(Yay! Finally a Beer RP. Excited Sky? I know I am Now let's get down to business now shall we? XD)
Capital Planet was having one of its nice sunny winter days, a rare occasion where the sun was out and made the weather someone warmer than the normal twenty or thirty degree weather.
Mira was enjoying herself, soaking up the warmth as much as possible. Every day since November have been bleak and cloudy, a whole mess of gray. It was nice to see the sun out again. But the sun being out wasn't the only reason for her good mood.
"It's nice of you to come Christmas shopping with me Buzz."

((Of course I am! <3333 …Holy cow, is this the first Beer RP EVER?? We’re doing a historical first! Yippee! Down to business, indeed! =D))
“Don’t mention it,” Buzz replied, glancing at his copilot. “I still need to do my shopping, and I wouldn’t mind a little help.” He grinned at her and shoved his gloved hands into his coat pockets.
Wow, the stores sure did deck themselves out for the season, not that he minded. He’d loved the Christmas decorating ever since he could remember.

(I know, right? This might set a trend for beer lovers here XD)
Mira nodded, looking into some of the store windows. She used to window shop downtown sometimes when she had a day off. Something to waste time on and never really buying anything. Now that she thought about it, Mira didn't seem to know exactly what all these stores sold.
"What should we get XR and Booster?" Mira asked, hoping Buzz would probably know more about these other stores than she would.

((That would be fantastic. <3333 Beer forever!))
Buzz exhaled in a puff of air. “I was thinking of getting Booster a puzzle – you know, one of those thousand-piece ones. He loves that stuff. XR… eh, I was thinking of checking out Radio Shack.”

"Really?" Mira questioned, looking over at her Captain. "That's nice. Booster would probably like that. I was thinking of getting him something along the lines of a goldfish. You know, a not too complicated pet. He always wants one. And XR,?" She hesitated a moment, resting her hend on her chin thoughtfully. "Maybe I can get him a value pack of oil. He could always go for that."
Mira stopped outside a store, looking into the window. Inside was a neat looking pocket watch that shined brightly in the sunlight, almost like a signal saying 'buy me' to anyone who noticed the gleam. "Maybe a watch for my father," Mira said, taking a closer look at the pocket watch. "He always carried the same one ever since I was little, even before that. Maybe he would like a new one. What do you think, Buzz?"

"That would be good," Buzz nodded. "And Booster should have a manageable pet to keep him out of trouble." He wasn't going to even think about the Yukari incident - nope, he just wasn't.
Buzz leaned down to look. "Huh, that's nice." He tilted his head slightly to smile at Mira. "And you're daughter - I'm sure he'll love whatever you give him."

"You think so?" She asked, looking over at him. "Maybe I should get it." Her face dropped suddenly when looking a little closer at the price tag that sat daintily on the red pillow the watch case was one.
"If I only had 420 unibucks for one gift." Mira sighed, standing up. Well, there goes one present idea. "I would get it, but that would mean I couldn't get anyone else anything." She shrugged.
"Maybe I should browse the stores a little more." Trying to change the conversation Mira asked, "What would you like for Christmas, Buzz?"

Buzz smiled sympathetically. "Sorry about that, Princess."
...Had anyone even asked that since Nana was still alive? Well, aside from Erin, of course. Hmm, probably not.
"Well, umm, there is one thing, but it'd be really out of your price range," Buzz said sheepishly. "It doesn't matter, Mira - I'm not picky about presents like I used to be." He thought about that for a moment, then added, "Well, unless they're socks or something like that." He made a face.

Mira made a face as well. Who would give someone socks for Christmas? Not only was it cheap it was unpractical. "Don't worry Buzz, I would never get anyone socks for Christmas."
There was a slight pause inbetween that when she thought of a pretty corny way to mess with him. "Unless they were those candy-cane style ones, then I won't resist on getting them for you to open on the gift exchange at Star Command. Even if we didn't get each other's name's."

He laughed.
Buzz’s blue eyes flew wide open. “Candy cane??” Ooo, that was wicked. “Mira, you wouldn’t! That’s just – evil!” And – blast it – he couldn’t think of a good comeback!

Mira smirked. "What's wrong? Afraid to be laughed at?"
She skipped ahead a bit, leaving Buzz--still flabbergasted--a little ways behind.
She stopped when she reached another store. Feeling the sence it was different from the rest, Mira peered into the shop window. It was dark inside, barely any lights and really wasn't anywhere near the Christmas-y mood like everywhere else in the streets were. Halloween was more like it.
Curiosity taking advantage of her, Mira wondered inside the shady shop and was greeted with what appeared to be twenty years worth of dust. Putting her arm near her mouth, she sneezed a few times as the dust lingered in the air before it made a clear passageway into the narrow hall.
"Okay, beyond creepy." Mira said to herself, looking around. There was a lot of stuff in here, that was for sure. And for a moment it seemed like Mira stepped into someone's basement than a store. There were shields of many kinds hung up on the wall, along with clocks, drapes, and masks that seemed to date back to what seemed like a faraway time.

Buzz ran to catch up with her. “Mira? I – whoa.” He entered the shop and… Gee, talk about a place that was strong with the Dark Side. Okay, so that was an exaggeration, but it was still really weird. “What is this place?” he wondered aloud, his voice just above a whisper. Whatever it was, it was giving him the creeps.

Mira shrugged. "I don't know. An antique shop, maybe? It looks like it had things around the world in here."
"Indeed it does my dear!" A headdress said. Mira jumped back, nearly toppling over Buzz as the old Tiki headdress started to move towards them. Clad in an old, moth eated red robe and a staff to top off the old head-hunter gimmick, the person strode forward till he was inches away from Mira's face. His breath stuck of cabbage and Mira did all she could not to breath in.
The Tiki-man lifted up his headdress to reveal a man with curly ginger hair and a boyish face underneath. "Good day my fair maiden, how may I be of service to your lovely beauty today?"
He openly reached out to grab her hand, placing a light kiss on it like a gentleman would.

“Whoa-whoa-whoa!”
“Hey.” Frowning, Buzz interposed himself between Mira and the other man and folded his arms. “Coming at people with a creepy, ancient Halloween costume isn’t the best way to charm your customers, pal.”

When Buzz shoved her behind him like that, Mira was just a bit annoyed by that. Sure he meant well and didn't want this pervert doing anything gross--well he already succeeded in kissing her hand. But he surely wasn't going to do anything more than that!
Mira pushed Buzz out of the way, getting out from behind him.
"Excuse him, he doesn't know that a lady can take care of herself." She sent a tiny glare his way, getting her point across. "But he's right. I'm not exactly comfortable with a shaman coming up to kiss my hand like a French man would."
The man smiled, taking off the costume and letting it land wherever he dropped it at. Mira perked up an eyebrow at that the mess then back at the ginger-haired man.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Ah," He smiled. "I am the owner of this store. Anderson's Treasures. I am, of course, Anderson. And you my dear are Mira Nova." He smiled, charmingly, his teeth as white as an ad in a toothpaste commercial. His eyes darted towards Buzz and his charming smile dropped.
"And you are Buzz Lightyear. Funny, they never said you were a grouch on the news."
