Both Edmund and Willow were shocked by Theo but in totally different ways. Edmund was more surprised he really just totally ignored himself and Aiden, but then Edmund was always very polite. He guessed he couldn't be too bothered about it in this situation though, catching Theo's attention was what Willow wanted most out of this night and she certainly seemed to have it. Willow on the other hand was shocked that her tactic worked, and seemingly very well. All of that intense bee attention was all focused on her, and on top of it he thought she looked great.
Him, Theo, The Bee Boy, thought she, Willow, The Flower looked great. She broke out into a bit of a pleased blush and a grin at Theo, and that's when Edmund decided maybe he should just go over and talk to Aiden since obviously they didn't exist to Willow or Theo anyway. He slid behind Theo and closer to Aiden, but before he could open his mouth he was joined by Gavin.
"Hey guys, how're you tonight? I'm just going to stand here with you guys while I spy on Theo and Willow, carry on." Gavin said in a hushed tone. Again Edmund couldn't be too mad at Gavin's rudeness since it was in the name of keeping tabs on his friend and their sister but he wished he'd taken the time to ACTUALLY acknowledge him and Aiden.
"Don't worry we won't blow your cover...Anyway Aiden, yeah we should grab some snacks before they're all gone."
Willow didn't even notice the departure of Edmund and Aiden, she was too busy looking at Theo.
"Thanks, I'm really glad you think so. But I guess we are a set, imagine that." Her eyes took on a mischievous twinkle. It hadn't taken her long to recover from her shock, and the positive attention from her crush was boosting her self confidence by tenfold. "You're looking really great too by the way." She smiled wider and gave his costume a little once over. "It's very you." She giggled just a little. Where had that girly giggle come from, she wondered. Was this what having a crush did to you?
"Oh it'll look much better like that." Kei replied to his Ask gleefully before his eyes sparkled adoringly at the 'but only with you' comment. "Great, let's go." Kei pulled back but held on to Ask's hand and led him out to the dance floor.
"Hmm I guess you're right they do belong together." More like they deserved each other, she thought to herself. It wasn't something she was going to say out loud though. "But I bet you can get even better if you keep at it. I've been drawing some lately too, I'll have to remember to bring them next time we hang out so you can see and give me pointers."

"Of course I caught you." Cambria said cheekily, "Like I'd let you get away. But I do suggest we get something to drink, I'm parched." She said, watching her spin with a smile.
Ask grinned widely as he and Kei went out onto the dance floor. He was hoping for a bunch of slow songs, now that those silly girls were heading off of the floor. All the better to cuddle dance Kei.
"I don't want to look good in a dress." Trae mumbled to himself. "Thanks, I guess..." He said a bit louder before Altair took a tiny detour to the brownies.
"Hey look, marshmallow snowme- Oh my god, Hinote why are you in your nightgown?" Sha started a bit louder so the other two could hear him then almost jumped when he realized who else couldn't resist the lure of the marshmallows.
Trae's eyebrows went racing for his hairline. Hinote was here in her nightgown, what? He looked away from Altair a moment to look where Sha was. Typically right smack by the marshmallows.

Tobi started a bit when Vic spoke. He wasn't very used to it, and hearing him sound angry was startling and made his nerves go all aflutter. "But.. why are you okay with that?" He didn't really understand why someone would be okay with being hit all the time...
"Oh no need to thank me, its a holiday gift from me to you, the fortunate to the less fortunate... so on and so forth." Echo nodded, grinning fin to fin. "So. What colors do you like, Alexander?"
Well, that was quite the entrance. Aiden blinked a few times, looking Theo over... He seemed... not trustworthy, to say the least. But, Willow seemed to like him so she was content with accepting that. And then Gavin slid over. Talk about awkward... She looked to Edmund when he spoke, and nodded. "Yes, good idea." She shuffled off to the snack table, both happy to be out of that awkward zone, but also a bit nervous to be on her own with Edmund.
"I hope so." Silas nodded a little, then grinned. "Oh yes, I wanna see. I bet yet doin reel good, y'did reel good the first time we draw'd." He nodded a little more, and looked around. "There'sa lotta peeple I dunno here..."
Altair looked up from her brownie gathering to see who Sha was talking to... wow she really was in a nightgown. What sort of costume was that? Wendy from Peter Pan? She shuffled back over to Sha and Trae, and then leaned over to Trae, then whispered, "is she supposed to be Wendy from Peter Pan or something...?"

