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?

[b-but you've never even noticed me]

I guess you must have a lot of satisfied customers, then.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, not yet, but they will be!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

So how is it that you decide who's good to be who's date? Just by knowing them pretty well?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, you ask people who call in wanting a date what they're looking for in a potential date, and then match people up who are similar.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

So, um. Just out of curiosity . . . I mean, I don't really want one or anything. Who would you match me with?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, there's only one girl who's signed up so far, so unless you want to go to the dance with a guy, you'd get matched with her.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . .........Oh.

What if we were pretending everyone in the town was signed up?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Why, is there a girl you like?

[Teasing voice GO]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

N-No! I just . . . I'm curious how you do this.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Hmm... well, for you, it'd have to be someone really nice and considerate.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Really? Aha, I don't really even know anyone around my age who are girls . . .

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

So you don't have a date to the dance?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It's not like you need a date, right? . . .

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Nah, plenty of people go alone or with a group of friends. It's no big deal.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You're probably going to go with, um. Yamamoto, right?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I'm really excited. And my friend Miakis and her boyfriend Ken are going to come with us too.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a lot of fun. I'll see you there, then?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Save me another dance, okay?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Hooray secret plan accomplished actually wait had he really been going for that for the start maybe it was more of an unacknowledged hope.]

I-I will, for sure!

[Now to find someone to teach him how to dance...]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Okay! See you there, then!
