It was super surreal of Stephanie to ask him to go this ball event with her. He wasn’t the type to go to these things to begin with. It was mostly cause there was never a reason to. The closest thing was when Starfire had invited them to her home planet and even then it wasn’t too dressed up for him to change his outfit.
Still, the shapeshifter knew this meant a lot to her. Her face showed it all and he decided to change his whole get up for the event. It was just the matter of how. Thankfully, Cyborg and Robin gave him a few pointers on how to dress up for the occasion. And looking after his mini transformation, the green titan thought he looked pretty good from what he saw in the mirror. Starfire had popped out from the blue and gave him a corsage to give to her since the alien princess seen them in her girlie films she’s been binge watching lately. This wasn’t a prom or even a date...right?
It just gave him butterflies inside his stomach once he finally arrived at her door.
Picking her up was nerve wracking since he didn’t know what to do in this situation. Almost acting like a babbling goober when she opened her door. But, Stephanie came out with a smile and greeted him with an quick embrace. His cheeks blushed a shade of red, before they headed off towards their destination together.
There was crazy entertainment, delicious food, and the place was something out of a scene from those high budget movies! He just couldn’t believe his eyes!
Stephanie had motioned him that she was about to change into this mysterious dress she’s been excited for all night. She already looked amazing, but maybe it was more her style for this occasion. Gar people watched for a bit, before she came back out. His mouth felt like his jaw hit the floor.
“ Wow, Steph. You look...”
But, before he could finish his sentence, she started talking so negative about herself. The shapeshifter felt confused as to why. Then, he started to see the looks from the other attendances there, staring at her. It just made him frown to himself. What a bunch of jerks!
No, they weren’t going to mess up this special night for her. Not while he was around.
The changeling suddenly took out the corsage, showing it to Steph with a sincere smile on his face.
“ I still wanna dance with the prettiest girl here - you.” Now what was it they said in those girlie flicks? Then, he had it!
Holding out his hand, Gar tried his best for gesture a dance.
“May I have this dance, m’lady?” He asked.
He didn’t care what those wannabees wanted, this night belonged to Stephanie. Her looks were just as gorgeous as anyone else’s in this room and the shapeshifter was going to rub it in their faces whether they liked it or not. He just hoped this would work out cause she deserved to be happy, more than anyone.
