Hello Eden, it's time for a prom...Jett tag Eden

[Jett Chen]

Jett was ready to go. He had to admit. Taking Eden to prom. A real date. Sure they had a few but saying the word date and Eden together was just weird. But thats what it was. Jett preferred to think of it as two people enjoying each other's time and going out. Most of the time it led to some if not all the clothes coming off, but that was not the point.

The point was this was new territory to be honest and what happened next was anyone's guess. But Jett was enjoying it so far. He had a white hat to add to his outfit and grabbed the crosage for Eden and headed out the door. Only after warning Izzy and giving her some condoms. He had to be the brother in that sence. he didn't realize not everyone thought like he did. Then again he was sure Eden would be expecting it and would probably enjoy making him stick to the dance.

Jett got into the limo and waited anxiously in the not so long drive to her house. Once there he got out and walked up to the door. He hoped Ben was still home so he could say hi to him to. he was curious if his best friend was going or not. Jett rang the bell. Now all he could do was wait.

Eden was nervous. Sure, she'd been officially been dating Jett for awhile, but it was still weird when they were in public. It was much more comfortable when it was just the two of them. Still, she was excited to go to prom and she was excited to be hanging out with Jett and Izzy for the night. While, she was sad that her brother wouldn't be in attendance, but she knew that he'd be happier chilling at home that he would at the prom alone or with some random girl.

He'd already headed out for the night in fact, and Eden was at the house alone, all dressed up and ready. When the bell rang, Eden slipped her feet into her heels which were the last piece of her outfit and walked over to the door. She opened it up and smiled seeing Jett standing there. "Hey," she said. "Nice tux...its been awhile since I've seen you all dressed up," she admitted.

She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the lips. "So...do you want to come in for a second or should we just head out?" she asked. She'd been sipping on some wine and had some left, but didn't necessarily have to drink before heading to the prom.

Jett took one look at Eden and she was gorgeous. He never had his eyes pop out at the sight of a girl before, but right now they were. "If I say you look handsome you gonna hit me." He smirked. "Then i guess you look alright..I mean...I just expected more of a..." Jett started before cracking up to show it was yet another joke and him just messing with her like they always did, "Seriously though, you look gorgeous Eden. really gorgeous." He returned her all too brief kiss.

"Yeah i can come in. I can taste the fun already, where you hiding the rest." No one said drinking a little before prom was not allowed. He pulled out the corsage and delicately placed it around her wrist once they were inside. He pulled her in for a deeper kiss. "You almost tempt me to miss prom all together. But you know we can't. I have never seen you dance its about time I see what skills the white girl has in her." Jett laughed. Mostly cause he always teased her about her dancing skills.

How could he not. "Ben here?" He asked. "I wanted to say hi before we left." No doubt Ben would go into big brother mode and have some speech ready for Jett. Sometimes Jett was amazed he was dating Eden. He didn't know when his feelings started, but some how along the way he fell hard for the girl even if he was not admitting to just how hard he had fallen.

[Eden Patridge]

"I'll probably hit you no matter what you say," Eden quipped. Anymore she was more comfortable just giving it right back to him. Really that had been the basis of their relationship anyway...arguing and giving one another a hard time. "You don't look so bad yourself," she said when he did compliment her.

She laughed when he commented on the wine. "It's over here," she said holding up the bottle. but she'd already stuck the cork back it. "Here, help me finish my glass and then we'll head out, or perhaps we can finish it in the limo," she said. He placed the corsage on her wrist and kissed her again this time deeper. She had to admit that she didn't mind. "Well, as tempting as it is, we can stay in any night," she pointed out, "plus, I know Izzy will be waiting for us at the hotel," she said. "What are we doing about that anyway? Did you end up getting a room or are we just staying here?" she asked. She'd of course already told him about surfing in the morning with Felipe.

"And I wouldn't be too excited about my dancing skills," she smirked as she took a sip of her wine and handed the glass over to Jett. Eden wasn't much of a dancer. Or maybe she was really good...the thing was, she had no idea. Aside from the dancing she'd been doing for the school play, which was all choreographed, she'd never danced much. Sure, she'd been able to pick up those moves just fine, but she honestly didn't know what to do for dancing when she was on her own and she doubted it would be too cool to bust out the moves they'd taught her for Grease at the prom.

