Aliens Stole My Alien Parents
Decided to try this scenario with a twist or two. The Zeezoob family just immigrated to Earth, settling in a small house in Copperdale. As soon as they got the basics unpacked, Mara and Oliver's da...

Day 6
Feeling a little concerned about money, Mara signed up to mow some lawns on the weekend.
After last night's fun on the pier, waking up at 6am on a Saturday was a bit uncomfortable.

Oliver had a better morning. He was at the library and this girl Elsa challenged him to chess
After work, Cassandra came over.
Mara, Cassandra and Gemma went to Thriftea to knock together some outfits for that night's Fall Formal dance.
And then there was a phone call
Oh well... Time for the fall formal!

"Haha, meck-chate!" crowed Oliver before long.
"Meck-chate? How did you manage to beat me?" mused Elsa, puzzled. "I'm a genius and everything."

"That's okay, we can still be friends. And I challenge you to a rematch in the not too distant future."
"You got it."
"How did he manage to beat her?" mused Darling, puzzled. "She's a genius."

After work, Cassandra came over.

Mara has this idea that she and Rohan, and Cassandra and Kiyoshi, could become two couples. She is sort of overcompensating for her crush on Cassandra.
"So, you and Kiyoshi seemed to be getting along well at the pier last night? I think he likes you. He's pretty cute isn't he? Do you like him back?"

"Uh, maybe... Do you really think I should try?"
"Definitely!"

A lot of people were wearing Mara's outfit "High School Class."

Here's Mara's new outfit for the fall dance. Gold formal dress, flowered red hat, round green necklace, tons of bracelets. She calls it Applecore.

But before we go out, a disco nap is necessary. She's been up since 6am after all.

Huh? No one had any idea that Kiyoshi had a partner. How did that happen?
Mara felt very embarrassed. I felt confused.

They went in one big group, no one had a date.
Cassandra and Mara tiptoed around each other a little. Kiyoshi wasn't there, which was just as well.
Mara spotted Rohan in the corner, trying to avoid talking to Jeb.

She invited him to get a bowl of dal together

And finally for a dance. (How come neither Slow Dance nor Sweetheart Dance nor regular dancing completes the "dance" task in the prom window?)
https://i.postimg.cc/gJ38pYrr/11-dance-dancing.png
Mara voted for Gemma for prom royalty and she won!

Despite the awkwardness with Cassandra, this was a good night.
https://i.postimg.cc/25ZBdzQT/13-dance-photo.png
And then she got home and realized this last night of fall might be her last chance to actually plant the onion plants she had promised Oliver he could grow... and more lawn mowing in just a few hours... ugh

Oliver was happy.
