Reason-y reasons.

[ UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Wait, so. You're...not going with anyone yet?

[ yes, dave. that WOULD be the assumption, here. ]

[spelltastic]

If you don't want to tell me, you can just say so.

[ UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Nope. I was going to go with the girls [ just the general gaggle of girls ] but they all have dates already, so I was just going to go by myself.

[ which is. clearly different than dave going by himself?? ]

[parodeity]

[ apple white is going alone? or, well, with friends who have dates. but. ALONE? she's so pretty, though??? and like, it's not even just that she's pretty. or hot. which she is also. apple is like genuinely one of the nicest fucking people dave knows. to EVERYONE. and she's smart. like science levels of smart. and she's so enthusiastic about...everything.

and her name is apple? and she laughs at his jokes, which frankly are not that funny sometimes. and she's let him teach her a little about rap and she picks up slang like it's nbd and slings it back at him and always insists on saying excellent as hexcellent.

how the fuck has no one asked her to go with them? how the fuck does daring charming go around flirting with any other girl who is not apple white? ]

You...seriously? Didn't you get asked by like, everyone?

[ because how could everyone NOT ask her? ]

[spelltastic]

[ daring charming is too busy being shipped with cerise and lizzie. or maybe with exchange students he's secretly dating, idk, jane crocker or something now. either way we all know he has no taste. ]

Not everyone! [ she tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear ] A few did ask me, but... I guess I was hoping someone else would?

[ "how could everyone not ask her" SAYS DAVE, WHO DID NOT ASK HER EITHER ]

[parodeity]

[ HE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING WITH SOMEONE ELSE????????? AND. HOW DO YOU ASK GIRLS ON DATES??????????? ]

Doyouwanttogowithme.

[ fuck

probably not like that.

dave covers his face with one hand. SMOOTH, DUDE. ]

[spelltastic]

[ THE SAME WAY YOU ASK GUYS BUT LESS GAY, DAVE ]

... Huh? I'm sorry, you know I don't speak Riddlish.

[ so smooth, dave, just incredible. ]

[parodeity]

[ YOU'RE ASSUMING HE'S ANY BETTER AT THAT. ]

I. Uh. Would you maybe want to...you know? Go with me? As a date. Not as a friend-date. I mean, as a friend-date if you want. But I mean, like. A real date? With...dancing and shit. Not that the friend-date would be bereft of dancing, if you would prefer that. But, uh. Yeah.

[ shit ]

[spelltastic]

[ it takes apple a moment, but then she covers her mouth with a gasp. another moment later she giggles and claps her hands together happily. ]

I'd love that! I mean, as a real date-- er, unless you meant you preferred a friend-date that'd be nice too? but-- I'd love to go with you, Dave, as a date of any kind.

[ somewhere brooke page the narrator whispers "smooth, strider" ]

[parodeity]

[ luckily, dave can't hear you, brooke. also, he like. fuck. he didn't plan for her saying yes. HE DIDN'T PLAN TO ASK HER AT ALL, BECAUSE SHE IS SO CLEARLY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE? ]

I. No, I definitely prefer the real date? If. That's okay with you. [ he gives a tentative smile. ] I, uh, I didn't realize you were - available? Or I would have asked, like. Way sooner.

[ maybe. if he didn't chicken out. ]

[spelltastic]

[ yes she is but at the same time not really?? you're a ninja knight of time, dave. ]

That's more than okay with me, it's totally hexcellent! [ oh gosh a date!! ] Well, you could have asked, silly.

[ or if you'd asked, like. anyone a "hey is apple like single or". esp if you asked cedar. ]

[parodeity]

[ he doesn't like to put cedar on the spot, since she hates having to tell the truth all the time, tbh. so he only asks her bullshit questions. ]

Really? Well, um. Should I wear a specific color? We're supposed to match at these things right.

[ is that a thing apple would be into it sounds like a thing she would be into ]

[spelltastic]

Ooh, yes! I mean, we don't have to, but. [ happy clap ] My dress is white, gold, and red-- you like red, don't you?

[ it will be easy to match won't it ]

[parodeity]

Red is the best color ever, so yes.

[ ... ]

Also you look nice in red?
