"Yeah, now if only I could find a hat or something that would actually look semi-decent. I don't want to have people staring at my hair the whole night," he replied, tucking his hair back behind his ears.
"It's a bloody zoo in there. don't you think? By the way, have you seen Kitty anywhere? I wanted to talk to her about something," he added.

"I haven't seen her since we got here. I think she said she was going to Macy's," Penny shrugged, "I take it you're going to..."
Morgan's body language was enough answer for Penny's question. She smiled and nodded in understanding.
"Hey, I was hoping to find a date for Danielle so she didn't have to go alone. She's a nice enough girl but nobody knows her at the school."

"Penny!!!" Regina called, looking over her shoulder. "You should be helping us pick out the little stupid trinkets we're supposed to be wearing in our hair and stuff... I'm no good with the glittery things."
"Like I'm any better?" Penny asked, grinning.
"Oh hey Morgan. How's it going?" as if a second thought.
"So so..." he responded, waving a bit. "Mind if I join you?"
"If you want, though we're going to Claire's next... even I hate that store." Regina made a face that they both had to laugh at.
ooc: hope you didn't mind that morgan!

"Don't worry, We'll find you a hat along the way," Penny said ready to be done shopping. She could only take being girly for so long.
"Okay, let's make this quick," She said looking at her watch, "I'm about ready to get a migrane in this place. Too much perfume, inscense, and body lotion for my senses to take."
Regina laughed, "I couldn't agree more."
So that's what they did. On the way to Claire's they ran into a very well placed hat shop that had something perfect for Morgan. Penny, Regina, and Danielle found all the sparkly bits and bobbles they could stomach for their dresses. Once that was over, they high tailed it out of the mall before they were stomped on by a hurd of crazy teenager girls who were trying to get all their last minute shopping in before the final bell.
"I can breath!" Penny said as they threw their last back into the back of the van. One by one the rest of the girls surfaces: Noko, Kitty, Rogue, Gen, and so on. All with bags of stuff they didn't really need but it sure would be fun to wear for prom.
"Can we give you a lift home Morgan?" Penny asked and he accepted the offer. When she got into the driver's seat she said,"I think I'm going to pass out and not wake up until 3 tomorrow. Then we can get ready for prom."
OOC: The 'next day' is going to be prom night. So if you all want to start writing into tomorrow that's cool. It is a school day but of course, attendance is optional... like at my high school smile Well, full day attendance was optional.

Principal Kelly sighed as he noticed, despite the fact that school was over for the day, a rather sizable number of female students (and some of the more sexually ambiguous male ones) had lined up along the hallways of the school. He walked the length of them, which went on for nearly a hundred students before he came to the highly suspected, though no less irritating source of the problem.
"Mr. Maximoff, what in god's name is the meaning of this?" he asked as he stood in front of a rather large and complex-looking booth. "I was just here fifteen minutes ago! When did you have time to set this up? And is... is that the school's new workstation you've got operating back there!?!?"
"Sir, what with my rigorous campagning schedule, I've only had just now to determine my dates for the prom. Each of the fine women you see before you have had to fill out an extensive application to determine their date-ability, and I require quite a high-powered computer to go through them all."
Principal Kelly sighed as though he'd just lost another year of his life. "Mr. Maximoff... you don't honestly intend for me to believe you've done this for any reason other to further aggrivate me. And did I hear you say 'dates', plural?"
"Well, such a fine male specimen as myself can't, in good conscience, limit myself to a single woman. This level of perfection must be evenly distributed over a number of dates, not only for the sake of fairness, but for their own safety. Observe:"
With that, Pietro took the hand of the nearest girl, whispered something about her eyes being as blue as a crystal sea, raised his eyebrows at her, and kissed her fingertips. Despite the fact that she had brown eyes, she went weak in the knees with a blush.
Kelly, driven either by his further irritation, or possibly a hint of jealousy, turned to the crowd. "You have fifteen minutes to disperse or all your prom tickets will be void!" he shouted, and stormed down the hall.
"Fine," Pietro muttered, and zipped throughout the crowds with what seemed to be quite an odd level of speed to the average human. "You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You," he said as he pointed out the ten hottest girls. "The rest of you, better luck next year. And by better luck, I mean get boob jobs or face lifts. I'm not running a charity here."
The girls who were selected squealed in mindless adoration as the rest left, muttering sentiments of jealousy, anger, or both. Pietro didn't mind. They act as though they're anything less than beacons of inferiority, he thought with a bit of scorn. I'm doing them a favor just by acknowledging them.