Scanning the room as she wandered through the crowd, feeling a bit shy for once. Wondering if she should just suck it up and introduce herself to strangers, when she saw Gavin. 'Oh thank everything striped and sparkling.' Speaking of striped she noticed a bee and a flower near him and giggled to herself as she crossed the dance floor to approach her one acquaintance. They seemed to be a matched pair if she ever saw one, and cute as well. Almost made her wish she was old enough to be serious about anything.
As the fairy got closer to him she couldn't help but be amused with his costume, which she was sure wasn't selected to get a reaction from her regardless of it doing so. She had been planning to simply walk up and say hello, but such a costume demanded further action. Temptation was too much to not be reckless.
Eira pulled out her phone and draped her arm around his shoulder, stretching up to plant an innocent but ice cold kiss on his cheek. Snapping a photo before pulling back and giving him a smirk. "Hey! Sorry couldn't resist Jack Frost."

"No...don't..I just...." He stopped himself as he somehow began to feel as if he felt his anger slowly slipping away but why? He was suppose to be angry at how this parent treated this kid and how a parent like that didn't deserved to have a child. The adult balled up his fist but slowly they went back to a relaxed fashion. Sighing he looked over to his son and spoke in a calmer voice as he pet Tobi's head. "Don't be sorry." Vic looked back to Tori with a serious expression. "It shouldn't be that way. You shouldn't have a parent that treats you like that in anyway. A parent should love their kid and if I could I'd take you away from them and over to my house even though Moira would just make me take you back or talk with your parents. Some bullsh- I mean stuff." Vic coughed seeing that he came so close to cursing in front of children. "But yeah. If I keep hearin' that someone is beatin' you then I'm takin' charge. Got it kid. No kid should feel that kind of pain. Not under my watch." It was the most Vic had talked in a while and Moira would be happy about that fact but it had to deal with something Vic felt strongly about. He wasn't just going to let it slide like nothing.
Yoo couldn't help but laugh a little as well as he helped the girl get back up to her feet. That sad feeling about Santa being evil slowly faded away. "It's ok. I hear a lot of ghost types with that power have that same problem at first but if you practice enough I think you'll get better at controlling it." He gave he a small smile and a pat on the head. "Watch in no time you'll be phasing through anything without a problem but I'm not a ghost expert. Though maybe I should learn more about them since my son is a ghost." For a moment he thought about his little Kenny and how he wished he was here to enjoy everything. Oh how he missed him and his messy hair and over all cuteness. Yoo sighed deeply the more he thought about it.

"Yes yes, you are the best out of the both of us." She chuckles, looking up at the ceiling and noticing a mistletoe. What was it that someone had to do under the mistletoe...?
Oh. Right. Frederique turns red, glancing at Cambria. There was also that one thing she had to tell her... Fred decided right on the spot, quickly kissing Cambria on the cheek before pointing up at the mistletoe.
"Well, she does it all the time...So I don't really care anymore." He pats Vic's shoulder, his wings flapping nervously "I have an older brother. She's nice to him, so I don't mind. She's just angry cause I know about the bad things she does. She's not really good at hiding her emotions. Don't worry bout me."
Phyl smiles, having completely forgotten about santa claus and his dastardly deeds "You Tock have a son? What Tick is he like?" Phyl liked talking to nice parents. It really put into perspective for her about what real parenting is like.

"Colours?.. Um... I like reds! And greys are always nice... but, um, any colours work, if you think they will! Greens, maybe? I don't really know, I'm not the best at the whole clothing thing." Alexander shrugs, looking a little nervous. He never really considered clothing colour important, it seems. Nevertheless, he smiles, happy to have already made a friend, even if the idea may only be one-sided.

Hank flushed a bit, and tried not to hold Adeline's hand too tightly, as excited as he was to be holding it.He felt like this was a moment long-awaited, and he was going to try to make it last and enjoy it now. He held her hand firmly, but did not squeeze it, and led her out far enough that they were definitely on the dance floor, but not in the center of it. "Not very much," he said, "but I know how. My mom went through a phase when she wanted to learn how to dance, and she made me go to the classes with her."
Made was the correct word - in that she threatened to take his car away if he did not go with her. As unwilling as he had been to go, he was kind of happy he had been forced into it now. He had some kind of preparation for being here with Adeline. "So I don't know recent dances, I only know old ones. Like, the Foxtrot, the Charleston, the box step, things like that. I never graduated up to the salsa and the tango, but I can do a little bit."
"Well, it has to be nice to be needed! If your dad is counting on you, you have something to do. Maybe you can incorporate helping him into following what you want to do, or discovering what you want to do! It definitely better than having nothing at all."
Hinote did her best to look haughty and mysterious. "I'm the Lady of the Lake, Sha. Note the hair?" She shook her hair around. There was a lot of it, and, thanks to the gel and the floofiness she couldn't get rid of, it did look wet and floaty. "The magic sword?" She held the plastic sword across her palms. "I gave Excalibur to Arthur. Be happy I'm gracing you with my presence, tonight. I was going to go on a raid myself. Hi, Trae! Oh no, did you let Sha pick out your costume?!"

