Who: Abby and Morgan (brief cameo of Carter)
What: Dance Advice 101
When: backdated Friday, February 17th, late afternoon, before the dance
Where: Mandy & Jack's apartment
Rating: High (Morgan kind of has a mouth on her)

Morgan was pissed, pissed and alone as always. She had been out since this morning, she didn't want to be out but apparently Mandy had curled into herself again and Morgan came out to give her time to cope. Damon...that rat bastard...'you'll love my gift Mandy, you'll be excited.' Bastard, what the fuck did he think she was going to think at that. She thought you were gonna fucking propose you moron, you had two separate days to do it, her birthday then Valentine's Day, and what did you get her. A plain old necklace, nothing sentimental or special about it. You didn't even say anything like 'I saw this and thought about you,' no nothing, here's your gift it's shiny. Then on Valentine's Day you gave her a key to your place, oh, but it don't mean she can move it...it just means she can come and go as she pleases, oh no wait, it means she can stop by...only if she clears it with you first. Moron. So on days like this Morgan would call out sick and the hospital and eat the sweets Mandy always has stocked in the house, or on this occasion the box of chocolate the jerkwad gave her, at least he got something right. Once the chocolate was gone she had resigned herself to the small balcony they had on the apartment and she was trying to quell her anger with a cigarette.

Morgan didn't get to indulge in them much because she didn't want Mandy to suddenly have an addiction for them or end up having horrible lung problems from them, but every now and then it helped her relax. And tonight, she needed it so she didn't march her way over to Damon's apartment open it with that fucking key he gave her and beat the living shit out of him. No, Damon wasn't one of the few lucky one's who knew about her. Her best friend Gabby and her little sister Abby were the only one's who knew. She planned on telling Mandy's best friend and roommate Jack soon enough. She had stuck by her through thick and thin and Morgan liked how she also disapproved of Damon. Maybe with the combined efforts of the two of them they could get Damon out of Mandy's life for good.

Tonight however she knew Mandy planned on having a talk with Abby, a talk that now Morgan realized was now on her shoulders. No, it wasn't the sex talk, been there done that, luckily Mandy was well enough to give Abby the talk herself. Guess studying for medical school means using the proper terms like penis and vagina, erection and ejaculation, even to your preteen sister, doesn't irk you. No, tonight was the date etiquette discussion. Abby seemed to not be that interested in boys...yet. At least not in that manner, however, a boy asked her to be his date to the Valentine's Day dance to the school She didn't know but was pretty sure that boy did like girls in that manner. And she clearly remembered what boys that age were capable of. Mandy's first boyfriend was the same age, and that was when Morgan made an appearance, basically that was her birthday. Now she didn't think all fifteen year old boys were sex crazed animals, this boy seemed...okay, but still looks can be deceiving. He seemed harmless from when he picked her up for his movie premiere, and he did look a little frightened at the suspicious glare Mandy shot him as he left. Morgan did note the boy seemed have hit the peak of puberty and was one of the taller and more broad of the boys in his class. So that means his hormones were extra loud and if he wanted something from Abby he clearly could take it.

So Morgan waited on the balcony waiting to hear Abby enter the apartment since she promised Mandy she'd come over and get ready here. She chuckled at that. Mandy had to practically plead with her sister to let her doll her up somewhat, even thought Abby hates shit like that. Morgan had to agree with Mandy though, the girl needed to get dolled up, it was her first dance, well first formal dance, and with a date, she needed to wow him and everyone else. She had to make the other guys jealous of that Carter boy since he managed to snatch her up for this dance. However if he tries anything he will never snatch anything up again...he will be eating from tubes for the rest of his life...if he's lucky.

Abby begrudgingly grabbed the dress she had picked out at the store and slung it over her shoulder. The garbage bag she had thrown it in on a hanger swooshed back and forth as she walked over to Mandy and Jack's apartment from her father's house. She hated stuff like this but it was going to make Mandy happy to see her all dolled up so she gritted her teeth and did it anyway. But heels were where she drew the line. If she wasn't allowed to wear converse, she refused to let Mandy even touch her hair.

