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.

[invoking]

She's only about sixteen.

The eighties? [ No comprendre. ]

[wisecracked]

Really? She looks older. But still a sixteen year old should already know this stuff. I know I did.

Uh...1980s, usually refers to the fashions and trends at the time. Hopefully that's not the theme because...ew.

1/2

[invoking]

Wha-- no! I don't want her hearing those vulgar... that! [ That book is gross!! ]

[invoking]

Wait, so is it a costume party?

[wisecracked]

Sort of? You still dress up in like a tux and dress but you make it fit the theme.

[invoking]

Oh. [ But what does the eighties look like? ] Is this common for prom?

[wisecracked]

I guess? I've never been before but I guess they always have a theme. But like I said, I dunno what the theme is for this one they hadn't decided yet. But I'll let you know and we can go shopping when I find out?

[invoking]

When is this prom?

[wisecracked]

The uh... [Quick check.] Sixteenth.

[invoking]

If I go, will you quit leaving such -- such strange messages?

[wisecracked]

I'll think about it.

[invoking]

Don't think about it! Don't do it!

[wisecracked]

A'ight, fine.

[invoking]

Good. [ A heavy sigh. ] When you know what the costume theme is, you can call me back.

[ He hopes it's not a dumb costume theme. ]

[wisecracked]

A'ight.

[She hopes so too.]
