Case 50 - Turnabout Dance

[little_thief]

[After hearing that announcement from Quinn about the prom, Kay is struck with the most brilliant idea she's ever had.  Clearly, the entire town needs to hear about it.  To the phones!]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

Hey, everyone!  So, looks like it's prom season again!  I know there's a lot of new people in town who probably haven't really met anyone yet, and also that there are a lot of shy guys and girls in town who can't work up the courage to ask that cute classmate or neighbor of theirs to the dance, so I'm gonna help you guys out!  Kay Faraday's dating service is now open for business!  Just give me a call or drop a note in the mailbox at 505 Ricardo Street and tell me what you're looking for in a potential prom date, and I'll use a very scientific matching process to pair you up with your perfect partner!  All of your information will be kept totally confidential, and there's no charge for the service, so there's really no reason at all not to take advantage of this.  And who knows - you might really hit it off with your date and find true love and happiness!  I'll be waiting for your calls, 'kay?

If you're happy then you should take your relationship to the next step.

Is he alright with you doing this dating service?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Huh? Why wouldn't he be? I mean, it's not like I'm looking for a date myself. I'm just hooking other people up.

And I think Mayfield would have more than a few issues with the two of us getting married.

I don't see where the complications are if you two love each other and decide to get married.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't really talked about it with him yet. Don't people usually date for longer than a year before they get married, though?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Some people get hitched as early as a month even. I go with the three month rule. It's okay to date after 3 months and it's okay to marry after six.

I only just turned 18, though!

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

How old is he then?...

Actually it's better if I don't ask. You two should obviously elope.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Actually, he's--

...Elope?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

If your love is that strong, then it's a potential route.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I really don't think we're ready for that yet, though. I mean, we've never even talked about it.

You should make sure that your boyfriend isn't thinking about it. He might be expecting some important life-changing questions.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

But isn't it usually the guy who asks the girl?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Not always. Some people might get offended if you assume that too, nowadays.

Well, not here in 1950's Mayfield.

I dunno, Takeshi always struck me as a kind of old-fashioned sort of guy.
