Homecoming 2022, Community Center, Friday Evening

Homecoming in November meant the community center was decked out in harvest-themed decorations for this evening's festivities. There were pumpkins that had somehow survived un-carved after Halloween, baskets of glittery vegetables (not for eating, please), decorative hay bales, and... a disco ball?

It's a dance, some things get dug out of the decoration closet no matter what the theme might be.

The food table was full and the drinks were un-spiked for the moment, so it was time for everyone to get their dance on!

"What does the law say about letting a sparkly dress go to waste?" Important legal questions here. If only Fandom had some lawyers. Or superheroes/lawyers.

"And I'm sure there's time for multiple dance opportunities. And there are definitely no laws about not dancing with more than one person."

"There are definitely no laws about that," said Summer, who was very firmly trying her best to ignore that Barry had stupid super science genius stuff to take care of this weekend and couldn't make it, so this dance with Stark might be kind of all she was getting tonight, and, instead, snorted.

"And trust me," she said, "this dress has way less to be concerned about when it comes to waste than those other ones."

Alexander McQueen, it was not.

Good thing there were no anti-vibe statutes in place.

"It would be a shame to waste the sparkles then." Especially with the disco ball and everything.

"But we don't have to..."

Well, geez, Stark, if you were going to put it like that, then Summer would just feel bad if they didn't.

"No, no," she said, grinning lightly as she shook her head. "You're right. Can't let a cheap glittery dress go to waste, either. That's just dress discrimination, and we can have that..."

"No, we wouldn't want that," Stark agreed, smiling back. "Not at all. And I wouldn't want to waste my stylist's efforts on this shirt, either, would I? So we ought to dance."

For the sake of the clothing. Obviously.

"It is a good shirt," Summer agreed wholeheardly.

One that clearly needed at least one trip out on that dance floor, if not more.

"You look really nice," she informed him, while they were on the topic of clothes.

He looked happy, more to the point. The shirt was just set-dressing.

"Thank you. You're a good influence on my wardrobe."

And on his life in general.
somethingwithturquoise: (just so happy right now)

"I get that a lot," Summer allowed, with a knowing nod of her head.

About the wardrobe more so than improving anyone's life. The results were pretty mixed on that one.

"So...." she said, cocking her head a little curiously and trying to gauge exactly where in the current song being played they were at to determine whether another oh-so-convenient switch in the style was about to happen by the time they got out there, "dance now? Or should I hit you up later?"

Stark's life had been made much better by having Summer in it.

"You can...hit me up," Stark said, grinning a little as he did so, "any time you like. I'm happy to dance with you."

"Okay," said Summer, with another nod, and a pleased, just-on-the-edge-of-newly scheming grin. "I'll definitely keep that in mind."

And, lo and behold, eventually, she absolutely would take him up on that.
