	Tatum/Sera

Tatum had a few minutes to herself while Frankie had taken off outside for a cigarette. She had considered joining her, but had ended up milling around the refreshment table instead, waiting for her to come back, moving out of the way occasionally for people to get themselves drinks of punch and such.

She felt a little weird, standing by herself and just waiting as she was. Before Frankie, she didn't even consider dances, let alone actual dancing, yet here she was, and they were having a pretty good time. It was always fun to try new things, especially with her girlfriend there along with her.

But now that she was alone, even just for a moment, she was feeling fidgety and awkward. Her eyes scanned the crowd, looking desperately for a familiar face, someone to chat with, even for just a minute or two until Frankie came back. It wasn't long at all until she saw the back of a familiar head, recognizing her sister even at a distance. She immediately left the refreshment area, maneuvering her way around a few dancing couples, until she could grab Sera's shoulder gently from behind.

"Hey, you're here. Should we take a picture for dad or something? I still don't think he believes that I come to this shit," she said quietly, smirking just a touch.

When Tatum reached and grabbed Sera's shoulder the younger girl was caught slightly off guard, evenjumping a little but as soon as she heard her sister's voice she turned quickly to face Tatum. "Hey so are you." Sera replied with a smile. Looking at Tatum's dress, Sera giggled, "Wow, you look more like a girl than I do." She laughed again, before her eyes moved down to Tatum's feet. "Still with the sneakers though i see." She added kind of sarcastically. She knew her mother hated it when she wore dresses with sneakers.

"Yeah we definitely should I think you're right." She answered back with a smirk when Tatum suggested a picture of the two of them. "Maybe we could put it in a nice frame and give it to him as a present or something?" Sera suggested

"Don't even laugh. I didn't pick it, do you think I'd pick this?" Tatum replied defensively, picking idly at the fabric bow on the waist of her dress with some mild disdain. "Frankie seems to like it though. I hope. Or I think. She seems like she thinks it's cute," she added quickly, trying to bring some semblance of good cheer to her situation. "And she didn't make fun of my sneakers either."

Reaching into the small purse hanging at her side, she fished out her iPhone, handing it over to Sera. "We can take it with this, it's all I brought with me. I used it already tonight, it's taking pretty good shots in night vision?" she offered, shrugging a little. "I figured he won't believe I came otherwise, and I'll have to listen to like.. months of you-should-get-out-once-in-a-while lectures," she explained, sighing as she tucked some hair out of her eyes. It was had to explain to her parents that she did go out all of the time! Out of her room, three feet down the hall, and into Frankie's room. It was still out, technically speaking.

Trailing off a bit, Tatum glanced around them a bit, realizing that she was surprised that Sera seemed mostly by herself tonight. Out of the two of them, Sera definitely had the more social streak, and even when she wasn't striking up debates and conversations at random, she usually at least had Meka or Jenny with her. "Where are your friends at?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sera looked around a little as Tatum did. "I don't really know right now." Sera laughed. She hadn't really minded being there alone, it just gave her a chance to get around and talk to more people."Meka was getting ready when I left the room but I still haven't seen her around her yet and Jenny, I don't know where is she. Not with me." Sera kind of trailed off, a hint of upset in her tone. She was hoping maybe Tatum would pick up on it, it wasn't often that she needed to go to Tatum to advice. She was usually the one throwing advice at Tatum, even if her sister didn't usually ask for it.

"I have plenty of people to talk to though." Sera added, looking around again. "I just argued with a guy in my class for over 30 minutes about an answer on our last Herbology test." Sera laughed, knowing it wasn't the coolest thing to discuss at a school dance. But she was enjoying herself for the most part.

So much as she wanted to ignore how clearly downtrodden her sister was, so much as she wanted to avoid the awkward discussion, Tatum found she couldn't do it. She had time to kill, and Sera needed her time. Even if she wouldn't admit it; the brunette had gotten far too used to playing the older sister all of these years, but Tatum felt that perhaps her turn at that role was now closer than ever before.

"Not with you," the older girl echoed, glancing out into the crowd, squinting a bit. "Much to your dismay, it sounds like?" she added cautiously, glancing back to Sera now, frowning.

"Yeah I guess so." Sera frowned, trying not to sound too upset, she didn't really like to show her emotions, especially around Tatum. Sera was always the strong leveled headed sister and she wasn't about to let Tatum think any different but she was upset and she did want to talk. That was for sure.

"I.. um I asked her to come with me tonight." Sera told her sister reluctantly. "Like as my date." She added with a slight smirk but in a quiet almost shy tone, not typical of herself.

"Your-- what, really?" Tatum replied, her brow furrowing a bit. That made a little more sense. Sera had been a little weird since summer, ever since Jenny had come to visit. She almost kicked herself for not putting two-and-two together sooner. Too much weed.

"I take it that she, uhm.. wasn't really receptive to the whole idea, then?" she asked, looking to Sera with a somewhat sympathetic look. She understood where her sister was coming from. Before Frankie, she had never asked a girl out, but she understood the anxiety. And the crush on rejection. It had to sting. And she didn't know Jenny very well, but she definitely didn't seem to be giving off much in the way of gaydar vibes. "The cutest girls are usually straight," she added quietly. It was the closest thing to relationship advice she had ever given her sister.

"I know I know they are." Sera explained, knowing that Tatum was right and that that was usually how things were, but she knew that wasn't the case with Jenny, or at least she really hoped not.

"I just have this feeling when I'm around her Tat, she gives off vibes." Sera paused for a minute before continuing, she felt kind of weird sharing this with Tatum. "I kissed her and she kissed me back, she felt it I know she did." Sera explained to her older sister. She wondered whether maybe she had shared too much? She didn't want to freak Tatum out too much, she was a weird one after all.
