Enchanted Aquatica---the Prom [WIDE OPEN Y'ALL]

The day had finally arrived for her big event, and Starfire couldn't be happier---or more nervous, actually. She was certainly not an expert on the inner workings of a prom, but it couldn't be too terribly complicated, right? As long as the people could eat, dance, and talk, it should be a reasonable success.

With that in mind, her decorations sprung from her mind into the large dome all around her, transforming a grey Sensorium into a beautiful underwater world, one with clear waters and free from the possibility of a shark attack.

The first change was the scent of the air, shifting into the comforting salty scent of the seas. Then the ground beneath her feet became a hardened sandstone, maintaining the gritty texture while remaining easy to walk upon---except for the smooth dance floor, of course. The grey dome transformed into a flowing bluish-green, rippling all around with fish of all colors passing in the background. Some of the 'sky' faded into a violet tone over the dance floor, lit by glowing circular lights in every color. Suspended in midair, they almost looked like motionless fireflies, though they sometimes swayed in tune with songs.

Tables arose from coral in all colors, rising from the ground and twisting to provide a flattened surface on the very top---rounded ones for guests, and long tables off to the side containing shell-bowls of food. Chairs were large floating clam shells with well cushioned interiors, some large enough to hold two people. More comfortable spongy places to sit were also littered across the area, notably by the large shell-shaped enclosure that was the promised swimming pool. It too was lit by the floating lights, providing what she hoped was a romantic atmosphere.

Finally, the glowing stage above the dance floor couldn't help but attract attention with its chairs. Six royal thrones and one plush chair of all colors directly in the middle rested in the back of the stage, leaving the front open for announcements. Just off to the side of the stage stood the DJ's table, with even that machine painted to match the soft underwater glow of the scenery.

Everything finally seemed pleasing to Starfire. With one last change, dressing herself in the formal attire of the prom, she sent out the signal to everyone and waited. She hoped they would have a wonderful time.

"Nah. Decided to go stag." Besides, given his total lack of interest in dating, asking someone to go with him would be almost disingenuous. Not that lack of honesty usually bothers him, but in this area it makes him uncomfortable. He doesn't even know how to pretend to be romantic. "You? Waiting for your wife to pop?"

"Don't make me have to take you under my wing, Howard. Let me put it this way: I even had a girlfriend's mom ask me to take her to prom." God, he sounded old, he thought to himself. "And am I ever. She's never even gone to normal school, let alone to prom, so this would be really special for her." He tried to keep the memory a bit lighthearted, but he couldn't help but go back to dancing lessons he gave her before their wedding.

"Well la-di-da, good for you. I'm just not really interested," he says, getting a little bit defensive. It's not as if no one's ever drawn his lack of dating knowledge to his attention.

"Lucky her. Normal school is a pain in the neck. Hey, maybe next year I can nominate you two for prom king and queen."
