Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel had half wondered if she shouldn't tell Wyatt to meet her at the Prom, just to keep her streak of arriving dateless alive as some sort of weird personal Fandom tradition. That idea lasted about a second and half before she realized that she liked the idea of him turning up to get her.

Hair and make-up done, Isabel stepped into her dress, slipped on her shoes and put on a pair of earrings for the final touch.

Now all she needed was her date.

And there was the date, knocking on the door, corsage in hand.

"Wow," Isabel smiled as she opened the door. "You look amazing."

[blessed_twice]

"I was about to say the same about you," Wyatt said, looking at Isabel. "Wow."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She turned around to let him see all of the dress. "You like it? I decided to try something not black or red for a change."

[blessed_twice]

"You look gorgeous," Wyatt said, grinning. "That's a great color on you."

"I'll have to wear more of it then," Isabel said as she reached out to adjust his tie. Not that it really needed it. She just like liked the intimacy of it. "You're extremely snazzy looking yourself. It's a shame we don't have reasons to get dressed up like this more often."

"Might as well get my money's worth out of this suit," Wyatt said. "Guys get the automatic cheat of being able to reuse the same outfit over and over again."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's because if guys had to shop for something new every time there was an occasion, they'd just say the hell with it," she laughed. "And suddenly dressy events would require a nice button down shirt and the jeans without holes in them."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt snickered. "This is true," he said. "We aren't very cooperative shoppers."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But you make great Sherpas," Isabel pointed out. "When we women shop."

[blessed_twice]

"I am your pack mule and your transportation," Wyatt agreed. "And I'll even hold your purse, but don't abuse that."

"I wouldn't dream of it," she promised.

Stepping back a bit, Isabel studied Wyatt carefully. "You do look wonderful. But you are missing one thing."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt cocked his head. "What's that?" he asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel reached into the mini-fridge, pulled out a small box and opened it. "This," she smiled.

[blessed_twice]

"Well, that's convenient," Wyatt grinned. "Because I have one for you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Funny how that worked out," Isabel said as she reached to pin Wyatt's flower on.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt followed suit by pinning Isabel's corsage on. His fingers may have slipped, just a little. Ooops. Purely unintentional, really.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel caught his hand and bit lightly at a finger tip. "Later. I promise."

[blessed_twice]

"So skipping the dance is out of the question?" Wyatt teased.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Not even a potential option," she grinned. "We're going, we're dancing, we're having fun. Then we'll come back to have more fun."

[blessed_twice]

"And you only get one senior prom," Wyatt said. "Fortunately, from what I've been told, the prom isn't as dangerous as graduation."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I've been to two," Isabel told him. "And so far the only thing dangerous I've seen is the punch. Graduation? Yeah, we're going armed. But for now, let's go dance."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt took Isabel's hand. "Want to walk or orb?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel looked down at her shoes. "I'll save my feet for dancing. Orb away."

[blessed_twice]

Gently tugging Isabel close, Wyatt wrapped his arms around her. "As my lady wishes," he said, orbing them out of the room and down to the prom.
