Alexa blushes and grins wide at the impromptu dance move/kiss.
"I like pushy Noire."
She laughs.
"But yeah, let's go get some sushi. Sounds fine to me!"
The restaraunt in question is actually one of those rotary ones, where you can just sit down and grab what you'd like from the moving belts. You both decide to pick and share a few options and begin eating. It's all really good, and both of you are enjoying yourselves. Mid-way through, she looks over to you, with a serious look on her face.
"Hey so... are you ok? Like... really ok? I mean... a lot has happened to you. Sure, all of us with broken world shit and whatnot, but you in particular. Like your whole life has changed cause your healthy now. And now you are a girl. Like, it's not bad, sure. The first is really good, honestly. And in comparison to dealing with fucked up glitch creatures that I couldn't see... I'm sure even the second's not so bad. But... it's gotta be a LOT right? There's like some mental whiplash that could happen. So I ask again... are you ok? Cause I'm here! For... anything you need."

Noire bites her lip a little when Alexa asks if she's okay. She wasn't totally expecting that, but it's nice to have somebody to do that.
Which is a funny thought, since part of the reason she signed up for the League to start with was to get away from her mom fussing constantly... though she guesses that isn't even true in this timeline. Guiltily, she remembers she hasn't actually called her mom since Pallet, and while she's probably used to that in this timeline, she decides she should probably do that soon. Though not in the middle of a date.
"I dunno, I mean... I'm not really freaking out about it, or anything? Honestly I was way more freaked out when the obelisk showed up and I thought there might be time travelers after us - fighting off Pokémon is one thing, 'cause if they're territorial or even trying to eat me they're just being Pokémon, but somebody actually trying to kill me on purpose is way scarier. For the changes, I guess I don't always think of my body as me the same way most people probably do, 'cause I grew up with it fighting me. So dealing with it changing is easier, 'cause the me in my head is still the same."
She sets her chopsticks down for a moment and rubs the back of her neck. "That's probably why I was so worried when we first looped around and you were having the thing with your memories changing. That would scare me, having that happen to me."
She smiles softly. "So yeah, I think I'm okay. But... thanks. For asking. What about you? I know you were saying you've mostly got this timeline's memories now... How are you doing?" Alexa seems to be handling it better than Noire imagines she would, but after that, it doesn't hurt to ask. "Like you said with me, I'm here, if you need anything."

She nods as Noire speaks.
"I guess that's a fair assessment. 'My body may have a bigger chest but it's still not actively trying to kill me' is a good take-away I think, haha. But I'm glad you are doing good!"
She pauses when you turn the question around.
"I'm fine, I think. I keep comparing my early notes to my memories now so I don't get fully lost in this world, and it's weird. There's a very odd disconnect between what I know and what I 'should' know. I will say today made things a lot better."
She smirks and winks at Noire.

Noire lowers her voice... and wiggles her eyebrows. "So was it the date or the getting tied up that did that?"
She laughs quietly and shakes her head. "But seriously. I'm glad you're doing okay. If you ever need anything, let me know, okay? If it's just a reality check, or a hug, or... I guess I'm not really a therapist or anything but if you ever think you need one I can help find one, probably." At least, if they aren't having a nervous breakdown at the same time whoever's stable enough can do an internet search or something.
"Not gonna lie, this is not quite how I expected meeting my first girlfriend to go. But I think it turned out pretty well."
She should probably finish her sushi eventually if they ever want to make it back to the cosplay shop, though.

She clears her throat and takes a sip of her drink, and kinda mummuring into her drink:
"It might be... a little of both..."
She puts her drink down to answer the more serious question.
"...Yeah ok. I will take you up on that offer if needed. Same goes back to you!"
She smiles, and finishes the last of her food.
"Never expected to meet your first girlfriend this way? What, time-traveling to a possible broken alternate universe and then switching genders is practically the first overdone trope in movies, Noire."
She laughs.

Noire considers pointing out that it actually is sort of a trope... but usually for a second girlfriend, or at least after a breakup. But talking about a second girlfriend when she's only on her first date with the first one seems like tempting fate even if it doesn't upset Alexa.
She finishes off her own food and nods. "Okay, so. Costume shop, right?" Maybe a good way to distract from the serious talk. "Gonna find something to try and top the Tyranitar outfit? Though I gotta admit I liked you in the Drifloon one, with the top hat."

