Along one wall is a LONG line of tables stacked high with food. Yum! It looks like the elves have outdone themselves to provide all sorts of yummy sock hop food, including traditional 1950's American diner classics. That plate of hamburgers looks delicious, and you can even grab a glass bottle of sodapop at the end of the table. Make sure you get two straws for your chocolate malt.

Bella choked on her chocolate as she pictured Cliff in a polka dot poodle skirt, she started to cough, and then to laugh. For a fleeting moment she was tempted to tell Eva about a certain dress up phase Cliff had gone through when he was four, but she decided against it. Cliff would definitely kill her for that one.

Crayola · 12-18-2007, 08:54 PM

Evangeline only laughed harder when Bella choked on her chocolate and had a funny feeling that the third year been imagining the same as her. “Yup, it certainly is an amusing image.” She grinned.

“Do you reckon he’s coming though?” She stood on her toes trying to see the door and wrinkled her nose. “Seriously, do these people dancing have to be so tall?” She sighed and shrugged. “Bleh..”

Colley · 12-18-2007, 08:58 PM

Bella shrugged her shoulders as she took a deep breath to calm her coughing. "Quite." she agreed.

She looked over her shoulder when Evangeline tried to look for Clifford, "Who knows, the boy does as he pleases." she replied, turning back around, "Did he say he was coming?"

Crayola · 12-18-2007, 09:05 PM

Evangeline wrinkled her nose and stood back on the sole of her feet again, it was pointless to try to find Clifford that way. She shouldn’t even be trying to find him. A part of her really wanted him to show up. Because of the jacket. I want to see his reaction to the jacket, she thought to herself. Riiiiiiiiight.

“Nope, he didn’t.” She shook her head at Bella’s question. “The last time we talked everything was awkward so yeah.” She was still surprised they had actually spoken to each other. “But then again, he might not know about the ball.” She glanced up at Bella and smirked. “But no worries, if he comes we are in the right place.” Surely the first place Mr. Stinky Dumb Pig would visit is the buffet.

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 09:25 PM

Clifford tugged at the hem of his muggle shirt grumpily. Sure, he sometimes liked wearing muggle clothes but these smart muggle clothes were weird. His shirt was buttoned right to the top and was almost chocking him, and his shoes were far too shiny for his liking. He had even attempted to put on one of those tie things, but had nearly strangled himself trying to tie it up so it hung undone around his neck. Maybe someone here could help him.

He didn’t want to come to this weird Hoppy Socky thing anyway; there was no way he was dancing, especially not in front of anyone. There was only one thing he was here for and it wasn’t to make a fool of himself. Apparently there was a buffet, and there was no way he was giving up the chance to pig out. So here he was. A little uncomfortable but hungry.

As he approached the buffet table, ready for a full on feast he spotted Bella and Evangeline, looking pretty hilarious in their own muggle outfits. He put a hand over his mouth to hide a snicker and poured himself a chocolate malt. “You two look – erm..” Hilarious.. “Nice.”

Colley · 12-18-2007, 09:31 PM

Bella turned around at the sound of Cliff's voice and smirked, "Aww thanks Clivvie." She said, eyeing his untied tie, "But you look like a dork. Do you want some help with that, or is it a new fashion statement?" she asked. Bella liked her poodle skirt very much, it was cute. "I'm thinking of wearing this at Christmas dinner, Warren would love it right?" she added, laughing at the thought. Handing him the box, she smiled, "By the way, Merry Early Christmas." she said.

Crayola · 12-18-2007, 09:42 PM

“Hah! I was right!” Evangeline’s stomach dropped slightly when she saw Clifford approaching and raised an eyebrow when he put a hand over his mouth. He better not be laughing of her outfit. Not now she was getting used to it! But she couldn’t help to chuckle slightly at what he was wearing. It seemed – weird.

She snorted when he said they looked nice but grinned nevertheless. “Thank you…I think.” She wrinkled her nose and turned around to look at the dancers. She really didn’t know who to behave now he was here. She almost dropped her chocolate malt when Bella spoke of Warren, just the mention of his name was enough to leave her slightly out of breath. She knew she was just being silly, she didn’t have a reason to be scared of him anymore. And she wasn’t quite sure of which thought was more depressing.

It was with a grin however that she watched Bella give her present to Clifford. She watched him carefully, she wasn’t exactly sure of what his reaction would be.

