It was prom night, the big one that Jenny has been waiting for years and years for. It was more the hawking dance, or any other dance that Jenny had participated in high-school, this was the one where her aspirations were coming to light, and this was now on her senior year of school, her final chance to take this dance before graduating.
Jenny, was in her room trying out different costumes. She wanted something to make sure this was her most special night, but also nothing too too fancy for her date, Sheldon Lee. Since finally they got they started dating, they seemingly couldn't be separated, mainly on Sheldon's side, but jenny also getting more in touch with him to make up for their lost time and for more personal matters.
Jenny picked put her final dress design, and saw that it was perfect for the night.
Jenny : "yes! This is exactly it! Sheldon will love it, and I'm sure that-"
XJ6 : "Jennyyy!"
Jenny could hear just outside her door, her sister seemingly screaming in agony. Without even a moment, XJ6 busted in and didn't even give a second for Jenny to welcome her in.
XJ6 : "OK I need your help! Like badly!"
Jenny : "{gasp} what is it?! Is someone in danger?"
XJ6 : "yes! Me! Ahhh, I can't pick between going with a my dress to have a midriff, or not! I don't know which is more elegant!"
Jenny :"… Pfft haha! Really? That's the danger?"
XJ6 looked a bit steamed from that comment.
XJ6 : "this is serious! I really need something that will be eye catching if I'm going to find a last minute date, I know there must be some boy looking to date me, I just need the right-"
Jenny : "attitude" she said with a calmness and smug look.
XJ6 : "no, pizazz{waves hand across} , boys will like a girl in a pretty dress no matter what their personality is like. "
Jenny : "well, that's not true, even when I did what I can to look most pretty or attention that didn't Warren any boy to ask me out… Often, but my point is that I was lucky when a nice boy asked me out."
XJ6 : "well, not everyone is as lucky as you. Eh…" XJ6 sat down on the bed defeated looking. "I just cant believe I haven't found a boyfriend or even a date yet in this year of school, even though you're already taken, boys in class will send you paper notes to ask you out. Agh."
Jenny : "well.. Those boys are only after a short relationship anyway though, you wouldn't even want them in prom."
XJ6 : "still.. I atleast want even on guy to date even if only for one night, and especially this night.. Sigh.. My only hope I think is picking out my dress.. So.."
Jenny : "oh, well of course I can help with that, I'm already done picking out mine." Jenny then transformed her casual crop top and skirt into a fine and well lavished dress of her own, a one piece sleeveless dress with a long blouse decorated in ribbons. "ta-da, what do you think?"
XJ6 : "that. Looks. Too good. Oh I came to the right sister for this then."
A few minutes pass as Nora comes up stairs to check on XJ1, 2 and 3 in their rooms. She gave them a special meal that puts them to sleep a bit early, since XJ4 will join along with Jenny and the others to prom herself. Nora saw that they were in their beds asleep and napping well.
Nora : "well, atleast I'll have peace and quiet all night now."
XJ4 : "yep"
Nora jumped at suddenly noticing XJ4 behind her.
Nora : "good heavens! XJ4 I told you not to sneak up on me, you nearly made me yell" she said quietly as she can. "what are you doing here?"
XJ4 : "just checking up on the little ones too, by the way thank you mom for letting me go out with Jenny tonight, this is going to be so exciting!"
Nora then closed the door to the little XJs room.
Nora : "oh pish posh, prom I know is an important thing for young robot girls, belive me Jenny never stopped talking about it whenever it's brought up.. But, aren't you supposed to have a date? Where and how did you get one?"
XJ4 : "oh, well.. XJ7 is sorta my partner for the night. I didn't want her to be all alone here at home and so to convince her to come, I'll be her dancer."
Nora :"um.. Really? You're taking your sister out as your date?"
XJ4 : "partner mom, not date. Just so she can hang out with me and everyone else. I don't want her left out."
Nora : "okay alright dear, it is quite sweet of you. But you have your dress ready too. Right?"
XJ4 : "yep! I figured out the design with XJ7, we went with something cute but simple." XJ4 then quickly transformed her self with the dress on, a basic extention of her skirt into a longer version of itself and a rectangle bow tie behind her. "I think it looks great! XJ7 opted for a more simpler dress, which I find just perfect for her I'd say. Which reminds me, I better go check on her if she's ready!"
Just then XJ4 rolls off down the hallway.
Nora : 'hmm I see. {grabs notebook and begins writing on it} not to self, put a bell on XJ4 so as to not get sneaked up on…"
XJ6 and Jenny were looking over XJ6s notepad of her own dress design.
XJ6 : "so you see, I think with midriff, I get more of my waist to show off which boys will like, but I wouldn't look as elegant though."
Jenny : "oh XJ6, you'll look gorgeous with this dress on! You designed it just by yourself?"
XJ6 : "um, well yeah, duh."
Jenny : "I think I should've just came to you for designing my dress, because i don't see why you needed to come to me for help. You got it down already."
XJ6 : "wait, you're not just saying that because you're too lazy to help me out, are you?"
Jenny : "nope, I think maybe even I'm jealous of it. Heh."
XJ6 : "wow. You mean it? Thanks sis! But.. Still.. I feel like it's missing something." XJ6 then decided to give the dress a try and transformed her top to be a bit longer, but leaving a midriff still, and her skirt being much longer with swirls now around it with the green colors getting lighter and lighter in each row. To top it off she has a flower bow for behind her dress to seemingly hold it together. She looked in the mirror then to observe. "I mean.. Wow, I actually do look really good with it. But…"
Jenny : "oh! I got it!" Jenny went to her closet and pulled out a small bracelet with a flower on it. "you can wear this!"
XJ6's eye sparkled at it, as she could only shimmer a smile at its sight.
XJ6 : "yes! That's what I need! Put it on me will ya?"
Jenny then putted on the flower and with glee clapped her hands together and said : "done! Now you're ready to steal some boys tonight."
XJ6 jumped in the air with delight : "alright! Now I know I'm ready! Heh, even without a date I think I'll be glad to know I got some looks on me, but with luck, maybe even Don prima will ask me for a dance."
Jenny just gave a weak laugh and smile :"hah, right, Don prima.. Will I'd suggest maybe any other boy then him, he'll probably just be a big jerk to you anyway."
XJ6 : "yeah yeah yeah, you said before how much of a jerk he was… But he sure is a handsome hunk non the less, I think a night with him wouldn't be so bad."
Jenny : '"I guess.. But I don't want you getting too caught up on only wanting him. There's other guys you can find that are better, belive me."
XJ6 then gave a squinted look at Jenny : "you mean like one of those math nerds? Uh uh, I'm not stooping to that. You can maybe date one of them, but not this robot. I think if I find someone tonight, he'll be the right one."
Jenny : "well, I just hope so. But hey, look at us {gets closer with XJ6 and puts her arm around XJ6s shoulder} we're a pair of pretty dressed up girls, sigh, I'm just so glad I get to bring you and everyone else along. My first prom and I get to share it with my sisters, I don't think I can ask for a better night then this. "
XJ6 :" yeah.. Me too, thanks again Jenny. So, we should get everyone else ready? It's almost 7:00."
Jenny :" oh right, you do that, I gotta make a call first. "
XJ6 :" pft, oh right, your precious 'Shelby welly' I presume? "
Jenny :"noo.. It's pronounced Shelby Welby, he's going to be picking me up for the dance."
XJ6 : "yeah alright. See you downstairs then."
XJ6 then left and closed the doors, XJ6 was just as excited for tonight as Jenny was, maybe even more for the potential of how tonight will go. She sneaked back into her room real quick and continued to just pose and observed herself in the mirror.
XJ6 : "mmm, this flower is good, but maybe needs a color touch up. {spray paints the flower light green} perfect now, ah… {picks up a photo of Don prima} well, here's to hoping I get your attention atlest. {puts picture in pocket} with atlest getting that, it should increase my popularity to at least a more dating score, I hope.. "
In XJ7s room, XJ7 was pacing back and forth in her room. Still in her casual looks.
XJ4 then came in and saw that XJ7 was in a worried state, and herself felt worried too.
XJ4 : "oh dear, what's wrong sis?"
XJ7 : "I.. I don't know if I can go through with this. I mean.. We're going to be looked at!"
XJ4 : "well yeah, but so what? They're not going to-"
XJ7 : "judge us? Uh yeah they will. Absolutely they will. And I already can feel XJ5's jokes coming along to haunt us.. How people will think we're both on a... Date.."
XJ4 just look puzzled at XJ7, then smiled and gave a small weak laugh.
XJ4 : "heh, oh come on XJ7, we're doing this dance as partners, other people do this with this sisters at times."
XJ7 : "yeah, if they're losers who can't find a date on their own.. Sigh.. Im Also likely holding you back.. You shouldn't take me with you, maybe you'll find a better date there anyway."
XJ4 looked now with slight anger on her face.
XJ4 : "hmph! No. {holds XJ7s hand} I'm not looking to prom just for some date, I'm not XJ6, I just want us to go so we can all be together tonight and have a great time! This is something Jenny's said was a very important night for most students! So, I don't want us to miss it out, regardless of us finding dates or not. And I don't want you staying home all night alone either, so for your own good and mine, we're all going together, and you are Going to show me how to dance! "
XJ7 just sighed until she realized what she said :" wait.. Is all this actually all about you wanting to learn how to dance? "
XJ4 :" a-what? {blushes} um no.. No no, it's not that. As I said its because I want us all together.. And.. "
XJ7 looked like she wasn't buying what XJ4 was saying. XJ4 couldn't hold out any longer and just gave out a sigh.
XJ4 :" agh.. OK fine, it's ALSO because I want to learn how to dance anyway.. Im no good dancing on my own, even with a dancing program! I know that you enjoyed square dancing with Jenny one time, so.."
XJ7 : "so instead of asking her how to dance you're asking me?"
XJ4 : "because I figured I might as have two birds with one stone, or maybe even 3, I take you out to dance with everyone, you teach me how to dance, and thus boost your self esteem!"
XJ7 : "... Sigh, I'll never understand how you get this much high hopes on me, will I? "
XJ4 :" mmm nope. {hugs} just I care a lot for you sister, you deserve to have some fun too, and just trust me, tonight will be a fun night, I promise. "
XJ7 :" hm.. You're not going to let any girls pick on me for my dress? "
XJ4 :" hah, oh please, pick on you? Whose going to pick on you for the dress we picked out? It's perfectly pretty! "
XJ7 :" yes but.. I don't know, maybe I'm just not worth putting on the dress. "
XJ4 :" oh come on now.. How about you just put on the dress and see? "
XJ7 :"hm..fine I'll give it a try." XJ7 then transformed her clothes to the dress, a simple plain dress to her liking with a slight decoration on her skirt that had a rowed color pallette switching to blue to dark blue to blue and dark blue. As well as an additional design brought by XJ4, a small flower on XJ7s left pigtail, with a blue color to it. "oh well.. Wow, I do have to admit I look pretty nice.. I think?"
XJ4 :"oh. My. Biscuits! You look great! Ya see? You look more sweeter then I anticipated! We're going to look so great dancing together then {hugs to XJ7 and forms a dancing pose} you'll see, well have a lot of fun tonight."
XJ7 : "{blushes} oh, wow thanks, um.. Well okay, I think you're right, heh, maybe tonight things won't go horribly for me like last time I danced. Hopefully at most, we'll only be called dorks. "
XJ4 :" that's the spirit! Oh! And almost forgot, {puts a flower bracelet on XJ7s hand} I made this for you, and Jenny, a sweet bracelet! I heard its traditional for one to wear when a lady already has a dancer, so, I got on for you since you have me, and one for Jenny since I don't think Sheldon is really going to get her one. "
XJ7 :" ah.. So this is a date isn't it? "
XJ4 laughed as she rolled with XJ7 out the door.
XJ4 :" nooo, were just partners, dance partners. Come on, I think everyone is waiting downstairs. "
They walked down the hallway now to down the stairs.
As XJ4 and XJ7 reached down stairs, XJ6 got out her room and followed suit, and along with Jenny she came out as well.
Jenny : "Oh hey, I see you changed the color to your flower, very nice touch."
XJ6 : "yeah, I figured i might as well make it fit my anesthetic. It's not much but I think everydetail matters."
They reached down stairs where nora was waiting with XJ4, 7 AND XJ5, who was wearing most peculiarly a tuxedo style to her self with a big fancy bow tie and a rose flower replacing her satilite dish.
