"These witches are the ones I've met? You haven't started a collection since I've seen you?"

Permalink

"Same one. Why, is the Magic Box having a sale?"

Permalink

"Buy two, get the broomstick free."

Permalink

"Bargain. But anyway, yeah, still Soph and Alli in the witch department. Thanks for agreeing to stand by, let's hope you're totally unnecessary."

Permalink

"Don't we all. I'll see you then. Anything else?"

Permalink

"To what extent are you a secret from my Watcher? Like, did she hire your husband to teach me to hit things by sheer coincidence...?"

Permalink

"I have not admitted to knowing about you before the Council did; nothing else is particularly secret. I think we're in some sort of 'non Watchers in the know' list in a vault somewhere? Certainly Tamara consulted someone for the name of a trainer reasonably in the know, she did not draw Phil's name from a hat."

"Okay, good to know. See you Saturday."

Permalink

"See you then." Emma hangs up and goes off to find herself some books. It appears she'll be having some downtime to read shortly.

The day of the prom Alli shows up at the door to the gym on time, looking surprisingly put together in a slinky black dress and carrying a bouquet of blue irises. No promises will be made as to their non-magical origins.

Permalink

"Nice dress!" says Soph, early, having arrived with Bella (Bella's sneaking-in method was to drop her sister off and then claim to need the bathroom and not emerge). Soph's dress is blue but includes no red; it's got one sleeve and a light filmy overskirt and a wide sash she's hidden witching supplies in.

Permalink

"You too," Alli says with a smile, offering the flowers. "As promised."

Permalink

"Thanks!" Soph takes them and tucks them into a part of her sash that is not occupied by witching stuff. "Hey," she says to the doorperson. "Can we go in yet?"

Permalink
The door is guarded by two students who, if they're not already playing defensive tackle, are clearly wasting their potential. Someone is very serious about door security being, if not the brightest, at least intimidating.

"Not without your dates, you can't," the closer boy responds. "Didn't you see the signs? Dates or nothin'."

"She's my date. She gave me flowers, look."

Permalink

"She's your-" the second boy elbows him and raises an eyebrow. They snicker. "Prove it!" the second boy demands.

Permalink

"How about, you're assholes, she's my date, let us in?" Alli suggests.

Permalink

"We're protecting people from themselves," the first boy says, somewhat pompously. "Only people with dates allowed. And I'm not buyin' it."

Permalink

"She got me flowers, what do you think she is, a flowers-o-gram?"

Permalink

"You could be pretending to be dates to sneak in!" one points out. (In his defense, not inaccurately.) "And the flowers're to... to... make it look better."

Permalink

Alli rolls her eyes. "Okay, asshole. Fine. I'll bite. How do I convince you she's actually my date?"

Permalink

They exchange looks again, looking smug. "Kiss her," the second one says promptly. "That'll do it."

Permalink

Alli shrugs. "Easy enough." And she pulls Soph in for a kiss. Her other hand is occupied flipping off the jocks at the door.

Permalink

Soph cooperates with reasonable grace under the circumstances. Mwah.

Permalink

The boys burst into laughter. "Man, I can't believe you guys actually did it!" one gloats. "Yeah, yeah, you can go in now."