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 09:52 PM

With a small frown, Clifford looked down at the tie he gave up on tying. Dork? How rude! And he had complimented her, which had actually taken a lot of effort. He was much more comfortable telling her she smelt bad. “Naaaah. It’s better wearing it this way anyway. At least this way it can’t strangle me to death.” The buttons done right up to his chin were doing a good enough job of that.

He smiled in Evangeline’s direction before turning back to his cousin and taking the box she was handing him. He loved presents, very much actually, but he was a little suspicious. “I hope it’s not anything that will eat me.” He joked nervously, giving the box a shake. “And I hope you know you’re not getting your box of mouldy Chocolate Frogs until Christmas.” He added seriously.

With a nervous gulp he opened the lid and in an instant his expression became puzzled. He pulled out the contents in confusion. “What on Earth is that?” He asked, holding the strange looking garment up to examine it properly.

Colley · 12-18-2007, 10:03 PM

Bella chuckled, "Hm. Suit yourself." she said, taking both ends of his tie and crossing them to lightly choke him, "The tie may not, but if you are mean to me, I will." she fake threatened, with a wink.

She watched as he opened his present, giving a little sarcastic laugh when he said she had to wait for her mouldy chocolate frogs. "Way to be a scrooge Cliff." she said, smiling when he pulled out his jacket, eyeing it in confusion. "It's a leather jacket Cliff. Seriously, it'll make you look cool." she said with a laugh, waiting for him to try it on, pretty confident that it would be a perfect fit. "Remember when your coat went missing last week? That was me, I was trying to see what size you are." she confessed, sipping her malt.

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 10:13 PM

“Oh.. that’s where it went.” Clifford frowned; he had been searching for that coat all day. Oh well. “I’ll be needing that back you know, I can’t where this thing everywhere. I think I’ll save it for special occasions only.” And with a nod he pulled his new leather jacket on.

He smoothed his shirt out and gave a small spin, showing it off. “So, did it do the trick?” He said, looking in Evangeline’s direction. “You’d tell me if I looked like an idiot wouldn’t you?” He asked unsurely, after recent events this was doubtful. “Knowing Bella she’s making me wear it so I embarrass myself.” Although he had to admit, it did feel much cooler.

Crayola · 12-18-2007, 10:15 PM

Evangeline sighed as she watched them, they always made her feel like a third wheel. Which was normal, after all they were family and she was – well, nothing. She folded her arms across her chest. Hmpft. At least they could have the decency to send her away.

She raised her head when Clifford spoke to her and chuckled softly, nodding her head. “Yup, it did the trick.” She eyed him, he looked slightly ridiculous with his tie, his shirt buttoned till the top and his leather jacket. She bit her lip at his question before nodding. “Of course I would.” Letting him look like an idiot was a very childish revenge, and she wasn’t even thinking about getting revenge. “It’s just…” She took a deep breath and moved closer to him. “Wait a minute…” She unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and removed his tie before taking a few steps back and eyeing him. “Much better.” She grinned, twisting his tie in her hands.

Colley · 12-18-2007, 10:20 PM

Bella laughed, "Of course, it's already in your dorm." she said with a nod. She noticed right away that Eva was suddenly acting different, and she figured that was her cue. "Well." she said suddenly, picking up her drink. "I'm going to dance." she looked back and forth between the two of them and nodded, "You two- uh- have fun." she said. ruffling Cliff's hair before taking off into the crowd.

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 10:41 PM

Clifford’s stomach seemed to jump up into his throat when Evangeline moved closer to unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt. Now that, he was not expecting. “Thanks.” He said, his voice higher than usual. He exhaled loudly when she stepped back, it seemed he had stopped breathing for a moment. Whether that was down to his buttoned up shirt or Evangeline’s gesture, he wasn’t really sure.

“Oh – Erm, right, see you Bells. Go break an ankle” He grimaced, as she ruffled up his hair. You two have fun? He wrinkled his nose at the thought, and glanced at Evangeline who now had hold of his tie. “A-Are you not gonna..?” He looked in the direction of the dancefloor. “Y-You know, boogie on down or whatever it is those crazy people are doing.”

Seeker_Seven · 12-18-2007, 10:45 PM

Tag had attempted to plaster his hair back with an excessive amount of "Slicky-Sticky" gel, but all he had managed to do was come off looking like a drowned poodle. His bangs in particular refused to behave, and continued to curl up at the ends, as if he had just been flash-frozen while speeding on his broom. The only thing distinctly 'fifties' about him was the pegged jeans and the black t-shirt he'd dug up out of his pajamas pile.

