[Bulla's walking around and handing out turquoise coloured flyers. Thanks to Vanille's help, she's got some that are pretty nice. The ones Bulla made herself are simpler, although they get the message across.

The ads Bulla made read "Vote Bulla Brief for Homecoming Princess. As the Head of Fight Club, the unofficial Fashion Club and a member of the Garden Festival Committee, she stays involved with what's going around Garden. She can also protect you from Grell."

Bulla offers a cheerful smile to everyone she approaches.]

Hi!

Medium length or ankle length.

[Short skirts have their merits, but this is a formal event being put on by a military school.]

Something short is more appropriate for a party being thrown by friends instead of by Garden.

[Katara nods.]

That makes sense-- all the formal dresses from my home were always floor length. Actually... all dresses were floor length.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Is that what you'd be most comfortable with? It's important to wear something you can strut with confidence in.

[She adds a slightly teasing smile]

Especially if you want to make someone special sit up and take notice.

[That has Katara flushing a bit, but she tries not to let it show.]

Well, I guess I wouldn't mind wearing anything shorter-- [C'mon, her outfit in the Fire Nation exposed a lot of midriff.] Maybe you could help me pick a dress if you're not busy some time?

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Sure. I can always make time for shopping. Especially for special occasions.

[Bulla can't help but be amused at the reaction. She doesn't prod Katara about it, though.]

We can look for something a little above the knee, then.

[Katara smiles at Bulla.]

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Even after all this time, I guess I'm still not use to wearing anything from this world other than the cadet uniform and sweats.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, this is the perfect time...I mean, when we're SeeDs we'll have to go on missions, right? I don't know about you, but if I pass the exam, I'm not going to wear my uniform much.

[The SeeD uniform had its own sophistication, but that was more appropriate for meetings than fighting.]

[watertides.livejournal.com]

That's true-- I guess we won't be required to fight in our uniforms after we graduation, will we? [Thank goodness, those uniforms are kind of itchy!]

And we'll make sure you have the perfect dress when you win the crown!

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

I really hope not. The women's SeeD uniforms have those knee-length skirts...they look great for meetings and stuff but those would be horrible for fighting in. Especially a martial arts specialist.

[She couldn't imagine trying to throw a kick while wearing that. Even running would be challenging.]

[watertides.livejournal.com]

Are you going to change your combat attire when you graduate to SeeD?

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't be wearing the SeeD uniform into battle unless the Commander said I absolutely had to. I'd probably wear some of the same things I do now when I'm not in the cadet uniform and add a few new accessories.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

Won't accessories hinder you when you're fighting?

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Not if you wear the right ones!

[Bulla grins.]

Like a cute pair of durable gloves for punching.
