*dies a million times* This is so very, very perfect. It reminds me that Val and Loni, despite their Super Powers of Awesomeness And Fashion, are really just teens who don't have a flippin' clue what's going on. They both handle this in different, wonderful ways. I love the snappy banter and Val's overlying narration. He knows painfully well that it's not logical and it bothers him but he can't help himself even as he frets about appearances. Because I think that is a key difference between Val and Loni - while they both are aware of appearances, Val cares more about the "norm". Unless I'm making stuff up again.
(I also, in great bias, love the throw away lines to Tasha's reaction because, yes, she is going to show up behind you kids with a big baseball bat. What's that, Val? You want to ask Prince Eric to the ice cream social?)
