There was no bouncer at the entrance to the Community Center, all the better for any underclassmen to sneak into the night's festivities and pray that their own official final dance in Fandom would be half so...red. To be technical, the shade was rustThankfully to the more practical among the StuCo Prom Committee, the Mars theme lended itself to

Punch + Pie

[puppywithatutu]

Someone thought more people would come if there was untainted (for now) punch and pie. Both in fountain form for your viewing and eating pleasure. Pie crusts come in both sugared triangles and conical forms. Non-believers will have to make do with the variety of moddable snacks.

Oh, duh, of course Kate was spending a portion of her night hovering around the food and drink tables. It was only tradition!

Plus she was kind of depending on herself and her brother for food at home right now. It was nice to get some for free without any effort required.

Even with the doppelganger around it didn't take Luke long to find Kate. "Hey! You look beautiful."

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

Always a good opening with Kate. "Thank you," she smirked, right before launching in for a hug. "Hiii, Luke!"

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

Luke was more than happy to accept hugs when they were launched at him, yes. "Hey. It's good to see you in person finally."

Okay it had only been a few weeks but it felt like a long time to him.

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

Well, it felt even longer to Kate, what with all the madness she'd put up with in between.

She gave him a firm squeeze before pulling back and smiling. "Feels like forever," she agreed. "You look dashing too, by the way."

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

"Thanks," he said, smoothing down his shirt a little. "I do clean up nicely, don't I?"

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

"Oh, definitely," Kate smirked. "Under different circumstances, I would totally be making inappropriate remarks right now." She tilted her head quizzically. "Did you even do something to your hair?"

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

"Yeah, I decided to go against the deliberate bedhead for once," Luke said. "Had to Google hair products that won't make hair feel crunchy. Which turned up more hits than you would think."

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

"Sounds like a lot of trouble for something platonic..."

Oh yeah, she was gonna come back to that now. But she was just teasing, honest.

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

"Hey, an aversion to hair crunchiness is a personal pet peeve," Luke insisted with a smile. "My nice feeling hair is just for me."

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

"Uh huh, sure it is," Kate snorted, nodding slowly. "Don't forget it's also for the visual pleasure of the rest of us."

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

"Well even on the worst of hair days my presence is a visual pleasure for everyone," Luke said smugly. "Of course the same could be said for you too."

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

"Why thank you, that was very smooth," Kate snickered. Then she glanced around. "Man, has it seriously been a year since my senior prom? ... Well okay, for me it hasn't been an entire year yet, but still."

Re: Punch + Pie

[trickydemigod]

Luke shook his head. "Man, you're getting old. I was a wee sophomore last year, I didn't even get to go to prom."

Re: Punch + Pie

[vanillajello]

"Oh, like you were a wee anything even a year ago," Kate scoffed. "Ohh, wait, does that mean you missed my moment of glory last year? 'Cause I didn't just go to prom, I was a fucking prom queen!"

One of two, actually, but details.
