Subj: I think we've been set up
Meggan,
Amanda is throwing paperclips at me, and she says I'm supposed to email you about the prom. Marie-Ange says I'm supposed to ask you about colors, whatever that means. I'm telling you this so that you know that you're in good hands when it comes to this thing--between the two of them, I doubt they'll let me screw it up too badly.
Oh. And, um, hi. How've you been?

Subj: No doubt about it--definitely set up
Jake,
Been wonderful. You?
I have faith in you. Colors? She probably means to match dresses with corsages. Try something that’s a light purple, since that’s the color of my dress.
Oh, and I won't be asking you to look like Zac Efron or a Jonas brother or any other Disney person, so don't worry. It'll only be for the first five minutes, give or take. Justin Hartley, Alan Tudyk, or Elijah Wood? Your pick for who you would be most comfortable looking like for a short period of time.
Meggan
P.S. There’s extra cake in it for you the day after prom. You really do deserve it--how does chocolate cheesecake with icing sound? Or maybe something with a lot of fudge poured on?

Subj: There are worse things, though
Meggan,
Can't complain. Of course, if I did, your sister would throw more things at me. ;) How's life at the madhouse?
Corsages? Here I thought it had something to do with what color I was supposed to be...
And that I can do. I shall ponder which of these is prettier.
Jake
ps I vote for both. There's no such thing as too much chocolate. Or icing. Or fudge.

Subj: True--and it's great fun
Jake,
Watch out for some of the thrown pencils--Amanda's a great shot. As for the madhouse--other than being nutty as only a madhouse can be--it's been going great.
Now I'm struck with the image of those three changing colors every few seconds like a strobe. That would be a hoot, but we might get in trouble.
PS: Good choice, and I have to agree. You can expect to see your chocolate cheesecake with icing and fudge poured (because dribbling just isn't enough when it comes to adding fudge) all over it by noon the day after prom.

Subj: We still should get back at Kurt and Amanda, though
Meggan,
True. It's amazing how much damage one properly aimed paper clip can do. Glad to hear it about the madhouse--well, maybe not the nutty parts.
We can get in trouble for changing colors? (Well, okay, I could probably manage, but...still. That sounds a little harsh. Still--wanna try?
Jake
ps I think you might've just become my new best friend.

Subj: The question is, how? Water balloons?
Maybe if it was neon bursts of colors that hurt people's eyes we'd get in a tiny bit of trouble--otherwise, it should be okay. Less painful to the eyes, anyway.
Yeah, let's try it. Revolving colors--or polka dots or stripes for a few seconds?--would be funny.
PS: Hey, want me to add a couple sprinkles to all of that, too? Or would you collapse because of an overdose of all that sugary goodness?

Subj: Enlist our friends with superpowers?
Deal. We could even color-coordinate, or clash, depending on how things go?
Jake
ps I have a strong constitution, at least when it comes to sugar. Do your worst.

Subj: My kind of sad attempt at evil laughter means that's a big yes.
Color-coordinating it sounds fun. At some point, we'd have to do it where one of us is polka dotted, and the other is striped, too.
PS: Will do. You'll see if there's a dollop of whipped cream thrown in, too, the day after prom.

Subj: I knew there was a reason I liked you so much.
I think we need to do some hideous plaid as our big finish.
Jake
ps Oooh. Bribery--my favorite kind of topping.

Subj: More evil laughter goes here--sounds more like muffled giggling that wants to be evil laughter when it grows up, though.
Hideous plaid of varying shades of brightness would be perfect for the big finale. Good thinking.
Meggan
PS: Well, I aim to please when it comes to the massive amounts of sugar.
