	Casey/Open

He wasn't exactly sure why he bothered to come out. Maybe it was the fact that other than the large missing chunk of time that he couldn't remember from Charlie's party, he remembered having fun. Now here he was at a school dance, dressed up, and in a mask that felt sort of annoying to wear.

People were filing in behind him as he stood for a moment in the door, taking a look around at the decorations. Casey then decided that the best course of action was to grab a drink and try to find someone he knew, or someone in general so he wasn't just standing around.

	Casey/Apple

Apple wasn't entirely sure who he had come with, he wasn't even sure he came with someone, he was just too stoned to remember. He had pulled his mask down and grinned lazily at everyone around him. He suddenly had a craving for snacks though. After scavenging the snack table he sauntered over to someone he was pretty sure he knew. "Hey bro," Apple said brightly. "Whatcha doin?"

	Casey/Apple

By the time Apple reached him, Casey had one hand holding a drink and the other one full of pretzels. He looked up at the sound of being called 'bro', pretty sure the speaker was referring to him.

"Hey, Apple," he said with a smile and looked the kid over. Standing next to him, Casey felt entirely overdressed. "I'm eating. What are you doing?" If Apple was indeed as baked as his eyes looked, this was going to be entertaining.

	Casey/Apple

Apple giggled and stuffed a handful of pretzels into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed. "Just chillin Casey my man," he laughed again. "Watchin' the people and they're masks, it's... it's so weird man," he laughed.

	Casey/Apple

Oh yea. Apple was baked more than a frickin' pie. If for no other reason, Casey could tell by the giggle and the way he shoved those pretzels into his mouth. First Shelby. Now Apple. Maybe he did need to try some of this one day.

"Yea, it's pretty weird. It's like we're all just party-goers in a big bubble. All we need is some chic in a poofy dress to throw a chair." No, he wasn't the least bit shamed to make a movie reference.

"Oh man, yeaaaaaaah, and then the pink, fuzzy guys will start dancing and playing hot potato with their own heads!" he couldn't help but continue laughing.

	Janis/Open

Janis was READY for this homecoming nonsense, she had her dress, 'mask' and dates. What more could a girl ask for? With a spin on her flip-flops she took everything in that she could, the drinks, decorations, everything was more awesome than she could even imagine. This must be what growing up was like, and this was the stuff that after-school specials were built on. Sure classes might suck again, sure she might be close to failing a class or two already but hey! This was a dance! Furthermore, she was here!

First things were to be seen to first, and without much more than a second glance back at who she came in with and Janis was headed for the dance floor. Someone had to get the party started.

	Janis/Gael

Coming in, Gael did a quick glance around the room and couldn't help but notice Janis on the dance floor. With a grin, he ambled over to her, carefully avoiding the dancing couples.

When he got close, he tapped her on the shoulder. "Mind if I cut in?"

	Janis/Gael

Janis turned and 'squeed' at the image of Gael, all decked out like he was and let her dance partner fall to the side. He shouldn't worry too hard, at the moment it was some freshmen who stood still too long for her taste. It wasn't like she was going to remember his name in the morning anyway.

"Uhm. DUH." she replied as she stood on her tip-toes to reach his shoulders. "It's my favorite song and my favorite Zorro at the same time!" God help her if there was many masked men in that ballroom, she might have to lie later on with the same line.

	Janis/Gael

Her 'squee' made him laugh as he gave the freshman a nod in acknowledgment and apology, though he seemed dazed and confused. So it wasn't too big of a deal.

He grinned down at her as he placed his hands at her waist, and the only warning she got was just a mischievous gleam in his eyes as Gael picked her up and placed her on his feet and began to 'waltz' them wildly around the floor. "Then let's make it count!"

	Janis/Gael

Janis had been going through boy after boy at this point, it was probably a good thing that Gael had stepped in. Had she kept going at this pace she might have run out of underclassmen before the queen and king was crowned.

When he picked her up though? She laughed like it was the first time she had ever danced in her life. Both arms circled around Gael's neck and she tried to hold on as tight as possible, at some points squeezing her eyes shut, others wide open to take it all in. "Don't let me loose my hat Gael! My hair is under there!"

	Janis/Gael

And we couldn't have that. Gael had to protect the younger students, even from one of their own. Not that there was anything wrong with Janis, she just took some getting used to. And Gael was already used to her, in fact he enjoyed her company and how silly she was.

He laughed along with her, taking a more secure grip on her waist. He'd hate to lose control and have her go flying off into the distance. "Don't worry, I've got you. You can hold your hat to make sure it doesn't go anywhere."

	Meka/Ben

This is a stupid idea. You should just turn around and go to the dance. Don't be stupid, you can't afford to be caught being stupid. Oh fuck it. Meka stood in front of Ben's door for a good minute before giving her dress a final pat and knocking on the door.

