[ He gulps. ]

What about Julian?

[wisecracked]

Julian has a girlfriend. If he's gonna go he'd take her.

[invoking]

There's really no one else? [ She knows he's no good with socializing. ]

[wisecracked]

[There probably is someone else she could ask. Heck, if she posted to the network she might get a few takers but...] Nope.

[invoking]

I can't believe that... Don't you talk to everyone?

[wisecracked]

Yeah...but I don't want to take someone I've barely talked to.

[invoking]

You're not going to let this go...

[wisecracked]

Have you ever known me to let things go?

[invoking]

You left a perverted passage from a book on my phone and you want me to go to prom with you?!

[wisecracked]

Yes?

[invoking]

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

[wisecracked]

Fine, you don't want to go. I'll just go alone then.

[invoking]

[ INSTANT GUILT. He pauses. ]

... Alone?

[wisecracked]

[Just as planned.]

Yeah.

[invoking]

You would do that?

[wisecracked]

Well...you don't want to go with me and I don't want to ask someone I barely know...

1/2

[invoking]

Why is it always me again?

[invoking]

W-What is this again? Some sort of dance? I don't dance.

[wisecracked]

[Because you're so easily manipulated, Gil.]

Yeah...you only gotta do one dance! I promise no more than that. There's also food and drink.

[invoking]

At a high school...

[wisecracked]

It's at a high school but it's open to everyone! And when I say drink I mean, like, punch and water and soda. [Purposely not mentioned someone always tries (and sometimes succeeds) to spike the punch.]

[invoking]

[ Ugh. ]

... Fine. But I'm still not happy with the message!

[wisecracked]

[And there's a happy little squeak that she didn't mean to let slip.]

Ehem...Good! And I promise not to leave another message like that as long as you don't let it go to voice mail.

Oh and the dance has a theme, so I'm going to assume our outfits have to match the theme. Not sure what said theme is yet...

[invoking]

I was in the shower! And don't do that! Raven lives here, too! She's still young!

Huh? A theme?

[wisecracked]

Raven? Oh, right. She didn't seem that young to me.

[She hums.] Yeah, like...the 80s or something.
