It had been a rousing success, as far as Jane would admit. For the whole day, she had spent it hanging the shimmery navy blue gauze from posts about the area in front of the compound, trusting the strange machines of the radio to broadcast music until it was too late, and then, she trusted to the musicians that were in attendance to play. There was

Jane passed through the trappings and the fixings of food, tucking her hair back into its proper upsweep as she navigated the ball with a glass of water in her hands to drive away all parched sensations. She smiled warmly at each guest, hoping to be a proper hostess and hoping that everyone would enjoy themselves thoroughly.

Stu was at her side, dressed up in the shirt she done made for him for his birthday. He wore a grin that simply wouldn't fade as he looked around at the party...continually coming back to her backside in that dress.

Hooboy.

Jane glanced back, noticing that she had lost Stuart somewhere along the way and doubled back to him, gently rising his chin with two of her fingers before leaning in for a soft and chaste kiss upon his lips. "Stuart," she murmured, half-chastising. "Are you looking for something?"

[east_texas]

"Just lookin'," he replied, his eyes alight with happiness. "Been a long time since anybody threw me a party so nice for my birthday. Thankya, Janie."

For Birthday Wishes

Stu made his way around the party, more social than he'd been in a bit. His leg was feeling poorly, so he had his cane with him, but other'n a little limp he didn't pay much mind to, he was ready for a big ol' time.

The Doctor had not been too busy to at least make Stu a simple present, and he greeted him with a smile and a package neatly wrapped. "Happy birthday, old timer," he said, wryly.

"Thanks, Slim," Stu laughed, clapping his hand on the Doctor's shoulder. "You get any sleep on that sofa last night? Little short for ya."

"I did," the Doctor said. Probably better than he'd got at home, he could have sworn he'd heard something in the night. "Just had to curl up. Or maybe you all have to build a bigger one."

Cuddy was not only glad she'd heard about the ball but equally that the clothes box had given her a formal dress to wear. The room was beautiful, it felt good to be dressed up again, and everything about the evening was beautiful.

She moved through the crowd, looking for familiar faces as well as Stu and Jane. Jane always did a wonderful job putting these events together.

Jane saw Miss Lisa in the distance and nearly put everything aside as she hurried over to greet her, smiling away. "Lisa!" she greeted happily. "You came! Thank you so much for attending. I have been so eager for this occasion for so long!"

[doctorcuddymd]

Lisa's eyes lit up when she saw Jane. "I wouldn't miss this for the world," she said warmly, reaching to embrace Jane. "Everything looks perfect! So beautiful."

Jane smiled warmly, hugging her back, taking in her dress. "Oh! You look amazing," she remarked, eyes wide. "You shall be the envy of all women tonight, even me!"

Parties were something that Addison Montgomery was very used to. Parties whether horrible proms or fundraisers for the hospital, or just the functions that she used to attend with Derek were normal for her. She'd found a dress after two hours of searching amongst other people at the box, elbow to elbow, grappling for something and had come out victorious.

Now the key was, mingling without looking out of place.

Stacy hadn't been to a formal event in a long time, not since the last hospital gala Greg had actually taken her to. But Jack had asked her to come to this one, and it didn't seem like a bad idea. She'd even managed to find a dress and fix up her hair. And this, she told herself, would be a good time to meet more people from this place.

Jane approached shyly, smiling nervously as she recognised the woman from the treehouse and she brought over a glass of orange juice, freshly squeezed. "You would be Miss Stacy, wouldn't you?" she greeted warmly.

[silver_crucifix]

"I am," Stacy smiled, turning to meet the friendly and inviting gaze that welcomed her. "And you must be Jane. I've heard so much about you."

[bennet_beauty]

Jane ducked her head down shyly as she peered up. "I do hope they have been good things," she spoke, though she was very much unsure who would be speaking about her.
