Having gotten to the dance just after it started, Rowan looked around the hall and took in the decorations. Even though she was in Sonnier house, she didn't exactly care about Quodpot so much. It was nice that their house had won, but she would have attended the dance regardless of which house it was that had won. Or even if the school had lost.

That was a rather large change for her from this time last year. She had never really been much of a dance person, and even last year when she had surprisingly won the title of Homecoming Queen, she had been apprehensive about actually going to the dance itself. That apprehension wasn't there anymore. So when she looked around the hall, she did so without the nervousness that usually came with being at a school function. There was a smile on her face as she went to get herself a glass of punch to start off the evening.

Frankie was hanging out by the punch feeling a little awkward. This was the first dance in a year that she hadn't had Tatum with her. At least her ridiculous prom dresses were a source of entertainment, but this year nothing.

Spotting Rowan, she nodded at her former roommate and walked over to her. "What did we win to get our house colours everywhere?" she joked, flicking her hair back.

Laughing Rowan turned to her former roommate and smiled as she spoke. "Judging from the two of us at least, I'm going to go with smartest and best dressed? You look fantastic!" She loved the way Frankie dressed all the time, but seeing her dressed up always made Rowan envious of the way she carried herself so effortlessly.

Aware of the fact that she actually liked the way she looked in her new dress, she somewhat self-consciously ran a hand over the material. "I feel like I don't even see you anymore. How is everything going?" There was genuine curiosity in her voice. She liked Frankie and did hope that she was doing well, especially after all of the drama from the year before.

Frankie beamed and swished her dress a little before kissing Rowan on both cheeks affectionately. "The colour of your dress brings out your eyes" she pointed out.

Rowan was so sweet. Even with her own problems she took the time out to ask Frankie of hers. She always had. Waving a hand she dismissed the question. "Much better, for now. I don't want to jinx anything" she admitted with a little chuckle. She didn't want to get too serious, she imagined Rowan got that a lot these days but still she asked. "How are you?"

Rowan smiled at the kisses, returning them as she always had. Frankie was just so easy to like. "Thank you so much. It's hard not being able to run outfits past you anymore. I called Gabe over for an opinion before I dared the outdoors."

"I'm glad things are going better for you. And I'm... ok. Doing ok. Actually I had a question for you, and just haven't had the opportunity to ask yet. I think I could use your help with something." Rowan also didn't want to have the mood turn to serious. They were here to have fun, after all.

"Well you can always call me over" Frankie offered. "Or come raid my closet. You know I have too many clothes to wear them all" she joked.

Curious, Frankie cocked her head and set down her cup of punch. "That sounds interesting! What is it?"

"I'll be sure and do that in the future! We need some time to just relax together again. I miss you being around." Which was true, certainly. It was very different for Rowan, being by herself in a room.

"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to help me plan a little party for Keegan for his birthday. I've never... had a party before? So I don't really know what to do here." She was planning on getting Keegan a tattoo from the place where she worked for his 18th birthday, but a party was never a bad idea, and she thought Frankie would be able to help her. It certainly would help keep her mind off of things.

Frankie's eyes shined at the thought of organising a party. All those decorations! Party invites! She jumped at the chance. "That sounds so much fun! My mom plans parties all the time, I'd love to help."

Rowan's smile immediately brightened. "You would? Oh god that's such a relief. I don't know the first thing about it! I figured we can have it at my house in Massachusetts? It's on the floo network so it's easy to get to. And his birthday is in November so we have some time..."

She had been feeling so out of sorts and at loose ends, that a party might just be the thing to help her cheer up. And planning it would certainly help her mind concentrate on something that was fun.

Frankie clapped her hands excitedly, her brain already whirring. "Are themed parties still in?" she wondered aloud. "I mean, a good theme means everyone has a good time. Especially if it enables girls to dress like hookers" she half joked.

Eyes widening a little in thought, Rowan considered the idea for a moment before answering. "I... don't know? But I think that would be fun. Other than Halloween I don't think I've ever been to a themed party, actually. As long as it's something the birthday boy would like, sounds like fun! What did you have in mind? And... you better help me dress for this then!"
