"Hey Elliot. Why so glum?" Elliot was greeted by his colleague known as Fin Tutuola.
"Nothing…Lizzie is going to prom with some older guy…I don't like it!"
"I remember my prom…afterwards my girl and I went to a hotel…" Fin immediately shut up after the glare he was getting from the others.
"I went to the prom with the prettiest girl in the school" John said, he too getting glares from the others.
"Yeah right old man" Fin said laughing. Everyone else looking at him in disbelief.
"I did…I was quite the stud" John explained proudly.
"I went to prom with Kathy…that's when she got pregnant" Elliot said flashing back to that night "Lizzie is not going to the prom!" Elliot said getting upset.
"What about you Olivia?" John asked curiously.
"I didn't go to my prom…"
"Why not?"
"Because of my mom…I was going to go but of course she was drunk and I had to take care of her" Olivia said sadness apparent. "I wish I had gone…everyone talks about the prom and how they had fun and what not…I just wish I could have to memory"
"I'm sorry" John said.
"I think you should let Lizzie go if not she'll hate you forever" Olivia said getting up.
"Where are you going?"
"Home…it's late"
Apartment of Olivia Benson
Olivia sat on her couch thinking back on her prom night. Just as she was about to go to bed she heard a knock on her door. Wondering who it was she made her way to the door. Once she opened it she was surprised to see John standing there in a tux, a boom box in had and a corsage in the other.
"John" she said curiously. "What are you doing here?"
"After I heard about your prom I thought that you were right…you do deserve a memory and I'm here to give you one" he said, setting the boom box down he turned it on and music filled the apartment. Walking over to her she allowed him to slip on the corsage. "Can I have this dance?" he asked sticking out his hand. Olivia wilfully accepted and together they swayed to the music.
"Thank you John…this is the nicest thing anyone has done for me" she smiled at him as he pulled her closer.
"Anything for you Liv" he told her truthfully.
"So which prom is better this one or the one where you were with the prettiest girl in the school" Olivia asked as she sighed in content and rested her head on his chest.
"This one…because now I'm with the prettiest girl in the world" John smiled to her as she looked up at him and she closed the gap between the two with a passionate kiss.