XJ4 :" oh wooow, XJ6 you look terrific! And so do you Jenny! Wow you both should've gone out with each other for this dance, just like me and XJ7!"
XJ7 : "um..you said still were not-"
XJ4 : "yeah yeah yeah, just I mean XJ6 and Jenny look like a cute pair to one another."
XJ6 : "heh, um right, thanks. And oh my XJ7 you yourself look not so bad yourself, but you won't get jealousy out of me though.. Not unless some boy likes your dress over-.. Hey, is that the same flower I have!"
XJ6 showed her bracelet next to XJ7s, and they looked almost the exact same, with exception to it having a color change.
XJ7 :" oh, huh, I guess Jenny didn't want to wear a flower herself, I guess that makes this flower somewhat a dud. "
Jenny :" noo XJ7, you look perfect with that flower! It matches well with the flower on your head too. And it's perfect on XJ6 too, it's just I didnt need a flower bracelet though, not with this dress. "
XJ6 :" but, this is essentially like a hand me down flower, no?.. "
Jenny :"no of course not, XJ4 gave it to me incase I needed it for whatever dress I wore, right?"
XJ4 : "um.. I gave it to you because I heard that it's given to those who have dates already, sorta like a symbol of already Being taken."
XJ6 then had a very stumped look on her monitor, she couldn't belive that she's wearing something that sorta means a mockery to her and to not having a date. She wanted to lash out at both Jenny and XJ4, but, took in a deep breath, and let her servos cool down.
XJ6 : "{breaths in, breath out} OK, I'll pretend I did hear that.. Because Im pretty sure, XJ4 is wrong, no?"
Jenny : "yeah, XJ4, it's the date that's going to bring me a flower to wear, I don't just get one myself, plus I don't really need a flower for my dress still, though Sheldon might get me one to wear anyway."
XJ6 : "so.. {looks at bracelet} should I keep this on still? I still want to find a date at prom.."
Nora was just looking from the sidelines seeing her creations discuss their prom night, rolling her eyes at this silly tradition that young women are into.
Nora :" bah, XJ6, you look very beautiful as is, flower or no flower I'm sure your night go well."
XJ6 : "but-"
Nora : "no buts young lady. Just trust Jenny on what she says, I'm sure she knows more about prom traditions then I do."
XJ5 : "yeah sis, you just need to chill out, get the right attitude, once you get out there to the prom, I'm sure all the guys from desperete to... Well mostly not desperete, will come to you."
XJ6 : "agh, gee thanks. Ah well, I do like this flower, hopefully it won't mean anything troubling."
XJ7 : "well.. If it does, then it's a good repellent against boys I may not want to talk to."
XJ6 just gave a stern quick look at XJ7 as she said that.
XJ7 : "I mean because I'm not so pretty... Obviously..."
XJ4 : "oh hush now on that nonsense. You're beautiful just as you are! And more so with that dress, we're all going to look so great tonight girls!"
Just as XJ4 finished saying in a cheer, a sudden "stomp" could be heard coming from upstairs.
Nora : "oh my, I guess XJ8 is finally done with her dress."
{STOMP}
XJ6 : "well she better have, she took like 4 hours to decide."
{STOMP}
XJ5 : "Hey, it's not like it's easy to get a girl her size anything nice. So it must look really nice if she wanted to pretty up so bad."
{STOMP}
XJ7 : "well I know I'm last place when it comes to prettiest in this family, oh well, let's just get this over with.."
{STOMP STOMP STOMP} Finally XJ8 was able to come down the stairs, and to everyone surprise she didn't come in a dress, but instead, it was a very static and yet fancy tuxedo, (the same one worn in the home school episode), with a big red tie that look too eccentric and out of touch on her, yet somehow it worked well.
XJ8 :"alright I'm ready to... Boogy."
Everyone was silent a bit, but XJ6 couldn't hold it in and bursted to laugh, which triggered everyone else to giggle and laugh. XJ8 just looked with confusion at everyone, and then at Nora who only shook her head as she palmed her face.
Nora :" ahhh XJ8, this is a real prom date now, not one where I got you to pretend date Jenny, you're supposed to wear a dress or something."
XJ5 : "yeah, you almost stole my design, but at least you have a body for a proper dress though."
XJ8s expression didn't change, she just looked stern at her sisters who were now calming down on their laughter.
XJ8 :"this is my dress unit, mother, you made it for me, and it means something to me then to wear to prom. If this is a special night, I want to wear something that special to me."
Everyone then stopped on the spot, to think about what she said, and they all instantaneously went :" awwww"
Jenny : "she's right girls, I guess for XJ8, all that matters is that we make this special night a special one indeed, for all of us. So fancy dress or not, flower or not, all of us together is what matters and the fun we'll have is what we want to remember, right? "
Everyone :" right!"
Jenny :" alright, bring it here guys {extends her arms to hug everyone in a circle} hehe."
Nora was feeling a heart felt moment, just seeing her daughters in this much joy and excitement made her wish she could join them in their night to keep watch of them, but she knew better, let her girls have fun and grow on their own.
Nora :" aww, I'm so proud of you girls. Oh! {quickly gets a camera and takes a photo} these moment must go to the memory journal, you girls should remember to take photos while in prom!"
XJ4 : "aw! You hear that XJ7? We can capture our memory of dancing together in the dream journal!"
XJ7 : "oh dear..."
Nora: "okay, how about you all get to a pose together and let me take a photo of you all so I can capture a youre dressed as well."
Everyone agreed and quickly got in their spots. XJ8 in very back while XJ4 and XJ7 next to each other, with Jenny and XJ6 each other next to each other, and XJ5 flying above them. Nora take the photo and takes a look at the photograph.
Nora :" ah perfecto!"
Just then, there was knocking in the front door now, and everyone could easily guess who it must be.
Jenny : "yipe! It's my date!"
XJ6 then said teasingly : "your Shelby welby?"
XJ5 : "I thought he was called her Shelbaby, haha."
Jenny : "quiet! Ahem."
She rushed to the door and opened it, and gladly got to see indeed it was her date Sheldon Lee.
Sheldon : "h-hi Jenny! Ahem, oh my, you look quite, quite-"
Jenny then blushed and said for him : "beautiful?"
Sheldon : "more exquisite then the moons of neptune"
Everyone behind Jenny heard that and said : "awwww" at that comment, in show they see why Jenny can find him quite charming.
Sheldon : "I uh, also got you these {presents blue and white flowers} "
Jenny : "aww Sheldon, they're so sweet! {hugs tightly} thanks Shelby! Mm I'm going to save these for my room later, Mm.. Maybe you get to see where I place it later tonight." she said with more of a blush and a wink.
Sheldon : "ahem, oh my. Well, I think I'll quite like that, {gives awkward laugh} hehe."
Just then Nora takes a photo of them when they were holding each other's hands.
Nora : "ah.. I'm so glad Jenny came To her senses and got to dating you, I couldn't imagine a better option then a smart boy like you!"
Jenny : "mooom. Don't embarrass me."
XJ6 just giggled : "yeah, now you see why I won't end up dating a nerd. Mom will get way to into it." she said giving a sorta harsh look at Nora without her noticing.
XJ5 : "okay okay guy and gals, I think we better get going before we're late! Come on!" XJ5 then flew out the door quickly and everyone else followed suit. Except XJ4 and XJ7.
XJ4 : "Um, mom, if its OK. Can you maybe drive me and XJ7 to the dance? I feel like it would be more formal for one and their dance partner to have a car ride there. Hehe"
XJ7 just blushed madely, she felt like it was a weird fever dream to have a night like this with her own sister.
Nora : "aw alright dear. I guess you'll all meet each other at the dance, well come on girls, let's get a move on. Oh and {takes phot of XJ4 and 7 when they're holding each other's hands} there, I think that's a the photos I'm taking for the night."
XJ7 : "ohhh please no more, I'm never good in photos that often.."
They then walked out the door as Jenny and Sheldon were left alone for a moment in the house.
Sheldon : "well, I got us a ride, so.. {bows and presents a way for Jenny to come out the door with his arm bent out for Jenny to put her arm around it} m'lady?"
Jenny blushed and with a little dorky giggle said : "ahem, of course, my big man. {puts arm around his arm} "
They then walked to Sheldon's car, which wasn't much of a fancy car but one that still was of good class to Jenny's liking. Though inside, there was also a bit of decoration made for Jenny.
Sheldon opened the passanger door for Jenny.
Jenny :" hehe, oh my, thank you."
Jenny the got in and Sheldon closed the door, he squealed in excitement and said to himself : "finally, all my dreams are coming true!"
He giggled like a child to the driver side and drove off with Jenny down the road.
While XJ4 and XJ7 got in the back of Nora's car as Nora drove off following Sheldon's. And everyone else just flew up in the air together following suit with Nora.
As the Sheldon's car rolled to the parking lot, Noras car parked next to him and not far behind the rest of the XJs flew in and landed in the side walk.
XJ4 popped of Noras car first and with excitement like tucker arriving at the goop zone.
XJ4 : "we're here we're here we're here!"
XJ7 then followed suit and got out the car as well, not as excited but instead reluctant the closer she got to this prom.
XJ7 : "yeah alright, you've been all giddy for it the entire ride."
XJ4 : "I know! Let's just get inside and-"
Nora : "calm down, XJ4, wait first for your sisters. And you should know young lady acting like this considered rude."
XJ4 then quickly hushed herself, if there's one thing she considerd more important then fun, it was self image. She had to look and even act "clean".
XJ4 : "oh, yes mother. Sorry."
Jenny and Sheldon then walked up by to XJ4 and 7, where she noticed they were holding hands still.
Jenny :"hehe, don't worry XJ4, it's alright to be this excited.. Because I'm just as excited too!"
XJ6 then dropped right next to Jenny and XJ4 as they gathered together to let out a :"wheee hehe! " as they shook with excitement.
XJ8 and XJ5 came up next and were just chill and prepared as ever. Neither of them had their own dates either for the prom, but they didn't mind or care so much about that. They just want to enjoy both good company and XJ5 wanting to see if she could get herself some more groups to bud with and chat all night with.
XJ5 : "come on girls, a whole party is waiting for us!"
Everyone walked together into the schools enterence as Nora watched her daughters in their fine dresses and Jenny with her date go into the night, hoping that they don't do anything too frantic or something that can cause an incident, but she knows better that they've matured now from whatever mistakes she entailed or assumed they as prototypes could make, but instead seeing them as daughters finally growing up.
Nora took one last photo from behind as they walked together through the high-school doors.
Nora : "ah.. Well, I guess that's all for me tonight.. Now to get home and finally get a night to myself."
Meanwhile in the school, some students were in the hallway either getting their selves ready to enter into the gym where the prom is held, others just waiting, and some others, with their dates in hand, were making out on the side of lockers. The XJS did what they can to just get through and ignore the oddity of the hallway, but XJ6 couldn't help but feel more squimish at the site and thoughts of wishing she had a date right now.
Sheldon : "gosh um, say Jenny, you mind if we get something from my locker real quick? I think I should maybe slick my hair a bit and-"
Jenny : "oh. Don't worry Sheldon, you look very handsome as is. You don't need right now."
Sheldon blushed at his noticeably failed attempt, but Jenny giggled and whispered : "but maybe after we dance a bit, we can get to my locker, I would need to re-oil some joints."
Sheldon blushed more harder at how Jenny was more better in this "game" then he was. But, of course responded back stumblingly saying : "s-sure! Like yeah we'll do that."
They just reached the door to the gym finally, as they could hear inside the blasted bears of some pop music playing, and flashing lights though the doors glass.
Jenny : "hehe. Great. Now, {breaths in and then out} let's have fun guys."
They opened through the door and the music curtailed through, making the beats register to the XJs audio receptors, getting them in the melody's mood, already getting their teenaged minds ready to party. The music wasn't too loud thg they couldn't hear each other but to XJ7 it was quite too loud for her comfort.
XJ4 :" wooow, this place. Is. So... "
XJ7 covering her ear spots: "loud! I can barely even hear you!" she then tuned and turned a knob on one of her antennas to Lower the volume of the whole place "ah.. Better."
XJ4 : "I was going to say, so messy! There's confetti and balloons everywhere!"