However, he wasn't about to let party-theme issues keep him from fried food.

"Chocolate malts!" he exclaimed, dragging Bucky by the hand towards the tables. "Oh I know how we're supposed to do this! See. . . you stick two straws in the glass. . . and then you share." Tag gave her an evil wink.

Evangeline shyly bit her lip when her own movement sunk in. She felt her cheeks burn and carried on twisting his tie, looking away from him. She was supposed to think before she act! She glanced over at Clifford and smiled sheepishly at him before turning to Bella. “See you Bella.” She grinned at the girl but soon raised an confused eyebrow. Why did she keep on looking at them like that?

As she watched Bella disappeared into the crowd she shook her head, maybe it was better not to know. She looked back at Clifford at his question, slightly taken back. Was he asking her to dance? Or was he just asking her if she was going to dance? “Erm…I’m not sure.” She wrinkled her nose, trying to make sense in her own head. “I mean, dancing by yourself can’t be that fun. Besides I already look pathetic enough with this skirt, I don’t need people staring at me because I’m…” Her voice trailed off as she noticed she was rambling and she looked at the dancefloor. Why was she so nervous? It was just Clifford! Well, duh, that’s exactly why I’m nervous. She bit her lip and glanced up at him. “Are you going to?” She asked him, hoping more than anything that her cheeks wouldn’t betray her.

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 11:23 PM

Clifford smiled slightly when Evangeline rambled on and on and on and on. It made him feel a little better, it seemed like he wasn’t the only nervous one. Some of her rambling was a little frightening however, well, the parts he had actually managed to catch. ‘Dancing by yourself can’t be that fun…’ He hoped very much that didn’t mean what he thought it might. Like Evangeline would want to dance with him anyway, even if he was the world’s best dancer. Which he wasn’t, not by a long way.

“Oh – Um. I don’t think I will.” He answered, shaking his head quickly and looking over at the dancing crowd. Evangeline’s pink cheeks were making him nervous. “It’s – It’s not fair risking everyone else’s lives. I have two left feet; I could cause an accident or something, or end up breaking my own neck. No, it’s much safer if I stay put. Um – I’m sure someone out there wouldn’t mind a dancing partner though.” He frowned slightly as he looked back at Evangeline.

Crayola · 12-18-2007, 11:43 PM

Evangeline sipped from her chocolate malt and looked over at the dancefloor, hoping she cold malt would make her cheeks cold down. Because she really didn’t like the idea of blushing that much infront of Clifford after everything that happened.

She glanced back up him when he started speaking and surprisingly realised she was actually disappointed when he said he wouldn’t dance. She chuckled softly at his explanation and nodded her head. “Of course. You’d probably find it much easier if you could dance on a broomstick.” She rolled her eyes but soon regretted the words. She was just teasing him, but a part of her was afraid he’d get offended. “I’m sorry.” She quickly bit her lower lip.

“Naaaah, don’t worry. I’m fine here.” She told him, wondering why was he frowning. The truth was, she really didn’t care much about the dancing. And the small part of her which did, had disappeared when he said he wasn’t going to dance. “You aren’t trying to get rid of me are you?” She chuckled quite sheepishly with her cheeks getting warmer again. What if he was?

Waterloo · 12-18-2007, 11:59 PM

“No need to apologise..” Clifford said slowly, eyeing Evangeline’s expression curiously. She seemed a little afraid. Afraid that her harmless teasing would upset him? Or just afraid of him altogether in general? He took a step back at the thought, he didn’t want to scare her. But he probably did these days, thanks to his own stupidity.

“Oh – Of course I’m not trying to get rid of you.” He said quickly. In fact, he was quite glad she wasn’t going to go searching for a dance partner. “I just thought … it’s a dance y’know … where people dance.” He had come for the food, and as he knew Evangeline didn’t really share his great love for food… “I just presumed you came here to dance that’s all. But I’d love it if you stayed!!” He blinked as the words escaped, it seemed they’d come out of their own accord. He’d have to have better control if he didn’t want Evangeline to run away.

Crayola · 12-19-2007, 12:20 AM

Evangeline smiled awkwardly at him, chewing her straw, as he said she didn’t need to apologise. She couldn’t understand half of the things she was doing, or feeling for what that mattered. She was still slightly afraid of him, yes; but she couldn’t say she wanted him to go away. Because she didn’t.

