Bobby/AB

"Thanks," he whispered. Sure, hiding behind a girl wasn't a very manly thing to do, but he was hiding from a girl, so manly was already right out the window.

He wasn't so much dancing as moving AB about with a quick glance around her every now and then to try and spot Emilie in the crowd. If he just knew where she was, then he could stay away. But somehow, she was managing to stay out of sight. And he was sure she was there; all the little hairs on the back of his neck were standing on end, as if they were trying to escape too.

AB's friendly criticism of his dancing brought him back to reality. "Sorry," he said, blushing. "It's just I don't want to get too close. You know, Sam--" He froze. "Uh, Sam said the, uh, chaperones were going to... you know, watch everyone real close this year." He nodded towards a nearby couple dancing hip-to-hip. "They're... probably going to get detention or something."

Abernathy froze with him at the mention of Sam. "Chaperons schmaperons," she teased when he finished talking. "I'm willing to bet they've been drinking spiked punch just to get through the night. This shit has got to be so boring for them."

Just the same she kept her distance from Bobby. There was no use making everyone in this situation unbelievably comfortable.

	Bobby/AB/Emilie

It was just like a predator to approach from behind--get the jump on their prey before they had a chance to scurry off to safety. The throngs of people at the dance tonight were almost enough to hide Emilie, but she stood at six feet in heels and had green hair. Maybe Bobby was so busy looking for her that he'd completely overlooked his blind spot.

"Bobby. Abby." She greeted them cooly, smiling with a small flash of teeth. "Mind if I cut in?"

	Bobby/AB/Emilie

Abernathy felt Bobby's fingers tighten, his hands white knuckling, grasped awkwardly on her frame. "A bit," AB replied, attempting to be polite. She wasn't a big fan of Emilie, but she wasn't about to climb on her shit-list either. Abernathy had too much at stake being on probation still. "We haven't had a real chance to dance together tonight and he is my date."

	Bobby/AB/Emilie/Sam

Sam saw AB and Bobby dancing together, it was fine. It was totally fine and it was even better when Emilie came along. She clearly wanted a dance with her favorite boy in the school. "Hey guys," he said when he walked up to his two best friends. "I was wondering if we could have a dance AB, before I leave for the night," he said avoiding the look of horror he knew he was getting from Bobby. In the back of his head he knew he should not be throwing his best friend to the shark but he was still pissed about Bobby asking AB to the dance. No, no, no, no, I am not mad at Bobby for that, just want to dance with my best friend.

Bobby/AB/Emilie/Sam

HOW COULD YOU?! Bobby knew better than to say this out loud. But the betrayed look he was shooting Sam would have said it well enough, if Sam could just bring himself to look at him. He was looking everywhere else instead.

He couldn't say no, though. Sam had just pretty much said he was leaving; so he'd have to dance with Abby right NOW. He winced a little as he loosened his grip on her. It wasn't just that now he'd have to dance with Emilie. Now he'd seen what she was wearing.

AND IT WAS HOT.

	Bobby/AB/Emilie/Sam

"Oh. You're leaving?" When the clear indication was that yet, he would be after this dance she frowned at Bobby whose grip loosened without a fight. Emilie is going to eat him alive.

She moved away from Bobby slowly and made a mental note to try and rescue him later. Maybe. He was giving up and pushing her at Sam. Didn't he know how awkward it would be to dance with her best friend?

"You really owe him, Sam," she said quietly enough that only Sam would hear it. "She's going to leave claw marks."

	AB/Sam

Sam put one hand on her back and took one of her hands, gracefully sweeping her into a spin. He felt guilty of course, leaving Bobby to fend for himself but this was his opportunity to dance with AB, probably the last as well. Things had been awkward between them for a while, it had only gotten worse since she had seen him in his boxers at his house.

"I know, I'm sorry," he said quietly. "It was just... coincidence," he shrugged a little. "She looked hot though, right?" he asked giving her a little grin.

	AB/Sam

"Oh please tell me you just called Emilie Devlin hot." She offered Sam her most scathing look. She wasn't about to say anything about that skintight latex creation.

"And don't apologize to me," she admonished sternly. "You're going to have to talk this one out with Bobby."

	From: samtheman	Date: October 17th, 2010 04:12 am (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

He laughed. "Personally it's not my style but some people might think she's hot," he said honestly.

"I'm in a lot of trouble aren't I?" he asked trying not to grin. "Bobby and I have been needing to talk for a while," he said dismissively.

"So... congrats princess, I brought you something." He pulled the yellow rose out of his pocket and put it behind AB's ear. "It symbolizes friendship," he said simply.

	AB/Sam

Abernathy laughed rather loudly and tried to cover it up, feeling awkward. "Devlin's not your cup of tea then? I don't think I even want to know. Just don't. Even. Say. Another word."

She tried very hard not to lead, but seeing as how she was more "one of the guys" that the actual guys were she ended up pulling Sam around the dance floor. "Are you have a cry-walk in the man-forest and hug out your problems?" Besides the most recent weirdness she hadn't noticed any other bad juju between them. "I'm sorry I broke into the middle of your man-date. It was a stupid, silly thing and really it's all Devlin's fault anyway. In a roundabout way. Maybe it's more Sunny's fault."