Indeed the place was a mess, but more so it was incredibly packed! The prom was filled with many students along with their dates and partners, and even small pockets of groups of students who either seemingly didn't have a date or just was spending time with fellow friends. Either way, they were XJ6's and 5's designations to go and try to mingle with others.
Jenny : "don't worry more so about the mess XJ4, for now just have fun and get somewhere to find a Grove and dance a bit. Cmon Sheldon, let's boogy!"
Jenny dragged Sheldon by the hand towards the middle of the gym with the crowd. The other XJs seemingly weren't sure what to do on their own, but XJ6 figured she might as well just enjoy a little dance close to one of the group of cute boys she's been eyeing for a bit. Hoping maybe, dancing will catch their attention and they'll ask to dance her.
XJ5 followed but went up to a different group of students, seemingly ones paired with their dates already. They were having a conversation until XJ5 popped up between them
XJ5 : "Hey guys! I think some of you may know me but I believe you fellas have some really interesting-" and then on she went to converse with this group of sorry saps.
Meanwhile with XJ4 and XJ7, XJ4 brought XJ7 to a more lonely corner if the gym, one not so crowded and loud so that she can have a more comfortable spot for XJ7 to Dance with.
XJ4 :" okay! So, I would like you to start by showing me, how we can square dance!"
XJ7 : "um, OK I'll try, but this music isn't really fitting to it.. It's too... Cool, for square dancing."
XJ4 : "pffft, so whatever, so song is too circly for a square dance."
XJ4 then tried to wave her hips with XJ7 to start it out, as XJ7 tried to give directions on how to do it, at first it was awkward but they managed to actually start grooving and moving to the beat of the music to which they didn't look so bad.
XJ7 :" Hey what do you know, I actually am pretty good at square dancing!"
XJ4 on the other hand was haveing way too much fun spinning in a a circle with XJ7 : "weeee! Yay were doing it! We're like a merry go round!"
XJ7 smiled for once of her while, mainly to see at how happy her sister was because of her, she felt a rare feeling of proudness to be making her beloved sister laugh and dance.
XJ7 thought to herself :" maybe tonight will be my best night ever then, Mm."
They continued to dance on the beats and with different patterns and moves they even got a small crowd of onlookers watching them danced, amused at awe for how sweet they actually looked together.
XJ8 mean while sorta walked around a bit, looking like a security guard or bouncer checking to see if any mis-haps were going on in the vacinity. She didn't really have any instructions of how to have "fun" in a prom, but found that keeping an eye on everyone was more to her amusement, like as she spotted some people at the food table near the fruit punch, she noticed someone almost about to spike the drinks.
Guy 1 : "Hey dude, check what I got."
Guy 2 : "no way, is that-?"
Just before he finished, XJ8 stomped towards the two and they looked up to see a intimidating robot in a tuxedo, looking like it's going to shoot lasers out of its eyes and blast them to smitherians.
XJ8 then plucked the small packet from the first guy's hand and analyzed it.
XJ8 : "scanning..." after scanning she found that inside the bag was actually just a different fruit pack powder, used to add different flavor to drink. "What is this for?"
Guy 1 : "I-I was just going to use it on my drink! I swear! The school always has lame flavors for their punch, so I brought that incase I needed to spice it up a little!"
Guy : "yeah! P-pleawe, don't vaporize us, bodyguard sir!"
XJ8 seeing that the substance was safe, and that she sorta was causing a scare In the scene, she gave back the powder and in a stern voice and look said : "hmm, eboy your punch, but don't spike the bowl."
She then stomped off to somewhere else, to see if any other trouble exists elsewhere.
Jenny and Sheldon meanwhile were having blast, dancing together in their groove of the music, and even though Sheldon's dancing was most awkward kind of dance anyone can see, it still showed how he was having the best time of anyone there. The music from where they were was possibly close to loudest, so they had to shout in order to communicate.
Sheldon : "say Jenny, where is Brad anyway? I expected to have seen him here by now with melody!"
Jenny : "he told me that he and melody would be late, said that they had to handle some personal stuff..like, some 'adult stuff', you know?"
Sheldon : "oh-OH! So like-?"
Jenny : "doing some taxes and finding a place to live in when going to college I mean."
Sheldon looked a bit confused at that statement, but he figured maybe Jenny just didn't know what Brad was insinuating as possibly sarcasm.
Sheldon : "well. I hope soon they get here before the slow music begins, since that's when the prom kind and queen votes will start!"
Jenny : "right! Well, I hope so they get here on time for us all to dance together at least! I want us and my sisters to dance together at least to one good song!"
They continued to dance as everyone was enjoying their time with the selections of musics being played, and XJ6 herself was enjoying the beats, though seemingly by herself and no luck so far with any boys coming up to ask for company.
XJ6 non the less kept trying with different angles and moves, and even trying to get closer to a group of talking boys, but they ignored her and kept talking to each other.
XJ6 : "agh, what does it take for a lonely girl to get a boys attention for around here?!" she thought to herself. "maybe I gotta try a sure way of getting them to atleast look at me.."
She then tried dancing backwards towards this crowd of boys, ones who looked like jocks or possible studs that XJ6 would hope maybe they're open.
Suddenly, XJ6 stumbled a bit too far though and accidently tripped on her back leg and fell back towards one of the guys, making him trip a bit forward but not fall over.
XJ6 just yelped and said : "cripes!" as she fell.
She already could feel a shaming embarrassment about to happen, that the one she bumped would be angry at her or maybe worse, ignore her still!
XJ6 : "ahh.. Damn.. I'm so sorry! I must have tripped on a small crack and-{looks up at guy she bumped into.. Uhh.." just as she looked up, she couldn't believe of all the people she bumped into.
Standing before her was no other then Don Prima himself! Standing as like a white knight in XJ6's eye and she almost couldn't blink at his sight, worrying it would make him disappear somehow, but non the less it was him, tall and handsome as everyday he is.
Don prima : "oh my, well you certainly took a nasty fall, here {lends a hand} let me help you up."
XJ6 could only nervously quiver her thin lined lips in this scene presented at her, not only she stumbled on her biggest crush but now, he's letting her touch his hand to help her up. It's like this is only a dream and at this moment she'll wake up from it and the moment will pop out.
XJ6 : "I.. I..."she couldn't say anything, but, with a quick breath in, she regained her composure, and remembered her personal training for this moment," ahem, why, hello there, it's very gentlemen like of you {places her hand gently on his, and he lifts her up easily, mostly due to her lifting herself up with her legs} my you're strong, heh heh heh."
she remembered how in dating magazines, boys like to be told how strong they are, indeed she could see prima Donna is a strong lad, but obviously, she had 1000 times the strength of him.
Don prima :" why, thank you. Say, I think I know you. "
XJ6 :" oh? Wow you do!" she said with a glimpse of exctiment and then regained her calm and repeated to say : "I mean, mmm you do?" with a small smug smirk look on her face.
Don prima : "yes, you're quite easy to spot and remember, you're in my um..."
XJ6 : "gym class?"
Don prima : "that's right, yasss. You got quite the arm there from what I remember, you're quite good at playing volleyball even better then, oh, your blue sister."
XJ6 : "wow wow wow! {blushes hard} you, you think I'm better then a Jenny? That's... Wow, I don't think I've heard this from anyone, ever! Heh, well yes, I do say so myself I'm better at that game then Jenny, {leans back and looks at her nails} I can even recount how I beat her personally in a couple of games. Hmph" she said so with pride in her tone.
Don primma : "indeed.. But I was referring to the more um.. 'lumpy' one then Jenny though."
XJ6's smile immidietly Broke and faded, shattering her personal moment of gloating glory
XJ6 : "oh.. Um.. You mean XJ7?"
Don prima : "um, sure let's call her that then. But, I do belive also I've seen you go up against Jenny once or twice, though, it's hard to pay attention when I'm busy making my team win all the time."
XJ6 : "oh! So, you do mean that I'm better at Jenny in something, right?" she said with a glimmer of hope in her smile and eye.
Don primma just shrugged and said : "yeah, sure babe."
That comment made XJ6 just about blush hard and almost faint, or atleast pretend to faint, as hearing those words confirming her own crush saying how "better" or cool she is, is on her que of knowing when that means, he might have some interest in her as a "dance partner" , but to test out a confirmation, she leaned and fell backwards towards Don primma.
As she fell. She made sure her back leg would catch her, at just the right moment for Don to catch her in his arms. And... It surprisingly worked! Don placed a hand behind XJ6 just before she fell and grabbed her hand as well.
Don primma : "woah there babe, don't want you falling twice already."
XJ6 : "oh haha, clumsy me, heh. Oh but you're soo strong and brave to catch me so quick, thanks, Don Prima."
Don then "lifted" her back up on her feet and held her hand firmly with both his hands.
Don prima : "oh please darling. You can call me, Donatello."
XJ6's smile just got much more wider, along with her blush glowing to like a warm lamp glow. her night just got waaay more exciting she though, and hopefully for her, more inticing and close to Don.
As XJ6 continued chatting with her now recent "prom date", XJ7 and XJ4 were still dancing the night off, more so to one's enjoyment now though, as thr latter was getting dizzy over the oncoming audience of theirs.
XJ7 : "ugh.. I'm not feeling so well now."
XJ4 then stopped and looked at her dancing partner, seeing now she's looking a bit "pale"
XJ4 : "oh dear, what's wrong? Servos need oiling?"
XJ7 : "um, no.. Just.. Eh, I think I need fresh air"
XJ4 then looked around and saw what she meant : "oh, oh! I see, it is getting kinda stuffy here, ok we'll take it outside now. Let's go."
XJ4 took XJ7s hand and passed though the crowd.
XJ4 : "excuse me, pardon me, out of the way, make way for some robots." She said as passing through.
Eventually they finally made their out the gym and into the hallways.
XJ4 : "there, better?"
XJ7 looked around with a more relived look on her face.
XJ7 : "yeah.. Phew, better. Eh, I'm sorry.. Just I didn't like all those faces looking at us and-"
XJ4 then giggled at that remark : "hehe, oh don't worry, I understand. I esd having a bit of the same feeling too. Say how about we go outside the school a bit, catch some cool air into our cooling vents for a bit before we go back in?"
XJ7 : "yeah, I'd quite like that, thank you."
They stepped out from the school to the back where the football field was. It was empty and quiet, a perfect spot for XJ7 in her opinion.
They went to the middle of the field and sat down together, and let out a deep breath.
XJ4 and XJ7 :" {breaths in, breaths out} ahh."
XJ4 : "that feels nice. Heh. You don't know how hot it is to be in a room full of partying students till you get outside."
XJ7 : "that's true, Mm..{stares up at the stars} Can we stay here a while? I'd like if we just took a small break and recharge. Besides, it's um… A beautiful night here."
XJ4 smiled and winked : "couldn't have agreed more, let lay down."
They both laid their bodies down in the slightly wet and cold grass of the football field, they wish they brought some sort of blanket for the ground, but didn't mind either way. They just stared up at the sky together and observed the stars together.
XJ7 couldn't help but give a small smile at it. Relaxing, and being with her sister. She liked to just be quiet a while, but knew eventually, XJ4 would want to start talking.
XJ4 : "oh, hey, do you see that star?"
XJ7 : "huh?"
XJ4 : "just look where I'm pointing."
XJ7 tried to see the star she was pointing at.
XJ7 : "um.. Yeah I see?"
XJ4 : "you remember what that star is?"
XJ7: "um.. No, why?"
XJ4 : "that's the chara nebula star! We learned about it in science class, remember?"
XJ7 : "oh…ok? What about it?"
XJ4 : "well.. Just wanted to see if you remembered.. Since that's also close to cluster prime is too."
This was a subject the XJs don't talk often about, cluster prime, primarily because they don't want their mother or anyone catching talking about it, and the possibility of going there.
XJ7 :" hm.. Right, you still wonder what it's like there?
XJ4 : "of course! I mean.. Jenny said a lot about it, how it a lot like here, but full of robots! Living a normal life like people here but.. Well.. You know.. Robots!"
XJ7 : "uh-huh.. Well you know, they may not be as nice though as you'd think, since they're-"
XJ4 : "Vexus isn't ruler of that place anymore. You know that."
XJ7 : "right.. But, still.. They might have a bad sentiment on us."
XJ4 :"why do you think that? What would they have against us?"
XJ7 : "hm.. I don't know, maybe I'm just being stupid.."
XJ4 : "oh come on, tell me."
