Coast City High Prom

[hopeburnsbright]

Avalon has never gone to one of these juvenile human dances, and consequently, he has no idea what to expect. No doubt things will be mortifying in some way that makes the Naltorian have to keep himself from hiding in a black hole just to avoid it all.

At least he has had good help - Henry was kind enough to help him find an attractive tux, though Ava would have rather not worn the confining suit. Still, it was a lovely silvery lavendar sort of color, more gray than anything, and looked smashing with his blue eyes and sun-bleached hair.

Standing in the living room, Ava looks up the stairs and calls "Hey guys, our ride is going to be here soon." to himself, he adds "How is it that I am the first one ready?"

"As much fun as that could be.... I still need to finish getting ready," Sher points out with a slight smirk sent Henry's way.

She is glad for the help. She finishes her hair up since she can see why it's not doing what she wants it to do.

"Now. For shoes,." She smirks widely. "Do you think I could get away with my combat boots? The dress is big enough to hide them."

Henry shakes his head. "No, no combat boots. Consider the heels a dexterity exercise."

Really, Josh wanted to wear boots or sneakers too. He's in the shoes that they bought for the prom though. Sitting on the couch next to Ava, he smiles. "I am not. You're hot in that suit," he says, leaning over to give the Blue Lantern a peck on the cheek.

"Still can't believe we're going."

Leaning in towards Josh, Ava smiled as he was kissed. It was hard to be pensive when the blond teen was near. "I can't believe we a going either." he replied. "I mean.. I guess I don't quite get the social ramifications, I just don't want to go."

She takes one look at the dress and just smiles slightly.

"I'll just go get the shoes," she says with a slight smile. "Thank you for the assistance Henry."

She took one last look to make sure the dress was fine before she went to go find her shoes. The guys are lucky they don't have to wear heels. She thinks they look like torture devices.

That's because they are torture devices. But so are tuxedo shoes.

Henry takes one last glance in the mirror. He takes a quick sniff of the air to make sure he didn't overdo it with the cologne; so many guys his age think they need to bathe in the stuff. Satisfied, he adjusts his tie and heads downstairs.

"Okay, I guess I'm ready," he declares. His tuxedo has a hunter green vest and tie, of course, but the tuxedo jacket itself has a more unusual cut.

He stands before Josh and Ava, then gives a spin to show off.

"Well?"

[healingbug]

Josh agrees about the shoes entirely. He can sense just what they're doing to everyone's feet.

"Not sure I want to go either but Henry and Sher are and it might be fun," Josh replies. When Henry comes down to pose, Josh smiles and stands. He smooths out his own tuxedo and whistles.

"Looking great as always, Henry."
