Fifth Floor Common Room; Wednesday Night

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

It was late, but Elle wasn't tired. Therefore?

Common room!

Since it was late and there weren't likely to be an uber lot of people roaming the fifth floor common room, Elle had laid claim to the most comfortable couch in the room. Hey, she showed up first. It was her priority, dammit.

Unfortunately, this late at night, the only thing on was infomercials. Lots of them. Most of them confusing to the girl who was displaced in time by a decade.

[Open as common rooms are!]

Well Hayley was on a mission. Yes, even though it was late. And when she spotted Elle in the common room on her way to stop by her friend's actual room, well, she made the needed detour.

She grinned at her friend. "Well hi there," she greeted.

"Hi," Elle replied cheerfully, waving slightly with the hand that was holding the remote. "Did you know that infomercials are weird?"

"I don't even know what they are," Hayley said. "But now I know they're weird. So thanks for telling me."

She loomed over the end of the couch where Elle was situated. "I have a very important question for you."

"The sky is blue."

Well, that kind of question was important, wasn't it? Also, probably not the question in... well, question.

Elle grinned. "Seriously, though, what's up?"

"Well, you see, one of the most important nights of my high school life is Friday," Hayley said. "And I was kinda hoping, that..."

She giggled and got down on one knee.

"Will you go to Prom with me?"

Elle just stared at her for a moment. This wasn't her first dance, but it was her first prom, and...

Okay, there were the tears.

"I'd love to," she said, sniffling.

"Those better be happy tears," Hayley said, looking up at her friend. She stood up, mostly because it was uncomfortable to kneel like that. "Though I think I know they are."

Unicorn tears, Hayley thought. That's how she'd think of them for a long time to come.

"Of course they are," Elle said, nodding for emphasis and moving over so Hayley could sit with her if she wanted.

Hayley sat down next to her friend and smile. "Good," she said with a nod. "We'll have ta make sure our dresses match. Or at least don't clash. It'd be awful if they didn't look good together."

"My fashion sense isn't the greatest, so we're probably gonna have to ask someone for help," Elle cautioned. "Because ew, what if it was like pink and green or something? Those would never go together. Ever."

"Yeah," Hayley said. She was about to recommend red and black, but she shied away from that. "Well, we could always go simple. I could wear black and that'd match anything you wear."

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"But you'd look pretty in other colors, too," Elle said. "You shouldn't have to wear black just 'cause."

She frowned thoughtfully. "Or we could just both wear the same color!"

"Ooooh," Hayley said, grinning. "What color, then? I like all sorts of colors."