XJ7 : "well.. We're technically earthlings, not anything part of cluster. To them we're outsiders, what if they'd treat us like 'earth trash' or something terrible, regardless of being robots like them, we're lower like trash."
XJ4 though about it, she knew XJ7 was a pessimist but to that extent made XJ4 a bit worried on sharing more on her hopes with cluster prime.
XJ4 :" well.. Okay I see. Just, I hope you'll see as I do, maybe one day we can go there, like as a family vacation! That's what I want.."
XJ7 : "mother wouldn't approve…"
XJ4 : "nah. I mean maybe when we graduate from high school, we'd technically be adults and on our own, we'll decide what's good for us or not."
XJ7: "oh.. On our own… Right."
XJ4 : "yep.. And I think you and me can do a lot of great things together. Like.. Well, i don't know yet but something!"
XJ7 : "heh, yeah OK.. Well.. I hope too actually.."
They laid in silence for a bit, just staring at the sky more. XJ4 herself just imagined more about cluster prime now that it's on her mind, while XJ7 had in her mind about her and XJ4 living life together. They thought of their fantasy together while also deciding now to just count the stars.
XJ4 : "I count… About 346 stars"
XJ7 : "hmm… I don't know, I think there's only 286."
XJ4 :"no no, look, I'll count for you. 1, 2, 3, 4…"
Meanwhile, XJ8 continued to scout around the blasting music and keeping her guard up. She saw on her sight the next possible sign of trouble. Her sister, XJ6, chatting with Don Prima. She took scan of them both, seeing elevated levels of 'hormones' risen with Don but for XJ6, her optics of blush said it all how she was having a sort of rise too.
XJ8 considered options, of either intervening or not. She worried about the later consequences of letting XJ6 get played around by Don by that, he is known to be a "womanizer" and occurent cheater. As well as on Jenny's account a big selfish jerk. But then again then, XJ6 finds attraction to him, and seemingly this is the only or of few times a boy has ever put the moves on XJ6, she might never get a chance or enjoy a moment like it again. She didn't want her sisters mood or enjoyment ruined, but either option would lead to it, one with XJ8 herself to blame.
XJ8 took a step forward, but realized, maybe still she shouldn't handle this alone, maybe better yet is to ask Jenny on this.
She spotted Jenny dancing with Sheldon still, they both enjoying her time. For a brief moment she was considering the repercussions of now bothering Jenny and her night with Sheldon on informing them of the predicament, but saw no other better option then with her.
She walked towards them, as gently as possible, though, that didn't make her stomps less apparent.
As Jenny and Sheldon danced, and were getting closer and closer with their dancing, closer enough to kiss, XJ8's stomps became known to them, as they had a look of sudden shock and turned their heads towards XJ8, where the was trying to tip toe around the other dancers in the floor.
XJ8 : "um, sister, I think we may have a problem."
Jenny : "ah, what is it? Are the space bikers here to ruin another dance of mine?." Jenny said with a annoyed anger at her face, and her punching her fist to her palm which made Sheldon gulp in remembering that night all to well.
XJ8 : "no, possibly worse.. XJ6 is uh… {points at XJ6 asking to Don} "
Just as she pointed, she noticed Don was getting much more closer to XJ6, too close even, carassing and rubbing on XJ6s waist level.
Jenny's eyes turned to a image of a time bomb ready to go off, knowing how Don might just ruin her sisters night too easily for her.
Jenny : "oh no he doesn't! Come on!"
Jenny grabs both Sheldon's and XJ8 hand towards XJ6, who was just leaning in closer to Don every secound
XJ6 : "so uh.. Just wondering, ahem, you, ever danced with a robot before?"
Don prima : "can't say I have but, tonight can be a first for many things for us I belive."
XJ6 : "reaallly now? Well.. How about.. We start off those things with.. A little… {leans in towards his face, with a nervous smile and blush} dance?.."
Jenny then got in between the two and seperated the two with a giant ruler gadget, getting them to be 4 feet apart.
Jenny :" ok Don Prima, that's enough fooling around with my sister!"
XJ6 :" what the-… Hey! What's the big idea Jenny?! "
Don prima : "Hey cool your jets Jennifer, we were just going to try and enjoy a dance together." He said with a cool, smug attitude.
Jenny : "oh really? Because it looked like you were going to do more then just enjoy a dance with her! You're just out to break her heart."
XJ6 : "what?! Jenny are you serious!?"
Jenny then focused her attention to XJ6, who she saw was fuming.
Jenny : "I am, totally, serious. XJ6, I told you, Don prima is a big jerk, trust me I almost fell for him once or twice, but know he's bad news to anyone who dates him. He's just looking to fool around with you."
XJ6 : "oh, so like how he fooled you around by having fun with you? Or by trying to show a good time? Oh please Jenny, I can see that for once you're just jealous that I am getting more closer to Don then you ever did."
Sheldon just looked a bit like he had a stroke hearing that, a bit puzzled from that line.
Sheldon :" um.. Well they weren't really that close together. Heh heh heh… Um… Right Jenny? "
Jenny just ignored Sheldon and continued to respond directly to XJ6.
Jenny :" j-jealous?! Me? Seriously? Why would I be jealous? I'm just looking out for you. "
XJ6 :" yeah, looking out that I don't have fun on my own tonight. Why can't I just decide for myself if I wanted to dance with him or not, he hasn't done anything wrong to me. In fact {hugs towards him and has her arm around his waist} I'm looking to having more fun with him tonight then with you. "
Jenny just face palmed her on head at how shameful her sister is being right now.
Jenny :" really? "
XJ6 :" yes really! I find myself a date on prom who happens to be Don Prima, and you can't just let me have this night. This is my special night too, you get to have your date, well, I want to enjoy mine. So if you're done acting like our mother, then leave me be. "
Jenny herself wanted to scream back at XJ6, but, she knew better.. She didn't want to ruin XJ6s night herself, like their own mother would do, but also didn't want Don to break her heart.
Jenny :" you know what? Fine! If you want Don to play with you, then I'll let you do what you want.. And you! {point at Doni if you so much as break her heart or even think about ruining her night, I'll-"
XJ6 : "yeah yeah whatever Jenny, {pushes her aside} how about you just give me and Don some room, I belive our song is about to come on."
Indeed a new song was playing, a more disco funk kind of music that wasnt even really XJ6s type of music, but, she was going to take it anyway. She took Don by the hand towards the crowd they both melded into it, out of Jenny's sight.
Jenny now was furious, but incredibly upset too. She didn't know if she wanted to cry at this moment or just scream.
Jenny : "agh! Great! Now I'm like mother and I probably made XJ6 think Im a buzz kill.. This isn't how I wanted the night to go.."
Sheldon : "oh come on jenny, we can't give up. We just gotta stick close to then and make sure no funny business is played too far!"
Jenny : "are you suggesting we just spy on my sister and try to again ruin her night?"
XJ8 : "it's for the best to make sure XJ6 doesn't fall completely for Don prima, she's naive and doesn't know that he can probably easily dump her for someone new to his own wishes."
Sheldon : "exactly! We can't let a big jerk like him ruin everything."
Jenny : "but.. I can't.. I can't spy on my own sister {tears up a bit} she'll never forgive me.. And she's right, maybe I should just let her be.. Maybe then she'll learn on her own how much of a jerk Don is! Wah!" Jenny then ran towards the exit of the door, teary eyed about this whole thing.
Sheldon chased after Jenny :" jenny wait! "
XJ8 just stood and didn't know what to do. She felt she was to completely blame on this. She ruined Jenny's night and now probably soon XJ6s night is ruined.
XJ8 : "sigh.. Mission failed…" she let her head down in disappointment of herself.
Just then, Brad came up to and patted XJ8 on the arm. Next to him was his date Melody.
Brad : "um, hi XJ8, what's wrong? And where Jenny? I've been looking for her around here. Sorry we're late by the way."
XJ8 then explained to Brad all that had transpired. Brad and melody were a bit stunned and stuffed at the descriptions, but Melody felt like she understood exactly what happened.
Melody : "oh my.. I think I know where XJ6 is coming from, she's looking to find or prove she's capable of what Jenny is doing… If not better."
Brad : "well.. From my time with Jenny, she's never had much luck with finding dates, in fact it's mostly lucky if she finds a guy to say yes to a date with her. I think XJ6 might be overreacting to it, she's not been in school that long yet."
XJ8 : "percisouly, but calculatingly, Jenny has had more dates at this point then XJ6 has in same time. I think she's just happy to finally have a boy to talk to, especially the most popular one, which will bring her popularity up."
Brad : "yeah,maybe it will, and probably end her up in being a butt of a joke sooner or later with him. We can't let him get too close to her!"
Melody : "then, what do you suggest?"
Brad : "I say, we do what Jenny would've wanted to do. Keep close to Don and XJ6, and then if they get too close, we uh.."
Melody had a look of disappointment from what she figured he was suggesting.
Melody : "ruin her chances and night with her date?"
Brad : "I know it sounds bad! But.. What's worse, having your date with a jerk ruined, or have the jerk ruin your school year in one date?"
Melody crossed her arms and rolled her eyes on hearing this. This reminded her of when Jenny would want to do same with her and Brad, but, Brad had a point, and so did Jenny.
Melody :" agh.. As much as I'd hate to participate in this, you're right. We can't let XJ6's night be ruined.. I just hope this doesn't sour our relationship as friends with her still."
Brad : "don't worry {wink} I think she'll understand in time. XJ8, in the mean time, you can uh.."
XJ8 : "I'll continue my objective and keep watch of things.. Speaking of which…" XJ8 then looked around the gym again with a quick head turn around, and noticed something missing. "my sisters XJ7 and XJ4 are missing, I must look for them then."
She then turned on her radar gadget and began to try and track down where they were located at.
Brad and melody on other hand, went to look for where XJ6 and Don might be in the huge crowd of dancing teens.
While with XJ4 and XJ7, they continued to count the stars together.
XJ4 : "299, 300, 301…um..actually I think that's all."
XJ7 : "huh.. So we're both idiots and got it wrong?"
They both then laughed and snickered at this revelation
XJ4 : "I guess so. Well.. Either way atleast we both learned something."
XJ7 : "yeah.. Um.. I'm.."
XJ4 then leaned in, and noticed XJ7 was blushing a bit.
XJ4 : "oh?"
XJ7 : "I'm.. Hm.. You wanted to find a boy to the dance too, didnt you?"
XJ4 : "oh, well.. Kinda yes. I wouldn't have minded, but.. I don't think Brandon from my class would actually have said yes to me.."
XJ7 : "oh, sorry.. Hm.."
XJ4 : "besides, I think he wouldn't be into a robot like me.."
XJ7 : "oh, how so?. You're beautiful and pretty as can be."
XJ4 : "even more then XJ6?" XJ4 teased with a smirk.
XJ7 : "umm. Don't tell her I said that."
XJ4 : "hehe, I promise I won't."
XJ7 : "phew OK.."
XJ4 : "but, thanks.. I mean though, like.. I have 4 arms, I rub on a wheel, and I have a bucket for a head. I mean like he wouldn't be into dating me, anyway."
XJ4 : "right right… Eh.."
XJ4 : "I guess you feel same way about, a boy in your class not wanting you?"
XJ7: "no… Actually.. It's something else..other then my terrible body I don't think any guy would like."
XJ4 felt a bit appauld to hear her sister insult her own body like that. She then patted on XJ7s head.
XJ4 : "oh sis, don't say such bad things about yourself like this. Your body is very precious and unique, and cuddly {gently hugs} no boy wouldn't mind a hug from you."
XJ7 blushed at the hugging and closed her eyes gently, and let out a breath: "sigh… I.. I don't have any desire to be with a boy.."
XJ4s eyes opened suddenly at hearing this : "um.. Pardon?"
XJ7 then leaned back from the hug and looked at her sister with a serious look. One she doesn't give often, especially to precious XJ4.
XJ7 : "Im not into guys.. I'm.. I'm.."
XJ4 then placed her finger on XJ7s mouth
XJ4 : "I think I understand what you mean."
XJ7 then started to tear up and had a more distinguished sorrow look on her.