"Nah, Ben already headed out. I don't think he wanted to be anywhere near the couples," she teased. Once Jett finished the wine, she grabbed two clean glasses and the remainder of the bottle. Handing it to Jett she then grabbed a new one. "We might need this for later," she said with a laugh. Eden didn't know the first thing about wine other than it tasted good. Usually her mom left some around the house and she'd drink some on occasion when she felt like being fancier than the usual beer or mixed drinks. But with the fresh bottle and clean glasses in her hand, she was ready to head to the limo and to the prom.

[Jett Chen]

Jett smiled at Eden. Typical Eden. Never gave herself enough credit. He was sure her dancing skills would be good enough. "White girls who can't dance. Never heard of it." He smirked. "If you can't dance then i get free reign to make fun of you. Which means you will have to pull out your dancing shores...right Raine." He laughed at the use of her middle name and a reminder. He helped her finish the wine and too kthe extra bottle.

"I got a room. Since the hotel is right on the beach I figured it was perfect and close to the surfing lesson. It will save you at least tne minutes. I already tod the drive to get your surfbaord. The one you keep in the hall." He told her. He knew Eden well enough to know where she kept her surfing gear, so it was not hard to distract her with wine and kisses while the driver got her gear. "Izzy and Taki sharing the room. it's a suite with two bedrooms. One on each side so the noise should not be a problem. I know you can never keep quiet." He joked.

Jett followed her tp the limo. "Shall we toast." He asked pouring the glasses. "To a night I never thought I would see you at. I was sure you would spend prom high. Unless I was your date of course." Jett could not help joking around with her. "How has the week been? I barely seen you." He said to her, which was not uncommon cause he had a lot of jock stuff to do before he graduated.

[Eden Patridge]

Eden scoffed. "That's okay, make fun of me all you want...I've seen you dance so I think I'll have plenty of my own material to work with," she said, giving him a look...dishing it right back. It sometimes seemed so funny to think that she hadn't been able to do that before. That when he used to tease her that she'd just complain and whine about it. So much had changed. She was a stronger person now...or at least she thought she was. Really, she was still weak, she was just different. She had just started clinging to Jett for support instead of Ben.

She simply gave him a look when he mentioned the Raine thing. "It's not my fault you can't tell one blonde from another. I mean, I know I was wearing a mask, but you gotta admit, it was pretty sad," she said in a teasing tone.

"Okay," she said. "Well...actually we're just surfing here," she explained. The twins house sat right on the beach and since their beach was technically private (meaning the only access was from them, their neighbors, or random people who actually walked down their from the public beach entrance which was a few blocks away) they tended to prefer to surf there. Sure a lot of times on weekends they'd maybe go down to a different stretch of beach, one with better waves, but for usual everyday surfing they preferred to stay home. "Felipe has never surfed before so its not like we need the better waves," she explained. "But it's okay, I can just get up early and head back," she said with a shrug, not really minding that they had a room. Sure the twins basically lived on their own anymore and so did Jett and Izzy, but still having a room would be new and different and Eden liked the idea.

She gave him a look when he mentioned her not keeping quiet. "I bet you're just worried that you'll hear your sister not being able to keep quiet," Eden said with a smirk. She knew that Izzy was still a virgin but she also knew she was thinking about losing it to Takumi. Maybe prom night wouldn't be the night, but Eden wouldn't be surprised if it was either.

"Sure," she said holding up her glass, simply giving him a look about his toast, a look that said I don't think that's very funny...okay I do...but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction...it was that exact look, one that Jett probably knew well by now. "My week has been...eh, nothing too exciting," she shrugged. "What about you? Anything new and exciting going on?" she asked as she took a sip of her wine. She was glad that Jett hadn't poured much because it wasn't a far ride to the prom. She was sure they'd drink more of it later, but probably not until after the dance.

[Jett Chen]

Jett was laughing until Eden mentioned Izzy. "Excuse me. She better not. Or else I will talk about Ben being loud and see how you like it." Jett would always think of his sister as little miss innocent. Especially after her whole ordeal the summer before. He and Ben were similar like that. Both had a need to protect their sister from being hurt by men, even if the man was a nice as Takiumi. Jett just didn't want his little sister getting hurt. Jett didn't see Taki being the guy to do that but never knew.

"I can come back with you. Drop you off and then head to my own place and crash for the rest of the day cause unlike you I remember last years prom and your nuts for wanting to wake up early." That was kind of charming in a way. What Eden would do for surfing. it was cute. "As for the two blonds, you don't see me arguing." he said laughing as the limo headed to the prom. He smiled and pulled her closer as both finished their wine glasses. He told the driver to have it all taken to the room.

