Marney had been impressed that Apple had actually showed up on time, she hadn't expected him to be so punctual. Not that she thought ill of the younger boy, but in her past experience, there were few of them that actually cared enough to show up on time. She thought he looked quite adorable and even complimented his vest as they made their way to the dance. She watched the parade with mild interest, trying not to snicker too hard at Hunter and Apple together as a pair. Whoever had made the pairs had a sense of humor, that was for sure, although she suspected Mack must have threatened them into letting her walk with Tatum.

She was extremely charmed when Apple sought her out immediately after the parade and asked her to dance. "I would be honored good sir," she said laughing at the boys waggling eyebrows as she accepted his hand. "I must be the envy of the ball with someone as handsome as you on my arm!" She gave him a wink and lead him to the dance floor. Initially, people had been a bit confused at Marney's decision to go with Apple. He wasn't her usual type, and she had a bit of a reputation as a man killer, but she rather enjoyed being here with Apple. He was sweet, and funny, and no a total skeeze ball like a lot of the other guys she had dated. Plus, Leland was furious about it.

"Think you're gonna win?" she asked, wrapping her arms around Apple's neck and moving to the music.