XJ7 : "I know.. I'm a freak who won't ever find love i fear.. I think when I see other girls in my class, how they're lucky to have the relationships that have, but for me, I know that I won't have anything like that.. The chances of me finding it are already slim for obvious reasons.. When I came to accept myself as who felt I was, I.. I just gave up hope in finding that spark in anywhere.. I doubt anyone in this school feels that sentiment as well and especially wouldn't want to waste it on me!. I'm a waste of space and scrap metal that no one will love.. "
XJ7 began to cry lightly..not wanting to over cry to make her sister feel too sorry for her, but already XJ4 began to tear up on hearing this.
XJ4 :" oh.. XJ7..why would you think this way on yourself?.. That no one will love you?.. Sis.. {holds XJ7s hands and lifts XJ7s chin to make her look at her} I love you.. Our sisters and I belive especially me love you with all our hearts. We always have and will, the love you wish to have, it's here with us, right now even.."
XJ7 :" r-really?.. But.. It's not same as what I mean though.. It's just, family love. "
XJ4 :" yes.. You can say that.. But to me, I mean.. It's like 'bestie love', you know? "
XJ7 eye opens up a bit more
XJ4 :" you mean… You consider me, your best friend? Really?. "
XJ4 :" of course! I always hang with you and enjoy the best times of class and home with you. We've always been besties as far as I know. I love you, as my bestie sister!"
XJ7 : "I love you as my best sister also! My goodness I.. I.. {hugs tightly to XJ4} I don't know what else to say.."
XJ4 hugs back tightly too : "just know.. You're not alone, I know how you feel as I'm always with you.. {holds hands} I want us to be by each others side always."
The moment they were sharing was one that rushed their hearts, of which joy and caring for another reached a new level possibly.
XJ7 :" I.. I.."
Then they heard the stomping, the stomping of only one could make.
XJ4 :" oh, well-"
XJ7 :" here comes something to ruin our moment." She said with a frown.
XJ8 then stomped up to them, and when she reached them she looked up from her gadget.
XJ8 :"Oh! There you two are. I've been worried if you were in trouble."
XJ4 : "um, in trouble from what?"
XJ8 then stood and looked at her sisters in ain expression : "… From something? Look, I prefer if I could keep an eye on you. So, can you come back inside now, sisters?"
XJ7 and XJ4 looked a t each other, stood up and shrugged at the idea of going back into the stuffy and packed gym. But, XJ4 with energy said : "yes! It's time we continue our dancing together sis!"
XJ7 rolled his eyes : "oh boy.. Okaay fine, let's go 'boogey' some more."
XJ4 : "and! {checks time in her watch gadget} it's about time for the slow dance to take place! We gotta get ready for it!"
XJ7 had a worried look on her face and got a bit nervous : "but, I don't know how to slow dance!.."
XJ4 then took and held XJ7s hand : "then, we' learn together, bestie {wink} "
XJ7 : "o-okay. Ahem. Well, then what are we waiting for?"
XJ4 with a smile dragged XJ7 back into the school, and XJ8 followed suit with them.
XJ8 : "well, atleast they're happy tonight.. I hope Jenny's doing alright.."
Meanwhile with Jenny, she was still teary eyed as she walked down the hallway in her beautful dress, she didn't sob or felt upset enough to cry, just that she didn't wipe her eyes yet.
Not too far back Sheldon jogged towards Jenny : "Jenny wait!"
Jenny : "agh.. Sheldon, I just need some time alone..I need to think."
Sheldon : "well I don't think you need to think alone though.. Maybe we can talk it out a bit? Maybe outside too if you need the fresh air?"
Jenny : "no no.. Just.. Eh. {lays he back against a locker} I.. I don't want this night to be ruined by anyone! Not by the some alien invasion, not by the crust cousins, which in surprised have kept to them selves so far.. And.. Certainly not by letting Don brak my heart.. But I know if I try to do something to stop it, XJ6 will only see me as if like mom was to me or like I'm only holding her back. I don't want to be like that but.. "
Sheldon took a moment to pause before saying :" but you care for her and will do anything to keep her safe, especially her heart.. " he then wiped the tears off Jenny for her with his hand.
Jenny :" yes.. I guess you already know how that feels yourself, yeah? "
Sheldon blushed and remembered the times when he got jealous or tried to sabatoge Jenny's dates with bad guys.
Sheldon :" yeah, heh, yeah.. But, you later found out those guys were bad on your own. Without me or anyone you learned from good people to date and from bad.. Like that um.. Travis guy?"
Jenny : "heh, you mean the guy who was afraid of machines? Well.. I guess.. He wasn't a bad guy, but he was just afraid of machines, it was doomed to not work..why do you bring him up?"
Sheldon : "well.. You never heard from me an objection of dating him.. Sure I was worried, jealous, and {gulp} anxious, about losing my chance to date you over him, but I knew atleast he wasn't only out to use you or harm you ever.. Not like.. Well.. Those other jerks. "
Jenny :" ugh, yeah.. Hm. I wonder still what ever happened the silver shell, he sorts just, disappeared from town and anywhere. "
Sheldon :" hehe, yeah.. Um, I think maybe he's just on vacation then, maybe off to a different planet? "
Jenny :" hah, yeah maybe. Well, I think good riddance I say. I'm glad I got to see how he was a jerk and I got to end up with you anyway {carasses Sheldon's cheek} though {stops carassing} if he does show up, and any of my sisters fall for him, I'll have to express to him how he better watch himself, I won't be as gentle to him as I would to a human. {makes a fist} "
Sheldon just gulped some more and nervously laughed :" heh heh heh, um yeah. Well, I think there won't be that trouble, not at all. So, maybe just forget about him, yeah? "
Jenny :" right.. We should focus on Don.. I.. I don't know what to do with him.. I can't just ruin my sisters own date with him.."
Sheldon :" well.. Maybe you don't have to? "
Jenny :" what do you mean? "
Sheldon :" well.. Your sister may have had a point, this is her decision."
Jenny then gave an angry look at Sheldon for saying that.
Jenny :" you suggesting I let Don break her heart on prom night?"
Sheldon :" I-I-I didn't say that! I mean like.. She's your sister, your predecessor prototype! She in a way has an embodiment of you or that you have one of her, I think in her program that's in you, this is sorta.. The process of how she learns to cope with traits. I mean.. XJ6 was designed to be sorts like the main teenage stage of your design, yes? "
Jenny :" I guess?.. But, so are my others sisters"
Sheldon : "right! But, she's more of the one that, might actually want to go through this.. A rough stage of her assignment that is, dealing with relationships. You were able to learn from those bad dares, including with Don prima, that they were bad and so you avoided any more such dates like his from then on. This in a way, is a learning experience for her, she never been on a date before, and so theoretically, she should be able to handle the date as well as you did when it went bad with prima. "
Jenny :" You mean.. Like when he got more concerned over his shoes then me, i just simply got angry with him and dumped him on the spot?"
Sheldon :" exactly! So, it's likely that once Don inevitably shows his true colors-"
Jenny :" XJ6 will just get over it and move on?..i don't know. She's more sensitive then me, I think, she'll probably get a different reaction.. I worry she'll be heart broken.."
Sheldon :" well if she is, thats a pretty quick for someone to be heartbroken on a first date with someone."
Jenny :" that someone is Don prima, most popular guy in school.. I think her having a bad first date with him will hurt her self esteem in finding anyone else in school to date.. "
Sheldon :" but still.. You gotta let her learn on her own about dating, and the possible consequences of a break up. I mean.. I don't think even for them it's official yet to say it to be a break up if it's just one bad date.. "
Jenny :" so…just..i shouldn't push on and I should let be that happen, happen? "
Sheldon :" I guess so. Worst case scenario, XJ6 is torn up and her night is somewhat ruined, but you and the others will comfort her and probably help her back up.. And best case.. Um.. Speaking of which, what if their dance goes well? "
Jenny :" oh..you mean if Don isn't a jerk for once? "
Sheldon :" maybe, but.. What if also they go on dating? And then what if they.. You know.. "
The thought wrecked into her mind, the idea of :" kissing?! "Jenny said" well… It would be I guess any new girls biggest dream to kiss the most popular boy in school, but with Don?! Ew..eh..ok ok, I won't interrupt or ruin her night.. But I do need to talk to her still, set straight that, I hope for the best she can handle him on her own if worst comes to worst.
Sheldon : "right, we'll do that. So… Go back in now?"
Jenny looked around the hallway to see if anyone else was around. Side to side, it was empty. Jenny then grabbed Sheldon by his collar and pulled him in to kiss him deeply on the lips, to his ever pleasure but unexpected.
Sheldon :" {makes muffled noises but then goes with kissing back} "
They kisses for a whole until Jenny pulled him back to give him air to breath.
Jenny : "ah.. I think maybe the dance can wait a bit, how about we get to my locker, and do some oiling of my joints together, like I promised?"
Sheldon blushed madly, and almost had a nose bleed at this proposal.
Sheldon : "ahem, ah ah yes! Absoloutly! Mm after you, Jennifer."
Jenny : "ohh I love it when you call me that. {kisses more} come on, my joints won't oil themselves either. {picks him up and carry him away} ."
While then they're busy on personal matters, Brad and melody finally spot Don dancing with XJ6. Don danced as a casual pro dancer would to the music playing, while XJ6 had no idea what she was doing either. It looked at some angel pretty silly, but, no one cared. Everyone danced with their groove and fun.
Don : "say you're not a bad dancer."
XJ6 : "heh, wow really? Phew, that's great to hear, I only learned how to dance like 4 hours ago!"
Don : "haha, oh really? I couldn't tell.."
XJ6 : "heh. Yeah.. Well.. I might do better if you-" just as she was about to ask, Don then grabbed XJ6 by the waist and moved her along to his own rythem of the dance. "woah!" she yelped as soon as he grabbed her.
XJ6 tried to keep up with his dances, all of it unfamiliar to her but she did eat she can with her 3 pincer legs.
XJ6 felt pretty happy at the moment still non the less, her head being close to Don's chest and having him hold her the way he did made her feel like a lady, a real lady. Something she imagined Jenny always wished to feel like, but now she herself got to with her date.
Other were looking at Don dancing with this robot, some spoke to themselves about what this was implying.
Random girl : "Hey, Don is dancing with that robot, isn't she like, one of Jenny's cousins or whatever?"
Random guy : "I think so, wow, she must be pretty cool to Don if he's dancing with her like this."
Random girl :"yeah, either that or.. You know?"
Random guy : "oh, I think I see. He's into robots?"
The girl then face palmed herself at her dates lack of awareness.
Brad and melody were close though, dancing together amongst the crowd, blending in.
Brad : "okay mel, so, you see them?"
Melody : "yeah I do."
Brad : "OK, great, I got a plan, if they start getting too close, then you'll can spray them with.. Some kind of liquid."
Melody : "what? Ew! You mean like spit?"
Brad : "yes! No, I mean.. I don't know don't you have a oil slick gadget or something to maybe ruin on Don primas shoes or something? Like last time with Jenny, he sorta just freaked out at it, XJ6 will see how much of a snob he is in person, and will instantly reject him on the spot. " Brad said all this like it was a grand plan finally illustrated, though it really wasn't.
Melody :" really? That's your plan? It seems so... Simple. What if this doesn't go right? "
Brad :" then we improvise a plan B, of course."
Melody :" which is? " she said one eye brow raised.
Brad : "Hey one step a time babe. For now, let's just-"
Then suddenly the upbeat music stopped, and the announcer on the stand came on board to pick up the microphone, it was principle Razinski.
Razinski : "alright students! It's 9:00 now! Which you all know, means we start tally and pick out the slooow songs for you kids to enjoy with a special someone. By the end of the hour, we'll pick the lucky Prom King and Prom queen to be in the special spot of the school's memorial year book! So, dance with most elegance, and class, and most importantly, dance like you're on the stars at night, which is our next song coming up. "
He then put the microphone back and the song started, a soothing romantic slow song that elevated XJ6s excitement and giddyness up to 12.
XJ6 :" ah! Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! Donny, honey, we.. We can become this years prom king and queen, yes?"
Don just smiled and rolled his eye to another direction : "sure babe, with your beauty and my charm, we'll dance like the night is ours alone."
XJ6 couldn't help but give Quiet : "eeeee" of a squeal, but gave a quick cough and returned her cool. " I mean, ahem, exactly. Come on sugar {wraps arm around dons shoulder} show me how smooth you can be." she tried to say in the most mature and sexy voice she could muster, which might have been not much.
