Homecoming Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening | Post I

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

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!

"Everyone seems to have trouble with priorities," said Hoshi. "I had plans over the summer to travel with someone, but I kept putting it off until it was too late."

"Maybe we should make a pledge, then," Ronan said. "Next time we talk, we'll both have done something we've been putting off."

"That sounds like a good idea," said Hoshi. "Of course, there's the problem of what happens if I keep putting off my next visit to Fandom," she added with a wink.

Ronan snorted. "Do we need a deadline?" he asked, chuckling. "It'd probably help me, anyway."

"Is the Christmas holidays too late for a deadline?" asked Hoshi. "Or maybe the American Thanksgiving holiday? Because that's something I did enjoy in Fandom and they don't celebrate it where I'm staying now."

Ronan poked at his brain -- and then, when he couldn't immediately recall it, the Knowledge -- for the date. "Yeah, that's... about a month away?" he asked. "That sounds good. I'll be more social, and you'll... do something else."

"I'll finally take that trip to the moon that I put off all summer," Hoshi decided.

"... If it's the moon you want," Ronan said, "I can take you up any time you want. Best place I know of to stop and think for a while."

"You would be one of the few people around here who have been to the moon," laughed Hoshi. "I've always wanted to see it every since they settled the lunar colonies. I'm sure the view is amazing."

"Try to go when there's a full Earth," Ronan suggested. "Or close to. There's nothing quite like it."

"I'll keep that in mind when I plan my trip," said Hoshi.
