[color=#cc33ff]"Honestly, if my dad thinks we're a couple, it's whatever. Besides, I doubt he'd get that impression - he'd understand that we'd really just be going as friends. Just a formality that you'd be down as my date for the event purposes,"[/color] Guin explained with a shrug. It was hard to justify bringing a friend with her to a charity ball. But if Lance was her date, then it was easier to get him inside. She was more worried about the potential that Maddie might find out about it and turn Lance's life into a national spectacle.

[color=#cc33ff]"Besides, my dad might get pissed if he finds out you went to work for Hammer Industries,"[/color] she pointed out with a bit of a laugh. [color=#cc33ff]"The ball itself is in two weeks - plenty of time before the Expo. It also gives us time to figure out exactly what we're doing, for me to write the code and whatnot... And for us to convince my dad that you should be added as my plus-one to the guest list. He's kinda scrutinizing everything I do since...well, you know."[/color]