She sighed and grabbed the key from under the door mat to their apartment. "Ugh," Abby crinkled her nose at the smell of smoke. It wasn't much but she could tell that someone had been smoking in the apartment or was doing it out on the street at least. With out even announcing that she was there, Abby clambered into Mandy's room and noticed that she was on the back porch. "Really? You're the one smoking?" She tossed the dress on the bed and stared at Mandy sternly, clearly not amused. Did she occasionally forget the cigarettes contained carcinogens and their mother just so happened to die from that sort of thing? Abby sighed and shook her head disapprovingly - wasn't she supposed to be the younger, irresponsible other half of the pair?

"Come on, lets get this over with." Abby immediately started taking off her clothes, not caring if the door was wide open or the blinds were still up.

At the sound of Abby's voice Morgan looked at her from over her shoulder with a look,

"Excuse me, are you giving me sass? I am a grown ass woman and after the week I had I deserve to have one fucking cigarette and I really don't need sass from you missy." Morgan took one last puff of her cigarette and licked her thumb and forefinger to put it out before tossing it off the balcony. She always made sure to leave no evidence behind if she smoked or drank in excess at the house. She then went to pull her hair back into a ponytail, so let me see the dress so I can see what I have to work with?"

Abby rolled her eyes at her sister's response. "Hello, Morgan," she greeted the girl. Now she at least knew that it definitely wasn't Mandy, though she could have guessed that it wasn't Mandy since she didn't smoke. "You're going to give yourself away one of these days," she warned as she sat on the edge of the bed and tugged off her sneakers and pants.

Abby stood in front of her sister in her underwear and a bra, and pulled out the dress from the garbage bag she had thrown it in the protect it from the weather. She held the sparkly, champagne colored dress up to her body. The strapless, thigh length dress shimmered in the light. "Good enough?"

Morgan smirked at her greeting, "Now that greeting is the one I was expecting. Figured you know it was me since little miss Mandy doesn't like to tarnish her mouth with foul words and cigarettes obviously." She checked her appearance out in the mirror quickly and rolled her eyes, "Abby sweetie I won't give myself away, I'm had almost ten years of experience keeping my existence a secret. Those who know know better than to tell Mandy about me. She couldn't handle it, not yet at least. Also I'm out now instead of her because Damon is a fucking douche bag."

When Abby pulled out the dress Morgan let out a surprised laughed, "Wow...va-va-voom Abs! Your gonna give that boy toy of yours and aneurysm. He might have a hard time controlling himself...I'd hate if he did something to end up like Mandy's freshman boyfriend?" A wicked smile came to her face at that memory.

"She respects her body," Abby mused quietly, under her breath. Hopefully Morgan hadn't heard that remark - she really didn't want to have to explain where she got a bruise from, if Morgan decided to give her a small love tap which would probably be magnified because of her power. Abby gave Morgan a look. "Everybody slips up once in a while - even the great and mighty Morgan. For instance, Mandy was SO looking forward to helping me get ready for the dance and instead, you're here." Abby smirked and laughed a little. "Oops?"

Abby blushed a little when her sister made her comments and she tossed the dress on the bed, flipping it over to unzip it. She unhooked her bra and stepped into her dress, zipping it as far up as it would go and then she shuffled over to Morgan so she could do the rest. "He's not going to have an aneurysm. Maybe a nosebleed. ...but he'll totally be fine. We're just friends. And you're not beating him up. If anything, I'd beat him up and you'd just hear about it."

Morgan in fact did hear Abby's little comment but decided to let it slide, tonight she had to look awesome and she knew he lovetaps could sometimes come off a little harder than she means. She had to hold in her anger so not to rip the zipper off the dress at Mandy's next comment, "Don't you worry a thing about that Abs, all Mandy will remember is being curled up in a fetal position for a few days and assume that Jack helped you get ready instead. Also she would be hear if Damon hadn't totally crushed her heart by not proposing...again. Also his totally insensitive gifts."

Morgan's grin widened when Abby blushed, little sis had no idea how hot she'd look in that dress. She chuckled when Abby said he'd have a nosebleed...if that was true it almost made her want to go 'aw'...she didn't thought...she did say almost. She shook her head, "I wouldn't just beat him up Abs, I'd manually castrate him...I didn't do that to Chad...I should have though...that so would have been an awesome way to finish it with him...why didn't I think of that back then. Oh well I guess genius come with age." She then circled around Abby to look at her in the outfit and smile, "You look amazing. Now I think if you want we can pull your hair up into something pretty simple, and have some curly tendrils. And your make up and don't make a face as I told you I don't need it. It will be soft, just mostly nude shimmers. To go with the shimmer in your dress. Trust me I've seen Gabs do her makeup hundreds of time and she is always wearing the shiny sparkly outfits."

