So this prom isn't just for the high school kids, right? I've always wanted to go to one! They always seemed really swell. The kids have lots of fun.

But I need a date! So who wants to go with me? I'm a real good dancer!


[Later, Phonecall to Canada]

Hey. I need to talk with you.

Prom? What the hell is a prom?

[redwhiteandhero]

It's a dance! And everyone dresses up and has a great old time.

[last_to_kneel]

[The wince is practically heard.]

Sounds uncomfortable. Wait...is that where the bloke's gotta buy a corsage and wear a tux while the sheilas are wearin' big poofy dresses? I think I've seen it in a movie once.

[redwhiteandhero]

That's it exactly!

[last_to_kneel]

Ergh...guess it's an American thing. Never even heard of it 'til now. We had formals, sure, but they're mostly award dinners and there were no dates required. Kinda relieved the pressure, ya know.

[redwhiteandhero]

Well, you could go without a date I guess, but then you'd kinda be a loser.

[last_to_kneel]

Oy! It's not like I can't get one! Geez, mate, get off that box. I'm not a loser!

[redwhiteandhero]

You said it, buddy, not me.

[last_to_kneel]

Ugh, you're annoying. I got a girlfriend. It's not what I'm used to is all, sheesh.

[redwhiteandhero]

You're the annoying one.

[last_to_kneel]

Don't turn this around on me. I'm not American. Can't change that either. 'Sides, my girl is Japanese.

[redwhiteandhero]

An' that's supposed to make you not annoying?

[last_to_kneel]

It makes me proud. Who I choose t' be with is my decision no matter the nationality. Get over it.

[redwhiteandhero]

You're the one makin' a big deal out of it all. You're not some kind of commie, are you?

[last_to_kneel]

[He lets out a boisterous laugh.]

Hell no! I'm Australian.

[redwhiteandhero]

That ain't what I asked, is it?

[last_to_kneel]

[Varon lets out a frustrated sigh.]

Never mind. If I gotta explain it to ya, the joke's lost.

[redwhiteandhero]

It's not a joking matter, pal.

[last_to_kneel]

It's just a stupid prom. You're gettin' all worked up over somethin', aren't ya?

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm not talking about the prom!

This thread....XD Oh lord!

[last_to_kneel]

Then what are ya gettin' at?

[redwhiteandhero]

I asked you if you were a goddamn commie, and you dodged the question. That's mighty suspicious, bucko.

[last_to_kneel]

Oy.

[The sound of his hand slapping his face is heard.]

No. I'm not a damn Commie.

[redwhiteandhero]

... I'm keeping my eye on you, kid.

[last_to_kneel]

If I ain't got enough people watchin' me, sure, I'll welcome one more for the audience.
