i wanna be like other girls ( for dontlosehope )

[ Hope's Peak Academy was no ordinary high school; it did not require its students to attend classes or even to take standard term exams, but this did not deter Sonia Nevermind from having her ideal school life per her Japanese dramas. Even though it was not mandatory, it did not stop her from regularly attending classes and taking notes and especially waiting for that typical romantic encounter with her cool upperclassman where she would bump into him and fall, and they would lock eyes while he extends his hand and asks if she's okay, and--

...Well, it hadn't happened yet, but she was certain that "heart-thumping romance" would happen sooner or later, just like in her dramas.

In the meantime, she was perfectly complacent with living the normal school life - or as normal as it could be, given the school she attended. There were a lot of colorful characters in their class, but there was one person who was far more normal than the rest: Makoto Naegi. Indeed, there was nothing about him that stood out whatsoever...but that was exactly what made him stand out, in Sonia's opinion! It was also what made her decide that she would hang out with him. What better way to live a "normal" life than spending time with someone who was normal...?

That is why she asked (well, commanded is more accurate) him to meet with her after school and "hang out," and so she waits near the entrance gates of the school for him to arrive. When he finally does, however, Sonia doesn't look pleased to see him; in fact, she looks...angry, a scowl marring her features. She storms up to him, her voice scolding as she says: ]

Makoto Naegi-san, you are late for our meeting!

[ ...He's not, actually, but he didn't arrive thirteen minutes early, which means "late" in Novoselic speak. ]

Ooh, this insolence...it truly has rustled my jimmies!

[Well, that makes sense. She's a princess - royalty don't usually get to do things like this or really make friends.]

Well, I know you'll like it. There'll be a lot of stores... speaking of which, what're you looking forward to buying the most? At least, what you know would be at a mall.

[decretal]

Hmm...

[ She didn't actually put any thought into what she wanted to purchase; all she knew was that she wanted to visit the mall, but she supposes one cannot shop without an item in mind. ]

I suppose...a new dress would suffice. I have some that I carried over with me from my kingdom, but I've yet to purchase one here in Japan.

itt arc doesn't know what would be in a Japanese mall

[dontlosehope]

[Yeah, that would've been his first guess. ... Not because she was a girl! ... Well, probably because she was a girl. But there's always differences in styles between countries, and many clothes outside of Japan would not have the same styles.]

You should definitely visit the candy store, too. They've got a lot of stuff in there. Oh, and the game store. And the food court!

[ Sonia's eyes light up as Naegi elaborates; she knew there were clothing stores, but she never had any idea about the other places. ]

I see! Then, I shall heed your suggestion and visit those places as well!