"You're such a nice person," Abby teased as Morgan told her about how Mandy would only remember being damn near comatose instead of helping her get ready for a dance. "Are you really surprised he didn't propose? I'm not..." Abby shrugged and rearranged her boobs in the dress before pulling her hair out from the inside of the dress.

"You are not castrating Carter," Abby rolled her eyes. For Pete's sake, the kid could barely even stand to read the word 'breast' never mind actually touch one! Carter was Abby's way of knowing she'd be able to go to the dance and have a good time without it meaning something more than just as an innocent 'we're-both-single-lets-take-each-other-instead-of-having-a-pity-party' kind of date.

Abby heaved a huge sigh and took a seat at the edge of the bed. She wasn't a fan of putting on make up or getting her hair done but she wasn't going to deprive Morgan and Mandy of having some fun. "Go on," she said, beckoning Morg over, "get it over with. I swear, if you poke me in the eye with a mascara brush or catch my eyelid in the lash curler, I will smack you. AND if you burn my ears with the curling iron..."

Morgan snorted, "Trust me I'm not surprised either, Mandy is the one living in delusional 'I'm gonna marry Damon' world. I know that guy wasn't going to propose, I'm starting to think he's never going to and Mandy needs to wake up and realize that. Just cause she slept with the guy doesn't mean she has to marry him."

Morgan rolled her eyes, "Well I won't have to if he doesn't touch you, don't let him touch your boobs...I've seen guys like him, they act all cute and sweet and innocent then the next thing they know they want the goodies and won't take no for an answer." She set the curling iron up to warm up and stuck a couple of pins in her teeth and managed to get out although it was muffled from the pins, "Also I know he's adorable but don't offer to let him touch your boobs so he's less nervous, like I said the innocent thing could be an act."

Morgan removed the pins from her mouth as Abby let out that sigh and proceeded to...threaten her. She tilted her head to the side, "You'll do what exactly. Stop bitching and sit still and I won't be forced to burn you. I've done makeup and hair quickly and efficiently more times than you can imagine and I only burn people when they piss me off and you're getting really close with this attitude. Sit still, stop with the sass or you will have to explain to your date why you have a big ass burn on your arm. Understand me?"

"Good luck explaining that one to her, Morg.." Abby wasn't about to burst her sister's bubble. If she could fool herself into thinking that Damon would propose, all the more power to her. But in the end, Abby knew she'd be there with Jack to eat tubs of ice cream with her and watch movies like Casablanca or Tristan and Isolde, and they could cry it out and then maybe pop in some Star Trek or Harry Potter. Abby specialized in damage control and picking up the pieces, not giving advice.

Abby rolled her eyes. "Carter's not going to touch my boobs. I was joking around with him over the boards and he wasn't even comfortable reading the word 'boob,' never mind even touching or seeing one." She adjusted her dress so that it was hiked up and she crossed her legs indian style as she sat on the edge of the bed. "Morg, if I want him to touch my boobs, I'm honestly not opposed to it. It's just skin. It's not that big of a deal.."

She rolled her eyes again and just sat still for Morgan so she could get it over with and just go to the dance already. She'd be glad when this was all over with, or at least when she could forget about her appearance and have a good time instead. Hopefully tonight she wouldn't get tossed in a garbage can and even if she did, she wasn't opposed to brushing off the garbage and getting back out there on the dance floor to have fun. Plus, she'd be in a crowd and Carter would probably hide her from the rest of the kids since he did tower over her.

Morgan let out a little laugh at that, "She never listens to me, however ever since Mrs. Marison died, God bless her soul, those nuggets of doubt I've been placing seemed to have taken root slightly. So she is starting to doubt that Damon is the guy for her or not. I just hope once she gets over him not proposing this time around she'll finally dump him and move on. She deserves to find someone who will treat her right and will actually want to give her forever. I think she's earned it don't you?"

