The night of all nights...
Valeria waited in the living room of area of the Fantastic Four's living area of the Baxter Building for James. It was the night of the senior prom for his high school, and she had butterflies in her stomach. Being home-schooled her entire life, Val had never been to a school dance, let alone a prom. She was both excited and nervous.

She was wearing the same dress that she wore for the wedding in Russia. She loved wearing it, and she didn't think that James would really mind that she didn't get a new one. It was only for one night anyway.

Val sat down on the sofa, making sure not to mess up her dress too much. She knew that they'd probably get their pictures taken two dozen times that night.

James was really nervous. Sure he had taken Valeria to the wedding, but that was a family event and it wasn't just the two of them like the prom would be. He had never been to a prom before, so this was entirely new to him. Thankfully he had a sister and a mother who knew what to do in this case.

He wore a tux of course. As if his mother would have let him out of the house without one and he carried a corsage. He didn't even know what a corsage was except that it was made from flowers and both his mother and sister insisted that he had to give one to Val and it had to match her dress. When did going to a dance get so complicated?

They also insisted on a limo and insisted that he remind Mrs. Richards that she needed to send pictures of James and Val to Natasha. He would never in his life understand women. Especially the ones he was related to.

He arrived at the Baxter Building on time and asked Roberta to notify Valeria that he was here.

	Valeria grinned when Roberta paged up to tell her that James was there. She got up from the sofa, nearly tripping over her dress. She made her way to the elevator. "Hey," she said when she got to the lobby, making her way over to James, smile still intact. "You look really handsome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even though James had seen her in that dress, it still didn't have any less of an impact. He stood there with his mouth hanging open for a few moments before his brain finally kicked back in. "Wow. You look...amazing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Valeria kissed him. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James returned the kiss with a quick one. Parents were probably watching. "You look so beautiful." Then he remembered the corsage. "Here," he said and shoved it her hands. He had no clue what he was supposed to do with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val smiled, taking the corsage and slipping onto her wrist. "Thanks. And you are the most handsome guy on the whole planet." She handed him the boutonniere. "Here...um...let's try and pin this thing on." She fumbled with pining it on the lapel of his tux. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's that?" he asked. He was very clueless at times. This world still baffled him at times. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2010-05-09 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"It's a boutonniere. Kind of like a corsage, only it goes on your tux." She finished pining it on. "There we go...sorry if it's a little crooked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh. Weird." He just shook his head. This world was strange. "My Mom wants pictures of us so I guess we better let your parents take some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't mind as long as I had you," he said with a smile. He squeezed her hand and followed her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Surprisingly, Val's parents had been pretty lenient on curfew, telling her to be back by three at the latest. She was a little tired, but her stomach was growling, as dancing all night had her working up an appetite. She didn't say anything, perfectly content to walk hand in hand with James.