They started to slow dance together, indeed this was almost everything XJ6 ever dreamed of. Dancing with a hunk like don was missing one thing, a kiss. She knew the right moment must be just before the song ended. She did what she can to keep her romantic poker face on while she saw Don had no problem doing so, like a true professional.
XJ6 simply leaned in closer and closer through out the dance, letting her head rest on dons chest and following his steps in the dance. Her 3 legs had absolute control of the dance floor. Her quick training was paying off quite well.
Brad and Mel on the other hand were dancing together as well, and keeping an eye still on what was going on.
Brad : "okay, I have a feeling XJ6 will try to kiss Don by the end of the song, that's when we gotta act!"
Melody : "right.. {turns her finger into a squirt gun} I hope this plan works."
Just as the song continued, almost timing part with the ending bit of it, XJ6 in her mind flourished with how she should approach Don a the moment, but, she only went with quick instinct instead of calculative thoughts. This was no time to be smart, instead, XJ6 looked at Don with her one eye and wide smile. Don looked back, not as smiling, but non the less handsome as can be.
The song was slowing down to an approach. "this is it!" XJ6 though. "now, is the time... Don't screw this up XJ6.."
She then leaned and approached her head towards his, her eye beggining to close and Don in reproach, descended his had to do the same. She could feel the buzz between them and his face radiating small molecules of romantic head on her screen.
Don was thinking it might be weird to kiss a television screen, but he had a upcoming plan anyway with this, so he proceeded with it anyway.
Just as before their lips could even match each other, a sudden squirt was shot out and, with ease, landed right on his shoe.
Don's sudden "shoe senses" activated and he leaned back to see his shoe, was now stained with a sudden bit of soda! Pink cream soda!
Don : "oh no!"
XJ6 then opened her eyes in sudden Ness, with her lips in a perched position for a little smooching but when alerted to see her dare in shock, she thought "well, this is it, this is where all my happiness dies. Wonderful..." she looked down and realized the problem.
XJ6 : "uh.. Babe?"
Don : "my shoe!.. I can't win prom king with my shoes this terrible! Agh... Was this from you?"
XJ6 then has a sudden shocked expression on her face of disbelief. Somehow, her date, is blaming her, for a soda stain on his leather shoes.
XJ6 : "excuuuse me?" she said, a little bit ticked off "why and where would I have soda on me? I don't even drink soda."
Don : "well it didn't just come out of the sky did it?"
XJ6 : "um.. Well maybe one of the students had it and-"
Don then breathed in then out : "nah you know what? forget it babe{shrugs} , it's almost nothing.. Sorry for acting as such. But I need to step out to gently shoes cleaned, but it be tough when-"
Just the XJ6s expression lightened up.
XJ6 : "oh! I got it! I know where my younger sister locker is, she is bound to have some cleaning soap for this particular stain! I'll be right back!"
XJ6 then left with a hurry to out the door to find XJ4s locker, even though she didn't know the combination, she was bound to find a way in to get back into a romantic night with her night, though, she was thrown off at how he reacted over his shoe.
" hmph" XJ6 though "he dare asks if it's my soda? What does he think I am a gross nerd? Whatever, I almost had his kiss! Just need another slow dance with him, then, I'll get my next shot!"
Brad and Mel looked at Don who was now lonely on the dance floor, they sorta giggled at how silly he indeed looked to see the most popular jerk stand alone surrounded by other romanticized students and their dates, a funny irony to observe.
Brad :"well, that certainly bought us time, but didn't work. He kept his cool, mostly, we almost had him!"
Melody : "yeah.. I think he's planning something though.."
Brad :"by the way, good call using soda instead of oil. I figured now, if it was oil, XJ6 would've been humiliated and blamed for it.. We would've done a worse job at saving her then just letting Don do...whatever."
Melody : "well, consider yourself lucky youre dating a smart, improvisingly hot robot lady. {she then leans in and kisses Brad on the lips} so, thanks for the compliment. Now, genius, what is plan 2?"
Brad taken back a bit by the kiss, though in a very positive way, scratched his chin in a mental manner. :" well... Wait, is that-? "
As Brad pointed at Don, out fro mthe crowd came no other, then the schools most notorious fashion bullys, Brit and Tiff.
Don wasn't surprised to see them, in fact, he looked pretty stoked.
Britt : "well well Don, it seems you had to lose your cool for one second over a small stain on your shoes?"
Tiff : "yeah man, you were this close to closing the deal with her!"
Brad couldn't hear what they were saying, but Melody could very easily with her adjusting audio receptors
Brad : "great, I can't hear them. What are they saying?"
Melody : "shh!"
Don : "well what can I say? If your shoes were as dirty, you'd lose focus too."
Tiff : "whatever dude, just remember the plan, win with her the prom monarch positions and then, hehehe, we humiliate her in front of everyone, with Jenny along to witness it, and Jenny will have to deal with very likely a overly dramatic sob queen everyday for rest of the school year, it'll make her sooo miserable! "
Melody could only gasp at what she heard.
Melody :" oh my, those... Those... Those dirty witches! "
Brad :" what? What is it? "
Melody put her finger on Brads mouth, which quieted him up as he tried to watch still from afar to guess what the conversation was about.
Britt : "exactly, since it's been harder to get to Jenny recently with her thick metal skin, getting to her sisters is a easy way at getting at her at, even at home. Nuahaha. It's lucky XJ6 bumped into you first, though I suspected that a twerp underling like her would come up with such a lame way to find a date on prom night. "
Tiff :" yeah, what loser asks during the prom for a date?! Only nerd and desperitos do such."
Britt :" speaking of which.. " Britt then did the most unexpecting thing yet also somehow expecting thing, she leaned in and kissed Don on the lips, deeply too even.
Brad could see this and his jaw dropped, with his wide expression her looked like a nutcracker doll. Melody herself also jaw dropped, actually looked like she was fuming.
Melody : "Agh! That dirty creepy... Rat faced-"
Brad : "I can't belive what I just saw... Did Britt just steal XJ6s date?"
Melody : "no! I think, I think Britt and Don were secretly dating already! This was all some kind of plot and plan so far to just humiliate Jenny through her sisters!"
Brad : "woah.. OK, now that's the most evil I've ever seen of Britt and Tiff, this is probably next level!"
Melody : "it's also disgusting, ugh.. I.. We should go there and kick Don's in the-"
Just as melody was about to storm off to confront them, Brad pulled her arm and grabbed her back to his arms assuredly
Brad : "wait! We can't just do that, XJ6 will not understand and be furious at us! We gotta.. We gotta warn her, somehow then.."
Melody : "I recorded every bit of that conversation.. We should get it to XJ6 before she comes back."
Brad : "right! But, what else is Don doing now?"
Britt : "now.. How long will it take for that scrap TV head before she's back?"
Don : "um, I don't know. Maybe.. A few minutes?"
Britt : "good, now.. I think we can have a little fun ourselves together before she comes back. Don't you think?"
Don : "oh? What do you have in mind?"
Tiff : "ooooh girl, you're treading on rough waters here with our plan, I'd suggest-"
Britt : "oh put a lid on it, Tiff, I'll only need a few minutes with Don to have some fun. {she then grabs Don by his tie and drags him out the gym doors} "
Tiff : "oh man.. Lucky girl gets Don to himself.. Tsk Tsk. Well better get back to my football man. Yo Connery! Let me get some sweet sugar also!" she then left and went back into the crowd to look for her date.
Melody and Brad looked at each other, they knew already what they should do, and followed the trail of where Don and Britt went.
As XJ6 got to XJ4s locker, she looked at the next challenge in front of her, opening the lock. She didn't know the combination obviously, but figured she could try.
XJ6 : 'OK, let's try.. 10, 30, 4?"
That didn't work.
XJ6 :" ah well, sorry XJ4. " she then proceeded to just rip out the weak padlock and opened up the locker, it itself looked like the most organized and clean locker anyone can lay their eyes on, practically a shrine to clean conduct with all then leaning materials and school material fitting space inside. The only out of place thing in the whole locker was a picture of their family together.
XJ6 : "aw how sweet, she has the same photo I have in my locker.. Well I guess all of us do, but still nice."
She quickly grabbed the cleaning water formula and a neat rag and was about to rush back down through the hall to hear last second a sudden noise around the corner.
Jenny :" phew, thanks Sheldon, I needed that."
Xj6 couldn't help but peak over to see it was indeed her sister, and in front of her was Sheldon, holding an oil can.
Sheldon : "yeah, those joints needed loosening, good thing I always have spare with me."
Jenny : "after our little moment, it's good it came in handy. Hehe."
XJ6 then decided to approach them, for whatever reason even she herself couldn't figure but, she did anyway.
XJ6 : "well well well. I see you're two having fun."
Jenny then blushed and quickly hid the oil can away back into the locker behind her.
Jenny : "oh! H-hi sis. I wasn't expecting you here.. Um.. What are you doing with XJ4s stuff?"
XJ6 rolled her eye and said : "well.. I have to admit you're kinda right, Don Prima really has it out for his shoes..just as I was about to.. Well have a closer moment, he noticed some soda on his shoe and kinda freaked out over it… But he's not a jerk so far to me! So you're not right on that still. "
Jenny :" right.. Well.. Look, I just wanted to talk to you about him. "
XJ6 then backed away a bit with a annoyed look :" oh no, I'm not going to hear another motherly lecture from you. I can-"
Jenny :" handle yourself, I know. I just.. I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for being a buzz kill for you tonight.. I know what I said and did wasn't cool and that I did act like our mother by being this concerned for you, but you know as your sister I just wanna look out for you and make sure no one spoils your night or ruins it. I.. I realized that, since I had to learn from my experience of dating on my own, you can and should too. Youre independent like me in who you want to be with, even if that person is literally the worst jerk in school, I'll support and have your back no matter what, I just want you to know that. "
XJ6 was stunned and taken back, but overall not surpsied, though now, she had a look of guilt too for earlier what she said herself.
XJ6 :" huh.. Well.. Look I'm sorry too for how I acted as well.. Agh, I'm a total loser when it comes to dating, everyone knows that. I know though you have a brief history with him but I wanna give him a chance myself. I think I can make it work out with him. I understand and respect how you're looking out for me, but I shouldn't compare you to mom.. Atleast you don't try to ground me over dating Don! "
Jenny :" haha, right.. Well you should've seen how mom wouldn't even let me go to the shadie Hawkins dance if there's boys involved when literally the point was to dance with a boy! "
XJ6 :" nooo. She did that?"
Jenny :" yep, which is a night I won't forget, where that jerk silver shell pretty much avoided me most of the night and just wouldn't let me handle myself the biker gang. Like, seriously, I ge the wanted to handle it himself, but hello? {points to herself} crime fighting robot here! I can handle it with him, which, sigh, would've made a romantic evening by itself. "
Sheldon :" r-really? Huh, I thought it would've just made you angry. "
Then both XJ6 and Jenny looked at Sheldon with a confused look.
Sheldon :" {gulp} I mean, from what I heard about that night, they were persistent in trying to ruin the dance in general, you p-probably wouldve had no time to enjoy the night with him.. I think?"
Everyone just shrugged as Jenny continued : "anyway.. Point is, Mother is way too protective, but.. That's what she was trying to be, protective. She takes it to a ridiculous level sometimes, and.. I don't want to be like that with you or our other sisters. So.. I hope then you're right with dating Don Prima. I won't judge or get in the way. "
XJ6 smile couldn't get wider in hearing this :" you.. You mean it? "
Jenny just nodded and smiled.
XJ6 then approached and hugged Jenny outright :" awww thank you sis!"
Jenny :" and, if you ever do need dating tips with Don, or just in general, you can always ask me."
XJ6 : "I already ask you for your tips, but thanks. You're the best."
They continued to hug as Sheldon just let out an : "aww…oh my gosh! {looks at his clock} the slow dance, it's already been started, we should-"
Just as he was about to finish, XJ4 and XJ7 were rushing past in the hallway as then followed by micro stomps by XJ8 and her following the lead.
Sheldon : "um.. I guess we should just go?"
Jenny : "right, well c'mon XJ6, I'm sure you don't want to keep your date waiting {winks and elbows XJ6} "
XJ6 : "right! Let's go!"
They rushed down the hallway to follow XJ8, but surprised That they already disappeared. But ongoing down the hall just close to the doors, they spotted Brad and Melody just waiting and seemingly hiding next to the bathroom.
Jenny then jumped in a bit of excitement, saying : "Brad!"
