April had heard somebody was going to spike the punch, so she got herself a paper cup and filled it up. To her annoyance, it just tasted like regular punch. Either the spiker in question hadn't turned up yet, or there was such a combination of alcohol in the punch that they cancelled each other out and it tasted like nothing at all. She'd find out in a half hour or so which was the case.
Meandering to the end of the refreshment table, she looked out over the scene, rolling her eyes behind her masquerade mask.
Kara was still trying to adjust to the whole thing, not really sure what it is she should be doing. This was her first dance, never mind prom, and she still wasn't clear on what it was people did at these things. There seemed to be dancing and talking, but this just seemed like another social event.
She wasn't sure what the big deal was. But that was just her.
She adjusted her mask so that it sat more comfortably on her face, before glancing over at the girl standing next to her. "I like your dress."
Looking over at the pretty blonde bombshell in her stunning red dress, April was ready to spit out a sarcastic remark, but it fell short when she realized Kara's tone hadn't been mocking at all.
"Thanks. I sort of decided to come last minute so..." she trailed off and shrugged, eyes looking out across the room. Her dress was much less formal than the other girls, but she liked it and was comfortable.
"I like yours too," she added, actually meaning it.
"Really? Wow, that's weird." She looked around at her fellow students milling around or on the dance floor. "You seem like the type guys would always ask to these sort of things."
"Ew, so you were surrounded by geeks all the time?" Her lip curled up as she imagined mouth-breathers wearing pocket protectors. "Maybe it's a good thing they didn't take an interest in you then."
April's eyes actually darted around, trying to plan out an escape route from the number reciting robot. Because how could someone that good looking be that smart? Unless she was just reciting numbers at random, but somehow April felt that wasn't the case.
"Ok, ok, I got it. You can count really high." This was said blandly and not really as a compliment.
And here April couldn't remember what she had eaten for lunch yesterday. "Well, I dunno what you'd need to learn all that for, but I guess it was important to for some reason."

Which is true. They didn't have stuff like this on Krypton. This was actually a little exciting.

Kryptonians are just a weird breed, April. You're better off getting off the subject.
