Summary: I know I both died and LIVED with that EW photo shoot pics and video yesterday (see them here if you've been living under a rock), so this story is borne from that McReedus/Caryl(?) yumminess!
Alexandria is having a prom, and everyone is invited. Carol and Daryl get dolled up and attend, flirt, and get drunk and rowdy. There may also be dancing.