To then have Brad and Melody respond with : "shhh!"
Brad : "keep it down, we don't want to let them hear."
Jenny had a puzzled look, and as she, Sheldon and XJ6 approached, they did so quietly.
Jenny : "what is it? Oh! Don't tell me.. It's now some intruders?"
Melody : "well.. I wouldn't say that.. By the way, hi guys."
Jenny, XJ6 and Sheldon : "hi"
XJ6 : "okay, so.. Can you tell us who it is then?"
Brad had a nervous look as he looked back on Melody : "well.. You see.."
Melody : "it's Don, and Britt Crust in there."
XJ6 : "w-what?"
Jenny : "her? In the bathroom with Don?.. Oh no.."
Brad : "um.. Yeah.. We kept an eye on Don since he and XJ6 were dancing and-"
XJ6 : "you were spying on me!" she said slightly loudly but trying to keep quiet herself also.
Brad : "w-we weren't spying just.. We kept close and made sure.. That.. Eh, yeah OK we were spying, but on Don not you!"
XJ6 looked furious at this revelation : "I can't believe you Brad. I expect this from Sheldon or XJ8 but you, you're cool! Cool people don't spy on friends!"
Melody : "yes, we know. We're sorry.. But, you need to know something.."
XJ6 just put her hand infront of melody and looked away in disgust in her expression.
XJ6 : "no! I don't need to hear it… I think I can figure it out myself what's going on here.."
Brad : "um, you do?"
Just as he said that, there was then a sudden toilet flush sound coming from the bathroom, and out came Don in hand with Britt, who had a look of satisfaction in his face, as well as lipstick all over him also.
Don didn't notice XJ6 until he walked into her, and bumped a bit back like he just walked into a brick wall. He then looked forward to see an absolutely furious and mad green robot with her eye seemingly glowing brighter like fire.
Don : "o-oh! My dear, heh, I wasn't expecting you to be back so soon, I uh.. I was just helping Brit with fixing thr toilet! It was broken and-"
XJ6 just pointed at dons face and loudly exclaimed : "YOU! YOU PRIMA JERK! HOW COULD YOU JUST CHEAT ON ME THIS QUICK!? AND WITH THIS BUCK TOOTHED BRAT?! "
Everyone was taken back by how angry XJ6 was at right now, and no one knew better about XJ6s anger issues then Brad and Melody with their experience, but a bit of joy came in now seeing it being towards Don and Britt.
Don :" listen babe, if you don't cool your tone with me then I'm just going to have to call our dance and your chance to joining my possy, burnt. You don't want to diss the-"
XJ6 : "ah!? YOU'RE TELLING ME TO COOL DOWN AFTER I CATCH YOU… YOU.. AGH!" she then took drastic action and slammed her palm across Don's face! Knocking him sideways towards a locker and knocking a tooth out.
Britt : "ahh! My goodness! You treacherous brute! I'll-" just before she could continue, XJ6 shoved XJ4s rag balled up and onto Britts mouth, shutting her up and keeping her mouth stuffed with the clean rag.
XJ6 : "oh stuff it you overgrown beaver, you ruined my night enough, I suggest you leave before you get in my way with Don!"
Britt just sobbed then ran away down the hallway, seemingly to the schools exit.
XJ6 then approached the injured Don, who was conscious, and surprisingly not too injured, but with his lost tooth and now messed up hair, he surely wasn't going to look good for the rest of the night. Its clear XJ6 didn't hit him with all her force, only a fraction of it, so he wouldn't have a problem getting up and moving around then.
Don then tried to speak, but in a scared and dazed speech.
Don : "h-hey listen b-babe..why don't we, start again like we did before huh?.. I'm sure we can still work this out"
XJ6 : "agh, I can believe what I'm hearing.. You think I'm that desperate I'm just going to go back to dancing with you right after I caught you red-handed on fooling with me? Yuck…" she then poured XJ4s cleaning water on Don's head, ruining his hair now and threw the bottle down."I think you're the desperate one here don. You should probably go to your real date with that Rat and beg her for a dance. I'm sure she's fine with kissing a cheating pig like you!"
XJ6 then walked off and went past everyone else towards the gyms doors, Jenny was frozen for a moment and came to her senses to chase up to XJ6 right behind her.
Jenny :" XJ6 wait! That.. That.. "
XJ6 then began to sob mildy, as her angered subsided away.
XJ6 : "I.. I lost my temper again, I'm sorry! I know I shouldnt but-"
Jenny : "Hey don't worry! What you did was, actually totally cool!"
XJ6 : "w-wha?."
Then everyone else approached and didn't look bothered at all but the total annihilation XJ6 laid out. Brad himself looking the most amused.
Brad : "you totally destroyed the 2 most pompous jerks in the school! How is that not cool!"
Melody : "though I don't approve of how it got physical.. I must say, I and I'm sure many others would've done the same you have.. If not, more harshly."
Sheldon : "yeah, I'm pretty sure Jenny would've actually used her spike fist on Don and not just a slap. Though it's obvious you were holding back on him."
XJ6 : "ugh.. Yes I was.. You think I burnt his hair off?"
Jenny : "hah, nah. I think his looks and hair is ruined enough. Besides.. I think his tooth {picks it up} is a good enough loss he has to deal with."
Everyone laughed at the expense when Jenny held up the tooth.
Brad : "well will you look at that, Don toothless is dating Buck Britt, you think she'll lend him one of this chomped to fix it?"
XJ6 : "that is if that mole doesn't want to give it to her other cousin. Hah.. Eh.. Well.. I guess my night is sorta ruined.. Now I ain't got no date, again.."
Jenny : "aw sis, I'm sorry it happened.."
Brad : "well.. Actually be glad it ended up this way and not worse! We overheard Don and the crust cousins just after you left and.."
Melody then pulled out a video player from her hand and showed it to the rest, playing back what Don and the crust cousins had planned. It made XJ6 back to being furious, but more so, Jenny herself actually looked possibly angrier.
Jenny :" that.. That… THOSE EVIL PAIR OF SCRUBS! Why when I get my hands on them, I'll.. I'll-"
Sheldon then tried to pat on Jenny's back to calm her down, which helped a little but it didn't calm her down a the way.
XJ6 : "oooooh! They were going to use me, to get to you! Like.. Agh! I'm mad for both that I was going to be a tool, and also to be made a fool, in front of the whole school! I can't believe I almost went with it too.. All because I desperetly wanted to date someone.. Agh.. Terrible.. "
Jenny :" yeah.. Eh. {let's put a sigh and breath as she calmed down now} as if I can't imagine them being more conniving and more evil, they come up with this, manipulating my sister for a prank.. We'll get them, and we'll get them sooo hard. "
XJ6 :" yeah! And, we'll get all our sister to prank them! Once prank from each of us each day on them! And-"
Brad :" okay okay guys, like, take a deep breath and calm down. You don't want to go down this path, remember how it went with misty Jenny? "
Jenny then rolled her eyes in annoyance :" yeah I remember..but this time, we won't do anything that dangerous or stupid, we'll just go easy on them, and make them tired of ever wanting to interact with us ever again. "
XJ6 :" yeah. We'll be so bad, that.. Everytime they're close to us, we'll just basically spray skunk spray on them, or something. "
Brad :" um.. A bit too far still. "
Jenny :" then what do you have in mind? "
Brad :" how about just for tonight, we let this slide and we can figure this out and deal with it on the next school day? Tonight we should just be having classic teenage fun, no more of this revenge drama. "
Sheldon : "brads right, just for tonight Jen, we should continue having a normal special night, like the other students are having."
Melody : "they're right I'm sure you guys would still like to have a fun night ahead of us?"
XJ6 and Jenny looked at each other and gave a annoyed sigh.
Jenny and XJ6 : "fiiine"
Brad : "great! Now come on, we already missed a lot of slow songs, I don't want to miss the last few ones!"
Everyone but XJ6 got their dare by their elbows and went through the gym doors together, as for XJ6 though she stayed back for just a few seconds.
XJ6 rolled her eye in annoyance : "agh.. Yeah, you guys get all the fun, while I'll just sit back and watch everyone have the romantic night of their lives.."
She then reluctantly followed them through the door and went on with them.
As they entered to the gym, the packed place was still jamming full of young misters and mistresses. XJ6 was looking like an odd one out now without her date as she walked alone and behind everyone else.
Jenny and Sheldon came up to XJ4 and XJ7, who, in a very cute gesture and posture were dancing together in the slow song quite matchingly.
XJ4 was smiling with her eyes closes and holding close to XJ7 while XJ7 was looking nervous while dancing, yet each rotation they took it calmed her nerves. XJ8 was close by just watching them, she was easy to spot as another loner in the dance.
Jenny : "awww. You two look so great dancing together! And so good at slow dancing, I didnt think you were good at both square and slow dancing, XJ7."
XJ7 opened her eyes and gave a small yelp to surprisingly see Jenny : "oh! Um.. Yes I am quite good, thanks.. Though I think XJ4 does a better job with me then I with her.."
XJ4 : "nah! I'm not really even leading us, hehe. It's been you all this time."
XJ7 : "r-really? Wow… Well.. {continues to slow dance} I quite like doing this with you, it's comforting.."
XJ4 : "even with all the people around us?"
XJ7 didn't even bother to look around : "yeah."
XJ4 : "good! {dancers more closely} well keep doing what you're doing."
Jenny and Melody then went together and said : "awww"
While XJ6 just said :"yuck."
XJ4 : "oh, what's soured your mood?"
XJ6 : "long story short.. I ain't got no date..I'm back to being a square one loser."
Jenny patted XJ6 in the back : "aw come on sis. You're not even close to a loser. If anything, you're a winner for not going with Don Prima in my book."
XJ4 : "Don Prima!" she said in shock "you were dating Don Prima! Since when?"
XJ6 : "since an hour ago.. Until I realized he's nothing but a dirty filthy little-!"
Jenny then puts a finger on XJ6s mouth: "I think she gets the point."
XJ6 : "ugh.. Right.. Just.. I don't have anyonentk dance with now.. You guys will have a wonderful night while I'll just-"
XJ8 : "why don't we dance?"
Everyone turned their heads at XJ8 and each to their own expression of confusion and some shock, most of both in which was in XJ6s face which expressed a hint of cringe on that line.
XJ6 : "um.. Pardon?"
XJ8 then extended her hand to dance with XJ6.
XJ8 : "I don't have a partner, you don't have a partner, and XJ7 and XJ4 are dancing together, so why can't we?"
XJ6 paused for a moment to calculate her response, as soon as her shocked expression melted into a annoyed one, she let out a clear output.
XJ6 : "Do I look that deperete that I want to dance with my own sister?!"
XJ7 took offense to that line though : "Hey! I heard that.."
XJ4 then patted XJ7s arm : "aw don't mind them XJ7, just ignore them and let them figure out on their own what they want. Let's just continue dancing by ourselves then."
XJ7 grunted and let out a huff as she continued to slow dance with XJ4, away from the conversation.
Jenny next to Sheldon just giggled a bit, but Jenny said simply :" well I think it's really sweet, XJ8 could be a perfect dancer with you XJ6, she already was programmed and prepared to dance, it wouldn't be a bad time to dance."
Brad : "yeah, besides, you might as well if there's no on else to dance with, we all might as well dance with someone at this point."
XJ5 then flew and chimed in, seemingly hearing the conversation from afar : "yeah, besides its not like XJ8 is often a 'Big' catch! Haha!"
XJ6 : "oh, where were you the entire time?"
XJ5 : "oh you know, dancing here and there, chatting with a bunch of guys! Ive actually gotten to dance with a short guy! Isn't that great!"
XJ6 looked Unamused at how humiliating this night was becoming. She face palmed herself and dragged her hand down her face is grief.
XJ6 :" ohh… It can't get worse then this.. Fiiine XJ8, I'll take your offer..but this better not lead to something embarrassing later."
XJ6 then took XJ8s hand as now they began to dance on the spot. Brad and melody took each other and danced along side as so did Jenny and Sheldon. XJ5 got back to her 'date' and danced with him, in an awkward sort of way but it's a way nonetheless.
As the next slow song started, everyone got into the Groove just right for it. It seemingly was the last song playing, which means it's when the judges were looking out for the true prom king and queen.
