Midnight's POV
I was just laying on my bed with a comic book in my hands as Alpha, Galand, and Ethan were busy getting dressed for the dance. I briefly looked up and saw Galand struggling with his tie. Ethan walked over and properly tied it as if he'd done it a million times before.
Alpha: how many times has he had to do that for you?
Galand: more than I'd like to admit.
Midnight: ha.
My 3 teammates all turned to me.
Ethan: ya know, you can still change your mind.
Midnight: na...
I looked back down at my book and turned to the next page. They all looked at each other for a brief moment. Alpha adjusted his tie before just walking to the door.
Alpha: see ya later then.
Without looking up from my book, I gave them a 2 fingered wave. Alpha and Ethan walked out the door, but Galand stopped in the doorway before looking back at me. After a couple seconds he turned back around and shut the door behind him.
After that, I was alone...or as alone as I could get.
Umbra: ahem...
I sighed before putting my bookmark in to save my place and closed my book.
Midnight: what now?
Umbra: oh, nothing, just contemplating how I can convince you to get off your ass and go to that dance.
I sat up on the edge of my bed and looked down at my shadow. 2 holes that resembled eyes were made as well as one that was supposed to be a mouth.
Midnight: seriously, this again? Why do you want me to go so bad?
Umbra: is it so bad to want my host to have fun with his friends?
Midnight: ...A: since when do you care if I'm having fun or not, B: since when do you care about my friends, and C: why are you acting like this?
Umbra: what do you mean?
Midnight: usually you could care less about...anyone.
Umbra: well...I just think it would be a good way to boost morale in your team
Midnight: you paused.
Umbra: huh?
Midnight: you paused in that last statement.
Umbra: so?
Midnight: SO you're lying.
Umbra: what?! Why in the Netherworld would I lie about something so trivial?!
I could hear his voice getting distressed, he'd been caught in an obvious lie.
Umbra: alright fine! I want you to go to that because I'm interested in what it's like!
I put on a smug smile as I looked down at my shadow.
Umbra: look, we don't have customs like this in the Netherworld. We have stuff like Inferno Ball, The Race To Laceration Mountain, even something called "Drinkageddon".
Midnight: so you wanna go to that dance because you wanna get to know about some human customs?
Umbra: ...yeah.
I laid back on my bed and got under that covers.
Midnight: well, either way, I don't even have a tux to wear.
