[Xion only gets on the network to ask questions, it looks like.]

Since everyone's been talking about this dance... What are school dances usually like?

[short questions at that.]

They're... dances.

[whodoyou_see]

[B|]

I know that. But why are people asking other people to go with them? [clueless]

[beyond_thedoor]

Haven't you been to one before?

[whodoyou_see]

No.

[inspirethefire]

Don't let the excitement over the event make you think that these dances are required by any standard. While many people enjoy them thoroughly, others find them tiresome or awkward. The importance of it really varies, depending on the individual.

[whodoyou_see]

Oh.

Do you like them?

[inspirethefire]

Not in particular. I've always felt a bit crowded at those sorts of events, anyway.

[whodoyou_see]

[oh yea, crowded is not fun. still, she'd like to see what goes on.]

But it's one of those 'stay however long you want' sort of things, right?

[noimgeorge]

The blokes ask the girls if they'd like to go, and if they do, they go together and dance, hang out, or whatever. Maybe do some snogging later, if they like each other well enough.

Why? Got someone you want to go with?

[whodoyou_see]

[...she'll have to look up the word snogging later, as she has no idea what that means.]

Not really. I just... didn't know.

[ leave it to Fred to corrupt the innocent. also, teasing mode, go! ]

You sure? Don't fancy anyone? You can't go to a Valentine's dance without a date, you know.

[whodoyou_see]

[hooray Fred! she doesn't know what fancying people means either she has a normal dictionary, she needs a slang one now]

You can't?
