(*~*~*)

Cath straightened up in the mirror. She didn't recognise herself as she put in her earings with trembling hands. She didn't know why she was so nervous. Well, she knew, but she thought it was silly. Levi was taking her to a dance. The upperclassmen liked to call it "Prom Flashbacks" but Cath knew that it would be far more nerve-wracking. She smiled at her reflection and heard a soft knock at the door.

"Come in." She turned to see who it was and came face to face with herself. At least, it seemed so. It was Wren, Cath's twin sister.

"You look hot, Cath!" She chimed, running her eyes up and down Cath's figure. Cath blushed and took another moment to admire herself.

"Is Levi here yet?" Cath asked, turning back to Wren and smoothing her bangs over her forehead for the tenth time.

"Not yet." Wren said, smacking Cath's hand away and fixing the bangs herself.

"Dad wants to see you." Wren grinned. Cath groaned. Wren offered her arm out and Cath put her own arm through it. They descended the stairs and Cath tried to steady herself in her new high heels. They were actually Wren's, she had lent them to Cath for tonight and Cath had a hard time imagining why any sane woman would wear these things.

"Oh Cath..." Cath heard her dad gasp. Cath smiled weakly at her father and turned in a small circle.

"What'ya think Dad?" Wren giggled, motioning to all of Cath.

"You look so beautiful, Cather." Her dad whispered, giving Cath a tight hug. Cath returned the gesture and smiled once more. It was like Levi was rubbing off on her. All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door.

"Levi." Cath breathed, and she suddenly felt very relived that she was wearing deodorant. Her dad was the one who went and answered the door.

"Hello, sir." Levi glowed from the threshold of the door.

"Hi, Levi. Nice suit."

"Oh thank you," Levi said earnestly. "It was the best my ma could manage." Levi peered around him and into the house. "Where's Cather?" He politely stepped into the house.

Cath walked out from the hall, Wren trailing after, still trying to fix her hair.

"Wow..." Levi's eyes grew wide and the corners of his mouth lifted up to his ears. Cath tried not to blush more than she already was. Wren released her auburn locks and watched her do her best strut over to Levi.

"Hi." Cath said, smoothing out the ruffles in her dress. She always had to be doing something with her hands. Levi knew this too and took both her hands in his.

"That colour looks good on you." He grinned. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you." Cath spoke, taking a sudden interest in the floorboards. "It's teal, my favourite."

Cath's dad cleared his throat. Cath and Levi turned to him. Levi casually wrapped an arm around Cath's shoulder.

"What made them decide to have the dance all the way out here again?" He asked.

"It's Levi's fault." Cath replied turning on Levi.

Levi grinned innocently. "I wanted Cather to be with her family and have them get her ready like a little princess." He moved his arms down and wrapped them around Cath's waist. Cath rolled her eyes and punched Levi's arm.

"Have fun you two!" Wren chided, giving a quick thumbs-up.

"Not too much fun." Their dad mumbled. Cath and Wren both laughed.

"Don't worry." Levi stated. "I'll have her back in no time." He took Cath's hand and put it through his arm. They walked down the front steps of the house and waved as the got into Levi's old pickup truck.

"You okay Cather?" Levi asked suddenly. "You seem nervous."

Cath smiled faintly, Levi could always read her. "I've just never...done this before." She tucked her sweating hands under her thighs and looked down at her lap in embarrassment.

"You mean you've never gone to a dance?" Levi asked.

"I've been to dances," Cath mumbled. "Just never had a date before."

Levi smiled his familiar, winning smile. "Well it's a lot more fun when you go with someone."

Levi started the truck and rolled out of the driveway and down the street. They were headed a few minutes out to an art museum. Cath was excited about this among other things. At least if her nerves got the best of her she could play it off by staring at the pictures on the wall.
