Homecoming Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening | Post I

Glitter encrusted moosen stood guard in the entry to the transformed Town Hall, reminding all those in attendance that the night was about all things Canadian. Or things the Student Council had deemed Canadian - plus a whole lot of glitter.

Sparkly red maple leaves and paper geese hung from irridescent streamers, setting off the food tables as very much separate from the raised dance floor in case the terrifying papier-mâché beaver didn't make it obvious that the timbits were for eating. Or for dunking in the maple syrup fountain. Beyond pure sugar, there were plenty of bite-size portioned food and nonalcoholic beverages to push the theme into the bellies of all, no matter how tight the dresses!

Beyond the dance floor, the shadowy corners glowed with the twinkle of glittery maple leaf garland and a Joni Mitchell inspired moose that had been strategically positioned to look rather tragic in its lyric-covered glory. Yes, glory. For the evening was to be glorious. Or at the very least entertaining.

Welcome to your 2011 Homecoming Dance!

"So you'd just rather be friends who never talk to each other? That sounds stupid." Hey, people who cared about his bluntness didn't hang out with guys who reeked of death, okay?

"Well of course it sounds stupid when you say it out loud like that," Luke said stubbornly. "It's better than the alternative."

'Cause he really was miserable when they were fighting all the time.

"Can't you just lie? I mean, I'm a pretty decent liar, but you're tons better than me. If you don't want to argue with him over it, just lie. Tell him how you almost died and had to get saved by me and earn some sympathy." Right, because it was that easy with Percy.

"Oh, believe me, I plan on lying when it comes to that," Luke said. "I'm just...putting it off for as long as possible."

It was strategy, not cowardice. Really.

"What are you even doing here anyway?" Yes, the weirdness of Nico at a dance just hit him.

Yeah, it was weird to Nico, too. "I thought I'd see someone here," he shrugged. "Don't worry, I wasn't planning on dancing."

"I wouldn't mind it if you danced," Luke said. "It'd give me something to laugh at."

"Yeah, I'm definitely not dancing now," Nico informed him. "You should get out there. A bunch of cute girls showed without dates." Hey, one of them sometimes liked girls, after all.

"Really?" he asked, looking around. "Most everyone I've seen seems to be attached to someone else."

Or maybe it just seemed that way 'cause he wished he had shown up with someone else.

"Yeah, I was kind of lurking by the doors for a while before I wandered over here."

Shh, Nico couldn't help being kind of a creeper.

Luke lifted his eyebrows. "Were you lurking on purpose?"

"No more than usual," Nico admitted.

And fine, so maybe he was hoping to see Jason here and he'd hung out in the doorway waiting and noticed who did show up. There was nothing wrong with that!

Sure, nothing wrong with that aside from the fact it was totally creepy. "You didn't see Percy while you were lurking, did you?"

Hey, if Nico was gonna be a creeper Luke was gonna take advantage of it.

"Nope, no other demigods hanging around," Nico said, feeling a little sorry for Luke about that whole deal. "You should call him or something."

"I'll call him when you call Jason." Yeah, Luke hadn't noticed him around.
