The Lobby -- All Day

Ino, and Weechee who was still crazy-adorable, were up nice and early to get the table for prom ticket sales set up. With king and queen voting even. There was, because this was Ino, various sorts of chocolates set out too.

And a small sign that said ‘free hug (if you want it) with ticket purchase’, because far be it for Ino to pass up a chance to get random hugs. Shush. Besides, she was just a sophomore. If it wasn't for Ichigo, she wouldn't even be able to go, geez. Somehow that totally counted as a valid reason for a hug.

Or something! She didn't really need a reason after all!

"Uh, she's kind of out of contact," Jack said. "But I don't know, she might." She totally wouldn't. "I was thinking I might crash. Don't tell the ticket girl," he said, leaning toward Dinah conspiratorially.

Dinah snickered, and dropped her voice a little. "Ino would go ninja on you for that. Not telling. Don't worry."

"Cool, cool." Jack suddenly had a brilliant idea. Really. Jill would freak. "Although, you know, I bet I wouldn't have to crash if I had a date who was a student..."

"Well, sure, you're allowed to take someone as long as they're not really old...." Dinah'd gotten so used to the idea that she wouldn't have a date for Prom, that this was taking a minute to sink in. "Um. That was a hint? Right?" Please?

Jack laughed. "That was a hint. Wanna take it? Or do I need to be more straightforward? You're pretty and I'm single. Wanna go to prom with me?"

"Yay! I mean, yes! Sure. Cool." Dinah bounced on her toes for a second, totally gleeful. Jack was cute and funny and hey, just said he was single right there! Woo! "Thanks for asking, I was all set to go by myself. This'll be great!"

"Great!" Jack said. "I'll pick you up at...uh. Your room? Whichever one that is."

"Oh, 312. Right, you and Jill don't talk much." Dinah looked pensive a moment, then said, "She'll probably be upset I'm going with you, if she can't make it back, hunh?" Not that that changed her mind. Jill really needed to learn to deal.

"She'll get over it," Jack said with a confidence he didn't feel.

If she figured it out and told their mom what he'd done, he was screwed.

Jack didn't realize it, but he looked hunted and scared for a moment before he said, "Uh, maybe she should just not find out?" not thinking of how very much that didn't jive with previous statements suggesting there was still a possibility Jill might make it back before prom.

Dinah gave him a curious, then slightly worried look. "Jack? Why would Jill make a fuss about that? Are you not supposed to date, or something?" Although that would make no sense with Jill's obsession with finding a date; she couldn't imagine their parents were stricter with Jack than they were with Jill.

"I'm not supposed to talk to people," Jack said. "Period. Our mother would flip."

Okay, that was Not Good. "Seriously?" Dinah bit her lip, then had to ask, "Why? Is this some kind of... I don't know. I can't even-- is this a religious thing, or to do with Jill being sick, or...?"

'Cause really, none of that made sense at all.

"It's...really complicated, and I can't tell you." She would so not date him if she knew. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. You barely know me," Dinah said, still all worried for him. "But, if you want to, sometime, you can. I'll listen." She gave him the brightest smile she could. "Still. Prom! Yes!"

"Yes! Prom!" Jack agreed. "I'll see you tomorrow. For prom!"
