It's dinnertime, and Miss Riley Mae Stamper seems a little too confident as she clicks and clacks her way across the cafeteria, locates the table where Mina is hopefully eating (and hasn’t already eaten and dashed out to go do VERY IMPORTANT THINGS), and sets a cute pink polka dot box on the table. She takes the lid off, steps back, and several brightly colored origami cranes shoot out into the air, carrying a rolled up banner with them.

Then, with a splash of royal fanfare to get everyone's attention, the banner unfurls.

Riley Mae, Princess Bae,
Needs one fine ass date to make this dance great.
But I ain’t causing no scene for some common queen,
I want Wilhelmina, Prom Czarina,
To tell me what to do (and maybe let me touch her booty too).
So Lady Tran, you gonna take my hand
And make this prom super hella bomb?

Riley and Casey and Mina and Levi for Prom Royalty 2014

Riley sits on top of the table below her glittery monstrosity, fluttering her eyelashes and cocking her head to watch Mina’s reaction to her, uh, display.

LEVI.

Mina should go with whoever she wants. Leave her posters alone. Cecil will be so sad. :(((

[indiefolk]

Diego's a little emotional. Mina and Riley deserve the best (aka one another).

[riledup]

Riley threw Diego a very obvious wink when she walked by Diego with her box, like he would know exactly what was up.

[casperkim]

Casper hasn't judged Diego so hard in months and makes not attempt to hide it. Sorry.

[gdilevi]

Levi's only acting emotional, but he looks to Diego, takes a deep, shaky breath, and fans his eyes to dry the tears that aren't threatening to spill. "Oh my God, I knew this day would come..."

[wilhelmeana]

"What," is the only word Mina manages to get out before Riley Stamper, Azurcrest's smallest and loudest disease carrier, is opening the somewhat cute garishly decorated box and the rest of her promposal unfolds. Because this is what all... this... is. A promposal. For her.

It was always in Mina's twelve-step senior year plan for someone to do an obnoxious, attention-grabbing promposal for her. Although this plan always assumed she'd have a boyfriend by now, properly vetted over the course of two months to not embarrass her, and not completely out of nowhere by Riley Stamper, tackiness embodied in human form. Or maybe not... completely out of nowhere. Oh fuck, was this what the Dyngus Day thing was about? Was Stamper one of the clearly strung-out people who wrote a nomination for her? All those sexually aggressive comments on the anon posts?

The following thoughts occur to Mina:

1. No.
2. FUCK no.
3. Who would even vote HER for Prom Queen, when they could have Cricket or Quinn, or Ivy or Etta? This is a joke. This MUST be a joke.
4. On the other hand... if she throws in her lot with Stamper, Patterson and Kramer, she might just have a shot. They're REPELLENT but nauseatingly popular.
   1. No. Are you serious? There is NO WAY IN HELL they're allowing Riley, Casey or Levi to make Prom Court. They're only on the ballot to not make this look like such a Teacher's Pet Suckup Party.
   2. But... what if they DO have a chance? They would've never made the ballot in previous years. What if 2014 is the year it all changes and Prom Royalty elections ACTUALLY become democratic?
   1. The idea that Riley, Casey or Levi might be DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED is horrifying.
   2. It's Prom Court. It doesn't matter.
   3. OF COURSE IT MATTERS. IS HOW THEY WANT TO REMEMBER THE 2013-14 SCHOOL YEAR??? TOTAL PROM ANARCHY AND THE DISSOLUTION OF THE SOCIAL ORDER AND like, some creepy forest happenings???
   3. No. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Joining with these bozos would OBLITERATE her reputation.
   4. ...Not that she had much of a reputation to begin with. What's better, NO CHANCE IN HELL or the sliver of an SOCIALLY HUMILIATING chance?
5. She can't ACTUALLY be seriously considering this.
6. "Wilhelmina, Prom Czarina" does kind of have a nice ring to it...
7. Okay, what's the ABSOLUTE WORST that could happen? Dancing with Riley? That would be... fine. Tolerable, even.
   1. Dancing with LEVI KRAMER as Prom King and Queen. UGHHHH.
   2. Maybe she throws a doggie treat in Honeychurch's direction, he'll get distracted and insist on forgoing the traditional dance.
8. Will Levi even wear a suit that doesn't have galaxy print on it?
9. Will Casey even wear a shirt?
10. Will Riley even wear a shirt?
11. How bad can it be? After all, Diego likes all of these people, doesn't he?
12. On the other hand, Diego likes all of these people.

"Stamper." She doesn't sound completely repulsed, which is maybe a hopeful sign. "How much of... this is open to negotiation?" Mina circles a finger in the air around Riley's hideous poster at "this." After a second's consideration, she draws another larger circle around Riley.

fuck I love this

[riledup]

Riley crosses one leg over the other, bouncing her foot and dangling one impractically tall high heel off her obnoxiously painted toes. She looks up for a second like she's thinking, and not at all like she's offended or even mildly worried she'll be embarrassed by a very public refusal.

"How much of this," she doesn't gesture, but raises her eyebrows suggestively, "do you wanna negotiate?"

[wilhelmeana]

She's fearless, Mina will grant her that. She always assumed that Riley was too stupid to know when to properly feel fear, but she's smart enough to pose herself like a girl who knows full well that her miniature assets have a certain amount of wretchedly undeniable appeal.

Mina folds his arms in front of her chest. She will not be the first to show weakness. "Do I have to vote for Kramer and Patterson?"

[riledup]

Riley presses her lips together and thinks, because, okay, Casey is her running partner and all but all that really matters to Riley is whether or not that tiara is on her damn head. Still, he would be butt hurt if she dropped his ass so quick in favor of a cute prom date.

"Vote for Casey," she says, narrowing her eyes and nodding, like yes, this is a good haggle. "You know Levi's already got this shit on lock."