Freya made a face. "Hot topic? Not really my kind of clothing..." However, she noticed Wanda's bickering stopped. Actually, she lost her somewhere in the store. She grinned. Maybe the goth girl has a thing for shopping after all.
It was more or less that actually. Wanda, thinking she was forced into this prom thing, decided to at least chose something that will go with her style and that wouldn't be blue, yellow, pink, cream, white, rainbow, shiny, glittering and so small that she'll feel naked in it. It was very challenging in the other shops but she thought this one would be her salvation.
She saw and heard one of the x-men complaining about the punk look to another girl. Wanda just ignored that, thinking this one didn't know what she was talking about. Besides, Freya never told her to be sexy.
"By the way, you have to be sexy," suddenly said Freya behind her.
"What...?"
"A prom is a place to flirt. I want you to be sexy and have fun."
"Look, if I have to go to this stupid dance in order to be taught something useful, fine. But if you keep changing the deal, I swear, I'm going to hurt you."
"Aww... You're not fun. Fine. Just be pretty then."
"It's not like I want to be idious out there either..." This is hell...

Noko and rogue searched and searched through the store. However managing to loose one another even though in all honesty the store wasnt that big. Heading out for some fresh air noko sighed. There had been nothing to her taste in there. Thats when she saw it. Her jaw dropped as she headed to the store. Standing infront of the window she smiled. It was the perfect dress. The dress itself was a deep burgendy color. With a low neckline and spaghetti straps. However the part that caught her attention was the lace. The lace was black and was very delicate and tiny. It was sewn with beads in intricate designs. The lace itself was attached to the bustline but parted in the front like an upside down v and hung loosely everywhere else. Heading inside she searched and managed to wrestle the dress away from another girl before heading in to try it on. She sort of felt like rose from titanic in it. And shook her head realizing that her jack was actually not going with her. Changing out of the floorlength dress she took it and thanked god that she had enough money. After paying for the dress she grabbed a fake diamond necklace and some gloves at the cheep accesory store and headed back to hottopic.
"By the way, you have to be sexy,"
"What...?"
"A prom is a place to flirt. I want you to be sexy and have fun."
"Look, if I have to go to this stupid dance in order to be taught something useful, fine. But if you keep changing the deal, I swear, I'm going to hurt you."
Noko almost started laughing. Walking over to the accessory aisle she picked out a cute little necklace that was made of colored stones forming cherries. Heading over to wanda she held it up grinning and winking. " cherries are sexy" she said slightly amused. " pair it with any dress and it will be sexy. There! problem solved"

"You going to class today?" Regina asked as their alarm went off. Penny rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"Optional means optional and that means you can hit snooze cause I'm sleeping in," Penny didn't have anything due or any tests to take so she really didn't care if she missed class this particular day. Most of the seniors weren't going to be there by tradition.
"Sounds good to me!" Regina thumped back down onto her pillow and set their alarm for a few hours later. When they finally woke up, it was at least noon. It seemed that probably half of the kids from the Institute stayed home for the same reasons. A few kids like Kurt and Bobby Drake got stuck going to school because they had some teachers who purposely scheduled exams so their students would show up.
"Did Bobby ever ask Gen to prom?" Penny asked Regina who nodded yes while being preoccupied with Mr. Porter down the hallway. Penny smiled and just shook her head saying nothing.
"Did you ever find Dani a date?" Regina aksed as they walked into the kitchen.
Penny shrugged, "Not officially. Matt, Jamie, and Sam [Guthrie] don't have dates as far as I know. The earlier two seemed content not going to prom, but Sam really wants to go. He's a nice farm boy. I think he'd show her a good time."
"Just don't disappoint. It's gotta be hard being the newest kid on the block," Regina said and pulled out some leftover pancakes from a morning feast it seemed.
Penny got the butter and syrup out and found some plates, "I never disappoint. It's not in my nature. Everybody should always have as much fun as me. If everybody did, the world would be a happy place."

Morgan finally managed to catch up with Kitty. He took a deep breath, gathered up his courage, and asked her.
"Kitty, if you're not already going with someone, would you... would you like to go to prom with me? I'd understand if you say no, seeing as how it's kind of last minute, and all, and I-" Morgan rambled.
"Okay."
"Buh?"
"I said "okay"," Kitty replied, giggling slightly.
{There, how was that?}

OOC: Sounds perfectly fine to me. I'm writing Morgan into lunch with us smile
IC:
Morgan walked into the kitchen and Penny offered him a plate of pancakes. He rubbed his hair, which looked like extreme bed head. She assumed he got up just as late as the rest of them.
"Hey Morgan, did you ever get to asking Kitty?" Penny asked.

