A little while into the dance, Buffy showed up wearing a long pink dress. She liked the way it looked in the store the day before, so she figured it was good enough for Prom. While school had technically ended for her, she figured that she might as well attend Prom. Even Ash had encouraged her to, and when Mr. Broody was going to a party, well, then she had to go.
She walked inside by herself, looking for anyone that she knew that she could hang out with for a while.
