing, but it wasn't working very well.

Ashton wanted so much to kiss the girl before him, but simply pulled back his hand smiling softly

Kira smiled slightly. She never felt the way she was feeling around this guy. She had been around plenty of other guys, but none made her feel so light headed.

"Are ye ok?" Ashton places his hand on her forehead

Kira nodded. "Y-yeah, I'm fine."

Ashton smiles at her. "Ye're so pretty."

Kira smiled softly. "Yeah? And your really handsome."

"Ah was built ta be..." Ashton smiled softly

"And whoever built you did a very good job." Kira grinned.

Ashton smiled softly. "Aye, ah think so too..."

Kira laughed lightly. "Y'know, when I first saw you, I didn't even think of you as a persacom, and I still don't."

Ashton smiled wider than he ever had. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, its the truth." Kira smiled softly, moving a piece of his hair out of his face.

Ashton took her hand and kissed it

Kira blushed a dark red.

"Ye shoul' let meh do yer hair." Ashton smiled

Kira smiled. "You can if you want. I don't mind."

ashton picked her up carrying her with ease to where his did hair and make up

Kira yelped and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Ah'm sorreh, did Ah scare ye?"

"Just a little... I'm not used to being picked up.." she chuckled slightly.

"Ah'm Sorreh." Ashton sat her in the styling chair

Kira smiled. "Its okay."

Ashton began to gently brush her hair

Kira looked at him through the mirror, smiling softly.

Ashton smiled and hummed as he brushed her hair

Kira closed her eyes and listened to him as he hummed.

He began to style her hair, still humming

Kira smiled. "You have a beautiful voice."

"Ah've no' sung yet..." Ashton chuckled

"But still, your humming is calming." Kira chuckled softly.

Ashton put her hair up in a japanese style. "There."

Kira grinned. "Wow, it looks awesome!"

Ashton smiles. "Thank ye."

Kira chuckled. "The best I can manage is what you saw before." she grinned. "I usually do my own make up and hair to match the outfit."

Ashton strokes her cheek. "Ye mus' 'ave men flockin' ta get yer number."

Kira shook her head. "Yeah, but I always turn them down... I don't know, they just don't seem real enough to me..."

"Then Ah suppose Ah've no' a chance etiher..." Ashton smiled softly, turing his back to clean up his mess, frowning softly

Kira blushed and looked away. "I wouldn't say that... you seem more real than all those guys combined..."

"Bu' sadly Ah'm not." Ashton said cleaning out his brush

Kira blinked, then realised what he was saying. She walked over to him and gently put a hand on his arm. "I didn't mean it like your body is real. I meant that you aren't pretending to be someone your not."

"Bu' ah am, Ah'm a computer tryin' ta act like a human..." Ashton looked at her

"But your not trying to use me. Your not trying to get me to do anything I don't want to." Kira gently stroked his cheek with her knuckles.

Ashton smiled and nuzzled her hand

Kira hugged him. "I'm sorry if I offended you in any way..."

"No, No' at all." Ashton said in a suprised way.

Kira let him go and looked up at him, smiling softly.

"Ah'm sorreh, Ah've never been hugged before..." Ashton blushed softly

Kira chuckled softly. "Its okay."

Ashton smiled at her.

Kira gave him a big smile back. She felt very calm with him. Usually she'd be very quiet and a little angry around guys she just met.

Ashton stroked her cheek gently. "Yer vereh beau'ful...if Ah didn't know any betteh Ah's think yer a persacom yerself..." He looped his gentle fingers around her ears. "Nay, yer human..." He rubbed his thumb over her ear lobe and smiled softly.

Kira smiled slightly. "Yeah, a lot of my father's students said that too, so thats why I came here." I'm glad I did... she thought to herself.

"Ah look forward ta workin' with ye...Ah've so many ideas alreadah..." Ashton picked up a sketch book and a pencil. "would ye mind if I sketched ye? No' Nude or anehthin'" He reassured her.

Kira chuckled. "Sure, if you want."

"Thank Ye. Pose aneh way ye like...Jus' tell meh when yer readeh..." Ashton leaned back against the counter looking at his paper, labeling the date in his neat handwriting and writing her name on it.

Kira thought a bit and sat in a chair, crossing her legs elegantly and resting her chin on her hand, smiling at Ashton. "Ready when you are." she chuckled.

Ashton smiled up at her moving his hair from his face, he looked down at the paper again begining to scratch away at the paper with his pencil glancing at her every few seconds, some times erasing and redrawing. After about ten minutes he handed her the beautiful pencil sketch of her.

Kira gasped. "Wow! Thats awesome!!"

"Thank Ye, bu' ye know, Ah can ne'er recreate yer beau'y on paper..." Ashton looks at her

Kira blushed, not knowing what to say to that.

