Koori thought for a long while about it. "Ah... um... I like black.... blue... and red. Mama says I look good in white," she said to Noni. The girl pushed her hair out of her face.
"Yea... black, blue and red."

Flitting through the catalogue, Sam eyed all the gussied-up men in pressed suits. And he knew it would suck to be them. Their necks mushrooming over the tops of their too-tight ties, every strand of hair in it's perfect spot, and cuff links of any kind imaginable of gemstone.
Disgusted, Sam quickly closed the book. He knew he wasn't going to find any camo in there.
Putting his hands in his back pockets, he stretched back his shoulders, and then leaned forward to stretch his back. While there, at his feet, was a little vudoll with brown yarn for hair.
"Why hello there," he tried to say in his most fatherly voice.
But she was already off and gone, clutching what must be her mama, very tightly.
Sam was disheartened by all what was happening. This wasn't how he imagined it. But then, he didn't really know how he imagined it. His green eyes searched the room for a familiar face. There were a few. He remembered Lollirot, Greed and Grim from that one day in the city. That seemed so long ago.
And then he saw Noni.
His childhood crush. The first girl, no woman! to ever dance with him. At his birthday!
He wanted to run over to her, to tell her that they were finally the same age. That maybe something could happen, and their mothers couldn't interfere. Because they were both the same!
As smooth as he could, he walked over to her and smiled.
"Haven't seen you in awhile, Noni!"

..........Noni wasn't a fool. She had known Lollirot since she was just a doll... And she also knew never to trust something 'edible' made by someone so... So unique.
.........."Umm, no thank you!" She chimed, smiling. "I'm a little bit busy now with Koori's outfit. I wouldn't want to get my hands dirty before I touched her fabrics," As she reasoned, she darted straight over to the fabric bolts, retrieving the mentioned colors. She looked at the fabric, then up at Lollirot, feigning disappointment.
.........."Maybe later, okee? So, Koori, out of these colors, which do you like best? To be the base of the dress... We can do details in another color, but..." Her voice stopped suddenly, her jaw hanging open, eyes staring up in awe. There stood Sam- only a much older Sam! Finally, he'd grown into his head, filled out in the shoulders, gotten muscled, tanned... The list of pleasing adjectives grew longer and longer as Noni stared at the teenager. It would seem Bryxn had completely "forgotten" to tell Noni of this development, and now all she could do was stand there, completely frozen by shock!
.........."H... Hullo Sam..." she breathed, dropping her eyes. The bolts of fabric were spread across the floor. When had she dropped them? Blushing furiously, she knelt down and began to tidy them. She tried her best to hold them all in her shaking arms, but it didn't seem to go so well. They continually slipped from her grasp, unraveled, and ended up on the floor once more. Frustrated and undignified, she stood up. Adjusting her loose-fitting tank top and smoothing down her masses of curly hair, she stared up into Sam's deliciously green eyes. "And how are you?"

"I-I'm doing fine I guess... You look pretty busy here." Sam gestured towards the fabric strewn across the floor in front of her. "Here, let me help you with these." He picked up a few rolls of the fabric, and set them on the table, seeing as it looked like Noni was having troubles holding on to them.
"So are you helping out with the prom or-?" he didn't know what else to say. Of course, he didn't know a thing about proms, or anything much else. She could even be doing a project for school, or babysitting some of the younger vudolls.
What a stupid thing to ask her! he thought to himself. I should've just asked her what she was doing... Oh man, I don't want this to be as bad as last time!
He forced a smile, and shrugged his shoulders. His cheekbones felt increasingly hot, as if someone had dipped them into molten steel and put them back in his face.
If there was one thing his mama hadn't taught him yet, out of many things. It was how to talk to girls.

"You think he is...or was once a fluff like us?" asked Urami to Zippo. "He looks like the same age as mom or like your daddy."
Tomoko got up and walked over to Urami-Viola to see how she was. "Is everything okay Urami?" she asked happily.
"I'm having fun," replied Urami cheerfully. "This is Zippo, mommy! He's real nice and his daddy is the deee jaaaay."
"The disk jockey huh?" said Tomoko. She looked at Zippo. She smiled at him and fluffed his hair. "Please play safe."

Koori looked behind her at Sam. She blinked, then looked back at Noni. Why were their cheeks so red? She titled her head to one side and back again. She edged away from Sam and bumped up against Noni's legs. It wasn't that she didn't like Sam; she didnt' even know him, it was just... he was a boy. Boys... they all seemed to be so much like him...

