Quinn's spent the whole day looking at online prom sites, because this town isn't cool enough to have any decent stores, and she would kill to have a Mall of the Millennium around. She's found stuff for herself even though that guy didn't set her up yet like he said he would, but she keeps looking because it's fun, and because she's already playing

Hey, I've heard you're the one to talk to if I want a dress? There are no decent stores here so I really need one for homecoming.

[sooo_cute]

*gives a once-over*

You're cute. This is going to be easy. So tell me, what's Come As You Aren't for you, and is your hair going to be like that for the dance?

[joan_not_jane]

Thanks, I think. And Come as You Aren't for me is definitely not an opportunity to wear weird clothes - I want a normal dress. Especially if it matches my hair, because, um, yeah. It'll be like this for the dance.

[sooo_cute]

We all try weird things with our hair every now and then. It's the only way we learn. Well, there's this.

[joan_not_jane]

Definitely. And that's what I was so going for - just, you know, to learn about it? And with the dress - something less ruffly? Please?

[sooo_cute]

It's a little bluer, but it won't clash. Trust me, I would never do that to a person.

[joan_not_jane]

I like that one. Yeah, I want it. How much do I owe you?

[sooo_cute]

Cost of the dress, shipping and handling, and... ten dollar service fee on the Looks Popular discount plan.

*writes out receipt*

*hands it over*

[joan_not_jane]

*studies the price and looks worried, but then shrugs* Okay. Do you want me to pay you now? Mom gave me enough cash to buy a dress

[sooo_cute]

*eyes widen*

Oh my God. I didn't think anyone at this school had readily available cash. I thought I was going to have to put everyone on the installment plan, like they thought dresses just fell free off trees, which they might in some weird Twilight Zone town, but I doubt they're the kind of dresses you'd want to wear.

[joan_not_jane]

Oh, I have cash. Like my parents would have let me leave home without it? And I'd rather pay you now for it all instead of going on an installment plan, so hold on and I'll get it, okay?

*Joan whirls and runs off, only to return a few minutes later* Here. *she shoves some cash into Quinn's hands.*

[sooo_cute]

Thank you! My mom's going to have a heart attack when she sees the credit card bill, but I figure I'm doing everyone a service, and this *holds up cash* means she won't be on bedrest quite as long. *giggles*

[joan_not_jane]

*laughs* If she's anything like my mom when it comes to money, you're still in trouble. But probably not quite as much as you'd be otherwise...

[sooo_cute]

I have my ways of dealing with them. Especially since I don't think they want to chance me getting a job again.

[joan_not_jane]

What's wrong with having a job? Besides the fact that it sucks up all your time and you don't even get that much money for it?

[sooo_cute]

Yes. All of that.