She laughs.
"I 'do' like that one, I will admit. But I was thinking more... that you should pick something for me this time. Yue kinda took over last time trying to get you used to your body. And uhhh... nothing is off the table..."
She starts blushing deeply.
"If you wanna choose something more for... lets say 'private viewing only' then go ahead. I have... an idea for a double one myself to go find."
She walks off, leaving Noire to her own devices for the moment.

"Sure, I can - oh. Uh." Alexa isn't the only one who starts blushing when the idea of a costume for 'private viewing' comes up. Noire is left standing when Alexa heads off on her costume hunt, bright red in the face - for once, she isn't sure how to handle just what Alexa hinted at. She wasn't expecting the implication of a private viewing that fast... even if she knows what Alexa likes there besides costumes already. Noire takes a deep breath, trying to pull herself together. Okay. Cosplay for Alexa. Maybe multiple costumes. Especially if she does take Alexa up on that offer, because she doesn't want her to think she's a complete horndog.Of course, now she has to actually decide on something. What does she know that Alexa likes? Gothy, punky, classic sci-fi, shrinking and small things. That last one's going to be harder, unless she can find like a bug costume... Though that actually does give Noire an idea. Some rummaging around produces something close to what she's looking for - she was hoping for a Ledian, actually, but Mushi Rider Scizor works, too. Mushi Rider has the side benefit of not involving giant robots like Poké Rangers or growing really big like Dynaman, so hopefully Alexa won't see it as Noire's giant monster thing cropping up. Scizor is a more modern one, but then, it took a long time for them to start having female Riders. Now, the question is whether she wants to risk looking for the... other kind of costume. Would that be better with Alexa actually with her, or just embarrass both of them? She'll pause and ponder a few moments, but at least she's got one good costume.

After a bit, Alexa rounds the corner with two bags. "Hey I'm back! I think I found what I needed!"She shows you and... it's certainly right up Noire's alley. The costumes themselves resemble the Volthra twins! (Can't remember if we named the Mothra equivalent, so go with this one ) The two sister fairy preistesses who summon Volthra's outfits have changed a bit over time, as seen by Alexa grabbing a more modern one. "I couldn't deal with the weird hats, sorry. But I figured this one would work and if you ever get a Volcarona or a big Venomoth or something we can totally dress up in these when you first use it!"She giggles to herself. "Oh, what'd you find for me?"She looks at Noire's selection and her eyes widen. "Ohhhhhhhhh daaaaaamn. Nice choice! Didn't consider that would be your choice but I am one hundred percent ok with it! Should I try it on for you?"She gives a big smile.

"Oh man I do need to look for one of those. Gwen's got that giant Caterpie, maybe there's a big old Venonat somewhere... Or a Volcarona, Volcarona works too, they're always badass."
Noire holds up one of the dresses against herself.
"These look great! I remember now you were talking about looking for these earlier. We've definitely gotta try that idea when I find a big moth."
She grins brightly when Alexa offers to try on the outfit she found.
"I'd love to see you in it! Also, I know you talked about finding one for, uh, just us, but I thought you might wanna be here for that one so you could veto anything too crazy."

"Yeah there's gotta be something around. Or you use that 'I'm friends with a mad scientist' card and get the doc to biggify one for you? Not sure about the ethics of something like that but I don't know. I guess that's more up to you. I am glad you like the ones I picked out though!"
She smiles real big and is handed the outfit, but then blushes at the suggestion.
"Ummmm, I mean I... can? I feel like with me there you'd feel like I was judging you. I mean, you can surprise me with it, that's fine! But if you'd rather I be there to be 'into' it, then that's fine too!"

"Well, if you insist... maybe I can look while you're trying that one on. I can probably find something good for your aesthetic."
Noire's a little pink in the cheeks herself, but she grins.
"What was it you were saying earlier at the train tracks... something cool and gothic? I'll have to find something appropriate for the heroine I turned into my minion."
Noire can think of a couple of shows with episodes like that, particularly ones that used it as an excuse to give the heroine a skimpier 'evil' costume. She'd just have to figure out how to find what she's looking for in this store...