"I don't know, but I'm sure she has a reason..." Trae trailed off to Altair when Hinote began speaking. Lady of the Lake, hm. Yes, he could see it.
"Oh. Well now that you say it, I can totally see it. I'm glad you're here!" Sha said enthusiastically while snagging a marshmallow snowman.
"How could you guess, Hinote? Of course he picked it out. Never letting him do that ever again." Trae said rolling his eyes hard.
"By the way." Sha said with his mouth full of snowmen bits. "This's Altair, dunno if you've met 'er yet."
Cambria was surprised by the sudden kiss to her cheek, and following Fred's pointing she could see something green and white above their heads. Oh god. Mistletoe. Amazing. "Flippy. You do know that Mistletoe means kissing on the mouth right? Cause I'm so not going to be ok with just cheek kisses." She said with a wide grin. Oh yeah. Kisses. Going to make it happen.

"Yes I do. His name is Kenneth but he's not with me right now." A sad look came to his face but he then smiled. "He's ok thought since he's with my parents. He's still really small. He laughs at nearly anything that's funny and just seeing him laugh or smile makes you want to do it too. He's really a good boy and I do wish that he was here with me." Yoo sighed deeply and his sad look came back. "I really do miss him but maybe I should stop talking about him since I'm only making myself sad." He forced a smile on his face as he looked to the little girl. Then looked again back around the room. There were so many people even a few couples who were showing each other affection. It made him blush seeing such display and thinking if he would do that anytime soon. His face grew even a darker shade of red the more he thought about it, making him want to cover his face.

"Bad things?" Tobi tilted his head a little. He looked up at Vic a bit, then back down to Tori. He wasn't sure if he had heard his father speak that much at once yet. It was kind of nice, yet kind of disappointing.
"Red and gray, huh? I suppose I can build some outfits out of that. Maybe with a hint of green..." Echo nodded a little, already imagining the clothes he was going to get. "By the end of this you will be a fashion..." he paused, thinking, "novice." Yes, just a novice. Echo reserved the title of "expert" for himself.
"Y-yeah, its definitely nice to be needed." He nodded a little and smiled. "I guess I could look at it that way, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you, Isolde."
Altair waved a little at Hinote. Her costume certainly was good, especially since she was just wearing a nightgown. "Nah, we haven't met. My dad is ridiculously protective and gets all anxious if I wander around too much. Hahaa, nice to meet you." She grinned a little wider.

It was really beyond Theo's realm of caring that maybe he had insulted a few people, and was barely aware when the group seemed to morph away from him. Seriously, he had more important matters to attend to. A grin broke out across his face after Willow gave him a positive response, which was basically a green light for him to keep going even if that was his plan no matter what. "Yeah, imagine that happening." He agreed shortly, taking another step forward as if to further cut them off from the group he just broke up. "Thanks, I was actually thinking of wearing that same dress, but I think it works better on you. A lot better. We both made the right choice." He noticed her high pitched giggle, and acknowledged it mentally with an internal nod. Yeah, same. If he were a girl wearing a flower dress in this situation, he would have giggled too - hypothetically speaking. "So.. speaking of matching sets, you didn't happen to come here with someone did you?"
Adeline found the level of hand-holding quite acceptable, and for a moment she looked down to smile at the floor as she considered a mix of emotions. So maybe the whole affair was a little awkward, but this kind of thing never happened for her, and that made it pretty thrilling. However, after getting the response about his dancing ability, she let out a short sheepish laugh coupled with a shrug of her shoulders. It was great that he had some formal training, it's just too bad that she hadn't. None of her knowledge of dancing really branched into those areas, unfortunately. "Oh, but that's great! I think we can figure something out between the two of us. I bet it was annoying at the time, but it's a useful skill. I wish my mom would have bothered to learn something like that." As she said this, she swayed a little, trying to find the tempo of the music. She also kept a searching look on Hank as she lifted her free hand, trying to determine what exactly would be appropriate to do with it.