"Yeah...I tink so. He din'n come in wiff no one..." Zippo pondered, tugging at his zipper in thought. "Yeah, I tink he was a fluffly like us at one point."
"Hi!" Zippo waved to UV's mommy, giving her a big grin as his hair was ruffled. "M'kay, we will. I pwomise~"

Will joined me in the corner.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head and he reached for my hand again.
I stared back at the table where Noni was fixing dresses. She was talking to the guy who was near Rose. Both of them had bright red faces, and were absentminedly fiddling with their hair or clothes, or the material on the table. I heard Will chuckle.
"Just because I will always love you--!" He sang in a low voice. I giggled and watched as the two teens made forced conversation, looking flustered. I felt sorry for them, but at the same time, really happy. They were so cute together!

A young woman whose strands of short, dark-brown hair peeked out from under the top hat she wore, stuck her head through the front doorway. After a quick glance around, she came the rest of the way in and closed the door as quietly as she could. Lisbeth bit her lip as she noticed the large amount of people and dolls. Odd, but strangely, not overly alarming. The girl dusted off her skirt as she moved out of the way of anyone who might want to enter behind her. She looked around again. No one she knew... Oh well.

Devon walks clumsily to a corner and sits down, his legs spread out infront of him. He watches the party in front of him, and looks down at the ground a bit, murrmuring "Devon wishes her could play too....."

.........."Th-thank you..." she murmured, eyes lowered as they tidied the fabric together. She was nervous and jittery, until he broke the ice with a simple question.
.........."I'm head seamstress for the prom!" Noni replied, feeling a bit more confident. "Because Vudolls tend to be all shapes and sizes, we figured we'd make everything custom. I happen to be the most.... needle-inclined girl around, so I had myself a job! I was just helpin' Koori here with dress plans," She set her hands on Koori's shoulders as she backed against her, as if to steady the young girl. Her blush began to fade, feeling a little more secure with someone between her and Sam's rippling flesh...
.........."A-are you here to help out with something? Have you got a tux already, or do you need one? Or just a tie or something, maybe?" she sped through the questions, tripping over the occasional word, but not ruining any sentences too badly.

Liss spotted an empty table and quickly made her way over to it. She smiled to the others in the room as she passed, trying oh, so carefully not to run into anyone. The girl tugged at a stray lock of hair that had slipped out from under her hat as she sat down. She had spotted a few people that she knew in passing, but not enough to just walk up and start talking.

Tomoko gave another smile and patted UV's head. "I know how troublesome you really are, don't be like that." said Tomoko with a stern face to Urami.
Urami nodded and smiled at Tomoko and back to Zippo. Tomoko went back and sat down while UV saw Zippo's questionable face. "It's nothing real bad, Zippo," said UV. "Just that..."
Urami paused for a moment and thought of the word her mom used. "She's Swadenfreeud...?"
She never actually heard the word being pronounced. She only saw it being written on huge letters. Tomoko never told her how to pronounce it, but Urami did her best. "Schadurnfrued..."
Urami shook her head and then smiled again at Zippo. "Something like that."

Understanding, she placed the platter on her head once more. She had an unnerving amount of natural balance--Especially someone as jumpy as she. "Noni is busy!" She announced pointing to the working needle-slave, making sure that everyone knew that she was busy. To not taste her creation, that must have meant that she wasn't just kidding. So, being the good girl she tries hard to be, left her and the pretty blue-haired girl alone.
Another woman caught her eye, she sat alone, and tried to look all 'emo'. Emo being a term Vivi said a lot.
The strange brunette didn't even try to talk to anyone. Or do much of anything in particular.
"Wanna try something delicious?" She almost ran to the woman, dipping her head like before and offering her some of her dieing rainbow treats.

Greed randomly tossed through some decorations she had brought before. Ribbons, bows, streamers, and random colored pieces of tissue fell to the floor and beneath her feet as she salvaged through them looking for a perfect tone. Randomly grabbing a deep orange going on brown, she held it up to Grim. "Oi, Grim...Do you think this would be a good color to decorate by the DJ stuff?" she asked.
Grim stared at her with a menacing look before sighing and replying, "I don't care." Tossing his bangs out of his eyes, he sat at the edge of the table, more swirls and twirls of streamers and decorations spewing at the table's ground.
Greed glared at her ever lazy brother and frowned. "I didn't volunteer you here to sit around and be lazy!" she stressed as she tugged on her brother's loose arm making him topple over on the table spilling more colored sheets. "We are here to decorate! Not supervise!" she yelled at him again.
Grim pushed her off and kept his straight demeanor. "Well. I didn't ask for this." he simply said.
Having the nerve to just pull his ivory locks out of his head, Greed cooled herself with just a couple of breaths. "Grim, help me please?" she asked, grinding her teeth at the polite grammar she had spoken.
"That's more like it." he grinned as he hopped off the table. "Now which color..." he asked stretching his eyes over most of the decorations on the floor at his ankles.