"Alright! You do that and I'll go put this one on for you! But yes, find my 'minion' outfit."
She sticks her tongue out before headed to the changing room to put Noire's first choice on.
After a bit of time, she comes back out in full outfit, looking for Noire again, seemingly having some 'peripheral vision' issues. But other than that, it looks like a perfect fit and she looks great!

The black dress Noire is holding when Alexa comes back out looks like it might have been designed for a vampire. It's slinky and black, with a high collar in the back... but only in the back. The skirt is slit way up at the sides, and the neckline goes way down in front. She's also found some long, black opera gloves and a black choker, complete with a little Spinarak-looking silhouette for the clasp - if it wasn't designed to match, it's still a pretty good fit.
She doesn't ask about it at first, though, because she's too busy admiring Alexa in the hero outfit.
"Oh, wow, you look great! Glad I had that brainwave now. How does it feel?"

"Oh there you are!"
She turns to look at Noire.
"I can only see in front of me. If only this was an actual 'functional' helmet rather than just for show!"
She laughs, and then strikes an action pose.
"It feels a 'bit' tight in areas, but I gotta admit I kinda like being in full armor? Maybe I missed a calling somewhere, haha. If I was strong enough I'd princess carry you to safety!"
She gives a cute snorting laugh, unable to contain it.

Noire grins. "Yeah, it's... empowering, I think. Same way I feel about giant monsters. But geez, how did I get to be the princess in this setup?"
She goes up on tiptoe to lean her forehead against Alexa's helmet. "You have a really cute laugh, by the way. I guess since we're official now I can tell you that without it being weird."
After a moment, she pulls back and holds up the dress she picked out. "I think I found your minion outfit, by the way. I didn't think the usual borderline-dominatrix getup was gothy enough. Besides, this is a little classier." Though not by much, considering just how low-cut it is.

"Hey, it's fair to switch things up once and a while!"
She laughs again but falls silent as Noire gets closer and says the second line. The helmet obscures it, but Noire can probably guess she made her blush.
"I... uhhh. Hush you..."
As Noire takes out the outfit, she takes off the helmet for some much needed unobstructed oxygen. She takes the outfit in her hands and looks it over. She is blushing again, but for a different reason this time, as she looks it over.
"Ok so I guess this is not as far as some of the options I may have picked for you if the situation were reversed. Ohhh there's a little spinarak, nice touch. But uhhh..."
She looks up to Noire.
"Minion outfit, huh? Does that mean you'll be giving me an order?"

"Well, you were saying something gothic, before. If you wanna do punkier, that's pretty classic 'heroine turned evil minion dresses in a bondage outfit' territory. But I was remembering how good you looked all dressed up in Viridian."
Though Noire might still be turning a little pink, wondering just what Alexa would pick for a... private outfit for her. She's still grinning, though.
"Oh, maybe... after all, I know your secret weakness now." Her smile softens a little. "I mean, we don't have to do anything like that tonight. It is the first date. But if you do wanna do that sometime, yeah, I was thinking about taking advantage of what I know you like."
She pauses for a moment, then winks. "Though if you do pick one out for me going the other way, don't feel like you have to hold back because I went classier with this one. You know I'm not that shy."

"Oh I looked good, huh?"
She waggles her eyebrows at Noire. She does blush at the 'secret weakness' line though.
"I mean... Noire. If I didn't want someone I wanted a relationship to know that about me, I wouldn't have said anything, let alone let them do it to me."
She lets the next thing go, for now, to answer the last bit.
"I think let's just go with me at first. I'll have to figure out if I even want to put you through that first, let alone what to put 'on' you."
She walks a little closer, and it's hard not to ignore she's still in full sentai gear minus the helmet. She gives Noire a look.
"As for when we do stuff, I don't know. But you didn't answer my question. If I put this outfit on and become your minion, do you have an order for me?"
She winks.

"Oh." She's going pink again, but she catches on to what she missed about the question the first time again, and grins.
"Well... if I've got you in the outfit, that's step one. Step two..." She lowers her voice to an attempt at a suggestive whisper. "Sultry" is not her natural mode of operation. "Well, what villain doesn't dream of bringing the hero to her knees? I can start by making you kneel before me and call me mistress. And that's a pretty convenient position."
