Not wanting to be compared to Elaine from Seinfeld, with her horrific dancing skills, she made herself stop and took to waving and greeting people as they walked inside the ballroom. Some people stopped to chat with her for a brief moment, accepting her extended hug, before making their way deeper inside the ballroom. She was brimming with happiness as she watched a few of her peers stopping each other to introduce themselves to one another, as adults.<br/><br/>Just as she was thinking about stopping by the bar to collect a Shirley Temple, she heard someone call her name. Juliet turned over shoulder, her wide, vibrant eyes lighting up as they settled on the image of the guy in front of her. He looked so familiar, but it took her a moment to place him. Habitually, she glanced down at his chest for a cheat sheet in the form of a name tag. Unfortunately, one wasn't stuck to his sweater. "Is that you, Xander? Wow. I almost didn't even recognize you!" She cheerily declared, before stepping closer to him and wrapping him up in a hug.<br/><br/>As she stepped away again, it was in time to see Xander's widening grin. Juliet flashed him a brilliant smile in return. "No need to thank me." Her head shook at the idea as she released a small, contented sigh after gazing at her work. "Thanks, I hope it's not too much," she began, only to see someone else approaching. Juliet turned where she stood, so as to open herself up for more conversation, when Katie stepped up and introduced herself. It was just a moment after she heard the name that it all clicked into place for Juliet.<br/><br/>"Oh goodness, thank you." She blushed at the compliment. "You look stunning," a hand gestured out in reference to Kat's dress. When she was thanked for tracking Kat down, name change and all, Juliet had to wonder in the back of her mind of Kat felt a little like she had invaded some semblance of her privacy. Somehow, that thought never even occurred to her. Did Kat want no one from her past to know about her transition? Juliet was at a slight loss as she considered all of that, but remembered that she had been thanked and responded accordingly, if a little delayed. "No need to thank me, really." With that, Juliet stepped closer to Kat and wrapped her up into a hug.<br/><br/>When she stepped backward, it was just a moment later that Katie introduced herself to Xander. "Oh, right. I'm sorry. I guess name tags make you think that there's no need for introductions, but it's a little weird without them, right?" Her nervous laughter seeped out as she gestured to Xander, gently pressing a hand to his arm. "Katie, you remember Xander, don't you?" She then released Xander's arm, her fingers slipping down his sleeve, as she gestured back to Katie. "And Xander, this is Katie."<br/><br/>She hoped she was doing this right; perhaps her life was a little too sheltered, but she had never introduced a transsexual person before. Still, it felt like the right way to handle it. Katie was a new person, a different person than the person she was in high school - Victor. As such, she should be introduced as someone that Xander wouldn't have remembered from high school... because she wasn't.<br/><br/>Sweeping onto the scene just then was Phil, who introduced himself just in time to hear the others names as well. "What timing!" Juliet stepped closer to Phil, wrapping him up into a hug, before releasing him and giving him a once over. "You look great!" He had lost a significant amount of weight since the last time she remembered seeing him. Or was it that he had grown into his body a little better since then? Either way, it was then that she noticed the name tags surrounding her, and yet, she didn't have one on. Which might be seen as rather presumptuous of her, when really, she had just forgotten.<br/><br/>"Geez, I almost forgot!" She announced, though it didn't seem to be directed at anyone in particular, before darting off to the table and grabbing her name tag, then gently pressing it against her dress, between her clavicle bone and her left breast. "Phew! That's better," she chuckled to herself. "Almost made the gravest mistake you can make at a high school reunion. Thank you guys for saving me." Juliet giggled, her cheeks blossoming with a subtle shade of pink.
