The first time he sees her in a dress for her role?

Helping her adjust her costume?

Cute stuff? Please?

Quill is definitely the head of the theater club. He puts up the flyers for the next play, he shows up to every single rehearsal, and he usually gets the male lead.

A certain green-haired friend of Valeria's catches her eyeing Quill during a play as he performs flawlessly, and since then has been absolutely determined to set them up. They're in the theater club themself, after all, and have an in with this particular student. So they suggest to Valeria that she joins--due to her love of the theater, of course.

The first time he ever sees her in a dress for her role is during the first costume rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast. They hadn't seen each other beforehand due to them having different dressing rooms, so the first time he lays eyes on her right before the ball scene, it's practically a genuine reenactment.

Quill, naturally, is the Beast. He feels a little foolish with the face paint and the horns atop his head paired with the suit he's wearing.

And then Valeria, as Belle, appears in a multi-layered dazzling gold and yellow dress at the top of their stage's prop staircase, and he looks up, and it's all over for him.
