Brigitte and Hana slipped into the Hana’s pink Mini Cooper, driving off to the shopping district.  On the radio, one of D.Va’s songs happened to play. 

“That one seems to still be really popular.” Brigitte commented nicely.

Hana chuckled, “I’m still surprised that it is since the new cd just came out but then again I have a lot of fans that keep my old classics alive.”

“You’ve been in this business for four years. Do you ever really get tired of being in the spotlight?” Brigitte asked.

“At times it can get draining, even with how nice my fan community is.” Hana said, glancing over at Brigitte during the redlight. “Though I at least still have you, Lucio and dad to keep my head on my shoulders...for the most part.”   The last part got a good laugh from Hana before she drove off.

It had been a while since Brigitte saw Jack last. “How is your dad? I don't get to go to America much, plus it’s usually Rein and Ana that keep in touch more with him. ”

“Pretty good, he’s out doing his usual ‘retirement’ fishing. I’ve been trying to convince him to come over and visit more but ever since he retired, he just wants to have a quiet life back on the farm. Don’t really blame him, after all the stuff he’s been through. Then again I don’t mind going over myself.”  Hana said, turning off into one of the parking garages. “Here we are.”

After finding a good enough parking space both of them stepped out and headed for the strip of shops.

“OK, first dress because then we can get you accessories to match. I know the perfect place.” Hana wrapped her arm around Brigitte’s arm and pulled her friend gently down the cobblestone sidewalk.. 

Brigitte did feel a tad out of place walking down near all these fancy places but chuckled as she was dragged along. It didn’t take long before Hana came to a small little dress shop. Out of all the clothing stores along the strip, this one seemed the most homely. Hana opened the door and walked in, urging Brigitte to follow, which she did. Racks filled with various dresses decorated the old Victorian themed main room of the store. 

“Be there in just a moment.” Said an older female voice from the backroom. 

Hana waited near the counter and looked at Brigitte. “Go look around while we wait.”

Nodding, Brigitte walked over to one of the racks. So many of the dresses were well made and gorgeous. Then Brigitte glanced at one of the price tags and nearly choked. The cheapest she found was like five hundred euros. She had to admit that her current job did give her a fair amount of money but to spend that much on clothes blew her mind. 

“Miss Hana! It has been a while.”

“Emma! It’s good to see you again.”

Brigitte turned to see a tall, blond woman in her fifties. Hana and this Emma, kissed each other on the cheek and hugged in greeting.

“What a coincidence that you came in, I designed a little something for you.” Emma chirped excitedly.

“Any dress you make I’d try on but actually I came here to get my friend something and you are the best.” Hana said, smiling and motioning towards Brigitte. “Emma meet Brigitte, Brigitte meet Emma.”

“Hi.” Brigitte replied nervously, forgetting that she was holding a hanger for one of the dresses.

“Pleasure.” Emma went over and kissed Brigitte on the cheeks in the same manner that she had done to Hana. Then noticed the color of the dress. 

Emma quickly placed the dress back and walked around Brigitte to examine her. Making a full resolution before gently taking the younger girl’s chin to move it to study her face intensely. “Redhead, brown eyes. Tall, toned body, freckles that highlight your face wonderfully, strong features. You hold yourself well. Though dear with your skin tone and hair, I’d lean more towards burgundy or a dark green or maybe a dark blue. What is the event?”

“Shimada concert and cocktail party afterwards.” Hana commented.

“Hmm so we want something simple and elegant. I think I may know just the dress but it may need a few adjustments. Let me go get it. Miss Song, please take her to the fitting room area.” 

With that Emma left Brigitte and Hana alone. 

“Come on.” Hana grinned, dragging Brigitte through one of the doors to the back to a changing room of sorts. 

“Well that was interesting. Miss Emma is certainly intense when she was looking at me for a dress. I almost felt like prey for the hunter.”   Brigitte said.  “Is she always like this?”

Hana laughed. “She is just really passionate about her craft but believe me, it’s worth it for the clothes she makes. You remember that one ‘wedding’ bunny costume I wore for the photoshoots?”

Brigitte nodded. “Yeah, you still have that at home even though a lot of your costumes are stored away.”

“She made it custom for me and a lot of the things I wear on tour. So she’s gonna do miracles for you.”

