Be my date to the dance?

High School Dance Meme


Who doesn't love the iconic, coming of age experience that is the school dance? It's the one time teens are distracted from their scheduled angst, and such a promised event can cause peace at even the most divided of schools while everybody plans for the most important THING E V E R. Getting excited only makes sense. There's the ubiquitous red plastic cups! Questionable fashion choices and haircuts! Playlists filled with early 2000s r&b and slow jams for nervous slow dances!

You better get pumped for this shit, kid. Because that's what you are now, a high school kid, and you're going to the dance - willingly or unwillingly. Put on that button-up dragon shirt, make sure you bring your date flowers...or go stag, because you're a pathetic social reject or something! You do you, bro, and maybe you'll still get to second base.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, the usual. Hell, include your a description character's totally-not-picked-out-by-mom outfit if you want.
  • Your character is now a teenager trying to get their crush to notice them, being a lump, having fun, getting all romantic, trying to wreck the whole shindig, or whatever they'd be doing. It doesn't matter what your character is in canon. This is the infamous trash high school AU.
  • This can be gen or shippy I cannot care less. You can even smut for all I care. Just make it known in your top comment what you want so people will know to reply or not.
  • Don't just sit there. Reply to others and get out on the floor. They may even play the chicken dance!
  • In case you need some inspiration: playlist 1 and playlist 2. Tip for a top-level starter could be to link what song your character would totally get turnt for!

"No, I didn't! But I did see a thing about the guy who memorized the pattern on some other game show and used to to make like, a million dollars or something ridiculous," she said, laughing. "I just wanted to go on The Price is Right and win one of those brand new cars!"

Claire couldn't wait to drive when she lived in Texas. Now, she didn't really need to.

“Okay, okay. If you could win any car on that show what would it be?” Peter asked. He wasn’t a huge car guy or anything but he was curious if Claire had a specific can in mind. Or a truck maybe? That was what they drove in Texas, wasn’t it?

"I wanted one of those little Volkswagens. The new beetles they made? I thought I'd just be so cute driving around in one of those." And really, she would be.