	Meka/Ben

Weird. Ben hadn't been expecting any visitors--what with the dance and all. He slunk out of bed, placing the book he'd been reading on his blanket before shuffling over to the door. Probably Bobby forgot his keys, or something. How annoying.

He opened it a crack, surprised to see Meka standing on the other side. Especially surprised to see her wearing a dress.

"Oh. Mekala." An awkward silence. "...Hi. Shouldn't you be at the dance?"

	Meka/Ben

Meka stood in his doorway awkwardly. "Um... yeah, I just you know, wanted to stop in and say hey..." she tugged at the fabric of her dress a little. "What's up?"

	Meka/Ben

"Absolutely nothing," Ben responded immediately, in his usual deadpan tone.

"Reading. Uhm. You look nice." He averted his eyes.

	Meka/Ben

Meka looked down at her feet, smiling like an idiot again. "Thanks," she said trying not to sound girlie. "So you're not going to go to the dance?" Of course he's not going to the dance. He's wearing pajamas.

	Meka/Ben

"Oh, no." Ben shook his head, glancing over to her. It was nice of her to take pity on him, he supposed.

"I don't really-- It's not really my kind of event."

	Jenny/Ella

If she hadn't been nominated, Jenny hadn't even planned on going to the dance. She had been a more than willing participant in every other spirit week event, from theme days to the choir performance, but the homecoming dance had just seemed like a bad idea to her. She was excited for the homecoming game, and the result thrilled her to no end, and cheering during it had been a once in a lifetime experience, but the dance..

Well, it was just lucky that she had her sister to convince her to go. Between Ella and the nomination, Jenny found herself all dressed-up and looking for a place to go. Even if she was going stag, that would be okay. She was mostly glad to be there with Ella, to be arriving with her. It meant they could spend some time together before her sister and herself got swept away by any other friends.

As they entered the hall, Jenny was pleasantly surprised to see that they weren't the only people to begin arriving a bit early. There were plenty of other people around, and it made Jenny feel like less of a spectacle. With all of the drama going on for her lately, it was nice not to feel like the center of a problem for a night. She was holding gently onto her sister's arm, turning her head a bit to smile at the other blonde. "Wanna go get something to drink? Or should we stake out a table? Vinnie and them will probably want us to hold a table if we're all gunna hang out or something."

It hadn't been a plan, but Vinnie and Ella had been spending a lot of time together again, and Jenny couldn't help but assume, nudging her sister a bit. "Right?"

	Jenny/Ella

Ella had been determind to get Jenny to the dance. No matter how many "I'm fines" Jenny through out, Ella knew when her sister was not okay. Perhaps it was Charlie, it was usually that cocksucker. Besides, she'd been nominated for Homecoming Queen! That was kind of a big deal, especially for mom, who Ella was sure had cried down the phone for at least fifteen minutes.

The twins had managed to match up again, both wearing shades of purple as they walked into the dance. "Let's get a drink first" Ella said brightly, scoping out the refreshments. She rolled her eyes at Jenny's suggestion, going slightly pink. "It's not like that. We're just working on routines is all." Sure, Vinny was cute and all, but it hadn't worked out the last time.

	Jenny/Ella

"Sure, not like that," Jenny replied, only slightly mocking her sibling. She followed the other blonde over toward the refreshment table, wedging her way in between two older boys, and grabbing them both cups, handing one over to Ella. "You could tell me though, you know, if it was. I wouldn't make fun or anything. As long as he treats you good, right?"

Scooping some punch out of the bowl, and actively avoiding scooping out any of the fruit floating around in it, Jenny took a sip. She had so much she wanted to say, to talk about, but no idea where to begin. Nor was this really the setting.

But if she couldn't talk to Ella, who could she ever talk to?

	From: smella	Date: October 6th, 2010 10:34 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Jenny/Ella

"Shut uuuup" Ella whined. "Of course I would tell you, we tell each other everything like that" she added, as if it was obvious.

Ella copied her sister identically, checking the drink thoroughly to make sure there was no flotsam before sipping daintily. "I hope we dance with lots of boys tonight" she said excitedly, looking around and scoping who was the best dancer on the dancefloor, which wasn't very busy yet.

	Jenny/Ella

"Yeah everything, duh!" Jenny replied quickly, feeling an immediate pang of guilt, although she expression didn't show it. She took another sip of her drink, following her sister's gaze out onto the dance floor. There wasn't much talent to choose from, but there were some people around.

And if she came all of the way here, she supposed she might as well dance. It'd make Ella happy anyway.

"We definitely will," she assured her twin, nudging her gently with her elbow. "You have anybody in mind? I mean besides Vin," she teased, unable to hold in her giggle.

	Jenny/Ella

"I hate you" she said, prodding Jenny back. Ella hadn't really had a plan of how to dance with the boys, she hadn't got that far yet, all she was really concerned about was making sure Jenny took her mind off whatever was bothering her.

"I guess I'll just wait and see who asks me" she figured, shrugging. "Unless you have any better ideas."