"Novice is an improvement! Thanks again!" Alexander gives his best smile, excited to see what he'll end up wearing, even if he's never really put all too much thought into it before - thinking of it as an adventure.

"Well I don't know if I've gotten really good, but I think I'm better then the last time at least." Nadia looked around a little. "Hmmm you're right though... I guess I don't know a lot of these people either. It's kind of strange to think about considering how long we've been here...."
Luckily for Kei and Ask, and for maybe a few other of the couples on the dance floor, the next song to start playing was a slow song. Kei grinned at this since he'd been hoping for slow songs too. He slid his arms around Ask's neck and moved in closer, swaying slightly to the music and gazing lovingly up into his eyes.
Nadia swayed to a stop as the music slowed down to something slow. She didn't mind slow dancing with Silas if he wanted, though she didn't have a particular desire to do so. "So what now? Do you want to dance some more or should we go say hello to some people? Or whatever, I'm open to other options."
Gavin would have pouted to himself if pouting were a thing he did as Edmund and Aiden drifted away totally blowing his cover. Though it seemed luck was in his favor as usual as Theo and Willow were oblivious, but even better Eira waltzed up and snapped a picture while kissing his cheek. He was surprised at how cold her lips were at first, but then thought better of being surprised about it as she did seem to be made of ice. He'd managed to arrange his face out of surprise into a cheeky wink for the camera before she snapped the picture and he grinned at her as she pulled away.
"I like to think it's me who's irresistible but I see why Jack Frost might be more your type." He winked teasingly. "But hey, you look really great. The school girl look is good on you." He paused a moment to pick up on Theo and Willow' conversation. When had Theo gotten so smooth? Gavin had to wonder if maybe Theo had picked up a few things from watching Gavin at work picking up girls and guys before. He also noticed Edmund was still Sir Oblivious over there and hadn't even noticed Yoo yet.
"Uh could you give me a moment?" He smiled at Eira apologetically before tapping Edmund on the shoulder. "Hey Edmund, if you're looking for Yoo he's right over there." Gavin jabbed his thumb in Yoo's direction.
Edmund looked over in the direction Gavin was pointing in kind of a startled manner. He really wondered how Gavin could keep track of so many things at once sometimes. Once his eyes fell on Yoo though he broke out into a happy grin. Yoo really looked great dressed up as a cop.
Gavin almost felt bad for pointing it out, especially since he knew about Aiden's feelings for Edmund. In the end though he figured it was up to her to say something about it, and he didn't want Edmund to miss out on his chance at a new relationship.
"Oh... thanks Gavin. He gave his brother a grateful smile before turning back to Aiden. "So I think I'd like to go say hi to Yoo....did you want to come meet him? He didn't want to leave Aiden all by herself, but also he did want Yoo to meet his best friend at some point and visa versa.
Having played cupid yet again for the evening, Gavin turned back to Eira. "Sorry about that. Had to clue in my brother to where his date was. I'm all yours now though."
Willow laughed a bit more at the joke of Theo maybe wearing the same dress, her eyes sparkling with humor. Then he'd asked her if she came with anyone. She almost replied that she had, she'd come with her whole family, but it occurred to her before she spoke that Theo didn't mean like that. He was asking her if she'd come with a date. Suddenly she could feel her heart speeding up, beating even faster then it had been before.
"Oh! No... other then helping my siblings drag Edmund in here I'm quite unattached. What about you?" She could only assume he was if he was asking her that but... one never knew and it seemed like a natural question to ask. She really hoped his answer was the same as hers.

Vic's anger rose once again as he heard the details but he tried hard to keep them in check. He had even balled up his fist so much that his nails were digging into the palm of his hand. Breathing a few times in and out his anger began to fade but not completely. Looking to Tori he placed his hands on his shoulder as he looked seriously at him. "If you EVER need any type of help or what ever you can come to my house or up to me if you see me. Here I'll give you directions." Digging into his pocket he pulled out a crumbled up piece of notebook paper and a pen as he wrote directions down then handed it to Tori. "I wrote down how to get from the school to our place. Right now me, my wife, and my son here live there but you can come anytime. Moira won't mind one bit."
As Yoo tried to get the blush from his face to disappear he spotted someone signaling in his direction. Looking over he noticed that he was Gavin right next to the guy in the armor. A confused look came to his face before he looked away wondering if it was just his imagining or if he was actually pointing to him. He tried to remember if he had did anything to him but he got nothing. He hadn't talked to him since the sleep over so it only fueled to confuse him more. All the while that he thought he rubbed crossed his arms trying to think about it but the more he did the more he confused himself.
