It was now prom season. Aricka and Dan's senior year was almost over. Aricka was looking forward to prom. Dan was too; because he had a perfect promposal up his sleeve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aricka walks into her house and it was dark. That's weird-Thomas normally tells me if he was going somewhere, Aricka thought. She goes in, and the lights turn on, and Dan's standing in the living room, with a huge bear and a sign that says,

"Prom without you would be un-BEAR-able." she smiles and runs to hug Dan.

"Will you go to prom with me?" he asks. She nods.

"Of course I will!"

(Their prom outfits.^^)

*Aricka*

Patton was crying as I walk downstairs the night of prom. Logan was hugging him, and they looked like the perfect couple.

"Aricka! Over here!" Roman, Remy, and Virgil were my "paparazzi."

"Aricka! What are you wearing?" Remy asks.

"I don't know!"

"Aricka, who's your date?" Virgil asks.

"Dan Howell!" I finally get downstairs, and Patton comes and hugs me.

"You look beautiful, angel," he says. He'd adopted Jack's nickname for me. I smile and hug him back.

"Thanks, Mama. Now stop crying, or I'll start." we laugh, and he dries his eyes.

"Okay." Logan comes and hugs me, kissing my cheek. Thomas had to go over to Talyn and Joan's, but he'd already seen me in my dress and taken pictures.

"You look perfect," he says. "Dan will be blown away." then there was a knock at the door. I gasp, and my hand flies to my hair-and is caught by Virgil.

"I spent three hours on your hair, don't mess it up," he warns.

Roman opens the door. "Welcome to Princess Aricka's palace," he says, and Dan walks in, looking like a prince.

"There she is-my fairy tale princess," he breathes. I walk over and hug him.

"My fairy tale prince."

"Hey!" Roman protests.

"You're my fairy tale prince that's a brother!" I protest. Dan laughs and kisses me.

"I've got something for you," we say at the same time, and I laugh. "You first," he says. I get his boutonniere out, and pin it to his suit:

Then he hands me a blue corsage:

Remy and Virgil snap pictures as we do this, and then it's time for us to go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They played one of my Dad-Dad Thomas's-songs at Prom! Dan and I sway together to the beat, and he smiles at me. "I love this," he says. "You and me, here together. How'd I get so lucky?"

I laugh, and blush, looking at the ground. "Well-I was the lucky one. I thought Mark was the one for me, then you came along." he nods, giving me a goofy grin, and we kiss.

Best. Prom. Ever.
