"Because... Well... I just can't,"

"....Try."

(I have no idea why Joi is encouraging her, but he is. :P)

(lol. Wants what's best for her? Hopes she was bluffing? :P)

"Why?"

(I'm not sure. Maybe the first, but honestly, he treats her so well he should be the best for her.)

"Because you like him." He smiled.

"I... well... Forget it," she muttered. "It's no biggie,"

"Say it." Joi grabbed her wrist and held her there gently.

"Say what?"

"Whatever you were going to say."

"Fine. I'm nervous, okay?"

Joi smiled. "Just talk to him."

"How? I don't know him. It's not like talking to you,"

"....." He sighed. "Ask him about the homework."

Aila frowned.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes."

"Very sure?"

"Go talk to him!"

(Gotta go.)

(Bye)

"Okay! Bossyboots..."

Joi smiled lightly.

(Hmm...we need more drama...any ideas?)

(She could lose her bottle? They could argue? You could bring in the school bully, maybe?)

"I'll do it later,"

(Bottle? Hmm..bully is fine, but I'm not good at playing them. ^^")

Joi sighed.

(Alternatively, creepy teacher? Or add a bit of mystery? Maybe loop Joi into something?)

"What?"

"It's fine..."

(Hmm...well, some obscure club forcing him to try their dress comes to mind. XP)

(XD Could be fun.)

"What's that look for?" she asked, an eyebrow raised.

"It's fine..." He repeated. "Joi?"

"A-ah?"

"The drama club said they had something they wanted from you. Could you go see them later?"

"Dear oh dear," Aila smiled. "Trouble ahead."

Joi blinked.

Later...

Joi had gone ahead of Aila into the club room.

(Sudden skip. :P)

(OK. Think I've just had an idea, too. :))

Aila was on the internet, chatting.

Joi followed them behind a screen.

"Now wear this."

"W-what?! N-No way..."

Aila checked her emails, finding one of interest.

Party of Friday night. All welcome.

"T-that's...W-why...?"

"C'mon Joi, you're the most feminine guy we know and it fits."

"C-can't you get a normal girl to wear it then?"

"We need to time how quickly you can change and a girl can't change in front of us."

"B-but...."
