Prompt #30:Prom night
April 2033
"Mom are we done with the hair?"
"Just one bit,honey"
The night required her being as elegant as she could be. Prom was one big deal,and on top of it all it was the very first time she had been asked out. Yeah. She hadn't given much of a thought to going out before,so it had come as a surprise to her when somebody had finally asked her out,and to go to the prom together nonetheless,whereas she was still a freshman. William was a pretty gallant Junior and Lexie couldn't wait to have her mothers meet him. She was sure he would've been liked.
"Oh look at you kid,all grown up"
"Maa,I'll have you know I m only dressing up this way because I have to."
"Yeah,and it has nothing to do,with that boy you're talking about,has it?"
Lexie blushed,and frowned. She didn't blush,she was a massive tomboy,causing trouble,and soon to go back to the air with her mama and finally help out with The fight,after she had seriously bailed at 10 with her almost kidnapping. Alexandra Danvers Grant didn't blush.
"Oh love,look at her,she's blushing."
"I'm not"she asserted,shrugging and turning away,to fake fix up the dress better.
They heard suddenly the doorbell ringing,and Lexie skipped up even more excited than before.
"He's here. Go open"
"He's your date honey"
"Go"
Kara smiled,shaking her head and took the stairlift downstairs to go open the door. Lexie had just reminded her of her dating days. Kara was just thankful they had had all the time to shop for the dress,because back in the days she had been a mess at choosing how to dress up,and Alex had usually had to come to her aid,saving the day. With this in her mind,she opened the door.
To an handsome 17 years old boy,5'9 tall.
"Good evening Mrs. Danvers,I'm William"
"Good evening William"they exchanged a strong handshake,and she accompanied him in.
"Sit down there,me and my wife would like to talk to you first"
He looked mildly scared,but didn't ob and sat down waiting for Cat to come down too. She did so,five minutes later,and got to meet him to.
"So William,we don't mean to scare you too much,but we'll go straight to the point"
"Kara"
"What are your intentions exactly?"
"I..I.g-guess,mm…Lexie is lovely and I would really like to get to be with her"
"She's with you tonight,and you look like somebody who can be trusted,so don't make us regret it,kid"
Cat grabbed a tablet and put it on the couch table,turning it on to skype.
Carter had chosen this way to see them quickly,since he was on a mission,and also had a family of his own so he couldn't have taken part himself to the whole thing.
"Hi William,we don't know each other,but I'm sure you heard of me. I won't ask you to take good care of my sister,I'm sure my moms have already told you. But you also need to remember to be careful,and treat her well. If not…"he looked through the screen with the most intimidating look,which made the poor boy gulp in fear again,and nod. Lexie had told him everything about her siblings,and Carter,who happened to be in the army too,seemed to be the most intimidating between the two oldest.
"Enough with scaring the kid. Have a nice prom,I need to go moms"
"Stay safe Carter"
"I will,bye"
"Mmes I assure to you,there will be nothing of inappropriate,and I'll make sure to bring her home at eleven if needed."
"Nah don't be like that Wilhelm."
"William,my name is William"
"Yeah of course. William. The most important thing is that you have fun,stay safe,and bring her home at an acceptable time which won't have us worried,you may stay for as long as the prom is on"added Cat.
Kara smiled at her and her slip up. Cat had long a the habit,but sometimes she would still fall into it,mostly with the people the kids brought home,dates and friends.
Their conversation was interrupted by the cling of heels on the stairs. It had taken some training but eventually Lexie had learned. Kara had had fun looking at Cat teaching her. And maybe had felt a lot nostalgic. Yeah,she had wished for a pair of those,something she wouldn't have done at 25.
Lexie was stunning. Her long auburn hair fell curly and free on her shoulders,the blue dress fit her complexion,and her eyes were sparkling.
It was the same kid who had hugged her dirty with flour,driven her wheelchair down the stairs with herself on,and twirled around mid air the day she had learned how to walk,who still hugged her like a bear whether she had ups and downs.
They didn't lesin on either pictures and videos. Kara and Cat wanted to make as many memories of it,as they had with many other things,and were left a bit sad when it was time to go for Lexie. They had a place where to be,they were young and entitled to having fun.
"Have fun,and dance it away for us."
"We'll Mmes."
"Goodnight moms"
Cat shut the door behind herself and fell on the couch,sighing.
"She's gonna be fine,and have a lot of fun,Cat"
"She's all grown up"
"And luckily she seems to have inherited our dancing talent. What would've happened if she had started stepping on his feet while dancing?"
"What if he were to?"
Kara laughed
"You've a very good point Cat Danvers"added the blonde kissing her wife.
