Nico was standing at her locker and two hands holding two tickets appeared in front of her face.
She turned and saw her girlfriend with a big goofy grin.
"What's this?" Nico asked.
"Tickets my dear." Xander said.
"To what my dear?" Nico asked.
"Oh. Only to the prom." Xander said.
"Who's picking up who and should I wear a suit?"
"You're picking me up and yes." Xander said.
"Can I bring Ricky?"
"Sure?" She said.
"What?"
" what?"
"Do you have something against Ricky?" Nico asked.
"No. I'm just extremely territorial. If he doesn't cross enemy lines." Xander said and grabbed Nico's butt. "We're fine."
Nico kissed her.
"PDA?! DETENTION!" A teacher screamed.
"Sorry I'm new. Question. Can we walk to detention while holding hands?" Nico asked jokingly.
Xander chuckled. The teacher mumbled something under his breath and walked away.
Xander and Nico sat alone in the room. Nico was laughing.
"So. Wait. You're telling me. You've lived here your entire life. And never stepped foot on a subway?" Nico asked hysterically.
"No I haven't. Stop laughing at me you bitch." Xander said and hit Nico on the arm.
"Owwie." Nico said and rubbed the spot Xander hit.
"Kiss it." Nico said like a baby and held out her arm.
Xander pecked her arm.
"Better?"
Nico nodded her head.
"You're such a baby."
"I'm your baby." Nico said.
"And I wouldn't have it any other way." Xander said and the two kissed.
After school Nico was laying on the couch with a blanket over her. She was silent and still. Alister laid next to her to see what was wrong.
"Nico! I'm home!" Ricky yelled.
Nico managed to force her eyes closed so it looked like she was asleep.
"Nico." He whispered and shook her.
Nico opened her eyes and forced a smile. "Howdy do." She said.
"Get yourself a tux because you're going to prom with me."
"Oh. Does Xander mind?" He said.
"She said it was fine." Nico said and pulled out a cigarette.
Ricky gave her a look.
"Chill out howdy. I'm taking a selfie."
Ricky looked at it and laughed. Nico pulled out her vape and started smoking.
"It feels so good to breathe again." She said jokingly.
Ricky smiled and shook his head.
"What's that?" Ricky asked and points at Nico's wrist.
She pulled it away.
"A wrist. Ever heard of it cowhand?" She tried making a joke.
"Give me your wrist." He said.
"Not happening." She said and kissed his cheek. She got up and walked to the bathroom.
Ricky was left on the couch dazed and blushing.
Nico sat on the sink and pulled out makeup. She put some on her wrist and let it set.
"Nico. We gotta get going." Ricky said.
