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.

"Jeez, Zou, I'm wearing a collared shirt. What more do you want from me?" Because he doesn't want to look like he should be singing opera with you, Zouichi. "So where's the future queen?"

He returns the look at Alan, although Alan benefits from not having to blink much.

Zouichi frowned a little at it, as if concentrating. "That must be why I couldn't find you at first. And Alastirra's not here yet."

Alan didn't have to blink at all, unless you counted his nictitating membrane. "Tee hee hee," he said, in Lash's voice.

"Well, I guess if you're going to get maybe crowned it's good you didn't go with a hat. I wonder how a tiara will fit over her horns, though?"

Howard jumps back. "Wait, so Alan's a mimic now?"

"Aren't you counting the crowns before they're bestowed? I don't think Alastirra and I will actually win."

Zouichi smiled, scratching Alan's head. "He's awfully, talented, isn't he? He's been picking up words left and right."

"Oh, come on! You're so cute together! You managed to make it by overcoming the obstacles of your total lack of dating skills!"

He shakes his head. "Talented and creepy. Although I guess that could be useful. Can he do my voice?"

Have an eyeroll, Howard.

"Creepy?" Zouichi looked vaguely insulted. "It's just imitation. And I'm sure he could, if he wanted to."

Alan didn't look like he wanted to. Alan was doing his best impression of the Fry squint (http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee233/kattdogg23/fry-squint.jpg).

Have an innocent grin, Zouichi.

"It's a really accurate imitation. That's why it's creepy. Like from the second Terminator movie, you know?"

"Alan isn't exactly a Terminator. Trust me, he's not even made of liquid metal or anything. Anyway, don't you have some teenagers to flirt with or something? Or are you going to sit here the entire time?"

"I was planning on making my appearance, heckling you, and sitting around with Alastirra asking her how she's holding up dating you, Casanova. Besides, I don't want my Med Bay coworkers worrying I'm still all rattled from the mission."

He gives Zouichi a skeptical look. "In as long as you known me, have I been the flirting type?"

"Oh, I don't know, I think you could pull it off if you applied yourself. Maybe ditched the raptor shoes."

"Yeah, but why? What could I possibly gain from gritting my teeth through pretending to care about slow-dancing or whatever? Besides, why would I want to be with someone who isn't attracted to raptor-shoes?"

"Well, maybe the next planet we visit will require all communication to take place in the form of interpretive dance. Or you'll have to make nice with an alien princess."

Howard snorts. "God, Zou, that's an even dimmer view on Stacy's missions than I got."

"A dimmer view would be to assume this was all a drug-induced hallucination. As in maybe someone shot me with an experimental psychotropic chemical dart and any minute now, I'm going to wake up covered in zombies."

"Dude, that's not funny. For all we know, it's true. Oscar's Razor or whatever that whole theory is." 'Hallucination' makes way more sense than 'sticky-fingered fleshy spaceship'.

"Occam's Razor. And besides, wouldn't it mean that the multiverse wasn't really in danger of being destroyed? I'd say that was a net positive."

"Whatever." He bites his lip. Yes, Zouichi has a point, but the idea of being on Stacy is still more comforting than the idea that they're hallucinating their ways through their crapsack homeworlds. "This'd be a hella complex hallucination, though."

"Maybe not. Maybe you're actually one of my coworkers or something. 'And you were there, and you were there, and you were there'."
