Now, ok… I know I just said “Fruits” and that probably sounds weird because there’s a lotta debate on whether one of these ingredients is a fruit or not, but this is a scientific lecture, so I’m only going to report the facts. Science is clear, to be a fruit you have to meet certain requirements, and our little elephant in the room here fulfills those requirements. There is no legitimate debate, it’s black and white. So Miranda, if anyone comes up to you like “oh it’s not a fruit” tell ‘em to shove it because it absolutely is. Lettuce is a fruit, end of discussion.

Then again the fic is stylized to be a hypothetical TV show script so it's tough to tell what level of medium awareness Zoe has.
Added DiffLines:
* NotSoAboveItAll: Joy is usually the focused and level headed one that is devoted to her role as a hero, but all of that goes out the window the minute Dimitri shows up who causes the witch to turn into a hot and bothered mess who makes no effort to hide her attraction to her arch enemy.
** Also applies to Brian, see the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Man]] entry below.

Added DiffLines:
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: a downplayed version. Chapter 17 focuses almost entirely on the Coven and Zoe, with the only major characters appearing in a subplot (of which a member of the coven is also involved in) while everyone else only makes brief cameo appearances. It's the first chapter where NONE of the color squad is in the spotlight.

** we get a third instance of this after they spend a rather romantic day together, with Amira [[TemptingFate saying that they're bound to get interrupted again if they try to kiss]] and the djinn even goes so far as to bet a thousand dollars that such an interruption occurring.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: chapter 16 has one of these when Liam, Zoe, and Oz find Scott and Damien doing pottery in a rather...questionable state of dress.
--> Scott and Damien are in art class, doing some pottery. Together. They’re sitting one in front of the other, with Scott in the back, guiding Damien’s hands. Also, Scott’s shirtless. You know, like bros.
** slightly subverted when it's revealed that Damien and Scott knew EXACTLY how that situation looked and were doing it as a prank on Liam, Zoe, and Oz. Which did not work at all.

* PetTheDog: Vera has been having more and more of these moments towards Amira as time has gone on but chapter 16 has some of the most significant examples:
** Vera arranges for Amira to get the opportunity to drive a legendary race car on the track where they do the pegasus 500 race, of which Amira is a huge fan
** Vera buys Amira a modified version of the aforementioned race car's model, which is Amira's dream car.
** Vera sees to it that Amira gets a whole new wardrobe of expensive clothes from a high end shop.
** it's implied that Vera also planned to take Amira out to a classy restaurant later as well.

* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Oz with Miranda and Polly, they're some of the most popular girls and school and he's the 'dork to end all dorks', nuff said.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Most of the cast has performed this at some point but Vera seems to be guilty of this more than anybody:
** she manipulated Damien into attacking Brian by framing the zombie for the dissappearance of Damien's [[ItMakesSenseInContext Cock]] because he mocked her on their first meeting by comparing her to green skinned pop-culture characters
** She had Amira mutilate one of her employees, destroy his entire life's work, kill his mother, and then frame him for it when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he outlived his usefulness]] although that's not why she did all of that to him. The real reason was that he made her listen to an hour long anime playlist that consisted of hentai moans over electronic music; granted the guy was a huge pervert but still!
** she attempted to fatally poison Brian when the football team paid more attention to his advice than hers.

''Monster Prom: Senior Year'' is a ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'' Fanfiction by ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/users/tenkay10/pseuds/tenkay10 tenkay10]]''
Question. What do Brian Yu - a Habitual Slacker and social outcast-, Vicky Schmidt - a lovesick, compulsive overachiever -, Oz - the dork to end all dorks -, and Amira Rashid - a brash hothead with a penchant for crime - have in common? Absolutely nothing. That doesn't matter though, because it is now, in their last year of high school, that their paths intersect for the first time. Can they, on the precipice of adulthood, learn to live, love, and grow as people? Or does High School not matter at all, and everyone should just crack open a textbook for once?
One thing's for sure... it should definitely be the second one, and the fact that it's the first one proves they haven't grown in the slightest.
you can find it [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27511237/chapters/67274527 here]]
!Tropes in ''Monster Prom: Senior Year:''
* AlmostKiss: Amira and Vera have had two of these moments so far, once in chapter 13 where they were interrupted by Vera getting a phone call and another in chapter 15 where [[HappilyAdopted Amira's mom]] shows up with a [[spoiler: birthday cake]].
* AmIJustAToyToYou?: Amira keeps asking both herself and Vera this question on several occasions in relation to the nature of their relationship, especially whenever Vera acts nice or affectionate towards Amira. Given some of Amira's [[hiddendepths emotional hangups]] and the nature of her relationship with Vera it's a reasonable assumption.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Monsteropolis in particular is implied to be this by Vera
--> '''Vera''': That… is the biggest ruse ever pulled. The truth is, Monstropolis’ image is exactly the paper-thin veneer you know it to be. The point was never civility, it was the appearance of civility. To those profiting from it, that appearance is the only thing worth the investment. The lives of people don’t matter… the only thing that matters is the status of living here. As such, no one bats an eye when the civility I just told you of is built on an uncountable number of horrendous crimes… crimes which are, by some measure, perpetrated by the city itself.

* InLoveWithTheMark: [[spoiler: Vera's clearly got an evil plan involving the mayor of Monsteropolis and Amira's a pawn within this scheme, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that the gorgon is developing real feelings for the djinn. Which is making it harder for her to carry out said scheme.]]
