Who: Open to anyone attending Homecoming.
What: Taunton Homecoming Dance
Warning: Explosions!

The gym had been decorated with streamers and banners. There was punch in the corner, and kids were dancing to songs that grownups had decided were popular. It looked just like a typical dance from any high school movie. The faculty must have done their research via Netflix.

It was Taunton's first Homecoming Dance. One of the women on the party planning committee was from America, and since Taunton had quite a few American students, they'd decided it would be a fun event. With the recent loss of the headmistress, they thought everyone could use something to cheer them up. They'd gone all-out, even holding elections for Homecoming King and Queen.

Sam had just "broken up" with Candy yesterday, but he'd told her he still wanted to take her to the dance, if she wanted to go. She was his best friend, and that wasn't going to change. Neither of them had another date, and he'd already bought the tickets, so they might as well go together.

	"Okay, it's okay, she'll be okay." He shook his head, moving towards the cooler outside air, "One of those sirens is an ambulance, two are fire." His brow furrowed, "Don't hear any police." Shaking his head he took a deep breath, coughing twice, "They're probably on the way too, others were probably closer." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sam raised a brow. That was weird, but kind of cool. Sam just heard sirens. "We'll probably need more ambulances," he said, glancing around. There were three or four kids lying on the ground. Others were sitting up, but looked injured.

"I think everybody's out. I'm gonna go over to Candy. I think Hope's on that side, too." He glanced up at Iggy. "You want to come?"

"They'll radio for more." He said, not finding it odd at all that he knew how emergency services worked, even though he'd never needed them, "Those guys were just closest, so they'll get here first and assess the situation, call out for whatever else is needed."

He was talking mostly so that he wouldn't worry, nodding at Sam's question, "Yeah." He caught the other boy's shoulder, not as firmly as he'd been holding on inside, but still in need of guidance, there was still a lot of noise out here.

Sam closed his eyes for a second when Iggy put his hand on his shoulder. There was a lot of conflicting crap going on in his head, and it made it hard to focus. "Fuck," he said under his breath. Couldn't anything be easy?

He lead Iggy around the side of the building to the second group of kids. Sam went to sit next to Candy, who was still out cold. Jade, Naruto and Esk were huddled around her.

Hope was sitting nearby, her knees bent to her chest and her wings folded around her. She looked up at Iggy and called to him.

	Iggy blinked up at Hope's voice, giving Sam's shoulder another squeeze before unfolding, making his way slowly toward hope, careful not to trip on anyone, settling himself beside her, arm sliding around her waist, "You okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hope smiled as Iggy settled next to her. "Yeah. I think I sprained my ankle.." She leaned against his side. "Everything else is fine, though. Don't really want to go to the hospital," she said, looking warily at the approaching ambulance. Iggy probably felt the same way about hospitals that she did. Just thinking about that sterilized smell made her nauseated. (Reply to this) (Parent)
