I based this off of my homecoming dance last year but modified it to suit the high class prepatory school. So really this is what I witnessed.
The Dance
"Well does everyone have all they need?" Yumi said acting like the whole gang's check list.
Everyone nodded and agreed, well at least the boys. The rest of the girls went through their purses and looked into their mirrors, Terra and Aelita mostly while Kila clung to Odd blushing like nothing. The girls wore magnificent dresses that flowed off of their bodies as if the material was a silky cloud glimmering with sparkles, varying in lovely colors. The boys, well Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie wore close to formal dress wear with ties. Nathan and Guerrmo had on similar clothing but without the ties and their dress shirts were untucked, their character the school knew of the boys thought they looked like themselves. Yumi, the mother figure of the group, wore a fine dress with a transparent thin scarf around her that had gold Japanese lettering on it. Her look really made Ulrich stutter every time he spoke to her.
"So, how are we going to get to the dance again?" Odd asked forgetting for the forth time this evening.
"Odd, look and remember, we are going by Nathan's family car. All of us can fit in there with no trouble….oh and the seatbelt for you is in the middle not the bottom." Jeremie told him answering all of his questions he'd asked him additionally to the second.
"Well let's hit the road before the crowds get there." Ulrich said stretching out.
The whole gang left in the huge car, everyone did get in easy and got out easy. At the front of the building hosting the dance, the girls got out and straightened their long elegant dresses. The guys got out and and only dusted off their clothing then paired up with their dates. But Nathan was alone in the pairings, Jeremie got the escort duty for Aelita. Guerrmo was too busy talking to Terra to notice his friend falling behind them, well actually no one noticed but it was the way Nathan wanted it. Odd and Kila were the last to enter and he was right behind them, handing his ticket in and following them.
Inside the building, was a tall roof, considering the place had atleast seven level. The light placement was perfectly alined on the walls, the gang followed a few early students through them. Going into a small cafeteria where little cute table were organized and had little vases with flowers on the red and white checkered tablecloth. Just a few steps from that and they came to the dance hall entrance, a few teachers were manning the ticket desk to stamp their hands and deem them official particapants.
Nathan passed the small cafeteria two minutes later and got to see his old government teacher.
"Hey Mr. Z." he smiled cordially.
"Hey what's up." The old man nodded his head at him not pausing in his walk to the bathrooms.
"Not to bad sir, don't got a date though." Nathan waved to him.
"Good luck man!" the teacher disappeared behind the pillars.
Nathan made it to the desk and got stamped, then he headed in and found his friends sitting at two table.
"Wow, so this is your schools kinda dance. At Kadic we have our things in the gym with a stage for the music. You all have table and chairs to sit on." Odd said amazed as his eyes drank in the wide highly decorated room with the schools colors mixed in.
"Our schools has high grades and successful future students so they give us this in reward." Guerrmo told him as the music started to pick up and the lights above them turned off in a pattern.
"They're testing the lights…ahhh there we go." Nathan told them as the table area's lights all turned on, "Well I'm going to get something to drink, I feel like some sprite." And he left them for the drink table.
After a half an hour, enough people came in to start the dance music. The first song was a weird one the gang didn't know. But went out to the now crowding dance floor and adapted quite fast. It was the cha cha cha song, Guerrmo helped Terra with the steps and turns so soon she got the hang of it. The girls giggled at the boys as their legs twisted around each other almost causing them to fall.
The next song was a tejano, again the cycle was repeated and went the same for the other genres that came up. But the three slow dances that came were real easy to do, no one failed at that but most blushed. However, Aelita and Jeremie stared into each others eyes throughout them. Odd joked about them, Ulrich and Guerrmo looked happy for them as well as the two girls, but someone was missing. Yet with all the fun, moving spotlights, loud music, and crowds made it hard for the gang to remember who it was.
It was only after ten songs, did they all come back to their table. Where they found Nathan sitting in a chair drinking soda, he'd gone through three of them. But all that came to them was they were thirsty as well. They all spent ten minutes with refreshments and then left for the floor again. Though the same person stayed behind and smiled at his group of friends enjoying themselves. A few of his acquaintances joined him for a few minutes and talked, but only temporary. The whole dance was only half way done, it didn't end till midnight so more gradually disappearing time to go for him and an hour for the others on the dance floor.