Abernathy was babbling and struggling to stop herself. "Oh. Uh. Yeah." All of the words stopped when he put the flower behind her ear. And then Sam made everything stupidly okay again by that last comment. "Did you look that shit up on wikipedia?"

	AB/Sam

"Defintiely not my cup of tea," he agreed. "Okay, okay, not another word," Sam laughed.

He didn't mind when Abernathy started pulling him around the dance floor. "We are going to have a cry-walk, how did you know? Has he been spilling the beans about us and our man camping trips?" he teased. "It's fine, I'm not mad about it," he shrugged. "And how is it Miss Garcia's fault?" he laughed asking about their cheerful friend.

"Nah, no wiki, just my mom. You know how she is," he laughed.

	AB/Sam

"So long as the two of you don't end up pulling a nature boy stunt." She did not want to imagine either of her friends running naked through the woods. "I pay attention. Do you have cry-walker names?" she asked with sudden renewed interest.

"Somehow, I don't believe you." Sam was most definitely aggravated about it, but she didn't want to admit why that might be. It was stupid and scary and made her stomach curl up under her. "I'm leaving Sunny out of it. Her retribution came early in the form of her date."

	From: samtheman	Date: October 17th, 2010 05:03 am (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

"No nature boy, I have no interest in that sort of thing," he laughed, feeling more at ease with AB now. "Well so far we've only decided to call ourselves Rabbit Troop in dedication," he joked. "Maybe you could help us pick out good names."

"Believe what you will chica, everything is totally fine," he spun her around with a big grin. Then he laughed. "Oh Sunny, I love that kid but damn does she have weird taste in guys."

	From: atotheb	Date: October 17th, 2010 05:17 am (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

"Rabbit troop forever!" Abernathy yelled. She didn't really care what anyone else thought and she was still riding the high from winning the crown. For a minute she actually forgot she was dancing with Sam and was simply enjoying herself. "I'll have to think it over. Sir Sillyface or something equally embarrassing."

"I'll continue to believe what I know to be the truth," she replied cryptically but she was leavign it there. Any amount of digging could reveal things she just wasn't ready to find. "Seriously. She's a bad boy magnet. How does such a nice girl keep dating so many assholes?"

	From: samtheman	Date: October 17th, 2010 05:21 am (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

Sam was having a great time and enjoying her company, it felt like the old times, before things had evolved and changed. "Rabbit paws in! Rabbit ears up!" he agreed enthusiastically.

Sam pulled a little face but let the conversation drop there. "A good question to mob our dear girl with when we can get her away from her brooding companion," he smiled.

	AB/Sam

"I'll put rescuing Sunny on our to-do list. We've got to save Bobby first." Then Abernathy tilted her head to the side and frowned. The crown tilted with her, secured to her head with some bobby pins she had to borrow after the main ceremony. "I thought you said you were leaving the dance soon. You're not going to have time to mob Sunny if you're gone."

	AB/Sam

"Right," Sam looked shame-faced at his best friend. He had not only been caught in a lie but it was a lie he had made up so he could dance with AB and force Bobby into dancing with Emilie. "Well... I could always stay longer, I mean... it's not important that I go right now," he tried to cover his tracks. "I just didn't have anything to do and I was going to leave so I looked and saw you..." now that story was getting long and he knew she would probably see right through it.

"You know," he shrugged.

	AB/Sam

"Actually, I don't know." Abernathy replied shortly and stopped dancing immediately. "Care to explain it to me?"

	From: samtheman	Date: October 21st, 2010 11:09 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. "No, no, no, I saw you and Bobby... you know and I thought oh hey, I can go hang out with my best friends and then go home and then we started talking about Sunny and saving you know... the guys and... stuff. I don't have to go." Fuck.

	From: atotheb	Date: October 21st, 2010 11:21 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

Abernathy couldn't really explain the irrational anger that bubbled up. "Well you could probably spend this time dancing by yourself Sam, because sending Bobby off with the Devlin was pretty fucking shitty." She took her hands away from his body and turned to walk away from him before turning back for one last word. "I don't even get you anymore," she said and turned again to stalk away.

	From: samtheman	Date: October 21st, 2010 11:25 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	AB/Sam

"Wait! AB! Come on, we can go over there right now and take care of it, AB!" he put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Abernathy," he said quietly so that only she could hear. "It was just... coincidence. I should have waited. I'm an idiot."

	Bobby/Emilie

"Great!" Emilie said, almost cheerfully; as what seemed to be like Bobby's friends practically offered him up on a silver platter to her.

"Now," she started, slipping a gloved arm over his shoulder without waiting for much more invitation; making it even more painfully apparent that her breasts were almost at his eye level.

"Dance with me."

Bobby/Emilie

Bobby's face almost crumpled into an impressive display of patheticness. He moved under her direction (after all, it wasn't like he had a choice) and looked up at her fearfully. He was going to get a cricked neck-- if he so much as glanced down he'd get an eyeful of... OH JEEZ. What did she want him to do? Would she cut him if he put his hands on her? Good god, there was like no fabric barrier, it was like putting hands on skin.

He swallowed hard, close to tears already."Okay," he squeaked, only just managing not to add "ma'am" to the end of it.

	Bobby/Emilie

"Relax," Emilie laughed. Though it sounded more like a command than an actual effort to make him feel better. "I'm not going to hurt you."

That was probably a lie--but it was probably too late for him to cut and run, especially now that both of her arms slinked over his shoulders.
