Who: Lily and Shawn
Where/When: Dating! 50's Diner!
Why: So Shawn can pretend he's the Fonze. Lily has red hair, she'll be Pinky Tuscadero. Don't jump the shark, Shawn!
Warning: WIP. 50's rock n roll.

Lily smoothed her skirt over her legs, the cotton soft under her fingers. She hadn't been sure what to wear, it seemed like California was not as formal as Hogwarts, and had to borrow a sundress from Victoria, her host family's daughter. Victoria was much more busty and Lily felt a little lost in the clothing. She was sitting on the stairs up to the house's porch, soaking up the sun and waiting for Shawn.

Shawn seemed really nice and witty, it would be fun to mock Johnny English and maybe heckle the dancers. Lily was also looking forward to seeing the jukebox, hoped the place they were going would have one. She kinda wished she had a poodle skirt, and that Shawn would show up with a pack of cigarettes rolled up into his sleeve.

Shawn rolled up to the address Lily had given him in Henry's beloved F-150, and if his hair was a little pomp'd up for the occasion, well never let it be said that Shawn did not go all out to impress a girl.

He almost wished for a cigarette to help his nerves a bit. There was a ~~big~~ part of him that considered cheating... in a way. But that was a silly emotional part that he could safely ignore.

Besides, he wasn't feeling.... bad juju-y anymore, well, not as much. Which is something even he could see needed to be encouraged and supported. Like a little chick just out of the egg.

He noticed her sitting on the stoop waiting. Parking next to the curb, he hopped out of the driver's side and walked over to her.

"Hey Red. How's the Prime Minister doing?"

Lily steepled her fingers together and gave him a serious look. "He is very concerned about the lack of cat-calling at cheerleader practice." Shawn was cute, with a very distinctive profile, and she liked his hair. Reminded her of the Fonze's a little. Just needed more grease. "He feels if the Syncratic male student body doesn't step up it's efforts, he'll send his top man over. And we both know who that is."

She stood up, picking up her sweater and walking towards the truck. "Your truck is very American. How many acres of rain forest were destroyed so you could fill up today?"

	Shawn tilted his head to the side as if in thought. "Hugh Grant?" He smirked and offered his hand to help her up and walk her over to the truck. "Being made in America, I know I was totally disappointed it didn't come out looking more Japanese. And about an acre or so. Pesky trees get in the way of my hamburger consumption."

As they both climbed into the truck Lily leaned over and lightly smacked Shawn on the arm. "Hugh Grant? He's a national treasure. For such dirty work involving you low down dirty Americans, we would send Johnny English of course."

She wiggled back against the truck's seat, appreciating the feel of the cushions dramatically. "Oh, Shawn, I hope endangered animal skins were used when making the upholstery. This is nice." She folded her sweater into her lap, tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and grinned at him. "So tell me where we are going."

Starting the car, Shawn snuck a peek at Lily's wiggling before pulling the truck out and down the road.

"Where we're going? Damn. I was so hoping you'd be a natural redhead." He winked in the hopes that she'd get the joke. "Do you think I normally put this much effort into my hair for nothing? Fifties Diner it is. We're going to share a malted milkshake in the booth closest to the jukebox and do the Mashed Potato on the dance floor."

Only downside is that they'd probably get a ton of stares from the local diner hacks. Especially when you consider that the only people who dress up for the diner are those who get paid to be there. But attention whoring, even on a date, has never bothered Shawn Spencer in the slightest. Hopefully, Lily would enjoy the show, or suffer an untimely death by embarassment.

"Oh, so there is a jukebox!" Lily smiled at him, folded her fingers together. "What song will we listen to when they mash the potatoes?" She looked over at him innocently. "And yes I'm a natural redhead. Though I do have blond moments."

They drove in silence for a moment, and Lily cleared her throat politely. "You need to tell me all about being an American. All I get is Bruce Willis and explosions and lots of sex." Blushed a tiny bit and looked out the window. "And what's it like being a twin? That'd be like an instant best friend for your whole life."

"Probably the Mash Potato. Sounds fitting to me." He winked again. Ugh. He was going to have to stop doing that. More than once strayed into either 'creepy pedo' territory or 'head injury.'

He almost slammed on the breaks at her mention of sex. Not that he's a prude, but it's not something he expected to hear about before they even got to dinner. "I can promise you, there is a lot more to American than Bruce Willis. Don't forget, we also have Brad Pitt AND George Clooney."

He got quiet at the mention of Tess though. "Besides Bruce and explody sex, what else did you want to know about America? Specifically California as in that instance I can be pretty much declared an expert."

Lily giggled. "Explody sex? Sounds messy." She knew she was bright red but sometimes certain opportunities arose and one had to take them. Despite manners and things that should not be mentioned. She cleared her throat again. "Okay, things I want to know about California. Is Disney Land as horrible as it sounds? Do you really have an actor as a governor? And..." She tapped her lips thoughtfully. "Is it always 72 degrees and sunny?"

Shawn was slowing, and Lily looked to her right to see a white building coming up, awash in neon stars and blue moons and light. Really, America seemed to love to light things up. Hogwarts was all about fire light and flickering candles. After the brightness and color of American, Lily wasn't sure which she preferred.

"Only on holidays, yes, but that really shouldn't be too crazy since we've already had an actor for President and not during an El Nino. Covered everything?"

He smirked at her blushing as he parked the car and hopped out. Rushing around to the other side, he opened the door and helped her down, as any true gentleman should.

"Enough with the questions. Let's go twist and shout!"

The place was done in bright red leather seats and flecked white formica. Lily was pleased to see a huge jukebox reigning supreme on one wall; digging in her purse she found several quarters and approached it. Picked a few songs, mostly from knowing the title, and rejoined Shawn as the first song started to play. Surfing USA. Lily thought is was appropriate, given where they were.

"Hey, Shawn? Can we get malteds? Do they have malteds here?" After they took their seats Lily grabbed up a menu, giggling over the names. "Look. Moons over My Hammy. Get it? Like Miami? That's droll." She glanced around at the other patrons, who weren't nearly as enthusiastic as Lily thought they should be. "When does the dancing start?"
