Once Upon an Alien

Twenty Five- Shopping

The next day, Xen and I were awakened by a loud banging on the door, which was clearly being created by two sets of hands. 

Xen grumbled as he walked to the door in his joggers looking sexy as hell even though he just woke up. 

He pulled the door open and an overly excited Zeek and Axa stood with toothy smiles.

"Brother! Why are you not ready?!" Axa yelled. Xen raised an eyebrow and Axa's eyes grew big. 

"Oh. Oh.... OH!" she yelled again. "You were busy last night!" 

Xen's careless look never faltered. 

"Ew! Xenophon you nasty lit-" Zeek squealed but was shut down by the door being closed in his face. I couldn't help but giggle. 

Xen walked over to me pressing his lips to mine softly and standing next to the bed. 

"I suppose that's our wake up call," he said sounding annoyed. 

"Don't be like that, they're excited. I am too. Come on, let's get ready," 

After Xenophon dragged his feet and groaned a lot, we finally finished getting ready and made our way to the giant stone landing pad we landed on before. 

Axa and Zeek are excitedly talking and Zor looked awfully bored. Honestly I was a bit shocked to see that Zor was coming with us, as this didn't seem like something he'd normally be into.  

We reach the others and I am immediately pulled into a hug from Axa. I smile and return her hug. She lets me go and approaching footsteps make our heads turn. Zandos and Adina walk up to us and stand with serious looks on their faces.

"You must keep her safe, don't make any comments about her being human and you probably shouldn't address her by her human name if possible," Adina starts. She takes a few steps before standing in front of me. 

"I need you to close your eyes. This may burn slightly," she says. I do as she instructed and a burning comes to my eyes making them water instantly. A moment later the burning stops and I open my eyes. 

I look up at Xen and he smiles. "Purple suits you," he says smiling, flashing a hint of red in his eyes. I tilt my head before looking back to Adina. 

"I have made your eyes purple. This should last about twelve hours. If you like the color, I can make it last forever. This way nobody will know you're not Dyspherian," she says with a smile. 

"Thank you so much, Adina," I say as I hug her. She hugs me back and whispers in my ear. 

"You take care of Xenophon and we will always take care of you," she says before kissing my cheek. 

I turn to Xenophon who was now in his dragon form along with the others. He looked magnificent in the sunlight, his scales almost seemed to shine in it. He lowered his head, allowing me to kiss him on the snout. 

He gently grabbed me with two hands before nodding his large dragon head to the others. In a gust of wind, we all take flight. 

"Hello love, how are you feeling?"

A confused look passes my face and I look at Xen. I know he spoke, but it almost sounded like it was in my head. 

"I'm fine, how are you?" I say looking up at him. 

"I'm good. Excited to see you in a sexy dress for the ball," 

Okay now I know it was in my head. His lips didn't even move! 

"How are you talking to me like that?!" 

"It is our connection. I knew it was growing stronger, I just decided to test if we could mind link," 

"Well it worked, can I do it to you too?" 

"You should be able to," 

"Can you hear me?"  I think hard. 

"Yes baby I can hear you,"

"This is so cool! Why didn't you teach me earlier?!" 

We continue mind linking throughout the ride. It isn't an excessively long one, only about twenty minutes before we land on stone paths. Ahead of us is many side stores and little shops like a quaint town.

Everyone swiftly shifts back to their normal bodies, slipping clothes on as fast as possible. 

I'm wearing the same outfit Xen gave me last night, which I must admit I loved. I loved how comfortable it was and the best part was it smelled like him, deep woodsy with a hint of citrus. 

We gather around to make a quick plan and head off to a shop.

The first store we enter is full of dresses. Axa is quick to take my hand and drag me away to help me search for a dress, which I must say was a hard task. Most of the dresses were shaped to fit the straight figures of Dyspherian women, which was the opposite of me. 

Axa found a dress quickly. She found a long flowing strapless blue dress with a  beautiful silver detailing. 

It took a while but I finally found a dress which suited my body well. 

It was a long silver gown with black and silver beaded spaghetti straps and a slit up the right leg that stopped about mid thigh. It was a bit flowing at the bottom with a small train at the back. It fitted my upper curves beautifully and didn't accentuate any of the bad ones. 

It was absolutely stunning if I do say so myself. I felt like a super model to be honest.

When I walked out of the fitting room with it on, all eyes were on me. Axa clapped her hands and squealed along with Zeek. Zor's eyes were wide and he simply nodded with a kind smile. 

But Xen. Xen's reaction was the best. 

His eyes instantly turned to a bright glowing red, his mouth almost hitting the floor. He rushed up to me, placing his hands on my visible curves. 

"You're absolutely stunning, my love," he said in a breathless voice. I couldn't help but smile at his comment. He was in shock to say the least. I couldn't blame him, he had never seen a curvy woman, let alone HIS woman in a tight fitting dress. 

As I looked around while wearing the dress, eyes were definitely on me, and for some reason I got the feeling it wasn't always in a good way. I had a hunch people were suspicious of my body shape because all the women of Dyspheria were very straight bodied as Xen had told me. 

After we finished at the dress store, we continued shopping around. I gathered plenty of every day clothes from shorts to shirts to pants to hoodies. 

I shopped around in an intimates store for some panties and bras with Axa, which was a bit overwhelming. She insisted I get at least three matching sets and I was able to talk her into letting me get some casual undergarments as well. 

Finally, after getting everything and anything we needed, we traveled back to their home by wing of course. As soon as I got home, I crashed instantly. Who knew shopping with a bunch of alien dragons would be so exhausting?
