Natalie was waiting in the foyer of the girl's dorm building when she heard the knock at the front door. Opening it, she'd see Archie dressed smartly in a black shirt and dark jeans, which was more surreal than she was prepared for. And he'd see her, in a dress and tights, which wasn't the most classical combination out there. Still, she hoped she looked alright. In fact she hoped that Archie found her beautiful. It's homecoming. She felt like she was allowed to want that today.

Natalie smiled, and stepped out into the open air. It was a little colder than he was expecting and she usually dressed in jeans and cardigans. She involuntarily shivered as she approached Archie. Her nerves were going crazy right now. Unlike Archie, her 'turns' weren't a result of her heart-rate or adrenaline, but of her mental stress and fear. A date shouldn't trigger her into a blood rage or anything. It was weird to even think of this as a date, but there was just not question. It was homecoming. They were dressed up. He was picking her up. This was a date.
