Third Floor Common Room - Tuesday Evening

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Deciding to get a different view of the world and a bit of dinner while he studied, Neil had packed up his books and shuffled himself out into the common room. He left the TV off, opting instead to flip on the radio before walking over to see what he could pull together for a bit of dinner.

Hmmm... well, it was soup and grilled cheese kinda weather. With a small shrug, Neil pulled out the appropriate fixings and began to cook.

[ooc: Open as common rooms usually are.]

"Chimps are so much cuter." She nodded. "People that don't know that don't know anything." Grinning, she tossed him another one, seeing if he could catch it again.

Marco was too busy grinning to remember to open his mouth. "Ouch! Oh hey, got any plans for Friday?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Oh! Sorry!" She tried not to grin. It wasn't working very well.

"I'm going to the dance, that's about it." Of course she left out the part where she was going alone. Seemed kind of wrong to tell him that part.

"Wow, what a coincidence, so am I." Marco said with a grin and finally sat down. "Wanna go together?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That is a coincidence." She said when he sat down. Though his suggestion at their going to the dance together surprised her. It shouldn't though, really. They were friends after all.

"Yeah, Marco. We can go together. Do you mean like, uh, meet each other there?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco ran a hand through his hair. "There's a restaurant thing like in town? We could, uh go there?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Okay, this was a little more than what she thought he was thinking when he asked her about going together. Annette might be feeling a little flustered, maybe a little excited.

"Is it like a nice restaurant thing? And this thing would be done, like, before the dance?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"In theory? Yes? We don't have to if you don't want." Marco quickly backtracked.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"No, I want to!" She said a little too quickly. A date! She hasn't been on a date since...

"Are you asking me out, Marco, to this dance, to dinner, as in like a date?" Cause she needed to know and even though she felt her cheeks fuse with color, she just needed to know.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully? Yes?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She was so excited! "Yes, I would love to go!" She beamed and impulsively leaned over to give him a quick hug. "Thank you for asking me, Marco."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco was grinning like a fool as he hugged Annette back. "I promise I'll even keep the bad jokes to a minimum."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You tell bad jokes, Marco?" She asked, pulling back. "Well, I just won't go then if you don't promise to tell me them all!" She teased him.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco pouted, cutely. "Then I'll guess I'll just have to grin and bear it."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"And you'll be cute doing it. So, are you, um, going to come by my dorm to pick me up or...?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Sure, if you tell me where you live. Otherwise, I'm just going to have to guess and knowing my luck it'll be Turtle and she'll kick me again."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She chuckled. "Well, I wouldn't want you to get kicked unless I was the one kicking you, and then only after our date. My room is number 508." And this was all still making her feel a little flighty, nervous like.

OH! She would have to get a new dress!

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco? Could totally relate. "508, handwavey time, got it."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Perfect." She said.

"Uh, Marco? You'll be coming as you, right?" Just to get that out of the way too.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Yup." Marco nodded and paused. "Unless you want me to come as my best-friend's dog? Or I have this awesome gorilla morph..."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette poked him, "No dog and no gorilla, though I would really like to see that one some other time." She grinned. "So, I'll see you Friday, if not before?"