She was very pleased to hear that apparently Carter got uncomfortable just reading the word boob so touching them was very far fetched. It made Morgan feel a bit more at ease and she made sure to pass that assurance onto Mandy. However Abby's next comment caused her to tense and accidentally tug a little hard on Abby's hair which her hands were currently buried in trying to work it into her up-do. "Abby! No! I understand it's only skin but fuck Abs, it's very different, it's a totally different context and I'm sure in a year or less you'll get that. You're only fourteen and I say there is no above the waist action until you're at least sixteen, the legal age of consent, even then I'd hope you at least are dating the boy for a while before you let him touch them! So no, you will not let Carter touch them. You don't want me to hurt him right?"

Morgan tried to calm down and finished pinning the last of Abby's hair up and then starting curling the few strands she left hanging down. She then grabbed a chair and sat down across from Abby and started applying just the bare minimum of makeup, just a little blush and a shimmer on her eyes and clear lip gloss. As a final touch she grabbed a thing of the sparkle powder she and the girls wore and work and dusted some onto her shoulders and a little bit on her cheeks. She smiled at her finished product, "Now I know you're adamant about wearing your converse and personally I think that's fine." She then opened her closet to reveal the floor length mirror, come on and tell me what you think?"

Abby shrugged in response to Morgan's comments. Abby was only a freshman in high school - how was she supposed to know anything about dating and getting married? She could care less if her sister got married or dumped her boyfriend. "As long as she's content and not eating herself into a chocolate coma, she can do what ever she wants." And that was that. Abby was washing her hands of the Damon situation.

She raised her eyebrow at Morgan as she started to flip out on her. Abby didn't see it as that big of a deal but apparently it was a bad thing. "So what you're saying that there's no above the waist action before I turn sixteen, but below the waist..." Abby grinned as she teased Morgan and stuck her tongue out at her. "If you hurt him, I'll never speak to either of you again. That means Mandy too." She was getting tired of the whole big sister threats to any guy who crossed her path. Carter was a good kid and he was just a friend - it was seriously unnecessary for her to threaten him; why couldn't she understand that?

Abby scrunched up her face as Morgan worked her magic with the make up. She had to admit, it looked nice. But it really wasn't her style. She wasn't the kind of girl to carry around an arsenal of make up in case she touched her eye lid and smudged something, nor was she even the kind of girl to carry around even lip gloss or own a pair of tweezers to tame her eyebrows. She took note of how her sister didn't dust her chest with any of the sparkly stuff and when she was turned around opening the closet, Abby quickly swiped some across her chest. It was barely noticeable and applied before Morgan could even notice.

Abs stood up and slid on her converse. Looking at herself in the mirror, she nodded. "Yeah, this will do I guess." She smiled smugly at her sister and sat back down on the edge of the bed.

Morgan gave a little laugh at that, "That's very true too, however, I'm rooting for a bit more than that. Since we do share...everything."

"Don't joke about that, no above or below the waist until you're sixteen. Actually no below the waist until you're eighteen. Better if you're legal everywhere," Morgan says with a stern glare then rolls her eyes, "Okay, I won't hurt him...you know enough of my moves to hurt him yourself if he tries anything. I just worry Abby, Mandy does too...you know because of the whole Chad incident. She just doesn't want that to happen to you and while Carter seems harmless...he's bigger than you and sometimes it's the innocent ones who end up not being so innocent."

Morgan let out a little laugh and a nod, "See it wasn't so bad, and it's not too much, you look awesome." Then there was a knock at the door, "That must be your date, wait here, you have to make a grand entrance."

She made her way to the door and opened it to reveal a slightly nervous looking boy who she recognized as Carter. "Oh...it's you," Morgan said wearing the same suspicious glare Mandy wore when he picked her up for the premiere. She then turned back, "Abby, Carter's here." Turning back to the boy she motioned with her head for him to come in. As he passed she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "If you touch her anywhere inappropriately I will make sure that you have no reason to have a girlfriend ever, capiche?" She felt the boy nod so she pulled away with a smile and let the boy pass.

"Calm down," Abby said as she rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to do anything." Honestly, what was so wrong with sex anyways? It wasn't like she was in a hurry to have kids or end up like those teenage parents but it just wasn't as big of a deal to Abby as it was to Morgan and Mandy. "Carter's fine. You're worrying for nothing."