She grinned happily as he said he wasn’t trying to get rid of her, her tapping her feet on the floor following the beat of the music. “Well, dancing is quite overrated you know…” She shrugged turning back to pour herself some more chocolate malt. When he said he’d love for her to stay however, she was so shocked she completely missed her glass. And poured chocolate malt all over the table. “Gaaaah…” She quickly picked up a napkin to clean her hand, placing her glass on the table. Unfortunately, his tie had been in the chocolate’s reach and was now dripping chocolate as she picked it up to show it to him. “Erm…I’m sorry.” There she was apologising again. "At least now it..uh - smells like chocolate." She sighed, thanking Merlin for the soft lights. Maybe, maybe Clifford would fail to miss her crimson cheeks.

Waterloo · 12-19-2007, 12:37 AM

Clifford’s eyes widened when Evangeline poured chocolate malt all over the table. Oh no.. Don’t let the precious food be ruined.. pleeeeease. He made to step forward and help, but quickly thought better of it. That probably wasn’t the best of ideas, and besides she seemed to be managing okay.

He laughed when Evangeline held up his tie which was dripping in the chocolate malt stuff. “Um – No problem.” He shrugged when she apologised again and coughed nervously when he noticed her cheeks had turned pink. He couldn’t fail to notice them, not even in this dim light. “If – If anything you’ve done me a favour…” He chuckled nervously, playing with the straw in his glass. “I’m sure I’ll wear it more often now it smells and tastes like chocolate.. I’ll just have to learn how to tie it up without killing myself now.”

*JoshMoonson* · 12-19-2007, 12:47 AM

Josh walked over to the table with the cookies. So the last time he made for some cookies he only came out with one. Which he had to give to jai. Well at least now he could get some cookies. He looked around to see if he knew anyone as he ate his cookie.

Evangeline bit her lip, even though Clifford said it was okay, she still felt bad about getting chocolate all over his tie. And embarrassed. It seemed her cheeks didn’t want to go back to their usual pale colour tonight.

She placed his tie on the table, since she sure didn’t want to get chocolate on her skirt, and surely Clifford didn’t want the same to happen to his new leather jacket. Well, it was Clifford so he probably wanted. She chuckled timidly at his words, pouring herself some chocolate malt, this time making sure it was on her glass and not on the table. “Then I suppose you don’t want me to get it clean.” She said, turning back to face him.

She eyed him for a second before chuckling. “You know I think I’m perfectly capable of pouring chocolate malt over you. So if you want, just ask.” She finished with a small wink in his direction. She regretted the words the minute they left her mouth. She was not supposed to be like this infront of him. Not after everything he had told her; she was regaining her hope, but what if the other Clifford came back? She quickly turned away from him, to watch some older boy eating cookies. Stupid redden cheeks… Clifford should be used to them by now but they still embarrassed her!

Emily walked towards the buffet and made a b-line for the hamburgers. Man, she was starving. She took a massive bite and then noticed Josh. ‘Great - a mouth full of food. Not a good look.” She quickly chewed and swallowed the contents of her mouth before wandering over to Josh. “Hiya Joshua. Enjoying the ball?” He looked particularly dashing tonight. “Nice hat.” She smiled. She looked around for Ellie - where had the girl got to this time? Probably somewhere with Derek.

Josh finished off his cookie as he gave her a smile." Hi Ems.You look beautiful." he told her as he looked at her dress." Very nice. And in black. We are matching." he said as he now felt a bit stupid. He was aloud to have a few. " Mostly. " he told her as he then asked," And you?" he looked to see that a new song had started." Come on dance with me. Cant let a pretty lady like you go without a dance. " he said holding his hand out for her to take.

“Oh, you’re more than welcome to get it cleaned if you wish.” He shrugged, if it made her feel better then there was no harm in letting her. I might accidentally on purpose spill chocolate on it again though, he thought with a small grin.

His mouth fell open at her words. Had she just said that out loud? To his face? And was that a wink he had spotted too? Surely he was imagining things, this wasn’t right! Evangeline was supposed to hate him! She was supposed to make him beg for forgiveness after all the nasty things he had said to her. Her behaviour wasn’t doing well for the horrible guilt he still felt. He took another big step backwards and clutched at the table behind him. “I – I – Hmmuhhmm.” He mumbled incoherently. “Just make sure it’s boiling hot so it burns me, please.” He muttered, wrinkling his nose. Maybe then he wouldn’t feel guilty, and there would be no need for begging.
