Welcome Dance - the Gym

The streamers and banners are up. So are a zillion multi-colored helium balloons.

The floor is cleared, and the bandstand is up at the north side of the room, ready for Dusted Bunnies to take their places.

The refreshment table, with the (as yet) unspiked punch is in place. There are chips and stuff as well, Chex mix, a few nachos and some guacamole.

Party on, dudes! And welcome to Fandom High.

And for once, Jaye has no plans on spiking said punch bowl. Or drinking from said spiked punch bowl. Because drunk people aren't pretty.

"Jaye, you look very pretty tonight. Doesn't she, Archie?" Rory asked, smiling sweetly.

"She looks absolutely stunning," replied Archie with a smile that was in no way meant to needle Rory.

Blush!

"Archie looks very handsome too, huh Jaye?"

"Yes." And again with the blushing. God dammit.

"Yeah, you two are adorable. You should go dance," Rory suggested.

There is a lot of blushing going on here.

Jaye's eyes might narrow a little this time. "I'll deal with you later," she tells Rory.

And hello awkward with Archie now.

Archie clears his throat a little too emphatically. "Er. Would you, er, care for some punch?"

Yes. That was suave.

"Um, sure," says Jaye, whose first instinct is to get it herself. She stops and drops her arms and it really looks kind of spastic.

Archie starts to laugh and stops himself, which just ends up making him look mildly psychotic. "We could both go?"

"We could," she says. "Punch is... good."

Archie gestures toward the punch bowl in an incredibly lame-looking way. "Er, well, it's this way," he says, stating the obvious in fine non-eloquent fashion.

"Right," she says, and goes to where the punch is obvious, then thinks maybe she should wait a little, so she waits, and Jaye curses this age.

Archie starts to get Jaye a glass of punch, then thinks that maybe it would be the wrong thing to do in this era, so he stops. Which only looks more awkward. But handing her an empty cup would be rude, wouldn't it?

He can't figure out a way out of this dilemma, so he just sort of stands there holding two empty punch cups and looks incredibly foolish.

Jaye smiles. "Planning on doing anything with those?"

"Well, there was a plan to put punch in them, but . . ." Archie looks at the cups, and then at the punch bowl, and then at Jaye. And then he blushes.

"We fail at punch," she nods.

Archie is incredibly embarrassed now, so he puts the cups down on the table.

"Maybe we should try this again," he says, filling both cups and then offering one to Jaye.

"Thanks," she says, taking it. And drinking from it. "Not alcoholic yet. Good."

The punch not being alcoholic is a good thing. Archie files this away for future reference.

"I confess to being a little perplexed by this music," he notes, squinting at the stage over the top of his cup.

Not that he's slowly edging closer to Jaye or anything.

"Well, it's punk. It's not everyone's style, but they definitely don't suck," Jaye says, not that she's noticing he's edging closer, which gives her no reason to smile into her punch cup.

"It's interesting," replies Archie, still looking at the stage with a touch of suspicion. "And very, erm, loud." He's not noticing that Jaye is smiling into her punch cup, which would deter him from continuing to edge closer.
