fandomtownies | Arms Hotel Ballroom, Monday Evening

The hotel's staff had never worked a Darling birthday party before. By the time Juliet was done working them over and making sure everything looked right and sounded right and was almost as good as it would have been in New York, it was entirely possible they never would again. Still, the room looked amazing, so Juliet figured it was worth it.

The ballroom had been set up for a party, with a DJ booth to the side of the stage where Hannah Montana was scheduled to perform, a dance floor taking up most of the center of the room, and a few tables and chairs off to the side for wallflowers. Most of the drinks available were non-alcoholic, but there was probably some champagne around if you asked nicely or bribed the bartender. A gold -and-silver banner hung over the stage:

Happy 17th Jeremy & Juliet!

(And yes, there'd been some spirited discussion as to whose name went first. Alphabetical order carried the day.) A ~~completely handwavy~~ email had been sent out days before inviting the student body to the party; now all that was left was to wait for the guests.

"I can't decide whether to be disappointed or just glad I didn't miss anything," Jeremy mused. "But New York was... pretty uneventful too. Guess that's going around right now."

"I guess," Juliet agreed, a little disappointed. "There should be at least something exciting, but I guess that's why we're having a party."

"Pretty much." He tilted his head, pondering. "Maybe our birthday is the exciting thing. Jules, we're seventeen, I mean, that's pretty awesome, right?"

"So not complaining about it," Juliet had to agree. "And we had a party with a concert."

She leaned against him. "I think this may just be our year." Their year for what, she wasn't sure -- it wasn't like they were graduating anytime soon -- but definitely somehow their year.

"Yeah," Jeremy agreed, wrapping his arm loosely around her. "I mean... In a year we'll be eighteen."

The world should just tremble before that fact.

"I know," Juliet said, nestling in. "And then nobody will stop us."
