[arrogantalloy]

Well, you're making the suits of armour look chatty. Y'know, just saying.

[notapigeon]

You'd be surprised what those piles of metal have to say.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, I could be, if it wasn't for the fact I doubt they ever has any thing for me to want to listen to.

Where's your date?

[Stark looks around to see if there's a girl near by]

[notapigeon]

Hey, the probably know secrets about everyone in the school.

[He crossed his arms.] She stepped out.

[arrogantalloy]

Then they can keep everything they know about me to themselves.

[He raises an eyebrow at him]

Stepped out? Lemmie guess, she's from Canada, too?

[Yup, Tony thinks you're pulling the fake girlfriend routine]

[notapigeon]

Hey, she's real, all right? Dances just aren't her thing. Plus, I don't.. think she's aware this is a date.

[arrogantalloy]

I think Webster and Oxford aren't going to agree with you on your definition of a date there, duck tail.

[notapigeon]

Well, I asked her to come to the dance with me. That means I asked her to be my date, doesn't it?

[arrogantalloy]

I could ask Happy and bring him. Doesn't mean it's a date.

[Tony an owl isn't a people]

if she doesn't know it's a date, then it's not. More of a half date really. Because, well, you believe it at least.

[notapigeon]

We can all be like you, you know.

[arrogantalloy]

Now that would be a truely beautiful thought, and horrifying.
There's just as many cute sweet ones that would say yes. Especially to you.

[notapigeon]

[Listen close, cause he's not gonna say this outloud.] Well, yeah, but I didn't really want to ask anyone else..

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony blinks]

Wait, so who's this girl? Got your attention, she must be something.

[notapigeon]

Five seconds ago you were getting on me about her being fake.

[arrogantalloy]

That was five seconds ago, you really have to keep up.

Besides, not even you are so sad as to have an imaginary girl be someone you really wanted to ask over a list of you know actual real girls.

Let's remember who you're talking to. So who is it?

[notapigeon]

[He had to look around, as if someone could be watching, waiting.]

It's Maka, all right? Just don't go telling everybody.

[arrogantalloy]

Maka...

[Looks like he's going through every name he can think of. So, it's not there for very long.]

Yeah, going to have to point her out. She a blonde?

[Tony did tend to remember blondes the best]

[notapigeon]

Yeah.. She's in my year.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm not Sherlock Holmes, Wilbur. I need more than 'she's in my year' to go with.

For the record there are girls our age I don't have names and measurements for, locked away in here.

[Taps his temple]

House, hair length, skirt length.

[notapigeon]

[He just siiighs and rolls his eyes. Tony, not everyone pays attention to same stuff you do.]

Gryffindor. Blonde. Pigtails. Always reading books.

[arrogantalloy]

[It would be a lot easier for Tony, if people did pay attention to the stuff he does.

Tony does a mental roll call on all the Gryffindor girls he remembers.]
Mid thigh, with those pigtails just barely past her shoulders, bangs?

That's her, right?

[Tony had a good memory when it came to someone's looks. Male or female.]

[notapigeon]

[He nodded.] Yeah, that's Maka.. I asked her to come with me, but I don't think she really got the point.

[arrogantalloy]

Did you even think to maybe stress the point?

"Hey Maka, you do know this is going to be a date, with the holding hands an the dancing things that happen while on dates at school dances?"

[Then Tony puckers his lips up at Wilbur]

"And Maka, if I'm lucky, I'd like to kiss you too." You know something like that. If that doesn't get the point across, either she's really innocent. Or you so never had a chance.

[notapigeon]

"Go with me to the dance" usually implies it's a date. I didn't know I had to make a show of it.

[Tony, gross. Even your air kisses are toxic.] Stop it. Maka and I have been friends for a while. She has to like me.

[arrogantalloy]

No, "go with me to the dance" just means go with me. "Be my date to the dance" means go with me.

[He grins at being told to stop]

Thor and I have been friends since first year. Doesn't mean he didn't beat the hell out of me a few days ago. There's like. and then there's "like"

[He wiggles his fingers as he says his second like]
