Rally Stood nervously over looking the Ball room. Tables had all been set with candle, and starched white table clothes, music was softly coming out of the speakers and the Dj finished setting up. His lights played over the dim room splashing color here and there

2d stood nervously next to Mikako, his shopping trip had gone not as well as he had hoped. He wore black jeans and a blue short sleeve button down shirt, nearly the same shade as his hair.
He leaned from one foot to the other, frustration and anger pounded through his veins, behind his dark eyes he was waiting, like a creature poised to strike. the moment he saw Lulu...
He turned to Mikako then with a missing-toothed grin, she looked lovely.
"Ay 'ope we 'ave a gewd tim'... ay'v nev'a don' dis b'for... heh-heh"
He didn't want her to know what he planned to do, he really didn't want to ruin her night, but somethings where most important.
Defending the honor of a woman, and backing up his own threats. It was a matter of pride.

Murdoc lurked alongside the hotel, leaning against the wall, smoking a wrinkled Lucky Star . "Cheap, but better than nothing..."

He was dressed in all his finery , as well as a shirt he "borrowed" from 2D. Tonight, was a night for skullduggery, ledgerdemain, and boozed up chicks. His RV was parked behind the 8-13 store up the street, with a little friend inside he brought over from Britan, a big bottle of BeefEater that his dad forgot about one drunken wednesday.

He had his (2D's) tickets in his back pocket. Hopefully, some bird that didn't have any way in might cough up for some weed...

Behind Mikako's head he saw Murdoc step out of the shadows.
"'ey Mudsie!" He called out with out reserve, his anger temporarily displace the that butterfly feeling in his chest. "Ay din't kno' yew w'er com'n!" He grinned wide at this friend, his cheeking pinking very so slightly.

"'ey, is'nt dat' mah shu'rt?"

"Yeah, sure is. Didn't think anything of it, considering I bought it." Murdoc bowed slightly to Mikako, sweeping with his arm. "A beautiful evening! Crisp and dark, like a good wine! Speaking of which..." He produced a flask from an inside pocket sewn into his cape. He twisted the cap sharply, and tipped about two shots worth down his unshaven gullet.

"AAhhhh, how bout you, cupcake?" He tilted the flask towards 2D suggestively.

"Na' ta'nit Musdie. Bu' fanks. " HE wave a pale, long fingered hand at Murdoc. "Ay wan'a mak' sur' ay ca'n mak' Mika-Love's nite as en'joy'ab'e as ay can." He grinned widely, blushing deeper now.
Then put his hand in his pocket, and came to a sudden realization-
"ay dun' ah mah tik'et!" Wide eyes he look down at Mikako then up and Muds.
it'll be ok. he tried to tell himself. i've got money i can pay for another one... arg but that money was for more pot...

[spawnofstoke]

"Tch Tch Tch, forget something, ya sodder?" Murdoc cackled and shook his head. "Turns out, i got two here!" He reached inside his pants pocket, and pulled out two tickets to the dance. "I got em for two for one from some bloke that changed his mind about going at the last minute. I'll give you these both, half off!"

[theydothebump]

"Wha' ah Pal!" 2D smiled lit up as he fished in his pocket for the money and handed it blissfully to the bassist. "Fanks sew mu'h Muds! See Dat, Y ur mah bes' mate!"
2d was temporarily over come by the urge to hug his dark haired companion, but then stopped and turned to Mikako. "U've met Muds, rite? 'E's da on' dat star't'ed meh on da roc'sta' fing. Sa's ay lo'k lik' ah... 'ow did'ja sa'e eet... ? 'blu' 'air'd, bla'k eye'd ... god'? dat' wha' eet was!" Pride filled him, still remember Murdoc compliment.

[spawnofstoke]

"Now don't get ya noggin' all flared up, faceache! Let's get in there before i freeeeeze to death!"

Murdoc sauntered to the ballroom door, and handed 2D's cash to the doorperson. "One, please!"

Mikako stood next to 2D in the dress she'd finished sewing that afternoon. She was excited - Stu looked so handsome in his new clothes, and she had never been to a homecoming dance before. "It'll be great, Stu! Thanks again for asking me to go with you." Apparently having an escort to the dance was important, and Mikako would much rather go with a good friend than by herself

2D followed Mikako, like a lost puppy

[happi_berri]

This wasn't Mikako's scene either, to be truthful. She'd envisioned the dance to be a lot more like the ones back home - less formal and more artistic. She felt quite underdressed for it too, because her dress wasn't very formal at all and all the other girls seemed to be wearing evening gowns. But 2D wasn't dressed formally, so they matched - it was all right.

She smiled when he complimented her; Stu was always so kind. "Heeeeh, thanks~ I didn't think I'd get it done in time, but it was easier than the design looked at first." She doesn't know a good deal of the music they're playing here either, and it seems too slow to dance to. "We can dance in a little bit if you want to," she offers, hoping that maybe a song she knows will be played. "I'm just really glad that you asked me. I thought another girl would have scooped you up!"

[theydothebump]

another girl... yeah, right... as if on Cue he saw Jinx walk by with Terry, and his anger returned, flushing his face bed again.
Stuarts anger came in the same form of his father, he shut down. All he could think of was the white hot rage that he was holding there, patiently waiting for the stupid little Lelouch dullard to show his ugly face...
He turned dark, hallow eyes back to Mikako, even her off handed compliment seemed far away.
Would couldn't he just be happy he was here with such a pretty girl? She was everything a guy could ask for in a girl! And she was here with him.
Turning to look towards the dance floor, something caught his eye-
Lelouch!
He was standing there looking as if he was dressed for a play, with his friends.
"'Ey, 'old on, le's go sa'y 'ello ta ah chap ov min'. " He took her hand with out thinking, and headed towards the group of the little bugger's friend.

((ooc: after you tag here, were going to move down to a different thread. ^^))

2D looked... unhappy. Mikako noticed, but didn't know what to do. Was he that uncomfortable about being at the dance? Or was there something else bothering him?

She was debating offering to go get punch for the two of them when he took her by the hand and led her off toward a friend of his. "Huh? Oh, a friend?" she asked, having no idea of what was about to happen...