"Well that was nice of this girl giving you an easy way to fill the conditions, don't you think?" told Freya to Wanda during the lunch hour. The goth girl just shrugged and muttered something that sounded like a positive answer. Freya grinned.
"Still mad about this prom thing huh?"
"You didn't thought me the trick you promised," said Wanda angrily.
"Now, now... Is that a way to ask a favor?"
"Stop toying with me, Freya!"
"Alright, sorry... As you know, the person I have in mind is your brother." A loud cracking noise is heard after those words were spoken. A tree had opened itself in two. "Wanda, control your temper..."
"He's in this school and I can't even twist his little neck. Hard for me to remain calm and collected."
"And you will still NOT hurt him. But you can make fun of him..."
"How's that?"
"At the prom, you can dazzle him with some of your magic powers. In a bad way for him of course..."
Wanda had an evil smirk on her face. "Now, you are getting somewhere with me..."

Jamie wandered down the stairs, shaking his hair out. He walked into the kitchen, and saw everyone standing around. "Hey Penny, can I get some pancakes?"
She nodded, and handed him a plate, so he sat down and attempted to drown them in syrup. He took a big bite, and when he had swallowed it, he looked up. "Have any of you seen Danielle?"

Sith Lord Darth Moren Morgan finally managed to catch up with Kitty. He took a deep breath, gathered up his courage, and asked her. "Kitty, if you're not already going with someone, would you... would you like to go to prom with me? I'd understand if you say no, seeing as how it's kind of last minute, and all, and I-" Morgan rambled. "Okay." "Buh?" "I said "okay"," Kitty replied, giggling slightly. {There, how was that?} OOC: Lance is gonna be pissed. Though I should say, Sith Kitten, that this gives you a damn good way of implementing that plan you told me about wink

"I'm, too sexy for my clothes, In a sexy sexy mode, Too sexy for my soap, So sexy you dopes!"
Pietro was singing in the shower, looking forward to a night full of dining, dancing, and making fools out of whoever he didn't like (or whoever got in the way). Suddenly, his head began ringing in a mix of pain and dizziness, which could only mean one thing.
Dad, have you ever thought about investing in a cell phone. You can get them for like a penny if you get the right plan, thought Pietro, his mind now connected electromagnetically with his father, thanks to a small implant in the back of his mind.
Well I thought about it but those overage costs... I mean, silence Pietro, I have news for you.
Well lay it on me dad.
I have detected some rather strange electromagnetic communications centered around your location. It is heavily encoded, Military grade.
Meaning?
It means a heavily armed task force of unknown origin has organized about one of the highest mutant populations in the country, and has somehow slipped under the many radars I have implanted in the area. Their signals are even protected by some manner of telepathic shielding, which leaves me wary of diving too deep lest I tip them off. Perhaps... it would be a good idea for you to bring your armor with you tonight.
Wow dad, is that parental concern I'm hearing? I'm almost touched.
Pietro heard a small laugh ring through his mind. If it were only that, I would trust you to be able to fend for yourself, as I trust the rest of your team will be. Rather... this celebration tonight. You appear to be the only mutant, whether Xavier's or mine, to be consorting with Homo Sapiens. I should HOPE that you are not intending to betray your race to some of your more... carnal instincts?
Don't worry dad. They're mindless trophies to me, nothing more.
See that they become nothing more. I should hate to see my future bloodline any further tainted... he stated with no small degree of contempt before the connection was broken.
Pietro stood silently in the shower for one of his few moments of real reverance. Despite everything Pietro had done for the man, it was obvious that Magneto still considered his birth to be a moment of weakness with a human woman, and Pietro was sure that his father would reverse the decision if he could. It was sobering, hurtful... but also strengthened his resolve.
"I'll show you old man..." Pietro said to himself for the thousandth time. "I'll make you proud..."

Penny pulled another plate out of the cabinet for Jamie, "Here you go, Jamie. Danielle's around. I don't think she got stuck having to go to school either."
Penny yawned and started to eat her own breakfast.
"Oh, what's the deal with the limos?" Regina randomly asked not sure if anybody knew what was really going on.
Penny finished chewing, "Kurt says that Jean booked two for him. So that should be enough for everybody who is planning on going. If Noko is still here and didn't return to the Brotherhood house, she can take the one with me since I have to go that way anyway."
"Is there going to be beer?" Somebody randomly asked as a joke, but Penny was pretty sure it wasn't. It was promk 75% of people wanted to do something illegal on that evening.
Penny shrugged, "As a student leader, I cannot answer that question with a yes. So take that as you will."
OOC: Not that I promote underage drinking wink I've been to proms I know what its like... well for some people. I hate to say that I was always a good little catholic school girl. ha