Ashton tore the picture from the sketch book carefully and handed to her. "Keep it. It's meh gift ta ye..." Ashton kissed her cheek gently.

"T-thanks." Kira took the picture and smiled up at him.

Ashton smiled at her and moved to kiss her lips, like he had been wanting to, something about her made him feel real, like he wasn't just some computer....like he was human. He stopped and sighed softly pulling back, not kissing her, he wasn't human, and he wasn't fooling anyone. He stood up straight and smiled at her.

Kira was blushing brightly. "Are you alright?" Why didn't he kiss me...? He was about to... and I wanna kiss him back... Kira thought to herself.

"Aye, Ah'm fine..." Ashton lied with a soft smile to hide his hatred of his own inhumanity.

Kira gently put her hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes. "Your lying."

Ashton closed his eyes. "Yer righ'...." He admitted softly

"Whats wrong?" Kira asked softly.

"Ah dun want ta get involved only ta have ye remeber Ah'm only a computer..." Ashton said softly

"I don't care if your a computer." Kira smiled. "Even persacoms need someone to love them. At least thats what I believe."

"Are ye sure it doesn't bother ye that Ah'm jus' a computer?" Ashton looked at her

Kira nodded. "I'm sure."

Ashton stroked her cheek and smiled. "Thank ye."

Kira nuzzled his hand gently, smiling.

Slowly Ashton leaned in, closing his eyes and kissing her lips softly, barely touching his to hers.

Kira blushed and closed her eyes, kissing him back, just as softly.

He pulled his lips back and rested his forehead to hers looking as though he had a headache

Kira looked up at him. "You okay?"

"Aye, Ah jus' need ta go ta meh room and plug mehself in...Ye can join meh if ye like..." Ashton smiled weakly at her

Kira smiled and nodded. "I would love to."

Ashton stood up wobbily and walked towards the elevator. "If Ah dun make it ta meh room, an' Ah shut down, dun try ta lift meh...jus' Call Lilly..." He said as the door of the elevator opened

Kira blinked. "How much do you weigh when you shut down?"

"Two hundred...." When she was in the elevator he pushed the button, the doors closed and the elevator moved up

Kira nodded. "Out of my range... I can only lift 180." she chuckled softly.

Ashton smiled as the elevator doors opened, he lead her out and to his room door. He fumbled a bit with the key then unlocked the door and lead her into Room #13

Kira followed him, keeping a close eye on him to make sure he would be okay.

Danshoku stepped into the apartment, eyeing the clothing happily. His ears perked up as he looked about it. "Now what was the man's name again... A-Ash...? Ashton! Where is he...?" He asked out loud.

Ashton sat working on something in the back of the store.

"Hello?!" Danshoku spoke up. He bounze up slightly on the conter. "Is Aston here...? I'm here to see about my gown!" A huge smile came to the rabbit's face.

"Aye, Ae'm him, yeh mus' be Danshoku..." Ashton stood up.

"You got it!" Danshoku smiled at him. His form shaking with excitment.

"Ae need yeh teh pick which dress yeh like..." Ashton showed him each dress.

Danshoku's eyes danced seeing each dress. "Such a hard choice! But I do like the first one and the last one. Which one do you think will look good on me? And give me your honest oppinion." He turns to Aston.

"Ae like them all..." Ashton chuckled softly

Danshoku sighed softly. "That doesn't help me!" He groaned heading to the very last one. "I love this one though... I can't believe that you're able to create such a thing by scratch. You must be talented."

"Aye, bu' Ae need yer measurements..."

Danshoku giggled. "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to keep you waiting all this time! Please do as you must!"

Ashton stood up and pulled the tape measure out of his pocket, starting with Danshoku's chest

Danshoku watched Aston's movements.

Ashton measured all of Danshoku's form.

Danshoku ran his fingers through his purple locks. A smile plastered on his lips.

"All done..." Ashton smiled

"Thanks for you hard work!" Danshoku jumpped up and down. I'm so excited. Oh and once again I'm sory for taking so long to get down here so you can get my measurements..."

Ashton chuckled. "It's no' a problem..."

"Still I feel bad..." Danshoku smiled, hugging the other male. "Thank you for everything... Can I ask for you help on the wedding as well...? It would be a lot of help. I think it'll be a good hand to have some help when me and Saki runs into a block..."

"Ae'm always 'ere teh 'elp..." Ashton bowed.

"Thank you! Do you need anything else before I leave...?" Danshoku asked before he went towards the door.

"No, Ae'm good." Ashton smiled

"O---Kay... I'll see you later then!" Danshoku smiled, leaving the apartment heading to the elevator, pressing the S button for Saki's room. "That's done!"
