I don't own the characters!

"No!" Percy cried. "I know it's the school dance, but I am not gonna wear makeup!"

"Come on, Percy!" Alicia whined. "It's only one night!"

"Wearing a dress is bad enough," Percy said. "There is no way I'm wearing makeup!"

"Guess I'll have to do this the hard way then..." Alicia muttered and lunges at Percy. Percy, who was taken by surprise, fell to the floor with Alicia on top of her. Alicia then grabbed a rope and tied Percy's hands to her body.

"Why do you have rope?" Percy asked.

"No reason," Alicia said and lifted Percy of the ground so that she sat up. "Like I said, this is the hard way."

"I need new friends," Percy muttered.

"Sure you do," Alicia said sarcastically. "Now, ill untie you if you wear makeup."

"Fine," Percy said. "I'll wear makeup. Honestly, have you been possessed by Aphrodite or something."

"God, no!" Alicia said. "I'd make you wear a pink dress if I were."

"True," Percy said.

Alicia untied Percy and then proceeded to do her makeup. It took a while, but it was done eventually and Percy didn't think it was that bad. They then proceeded to do each other's hair and get in their dresses. Once they were finished Sabrina arrived and half an hour that Roy did too and they were on their way to the dance.

(Keep in mind that I have no idea how school dances work, I've never even been to one)

Percy smiled as she walked into the gym, lights in different colors bouncing off the walls. Music played and everyone was chatting which resulted in a really loud mix of noises. Percy immediately spotted Connor and Megan talking while dancing. Did Connor know how to dance? Did Megan know any "earth" dances, or was she just dancing Martian dancing? Percy didn't recognize the dance, so either the genomorphs messed up and taught Connor some weird ancient dances, dances that don't exists (yet) or some dances from another planet. Of course, it could also be some Martian dance (or Percy just didn't know a lot of dances), but Connor was taking the lead.

"See you around," Alicia said, grabbed Sabrina's hand and puller her into the crowd.

"They're cute," Roy said, voicing his thoughts.

"They are," Percy said in agreement.

There was a moment at silence, for them. The other teenagers were still making enough noise that if noise could be used as energy it would probably be able to power the entire earth.

"I don't know how to dance," Percy smiled sheepishly.

"I know," Roy smiled. "But I do. Dinah forced me to learn how to."

"Of course she did," Percy said, chuckling."Just, don't do the chicken dance."

"No promises," Roy replies and winked.

"Roy," Percy said. "Don't."

Roy didn't reply he just put his hands on her hips, and she put her hands around his neck."If you do the chicken dance, I'll kill you."

"In front of everyone?" Roy asked.

"No, idiot. I'll do it outside," Percy explained. "Can't get blood in the floor."

"You have a knife on you?" Roy asked with a slightly alarmed expression.

"You don't?" Percy asked.

"No? Of course I don't," Roy replied.

"Huh, not even an arrow?" Percy asked.

"How am I supposed to fit an arrow in this?" He replied, pointing at his clothes.

"Not even an arrow tip?" Percy questioned.

"No," Roy said and shook his head. "Let's just dance."

"As long as it's not the chicken dance," Percy smirked.

"It's not the chicken dance," Roy replied.

"Good."

It was quite a night for the both of them, one they really enjoyed. No matter how many death threats they threw at each other and no matter how many times they compared themselves to a normal couple after the threats. ("I don't see Sabrina and Alicia doing this!" "They're lesbians." "What does that have to do with this?" "...nothing?")

When Percy finally got out of the car, Roy by her side she was exhausted. Her legs were aching and her eyelids were heavy.

"Come on, Red," she said and yawned. Roy smiled and they walked up to his apartment. Roy unlocked the door and locked it again. They could've gone to the mountain, but right now they wanted some privacy. Percy changed out of her dress and into her pajamas, blue of course. While she was in the bathroom she wiped the makeup of her face, feeling relieved when it was completely off. She walked out into the bedroom and found Roy on the brink of sleep. Percy lay down beside him and feel asleep.

-

"Thanks for not doing the chicken dance," Percy said, sitting up.

"No problem. But, if I did. You wouldn't actually have killed me, right?" Roy asked.

"No promises," Percy winked.
