Dorm Lobby | Wednesday During and After Classes

There was excitement in the air. Okay, maybe that was just the mixture of Caroline's perfume and fresh baked cookies or just the scent of fresh permanent marker emanating from the sign adorning her table in the lobby.

Her purpose was the same as the words on the poster that had been glitter-fied at the KDG meeting:

SHOW OFF!
Sign up to perform in the Student Council Parent Weekend Recital!
When: SATURDAY EVENING
Where: The COMMUNITY CENTER

With a great big smile, Caroline was ready to do her Student Council duty and chat up anyone who looked in need of some persuasion to participate. Um, not that she was going to be using her special, vampiric talents to fill the sign up list. That would be bad, even if it would mean a seriously amazing show.

Hmm. Maybe she should just stick with the cookie bribe.

[The lobby is open! There is OCD!]

Miley was on her way down for a run, but her face lit up upon seeing the sign, so she was effectively distracted.

"Ooh! The squirrels told me about this! I am definitely signing up."

...out of context, that was just weird, Miley.

Miley was lucky Caroline knew all about the local gossip show. But please, there was a more pressing focus here. "Oh my God, you're totally signing up, right? Because I'm putting your name down for you if you say no. I will not embarrass myself alone."

"Totally," Miley agreed, laughing. "My friend Lilly's coming, and she still does not get how to do the Hoedown Throwdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlnbmZK7GxU), and neither does, like, the rest of Fandom, for that matter. So I definitely have to show you guys how it's done."

"What are you going to do?"

"Ooh, hoe-throwing, I love it!" Caroline told her, shoving the clipboard Miley's way. "It has been strongly encouraged that I sing something," she replied. "So probably that. Too boring?"

"Oh, you should totally sing!" Miley exclaimed encouragingly. "You were great at Caritas! And the Hoedown Throwdown's, like, a dance. Not sure I really know how to throw a hoe." Oh, god, Miley. No. "Although I guess face-down would be best," she said thoughtfully.

Caroline laughed at that image, wishing she was allowed to throw hoes. "I've never gotten to do it, I usually get in trouble just for compelling them to leave certain people alone."

"Wait, huh?"

Miley was not attuned to the slang, you see. George had discovered this in using the word "fuck" around her the other day. The result hadn't been pretty.

"Huh what?" Caroline asked, not following why anyone would be confused with that conversation.

"..."

"Never mind," she decided. It was probably for the best. "So, singing, huh? What song were you thinking?"

"No clue. Though now I'm thinking there might be some rehearsal time needed for this. Even if the parents aren't from my world, I don't feel like looking like a fool in front of them." Strangers were still people.

"No, no, you're really good!" Miley insistend. "Totally no need to worry. Though if you do wanna practice, I'll be more than happy to listen in?"

"Oh, that would be great! Rehearsal time can totally include wardrobe selection," she said, sounding far too pleased with this idea. "Maybe tomorrow night, just to give us time to finish the guest prep." Not that normal people were quite as intense about this as Caroline.

"Yeah, totally, I'm around tomorrow! You can come by my room or something. Surreal probably won't -- "

Surreal probably would mind, Miley.

"...or we could go to yours?"

Caroline laughed. "Whichever works for me. Though really, I kind of enjoy the idea of messing with a roommate. It's been too long since I've had the opportunity."

"Then my room is totally the place for you," Miley said dryly. "But if she bites your head off because she hates your singing, don't take it personally. She did it to poor Justin Bieber too."

Poor, poor Justin.

"Justin Bieber was here?" Caroline blinked. Did celebrities know about Fandom? "Oh wait, or do you mean like, your CD?"

"Yeah," Miley laughed. "I mean, I wish I could get Justin Bieber in my dorm room! I mean, to sing. Because he's a good singer. Even if Surreal would make fun of him." God, Surreal.

Also, someone looking just like him had actually lived in her dorm room last weekend. Miley chose to leave that out.

"So, you said your parents aren't coming?" she not-so-subtly segued.

"Oh God no," Caroline replied, making a face. "That is one nightmare avoided. I invited a couple friends, but time back home moves way slow so it's hard to know who'll show up. You're lucky getting your B-F-F to show up! I bet you guys are excited."

Of course Bonnie was at her dad's and couldn't show. Sigh.

"So excited," Miley said, bouncing slightly. "You should totally meet her. You guys will totally hit it off." Even if, now that Miley thought about it, Lilly was kind of the antithesis of Caroline, from her gazillion jobs to her love of adventure sports. But they both liked school! ...well, kind of. "Oh, and my dad and brother are coming too, but that's... eh."

Like she needed them running around and embarrassing her. Please.

"Hopefully your friends will show up too! We can all go out after the recital or something!"

"Aww, I wish my dad would come visit, but that would be like, super complicated." She'd kind of failed to visit him since she was turned, oops?

"But definitely I want to meet Lilly! We will totally meet up at the recital." It would be awesome.

Awesome in the sense of "inspiring literal awe," sure.

"Cool! I'll tell her to look for the girl with the best shoes," Miley teased. "And, duh, the best rendition of -- what are you gonna sing?"

"Oh God, like I know! Tell her the blonde with awesome shoes." She didn't think Quinn had her affliction when it came to shoe stores.

On the other hand, Hanna and Petra might pose some competition...

"I'll pass that on," Miley laughed, visualizing Lilly walking around and watching people's footwear. "And you can look for the blonde who... well, she'll probably be wearing sneakers." That presented an obstacle. "She kind of looks like the girl from that movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338459/) about the teen secret agents? Not the main one, the other one."

"Hey, I wear sneakers, they're just really awesome ones," Caroline pointed out. "Huh. So you're saying she's cute? Is she as..." What was a nice word for naive? "Sheltered as you?"

"Kinda?" Miley guessed. "She's the one I told you about who's all couple-y and calls her boyfriend 'Olliepop.' Sooo..."

Yes, basically, was the answer.