XJ6 and XJ8, stood out for a number of reasons, one, XJ8 was super tall and eye-catching the crowd. Her and her prom dress made her look like a tall handsome robot to those who couldn't tell who it is. XJ6 was barely noticable but she stood tall non the less too. Another reason is that, they actually weren't bad dancers. With XJ6's sorta newfound experience and XJ8s programming, they got to pull some slow moves that wasn't necessary or romantic but something of awe to see, like XJ8 spinning XJ6 and etc.
Jenny noticed at how XJ6 was having a little bit of a good time atleast, sure it wasn't a romantic night for her, but it was still a fun one atleast.
After a few minutes of the dancing going on, and the song slowing to an end, the speakers suddenly squeaked and principle Razinski then began to speak.
Razinski : "alright everyone, tonight has so far been a very, very delightful night! I hope you all have had the most romantic evening you could all accumulate, and the night is still young for mroe of it, but right now, we have picked out who will be our prom king and queen for tonight's prom!"
Everyone in the crowd clapped and some cheered, excited to hear which of them is the lucky winner for tonight.
XJ6 rolled her eye. She had in mind already who would win those roles.
XJ8 :" who do you think will be the winner? "
XJ6 :" oh, isn't it obvious? It's going to be the most pretty and handsome dancers here's, obviously it being Melody and Brad.. Well good for them anyway, atleast they have a good night.. Agh.. Just wish I had the chance.. "
Razinski :" {coughs into microphone} OK, so, this prom nights winners are… " the pause was intensifying, all but to XJ6 who just rested he hand on her hip waiting to get the tension in the air over with." XJ6 and the big fella she's dancing with! "
The room seemingly erupted at first with the confusion as to who the big fella they meant, but when they looked at XJ6 and saw next to her the "big fella", XJ6 felt her heart sink. This was worse then losing prom queen, this was winning it but with your own sister as king! The whole school will humiliate her and laugh and never let this down she thought!
As XJ6 looked with utter terror on her face, expecting to hear laughter or iconic gestures, instead there was a weird assurance, of clapping. The spotlight hit on her and XJ8, shinning brightly with their dresses. There was cheers and some happy whistles.
XJ6 : "NO… Way"
XJ8 : "um… I do not know how to calculate what is happening, did.. Do they think we're-"
Razinski : "please come up here you two, and collect your crowns."
XJ6 didnt know how to move at this point, her feelings were tearing themselves apart in tryj g to figure out what happened. She could only guess as she looked at XJ8, was that because of her very boyish costume, they must have mistaken XJ8 as a boy somehow, and somehow not know she's XJ8. Either they forgot how XJ8 looks or assumed she couldn't have come to the dance either way.
XJ6 then shook her head to get her focus back : "OK.. Well XJ6, there's no where to go but forward.. Let's try and get this, over with.."
She then took XJ8 by the hand and lead her through the opening apart crowd onto the stage, not saying a word and not trying to make any eye contact with the passerbyers.
Jenny and Sheldon were at awe and mixed feelings as well. Jenny just jaw dropped and not sure how to register what she was witnessing.
Sheldon : "um.. Sorry honey we didn't win, I guess we can say maybe tonight deep inside, ere both our own king and queen prom-"
Jenny : "Sheldon, I think the biggest concern is that I hope no one realizes that both the king and queen are both sisters. For now, I don't care that we didn't win."
Brad and melody on the other hand had a more softer reaction, while they were clapping.
Brad :" wow.. Is this allowed in the rules to have two girls be king and queen or – "
Melody :" I think we should only consider it sweet That no one is aware and they're just waiting to get this out of the way now.
Brad :" um, right right.. Just.. I hope nobody asks For 'that big fellas' name."
As they got in stage, XJ6 and XJ8 tried to keep their most stoic face and posture going, XJ8 having no struggle as she's practically programed into her core to be like that, as for XJ6, she tried to hide it in musch as she can.
When the approached Razinski, he behloded on them two crowns, one for a king and one for a queen.
With obvious assumptions, XJ6 took the queen crown while XJ8 took the king one, which surprisingly fitted perfectly on her head. And for XJ6, hers fitted not so well, but atleast it stayed on her head.
Razinski : "congratulations you two, would you care to make a speech?"
XJ6 looked at the crowd. To her, this was her moment, she only dreamed and imagined how in a very special night like this, shed get to be a winner, and that she'd have the whe schools attention at the palm of her hand. She would be seen as the coolest or most special girl that got all the attention she wanted, right there on stage she could say whatever she wanted and for sure she'd still get a cheering crowd. She tried to think of something clever to say, as she approached the microphone. But as she done so, she could only gulp, and in the best and proudest tone she could muster, express a little sentence.
XJ6 : "I um.. I'm very honored to be your queen for tonight! But, I wanna let you know, that to all the boys out there wishing they were on stage with me, I want you to know that, all of you are kings in my eyes!"
This got the crowd to cheer and give a positive feedback on those words, mainly to the guys in the crowd and especially the ones who didn't have any date that night.
XJ8 chimed in to say :" and to all the queens… Well, sorry that you aren't one now."
Which got the crowd to laugh at it as though is was a joke, but to XJ8 she was trying to be sincere and apologetic to those she calculated were more likely to have one.
Everyone clapped though as XJ6 and XJ8 backed out from the stage and gave a bow, and quickly as they can went down on the stage to let Razinski have the microphone again.
Razinski : "well, to all my students, I hope you had a wonderful night. The dance is staying open for the whole night and as long as you'd like to stay, so please, don't leave too much of a mess if you're leaving and I hope to see you all Monday. Goodnight!" he then waddled off stage and the music blasted back on to the most active and energetic tone as it begginigly was.
XJ6 as she was approaching back to her sisters, wanted to at first exhibit excitement towards her sisters and friend, but only could give simple smug smile.
Jenny : "well well well, looks like we have royalty in our family now!"
XJ5 : "you can count that as two, but I hope that doesn't give either of them an idea of power while at home!"
XJ7 : "oh dear.. As if XJ6 wasnt bossy enough.."
XJ4 : "oh please, it should hopefully mean she'll give more duty to clean our house now!"
XJ6 : "muahah, why yes, Jenny, now that I have this crown {points at crown} I think it's safe to say, that, I, am, prettier, then, you, hah!"
Jenny just giggled and replied : "okay okay, you win on the Sis. Though, this night has been more unexpecting then any other!"
XJ4 : "yeah.. I think it's been more better then weird for all of us, {holds XJ7s arm} Its been an amazing night!"
XJ8 : "indeed.. Even though, XJ6, you don't have a real date tonight, I'm sure after this, you'll be getting line ups of boys coming to talk to you, and even ask you out. Statistically, prom queens after prom will get 67% more social interaction."
XJ6 : "yep! I guess I'm going to be at the top for a while.. But, I'll need help from Jenny for this too though, a queen will still need an advisor for her troubles."
Jenny then winked and said : "only if you don't call me the jesture."
XJ5 : "Hey, I think that role will naturally be mine."
XJ7 : "or mine.."
Everyone laughed at that moment of odd happiness, they all truly didn't expect a night like prom to go this weird but well.
Just then, a boy came up behind to XJ6 and poked her shoulder.
XJ6 turned around and gasped and spoke in a surprised pitch voice : "{gasp} ! C-chuck, from woodwork class! How {she then calmed herself down and talked in her normal voice} ahem, how are you doing, this fine evening?"
Chuck was, in XJ6s personal diary, one of her top 10 guys she would've wanted to date, but of course she figured wouldn't be able to get a chance to talk to.
Chuck :" Hey, uh.. XJ6 was it? "
XJ6 blushed and though :" oh my gosh he knows my name!.. Though, he probably just heard it from a moment a go but either way he knows my name!"
XJ6 : "yes, heh, that's me of course."
Chuck :"I liked your speech of all us guys being a king in your eyes, I think that's neat to hear for even the guys here who don't have any dates to go with them."
XJ6 : "oh well, you know, I'm sure everyone has something special That makes them a king in their own right heh heh…"
Chuck : "yeah.. I wasn't able to get anyone to go with me to the prom, but came with my friend to help him with his date anyway."
XJ6 : "whaaa? You? No date? No way."
Chuck : "yeah. Just wished some gal could, I don't know, ask me if I was availible but it seemed everyone was taken."
XJ6 couldn't belive how her luck was turning. First Don, now Chuck, was talking to her and asking revealing how they didn't have a date. Though Don did have one and was being slimey about it, she felt that Chuck here was being honest, atleast in hope.
Xj6 : "oh my.. If I had known that.. I.. I would've asked you out."
Chuck : "wow. Really?"
XJ6 : "y-yeah! I mean.. A cute boy like you shouldn't be all alone at a night like this."
Chuck : "wow, brave words from you to say next to your already promoted king{he points to XJ8 who just waves} ."
XJ6 : "oh, um.. Well this was, as you can say, sorta my last resort date I had. No one ready special, really… OK well someone I care for, but not really a date."
Chuck : "ah, I see.. Soo.. You're availible right now?"
XJ6 looked back at Jenny and XJ8, both of them smiling with glee and giving a thumbs up in seeing this opportunity bloom as XJ6 smiled back at their approval.
XJ6 : "oh, { blushes and puts arm around chucks shoulder} im all yours."
XJ8 then placed the king crown on Chucks head gently as a ceremonial passing down.
XJ8 : "it was too Shiney for me anyway."
XJ6 chuckled as she smiled widely and softly at her finally new found date. They drifted off together to dance into the crowd on their own as everyone else just watched.
XJ5 just looked at the whole thing and said : "wow… Okay, I don't think there can be any mroe surprises for tonight."
Jenny : "aww.. I'm so happy XJ6 got herself a proper Date, and with a boy that I find approving."
Sheldon : "hm you know, you really are starting to sound more like your mom."
Jenny : "umm yeah, like as if." Jenny waved her hand dimmisingly at Sheldon for such a suggestion, though, she then looked at her hand and realized she made the same gesture her own mother would do. "Oh" she thought.
XJ4 : "well.. With all this good luck so far, I don't think any bad luck is even coming at all tonight."
XJ7 : "yeah.. Like a gang of depressed loners and a gang of fish bikers showed up, that'll probably ruin everything."
Just then there was a pause, as if they were expecting it to have actually happened.
Jenny : "phew.. Alright come on XJ7, don't jinx us."
XJ7 : "sorry."
XJ4 : "awww. Hey look at the photos I've taken so far tonight! I got of us all dancing, like Brad and melody, then I got when XJ6 and XJ8 were on stage, and now I got with XJ6 and her date! Oh! I also got a shot of-"
BLAAAM‼!
Just then, the gyms walls to the outside blew open and a huge puff of smoke emerged from the debris.
Sillouttes were on the cascaded opening of the mess as they emerged though. It was, to all but Jenny's surprise, indeed the Space Fish Bikers gang, and oddly enough, the lonely hearts gang.
Lonely hearts gang member 1 : "avast, this nightmarish party must come to an end, as all love does."
Other member : "yeah, to this mess, we're here to clean it up, and make everyone know that to deal with romance, is to deal, with being alone in the end."
Then one of the bike members, Letta, spoke up : "and we heard this was the perfect place to cause as much havok, we figured these lonely twerp hearts needed some real womanly company {hugs one of them} so let's see whose hearts we can really rip off tonight!"
Jenny and her sisters just stared ad dissaray, Jenny herself just now angry that her night, now just got ruined. XJ6 with her new date came up by jenny, with concerned look on her face.
XJ6 :" oh just perfect… "
Jenny :"why, do they have to always, ruin every night I'm having a date with someone, and now on prom when my sisters are having their own dates?!."
XJ8 got herself in fighting mode, with her hands as sledge hammers ready to smash them.
XJ8 : "I recommend we get in fighting position girls."
Melody joined in as well, getting her arm cannons ready.
Melody :"I'm in too.. You better take shelter while you can, Bradley-poo"
Brad : "sure thing! Come on Sheldon, I think we best give them space."
XJ6 : "eh, this will be just a moment chuck, will we still have our dance?"
Chuck : "only if the speakers aren't destroyed."
They all got in their battle modes activated as the intruders approached and got their weapons loaded and on hand.
Jenny, with a furious look on her face, readied herself and her sisters as she armed her plasma ray-gun
Jenny :" okay girls… Let's show these creeps how we ladys don't want our night ruined!"
They charged at an into the intruders with their might, and so, their battle ensued while everyone else, casually just decided to continue dancing as the dj played on the music for everyone, which made for good battle music as well.
The end.
