[Have a wave from her end of the feed!] Salutations, everybody! I hope you are all having a great day. I know I am!

[She looks to the left and to the right; her surroundings indicate she's in her apartment. Then, she leans closer to the feed and drops her voice to nearly a whisper.] So, don't tell Ruby, but you know how the prom's coming up in a few days? Well... I actually have a problem.

[She looks a little embarrassed.] I... don't actually know what people normally wear at a prom. The only time I've ever had formal wear on, it was picked out for me by Father, and it was just a normal dance, I think. [She also didn't actually get to dance with anyone but the bodyguards she had.]

So, um... does anyone know who can make dresses? Or know where I might be able to purchase one? If there's a special requirement for prom dresses, I'd like to know that too, please.

And... [She looks around once more.] I actually found out Ruby doesn't have one either, so I'd like advice on getting one for her as well. I guess it can be a surprise or something.

[And yet, she completely fails to lock this post from Ruby!]

Well, that's all for now. Farewell, fellow people! [She does a small salute before the feed ends.]

Hmm... I don't actually know much about what types of dresses are preferred, but I can certainly make dresses. All I need is a design and some fabric.

But! Why don't you two get matching dresses?

That'd be wonderful! I'm sure I can get some fabric, but I'm not very good at making design choices...

Oh! That'd work very well, I think.

No worries! I can bring some magazines and we can look through them or something. Pick out the best matching dresses to make ever!

What kind of person is Ruby?

...

Oh.

Right.

Dresses. Those are a thing.

Yes! You need one for prom, Ru--

[Wait.]

Y-You weren't supposed to see this! [ENGAGING PANIC MODE, PLEASE WAIT--

Well, Penny looks suitably embarrassed.]

I... Oh.

You were planning on surprising me, huh?

Er... I...

[Yup, Ruby's definitely looking embarrassed as well.]

Sorry?

[Engage even more panic mode! ... But she tries to look calm.]

N-No, it's not your fault! I... I meant to lock this. So it could be a surprise. [She shuffles her foot nervously.] Sorry. I kinda messed up.

It's all right! I just... Wow. I really do need to think about the dress huh...

It's all right, Ruby! [And she's back to... well, some form of confidence.] I can figure something out for both of us. Someone actually told me that it'd be good if we had matching dresses. And I think I can figure out something that you'd like, too.

True.. Could join you on the dress-shopping now, though! It'd probably be better that I be there to try things on anyways, huh?

... Only rule is, no lady-stilts, okay?

Do you like Ruby?

Of course! I like her a lot. She's probably the best friend I have.

[Whooooooooosh. That flew completely over her head.]

[ Time to be helpful! With fashion advice even! ]

Hmm, what kind of clothes does your girlfriend wear normally? And do you know her favorite color?

[ Or by being nosy. That works, too. ]

Well, I think her favorite color is red, but I'm not completely sure.

[A small pause, as she realizes a word she completely missed.]

Sh-She's not my girlfriend, though! We're just going to Prom together. [A beat.] As friends. [Another beat.] Also she normally wears combat-ready clothes, like combat skirts and stuff like that. Also a cloak.

[Despite that, she definitely looks pretty nervous about denying the sudden naming of the relationship.]

You sure? Because going to prom together sounds like you'd do with someone you're going together-together with...

[ Mikaela's grin turns a little sly, now that she realizes the opportunity for teasing. ]

...or would like to go together-together with?

Yes! I-I mean, no! I mean... [She's clearly confusing herself.] Maybe! I don't know.

People can't go as friends?

Oh! Well, yes, I mean, of course you can go as friends. If that's what you would like to do.

[ She shrugs, smiling brightly. ]

It's all up to you. And your friend.
