"Not even a hint?" Allegra asked, digging through the stuff Ari had pushed out from under her bed. "Well, I suppose a mystery date is better than no date, right? Unless... " Suddenly she thought of a few boys who would definitely be worse than no date. "But Krissy wouldn't do that to you."

"No, I can't see her setting me up with a jerk," Arianna knew Krissy had also had problems with crappy boyfriends. There was no way either of them would set a friend up with a known idiot. "All she told me was that it was someone I like. But I think she meant to say it was someone I would like."
Arianna said this last sentence a bit too quickly. It was almost as though she was trying to deny whatever the previous statement could mean. She really didn't like anyone anyway. There were just too many jerks in the school. Those who weren't jerks were already taken. And anyway, she didn't have interest in any of them.

"Someone you do like?" Allegra asked, going back to the original statement. She hadn't heard of Ari liking anyone lately, but of course, that didn't mean anything. The gossip mill was obviously too busy focusing on her love life to remeber that there were hundreds of other people to talk about.
"So you don't have any idea?" she asked again. "Any... hopes? Predictions? Suspicions?"

Arianna was quiet for a long moment. She didn't want to say anything; COULDN'T say anything. Not when she was trying to deny to herself what was really going on. Fortunately, a distraction came in the form of a black ball of fur bounding onto the bed.
"Hey, Juniper," Arianna cuddled the cat and whispered a quiet thank you into his ear. He always did seem to know when she needed him.

"You didn't answer me," Allegra pointed out as she went back to play with the material around her. It had been a noticable ommision and while she was teasing in her comment, she couldn't help being a little hurt too.
But then again, she had never confided in Ari either...
"So what are we going to do with all of this?" she asked, hoping to change the subject to something less awkward.

Arianna gave a half-smile, feeling a bit guilty despite the joking tone in Allegra's voice. It would be much easier to talk if she would admit to herself what was going on. Arianna didn't want to do that, though, so she preferred to feign ignorance. Doing so would mean it was nothing, right?
"Hmm..." Arianna was glad of the sudden change of topic. She still did not have any idea what to do. That is, until Juni pawed at a little fly that had landed on the bed cover.
"Ooh..." she looked down at Juni for a long second, then back to the materials in front of her, a smile slowly creeping up on her face.

Allegra had an inspiration too, but it probably wasnt very good for a first date. "Did you ever see that movie, The Fly?" she asked. "The guy gets turned into a human fly as a result of a botched switching spell and goes around terrorizing the city. The last shot of the movie is the girl looking at a spider web and finding out that the original fly that had turned into the guy has been caught... and the spider is just about to eat him and he cries out in this little fly-voice help me! help me!" Allegra shuddered just thinking about it. "That voice still creeps me out..."

Arianna shook her head. Most of her movie knowledge came from whatever videos she'd watched at the Thorntons while living with them over breaks. She was certain The Fly wasn't one of them.
"I was thinking...hmmm...." the idea rolled around in her mind a bit as she tried to imagine her costume. Something was coming to her. Slowly, but it was coming. "Maybe....a Cat Woman type costume...."

"OOO! I like that better!" Allegra answered. It was so much easier to look cute as a cat than it was as a fly and on a date, even on a blind date... especially on a blind date, you needed to look cute, right?
"We could make ears and a tail... and find something for some really good claws," she suggested, wondering if Drew still had his Freddy Kruger hands in his room.

"Oh! Really long claws," Arianna suggested. Setting Juni aside, she dug through her supplies again, putting away a few things as she did so. Arianna was certain she wouldn't need the orange material for what she had pictured. "Not sharp, but stiff...In case the guy tries anything," she joked. Though she was sure Krissy wouldn't set her up with such a guy, one could never be too careful.

"Okay, have you seen Nightmare on Elm Street?" Allegra tried. "Drew's got a Freddy costume. The razor blade hands would be just right. Of course, they're just plastic, so they won't really hurt anyone. We just have to ask if we can use them." There was no way she was stepping foot in that room without an invitation."

"Ooo, that sounds good," Arianna grinned. Her costume was building itself right before her eyes as they spoke and she was sure it would be a good one. No, it wouldn't fit the ball theme, but she didn't care. She never went along with the theme. "But what else can we add? I don't want to look like Cat Woman herself.....I want my own look...."