Abby shrugged. "I guess I do look pretty good." She quirked an eyebrow when Morgan ran out of the room saying she'd get the door because she needed to make a grand entrance. Was there going to be a photo op too or something? Gosh... Abby didn't wait for Morgan to call her out of the room though and instead laced up her sneakers loosely, following after her sister.

She smiled lopsidedly at Carter. "Hey, you look good," she commented, motioning to his attire. He did clean up pretty well. But then again, most guys cleaned up nicely. "Ready to go?"

Carter was fiddling with the corsage he had in his hands, was he going to give her the wrong idea. Sure he had told guys in the past it was just a formality that it didn't mean anything, but now he was really concerned. Would Abby freak out and think that he was in love with her or something. Cause he wasn't, she was a cool girl and they both didn't have dates so why the hell not go together? He didn't have much more time to ponder over it because the door opened to reveal Abby's sister...Abby's very scary...yet hot...sister. She wasn't that much shorter than him and by the way she held herself and looked at him, she looked like she could beat him within an inch of his life without breaking a sweat. He knew his suspicions were confirmed when she leaned in and whispered a threat in his ear. He swallowed and nodded quickly.

Carter prayed that he wouldn't have to be alone with her for much longer. As if his prayers were answered he heard Abby's voice and let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. Then he saw her and all breath left him completely as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly. She looked amazing! Sure she had sort of dressed up for the premiere, nothing major and she didn't do much with her hair or any makeup so seeing her like this Abby actually looked like a girl. Well...of course she always looked like a girl...he felt said girly parts when he hugged her that one time...also she had smelled nice...but anyway. But it was like he was hit in the face with the fact that not only was she a girl, but a very pretty girl.

He snapped out of his stupor since he realized that he might be freaking her out or Mandy might be wanting to hurt him, making him want to get out of there as soon as possible. "Oh, this is for you. I got one for myself," he tugged on his lapel to show the red flower affixed to it, "didn't want to make you feel like you had to get one since I know I had to kind of talk you into going with me and stuff...thanks again. You want to put it on yourself or..." he looked over at Mandy who raised an eyebrow, "you should probably do it yourself...it's one for the wrist." He raised one hand to rub the back of his neck.

Abby looked at Carter a little confused. Why was he being so awkward about this? She looked down to make sure one of her boobs hadn't randomly popped out and her dress hadn't somehow gotten caught up her underwear. When all was clear and she knew nothing was wrong, she just bit her lip and and then smiled. She was almost tempted to go over and put his eyes back in his head and then close his mouth but Abby refrained from doing so.

Instead, she took the flowers from Carter and slipped them on her wrist. They were pretty nice considering he had gotten them, but Abby figured he probably had a bit of help from his mom or aunt, or possibly even Grace. "Thanks Carter," she smiled up at him and then looked over to her sister. "Snap your pictures quickly cause we're leaving in 30 seconds." She laughed a little and stood next to Carter, putting one of his arms around her shoulder and one of her arms around his waist. They looked innocent enough.

Carter was somewhat relieved when Abby gave him a little smile. It reassured him that he hadn't completely blown it yet. The flowers looked good on her and didn't outshine her dress which was nice. Thank you Gracie for telling him what color flowers to get to match her dress. Sparkles were hard to match.

Part of Carter wanted to slap his hand over Abby's mouth when she was so short with her sister. He knew she'd never hurt her sister but he was the next closest and he really didn't want to be on her bad side. He never knew she could be so scary, she seemed so sweet every time he saw her at the hospital, but I guess that changes when you are taking her little sister to a dance. He froze when Abby put his arm around her shoulder and slipped her own around his waist. Did she want him to die But he calmed the blush that had flamed onto his cheek and tried to smile. After a moment he pretended that Mandy was his Aunt Quinn taking photos and that made his strained grin turn into a gentle one and had him relax slightly against Abby. Once a few pictures were taken he let her go,

"So we should get going, aunt Quinn isn't the most patient." He glanced back to Mandy and swallowed then in a weak voice asked, "Um...my aunt Quinn told me to ask you for copies...you knew whenever you get around to developing them no rush or anything." He stepped back and fumbled with the doorknob for a bit before getting the door open and ushering Abby out. He shot one look back inside and saw Mandy give him that same stern glare and then did a motion that said, "I'm watching you." He gave a little whimper then made his way out shutting the door behind him.