"Shall we see if white girls can dance?" He asked helping her out of the limo and holding her hand as they headed for the entrance. Jett was quite happy. "A boring week. Why didn't you call. I could have entertained you. I mean college is taken care of just got to worry about finals and graduation now." Jett had a basketball scholarship. Not that he needed the scholarship but he was recruited to be the new forward on the UCLA team. All he had to do was make it through the summer. "I will be close by next year." Jett winked. Although that was a long far off time to think about.

[Eden Patridge]

Eden laughed. "Ben's still a virgin and he won't even be there," she pointed out, still unaware that her brother had lost his virginity. After all, Ben hadn't had a chance to tell anyone yet. "Now Izzy on the other hand...tonight just might be the night," Eden teased him. She knew that Izzy wanted to have sex with Taki but whether they would or not was still to be determined.

"Yeah, but we told Fel we'd teach him," Eden said. Okay, maybe Ben would be able to handle it on his own if she didn't make it, but Eden hadn't been surfing as much recently since it took her longer to get ready in the mornings now that she actually was trying to look nice in school so she sort of wanted to get out there for a bit. But she'd see how she felt. If she was really hungover she was sure she could just surf tomorrow morning or something. That was the beauty of living right on the beach.

"I still haven't agreed to dance," Eden quipped when Jett teased her once more. "Why don't we just start with a slow one and go from there," she said as they headed inside. She didn't like when Jett talked about college. "You decide to live on campus then?" she asked, not sounded enthusiastic. It wasn't that he'd be far, it was more that he'd be on campus with lots of girls... And having that basketball scholarship...well everyone knew that USC had the good football team and UCLA had the good basketball team. It was what they did and Eden knew that girls would be throwing themselves at Jett next year. She just didn't like the thought of it all.

[Jett Chen]

Jett gave Eden a look, "You are so not funny and I will forget your last sentence there." He said referring to Izzy. "She is so not ready." he said with a smirk. Sure Jett knew his sister, so he would not go there, but still he didn't want to know anything like that. Yuck, gross, ewww all came to mind when thinking about his sister and her doing...it made Jett shiver. Eh could be the cool brother all he wanted but it still was not fun to think about.

"Who said I was giving you a choice about dancing. Come on white girl, show me your moves." He asked her as a slow song did follow the fast one. "Someone is in luck. either that or I think you just prefer to be closer to me." Jett winked as he pulled Eden in close. His hands wrapping around her waist as he pulled her midsection close to his. When she talked about college he eyed her and leaned down to kiss her.

"I don't know." He said. "Not sure I should leave Izzy all lone in that big house. But I did want to join a frat. Can you picture me ina frat house." He joked not realizing what Eden thought about Jett and possible other girls, now he threw in sorority girls. Jett wasn't even thinking of other girls. " Good thing I have all summer to figure it out. either way the weekend will be our and perhaps one or two days after school. You can't get rid of me that easily." Although college had a bad reputation for making people busier then they thought.

[Eden Patridge]

Eden decided to drop it figuring they'd just start fighting if she pushed it much further. Jett and Eden sort of fought a lot. Their fights usually weren't serious...just caused by their clashing ideas and inability to compromise or give into each other. It also had a lot to do with the fact that even though they were together now they hadn't really admitted to one another how much they actually cared for one another. But still, Eden thought it was silly that Jett thought that Izzy wasn't ready for sex but had had no problem taking Eden's virginity a few months ago. After all Eden and Izzy were the same age, in fact, Eden was the younger of the two. But still, she knew not to mention that. There was no need to set him off now.

Jett pulled her on to the dancefloor before she really had a chance to protest. Luckily she was in luck just as he'd said and a slow song came on so she'd have some time to warm up before he forced her to actually dance which she totally did not know how to do. Eden had never gone to many dances or parties with dancing. She was more a sit around and chill kind of girl.

She kissed him back, enjoying the moment until he started talking about college again. She didn't like the thought of him joining a frat even if he claimed he'd be around for her on the weekends. She knew that wouldn't be the case. She'd just end up getting dragged along to frat parties which she doubted she'd enjoy much and if she didn't go there would probably be sorority girls who'd be all over him and just ew! "I think Izzy would really like it if you lived at home," she said, not wanting to admit that she would really like it too. "Plus, you know what's going to happen if you leave Izzy on her own in the house..." she trailed off, insinuating the whole Izzy was going to have sex thing once more. No, she didn't want to start a fight but if she could use it to get what she wanted, then so be it.