“You flatter me yet again, Miss Hana.” Emma joined them, carrying two garment bag covers, handing one to Hana and putting the other onto a hanger. “I think what I made for you will be good for this event. Miss Brigitte, before I ask you to try this on, I will do some of your measurements. By my judgement the dress should fit but I will do any needed adjustments and have it ready by tomorrow”

“Alright.” Brigitte stood there as once again as Emma took out a measuring tape and went about getting what she needed. 

“Hmm.” Shortly after, Emma nodded and smiled. “It should fit perfectly but please go ahead in that little room and try it on.”

Brigitte smiled back, taking the bag and heading into the place she was told to enter. Right before the door closed, she saw Hana give her a thumbs up. Admittedly she was excited to see what was planned for her, Brigitte undid the cover and gasped in surprise. 

Inside was a burgundy colored dress; off the shoulders, knee length and felt like it was made of some sort of velvet. It was so pretty. Quickly getting out of her normal clothes she undid the zipper to slip the dress over her body. Brigitte managed to get the zipper up and secured the dress. She couldn’t believe how well it fit and even blushed to see herself in something so fancy. Even if it did show a bit more cleavage than she was used to, plus she was happy that she went with the strapless bra.

“How is it coming along in there?” Hana’s voice asked.

Brigitte just stepped out and did a little twirl for the women. “How do I look?”

“OMG Brig you look so beautiful!” Hana said with a smile and hugged her. It seemed Hana got into her own dress as well. Her’s was a hot pink strapless adorned with what looked like tiny diamonds.

“Thank you.” Brigitte said shyly, hugging back gently in fear of ruining her new clothing. “You look beautiful yourself.”

Emma looked proudly at her work. “How does it fit?”

“Perfect, actually.” Brigitte replied once Hana let go.

“Then it is all yours.” Emma said. “Now you two change so I can pack the dresses up.”

“First things first, pic for Lucio.” Hana took out her phone and took a picture of Brigitte really quick before getting a selfie of herself.

After everything was settled at the hotel, the Shimada’s got back into the car, stopping at a small Japanese styled restaurant. Standing just outside the main door was Akari.

Zarya pulled over and waited for them to get out. Sojiro was first, holding the door for his wife and sons. 

Yukina excitedly went to Akari, hugging her tightly and kissing her cheek. Speaking in their native tongue. “Ari-chan. I missed you. You look lovely.”

“Yu-chan, same to you cousin. How is Japan?” Akari asked as their conversation went on and the women walked in with Hanzo and Genji following.

Sojiro leaned over as Zarya pushed the button to make the window go down. “You can do what you wish to do while we eat and I will call you when it’s time to pick us up.”

“Yes, sir.” Zarya nodded, watching her employer walk in to join his family. She took one more glance at the green tuft of hair that disappeared passed the door. Sighing, as she drove off to get something for herself.  

Once Sojiro entered, they were taken to their usual private room in the back of the restaurant. After drinks and food were ordered, Yukina up. “So boys, tell me how you been? Now that we actually have a good time to talk, I want to hear all about it.”

“Nothing too exciting on my end, besides the usual gaming and music.” Genji said, putting on his smile. “Just living the good life.”

Hanzo lifted an eyebrow slightly but held his tongue. He knew his parent’s learned of what Genji did, even if they disapproved of it they let him continue. 

“You should try and settle down, Genji.” Their mother said, looking at him concerned. “It will be good for you.”

“I’ll do that when I’m good and ready, haha-san. I’m still young.” Genji kept smiling but there was a small twitch of annoyance in the corner of his lips. “Besides tonight shouldn’t be about me. Nii-san, you and Akari are back in town. Plus, didn’t you wish to know about his trip and all.”

The only person that seemed to notice that twitch was Akari. 

“I just worry about you, Genji.” Yukina patted his hand.

“I know haha-san.” Genji mumbled. 

Akari quickly tried to change the subject, getting her tablet out. “I have some of the pictures Hanzo took while on tour.”   

“Oh, lovely.” Yukina said and scooted closer to her husband to look over the tablet. “Hanzo, dear please tell us all about these.”

“I finally got to visit Neuschwanstein Castle, beautiful this time of the season.” Hanzo started going into detail about his trip.

Once both parents were occupied with everything, Genji looked at Akari and gave a nod of thanks. Shortly after their food arrived.
