Anna groaned as she was lifted, inadvertently hiding her face in Gunner's chest as he carried her. She didn't wake up till she was in his bed and he was taking the corsage off. Her eyes flashed open and she tensed as her gaze locked on Gunner's face. She held herself warily, her eyes guarded... obviously she was ready for him to really lay into her. Then, she seemed to realize she was a) not outside with Serena anymore and b) not in her bedroom. Her brows drew together and she pulled her wrist up to her chest and rubbed at it with her free hand... "Where am I? Am I in your room?"

Before, being in Gunner's room would have been cause for some kind of joke... He'd been teasing her about coming to his room since freshman year and now he'd finally managed it except... neither of them had expected it to happen and certainly not like this. She sat up slowly, still feeling dizzy.... "Spend years hiding a scar from you and the others and then I do this..." She laughed bitterly and put her face in her hands, "I'm so stupid... You don't have to tell me... I know."

She pulled her knees up to her chest and struggled with the dress to keep it from slipping over and revealing too much. "Stupid fucking dress..." She shivered, "I just... I know it was dumb and I don't even know WHY I let it start to begin with... I don't even really REMEMBER.... but after that... I just... I wanted to..." She ran a hand through her hair, "I wanted to feel better... Judge me if you want but..."

She shook her head again and rubbed at her wrist again, trying to focus on it instead of the tears she knew were running down her cheeks again and instead of Gunner's face. She didn't want to see that disapproving look... she just.. wanted out of this dress and she wanted to sleep. "I hate these clothes..."

Sebastian watched Gunner go and then as Serena turned to him he smiled, "Hopefully, those two kiss and make up... but it might be too much to hope for." He glanced back at her as she asked him to dance, "Oh absolutely... How could I say no to those ears and that cute fluffy tail?" He took her hand and led her back to the party and then onto the dance floor. He pulled her close and began to dance with her, "Thank you for caring for Anna... and for slugging Gunner. He needed some sense knocked into him..."

As they danced he twirled her, careful of his toes as she spun back. "Are you having a good time... now that the drama is over I mean...? I haven't been a horrible date have I?"
