Bart was very proud of himself. He had a suit that fit (mostly) and his grandpa's red bow tie that he'd finally managed to tie properly. Plus, he actually had a date! And a pretty one at that! So take that older guys.
He also had two condoms in his back pocket- but only because Grandpa Barry had insisted ("just in case"). In case of what, Bart wasn't sure. But he assumed if a freak balloon animal fight arose, he'd be the most prepared kid at the dance.
Before they actually walked into the dance, Bart stopped to put his mask on and glanced at his reflection in the glass of one of the windows. He then turned to Mia and held out his arm. "Ready?"
