[Charlie looks a bit mopey, curled up on her bed, staring at the camera.]

So! Who wants to skip the stupid prom with me? We could like, go to the movies or sit around eating junk food and playing video games or like...anything else really. Just not going to the stupid prom!

[Yeah. Certainly a bit mopey.]

Can we still wear dresses? I do like dresses.

Besides... dancing with a friend, or by yourself, is much better than waiting for someone to dance with you. At least in my experience.

[Oh crap, Luna. Making her feel sad would probably be like kicking a puppy.]

I...of course we can. Uh. I told May I'd go dress shopping with her even if I don't go to prom...

[i_seethestrals]

[ That's all right, really, she's a very tough puppy. ]

Brilliant!

Of course, you could always do those things after, if you do go.

[foreverbouncing]

[Charlie just looks a tad confused.]

Do which things after...? I would need the dress if I did go so I can't do it after.

[i_seethestrals]

[ Luna also looks confused. What is this logic you are using. ]

Who says you can't eat sweets or watch film or play games in a dress? If you want to.

[foreverbouncing]

Oh! I...I guess you could!

Except you might ruin the dress if you got candy or popcorn on it or something...

[i_seethestrals]

But it's just a dress. Exciting as they are, clothes do get dirty.

[foreverbouncing]

Yeah, that's true.

Do you just like wearing dresses around?

[i_seethestrals]

Not all the time. They tend to get in the way, when you're on an expedition. Or fighting dark wizards.

But they can be quite a lot of fun.

[foreverbouncing]

I don't wear them a lot.

I wore won last year for prom. And on one date I went on with Josh because he really liked it...

[i_seethestrals]

You miss him, don't you.

If it hurts too much, then you shouldn't force yourself to go.

[ Pause. Then, thoughtfully... ]

I went to the Yule Ball by myself. It was a bit lonesome, at first, but I had fun. No one invited to me things, honestly, until fifth year.

[Charlie just looks rather sad, an expression that really doesn't suit her, and nods.]

I don't know. I might. May wants me to.

Well. They should've, 'cause you're awesome, Luna! [She smiles faintly.] I went by myself last year. It was the first time Josh and I danced.

Has anyone asked you to prom?

[i_seethestrals]

[ Luna looks sympathetic, but beams back at the compliment. ]

It's your decision... and that's very nice of you to say.

[ Looking a bit bewildered. ]

No, of course not.

[foreverbouncing]

[The bewildered look throws her a bit.]

Well...'of course not?' What? I mean. They should ask you! Have you asked anybody?

[i_seethestrals]

It's all right. I'm used to going to these sort of things by myself, if I do.

But that's not a bad idea! Except, I don't really know that many people...

[foreverbouncing]

Well. Do you like any of the people you do know?
