Biggest Night of the Year
He's not interested in parties this year and with things being "interesting: with Syd he's not going to spend this night doing what he normally does. There's already people asking about the "hot young blonde" he's been seen out with. He wanted to shelter Grace from most of Hollywood's oddness, but the clock is ticking and tonight everyone will be on their best behavior...mostly...because the cameras are on.

"Grace," he knocks on her door early in the morning. "It's Dad." He's so going to get used to sayin that at some point. Really.

She smiled, yawning again. "Ask away!"

"It's the Oscars tonight and I was hoping I could take you, if that's okay. Jan sent me a dress for whoever I was going to bring."

Grace's jaw nearly hit the floor. "The Oscars? Seriously?"

He chuckles, relieved. "Seriously. Best way for you to meet people I work with. biggest office party of the year." He tilts his head. "I have a spa session and towncar already booked, but the appointment is in less than an hour."

Grace blinked a couple of times, letting it all sink in. "I'd love to go. Really. Thank you."

"You're doing me the favor, hon," he reminds her. "I'll get the dress Jan sent. You get ready to go. We can change into formal wear after the spa."

Later in the towncar...

"Got any questions so far?"

Grace nodded. "Okay. I'll be down in a few."

Once they were in the towncar...

"Any celebrities I should be wary of?" Grace asked, "I don't want to accidently cause a tabloid scandal or anything..."

He shakes his head. "All of them." He shrugs. "It's like anywhere else. Good people. Bad people. Good or bad depending on circumstance...and there's a lot of drama because actors are like that. I'm giving you the worst case scenario though. Tonight, jut let people come to you if you can. Follow my lead, and trust that little Jimmny Cricket voice inside yourself. Make sense?"

Grace nodded. "Got it. I'll admit...I'm a little nervous. It reminds me of the prom a little, on a much bigger scale."

"That's exactly what this is." He pauses. "Or so I've been told."

"I only went to junior prom," Grace said, "It was okay. I didn't have a date, so I just went with a group of friends."

That gives him pause. "Were you an outcast at school?"

"Not really an outcast...just not one of the popular kids, but I wasn't exactly a social pariah or anything. I had a pretty small group of close friends, and that was it. "

Huh. "Was school okay?" He struggled as a student because of his undiagnosed reading problem. He made up for it in other ways, but he hopes Grace had a better time.

"It was high school," Grace said, "It wasn't exactly the living hell that some make it out to be, but I didn't exactly have a blast either. Mom didn't let me tell anyone about my powers, always wanted me home an hour early when there were dances and other stuff at school, didn't let me date...." She sighed. "Sorry. I love Mom, but she was...strict."

He blinks. "No dating?" He winces. "I'm not saying you should or need to, I just...There's protecting from the world and then there's preparing you for it." Discomfort plays across his face. Wanda, Carol, victor's mother...Why did they leave their kids in the dark - and who is he to question that?

"Yeah. Sleepovers at our house were few and in-between too." Grace sighed. "Yeah. Mom had an interesting view on things."
