Background: Morgan is about 15 now and has just been asked out for homecoming dance which is just tomorrow.

--------------------------------------------------------

It was a normal day at Stark tower where Tony was busy in his lab but Morgan had a request for him today.

"Hi dad" Morgan said as she entered the lab.

"Oh hi. Wassup " Tony said raising this head only enough to see his daughter

"Umm...are you busy ?" Tony noticed the nervousness and asked. "Do you want something? " while smiling.

Morgan was nervous to ask him what she wanted the help with, so she decided to subtly enter the subject, "do you know what tomorrow is ?"
Tony scrunched his eyebrows trying hard to think. After a while he said, "I don't think it's anyone's birthday tomorrow"

Morgan mentally facepalmed herself I'm gonna have to tell him myself  "we have our homecoming tomorrow in school"

He didn't understand why she is telling him this "oh cool" is all he said before turning back to work. "What do you want help with? "

Now she started fiddling with her fingers, "Well....aguykindaaskedmeout so....I need help with the dance" she spoke quickly.

Tony put down the screwdriver and turned his chair completely to her "I'm sorry a guy WHAT !? "

"That's not important. I- " she was cut off by the genius

"Your not even gonna tell me his name ?"

"Ughh fine. It's William"

"Shakespeare or Wordsworth?" Morgan rolled her eyes on Tony's joke.

"No it's Edward"

Morgan saw a picture of William on a hologram screen coming towards Tony after he typed something on it. Her eyes widened and she ran between the screen and Tony when she realized that he was looking up William. She stood right in front of his face obstructing his view.

"Hey! Get out of my way" He tried to look at it by moving to the side but Morgan didn't let him. She is a smart kid too, she canceled and closed the screen but Tony immediately had it back up.

"Dad c'mon you cant look him up, it's just a dance I'm not even dating him" she said while crossing the screen second time.

"Alright fine!" Tony huffed raising his arms up in surrender.

Morgan said, "I need you to help me with the dance", knowing he would oppose.

Tony had already turned towards his work, the screwdriver back in his hands. He replied while chuckling, "you don't even want me to see his face and y'think I'll help you with the dance"

"Dad pleaaaaaaaaseeeeeee" she said giving him the best puppy eyes.

"Don't you dare use your eyes" Tony said already giving Morgan the win.

"Alright you win" he groaned frustrated. Can't believe my own daughter just blackmailed me with my own eyes.

Morgan smiled proudly as Tony packed up his tools. "Let's go to living room you need a better environment for dance."

Both of them walked to the living as Tony was selecting the songs and playlists and also setting the theme of living room. They reached and Tony put his hand out for his daughter.

"Just to warn you, not everyone does this only gentlemen like me do" Morgan rolled her eyes, another thing she had gotten from her father, while giving her hand.

They stood in position in front of each other. Tony's hand was resting on her waist while the other was holding her's.

"Where does this hand go? " Morgan asked waving her free hand in the air.

"Where do you think it will go ? On my waist ?"

"It's either your shoulder or ...I don't know ok!? that's why I asked you" she defended.

"Ya it's goes on my shoulder " he said chuckling

They danced to the soft music for some time. Morgan trying to copy her fathers moves and she was pretty good at it.

"Your doing great dear" He smiled at her. "But how has MY daughter never danced before? "

"Oh maybe because my dad didn't let me?! The last time I danced with someone, it was the avengers, and I was 5 and I was literally in their arms !!" She said getting playfully frustrated.

Tony started to laugh to the memory of their party. Where nobody swore, for the first time, not because they would upset cap, but because, Morgan was there and 'if she learned anything Stark would blame us'.

"Hey your doing really good. If your feeling confident then we can stop and order something to eat" he said in a serious tone.

"Sounds good! Thanks dad" Morgan said and kissed his cheek. "Cheeseburger?"

"Of course" he smiled at the choice of his daughter. "Make the order I'll just check on the dum-e "

She nodded turning to take her phone for ordering the food. Soon the food arrived and they were having their favorite food with coke, talking about random stuff, school, some of Tony's projects and much more.

It was time to sleep for Morgan so she was heading towards her room and Tony was just accompanying her on his way to the lab. "What time is this thing tomorrow? And am I dropping you off at school? "

"Party starts at 7 and Will is gonna pick me up at 6:30"

Tony nodded his head then getting confused "the party's at 7 why is he coming half an hour early?"

"To meet you" she simply replied, shrugging.

Tony raised his eyebrow. She didn't even want him to look at his picture. "you want me to meet him? "

"Of course. I have to get the approval from my male best friend, right ? " She said smiling. He felt emotional at this but being Tony, being Tony, did not want to show it.

" 'Male best friend' ?! I thought I was your bestest friend" He gasped acting fake hurt by placing a hand on his chest.

Both of them laughed at this. They reached her room and went in. "Its a big day tomorrow, go to sleep early" he said leaning down and kissing her forehead like he did when she was five. He turned turned around, grabbing the door knob to walk out.

"Dad" Tony stoped and turned around. "You go to bed soon too. If I wake up and see you working yourself out, I'll sell all your toys" she said trying her hardest to control her laughter as she was using his exact words.

He smiled at his daughters mature order. Feeling heavy, he just gave her a salute meaning 'aye aye captain'. He closed the door and walked away getting emotional, wondering when his daughter grew up.....
