( does she know what's next friday? of course she does. she's a teenage girl, after all, and her phone's practically glued to her hand. the incoming message may not be quite straight to the point, but it still earns a smile all the same. )

friday? there's a kickboxing class i'm considering

( a white lie. )

but my social calendar's pretty free, if you had something else in mind

[acuerdo]

[kickboxing? really, kim? those plans just won't do.]

not that i don't appreciate your desire to kick some ass, but i was thinking maybe something a little more black tie and a little less black belt.

[recoined]

( you know, you actually have to ask her or it doesn't count. )

black tie sounds pretty formal
definitely not a blazer and jeans arrangement

did you need my expert shopping advice again?

[acuerdo]

[he knows, okay? robbie's getting there]

no. i think i've got the suit part handled.
just need a hand with the date part.

did you see the video on the network?

[recoined]

oh, so you need a matchmaker?
i heard they're hosting dance classes if you needed help finding a partner

( he better, or he'll wind up getting sassed from here to timbuktu. or whatever the cadelle equivalent is. )

[acuerdo]

no i don't need a matchmaker.
i'm asking if you'll go with me.

but if you'd rather help me find someone else to go with...

[recoined]

i think you know the answer to that

but
technically
you haven't actually asked me anything...

[acuerdo]

[is she really going to make it hard?]

will you go with me to the ball?

[recoined]

( yes, and probably also yes. cue eyebrow waggling, you know the drill. but right now, she's mostly just pleased. )

only if i get to call you prince charming all night

( that's a yes, by the way )

[acuerdo]

[well then. he's looking forward to the other bit too, but for how he's mostly relieved. no need to worry about awkwardly running into her with another person. instead, he gets an evening of dance styles he's not especially familiar with. damn. guess who's going to have to go to one of those classes after all?]

you don't look like cinderella. are you trying to tell me you secretly slave away for your stepmom and step sisters?

[recoined]

i'll pass on cinderella
i'm team jasmine, obviously

( she would have gone with him even if he hadn't asked properly, but she likes that he did. it feels... well, it's nice. that he'd thought of her over somebody else. )

but you are pretty charming
and this is a ball
should i be looking for the fluffiest ballgown i can find?

[acuerdo]

so you've got a soft spot for riff raff huh?

charming to you maybe. i'm definitely not a prince though.
i don't know? i mean you should probably just find something that you like.
if it's fluffy then it's fluffy.

[recoined]

maybe one guy from the streets in particular...

i'm sure other people think you're charming too
and if i remember correctly aladdin needed a magic makeover before he could be her prince

[acuerdo]

why does it sound like i'm about to get dragged into a musical number where i come out dressed in a three piece suit with a top hat?

[recoined]

no thanks to the musical numbers
but i wouldn't be opposed to seeing you in an actual suit this time

( and after a beat or two... )

i've never actually been to a ball before, you know

[acuerdo]

that makes two of us.
this city has a knack for encouraging me to experience new things.

or maybe that's just you.

[recoined]

what do you mean?
do you not want to go?

[acuerdo]

of course i do.
i just meant that you're a lot of the reason behind why i want to do things.

i like spending time with you.

[recoined]

you don't have to do things just for me, you know

if you didn't want to go, i wouldn't make you
but i want to go with you
i was hoping you'd ask, but i didn't know if you were going with someone else already

[acuerdo]

i know that.

i wouldn't force you to do things with me either.
i hadn't planned on going with anyone else.
honestly, i wasn't sure if you already had a date.

[recoined]

i told you
i had a hot date scheduled with a kickboxing ring

besides... even if somebody else would have asked, i wanted to go with you

[acuerdo]

you still planning on having that hot date?

and would you have said no if someone else asked?

[recoined]

if you hadn't asked me yet, i would have

and i guess if i had known you were going with someone else, i might have said yes
but it wouldn't be the same

[acuerdo]

lucky for us both that we don't have to worry about any of those situations.

you gonna show me what you're thinking of wearing? don't want clash.

[recoined]

what about you?
if someone else had asked, would you have said no?

( as far as what she's wearing... well, probably something black. or maybe something white. that's sort of the theme. )
