Ready Or Not, Gonna Make It To The City...

[laszlo_jamf]

When; May 19^th, from sunset to evening and beyond! (Just watch out for midnight, Cinderella...)
Rating; G to PG-13?
Characters; Anyone and everyone...and maybe a few more
Summary; Finals are over, the spring dance is here--finally a way for everyone, student and teacher, to relax! All the planning, preparation, and hard work has paid off. Students of all ages and grades are invited, and their teachers are sure to be there too. The school superintendents (read: the Deities) have done their very best to light up the Square. So whether you're from Westerberg High, Trinity Girls' School, Cutler's, Bikini Bottom Middle, or City U, you must have received your engraved invitation by now. Dress is formal, but the occasion is celebratory. Come one, come all. (And even those who aren't cursed may still come to take in the decorations, the food, the entertainment, and the merriment... or they can take pictures for blackmail when this is over.) So come and spend an evening under the stars...

woo awkward corner \o/

He looked over, gave her a brisk nod of greeting, before his brows knitted slightly.

"Guarding the f - oh. That wasn't my intention, no, but," he nodded out to the crowd, "with the way people behave around food, perhaps it is a wise course of action."

[aprettypenny]

"Nah. It's not worth missing out on all of the dancing for." Then again, Penny doubted that dancing was at the top of his list of things to do. No one who wants to dance hides in a corner. "You're not here alone, are you?"

[aperfectthird]

Percy looked uncomfortable for a moment, then drew himself up, attempting to look dignified. "I see no problem in going to a dance unaccompanied."

[aprettypenny]

Making him uncomfortable wasn't her intention; she was quick to backpedal. "No! No, there's definitely not a problem with that. That just leaves you open to dancing with more people."

[aperfectthird]

"Precisely." He glanced along at the food, inclining his head towards it. "Or guarding the food, as it were."

[aprettypenny]

"Or that. I mean, as long as you're having a good time."

[aperfectthird]

"Of course."

So uncomfortable.

Quickly, he sought to change the subject. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

[aprettypenny]

Every now and then, Penny regretted her tendency to talk to people who seemed lonely; many of those conversations went in the same awkward direction as this one.

"Me? Yeah, definitely," she said. "It's a dance, there's dancing... life's good."

[aperfectthird]

He nodded, trying to not look as awkward as he felt. "Good. I'm glad. I hope I'm not keeping you from your date?"

[aprettypenny]

"Oh, um... no, you're not, but I should go, probably..." Before things had a chance to deteriorate further. "Have fun with the food?"

[aperfectthird]

"I will." He managed an awkward smile. "Thank you. I hope you enjoy yourself as well."

[aprettypenny]

Penny returned the smile--perhaps less awkwardly--and left him to his corner.
