Prologue- April 1998
Cassidy Baker and John Cena were the perfect definition of the "it" couple. They had practically grown up together after Cassidy's father got transferred to Boston, and they moved to West Newberry, and right next door to the Cena's. That was 8 years ago, a time when John and his brothers looked at Cassidy as the sister they never had. That all changed for John when they started high school. It was then he realized that he was in love with Cassidy, and they had been inseparable ever since. Tonight was the night of their Senior Prom, and they both were looking forward to what would be taking place, after the glitz and glamour of the night was over.
Around 5:30 that evening Cassidy's mom, Diane, knocked on her bedroom door. "Sweetie, John's downstairs. Are you ready yet?" She asked, before opening the door slowly.
"Yeah mom, I just need to get my shoes on." Cassidy replied, stepping away from the full length mirror, and going over and sitting on her bed.
"I can't believe how grown up you look. I swear it seems like it was just yesterday…"Diane started, but was quickly interrupted by Cassidy.
"That you used to go outside and play football with the boys. I can't seem to get away from that fact. Although, my playing football with them was short lived after Dan tackled me, and Carol almost killed him. Funny thing was, he didn't even hurt me." Cassidy said, clasping her shoes and standing up to go greet her prom date. Making her way downstairs, John was taken aback at how beautiful Cassidy looked. Her sapphire blue dress brought out her already noticeable blue eyes. Her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, complete with curls and a few ringlets were left to frame her face.
"Cassie, you look absolutely gorgeous." John said lovingly, as Cassidy made her way over to him.
"You look handsome, all decked out. In fact, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you wear actual pants." Cassidy said, taking his hand in hers.
"Let me get some pictures real quick." Diane said, running to get her camera.
"Mom, I swear, you've got more pictures of us, than I do." Cassidy called after her, while her dad Michael just shook his head.
"Let her have her fun. You're her only baby, going off to her prom. It's not something that happens all the time. If you're lucky that is." He joked, while Diane started taking pictures. After getting some of John putting the corsage on Cassidy's wrist, Cassidy 'attempting' to put John's boutonniere on, and a few of them hugging each other close, they were on their way to the prom.

"Hey Cassidy, John. Look over here?" Jasmine, Cassidy's best friend yelled, taking a picture of them.
"Let's try and get a group picture now. Find some poor soul who wants to try and get a picture with all of us in it. That should be so much fun." Marc said, looking over at his cousin and his girlfriend.
"Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I mean, we've gotten pictures of everyone tonight, just not all of us together. Come on Marc, let's go get everyone." John said, grabbing his cousin by the shoulder, leaving Jasmine and Cassidy laughing at them.
John and Marc had gathered up all their friends, and their girlfriends or dates, and brought them all back to where Cassidy and Jasmine were standing with their Government teacher Mr. Kavorus, who was the unlucky guy who would be taking this groups picture. John pulled Cassidy in close to him, and rested his chin on her shoulder, while Mr. Kavorus snapped pictures with each camera that the girls had given him.
After dancing and hanging around with their friends, and having a few more pictures taken. John pulled Cassidy into his arms, as the sounds of their song started playing.
"Can you believe we've been together for almost 4 years now?" Cassidy asked, looking up into John's blue eyes, while the sounds of It's Your Love, played in the background.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't change a single thing about it. I love you so much Cassie." John said leaning down and capturing her lips, in a gentle, yet passion filled kiss.
Finishing their dance, Cassie laid her head on John's chest and said, "I'm ready John. I want to be with you completely tonight." She whispered, before looking up into John's eyes.
"Are you sure baby? I mean, it's okay if you don't want to. I don't want you to do something you're not ready for." John told her, stroking her cheek lovingly.
"I'm sure I want this, I want you. I always pictured my first time being with the man I truly love, and you're that man. I always thought it would be something like out of a fairytale, and tonight is like that John. There is no doubt in my mind, or any kind of insecurity. I never thought it could be with anyone else, but you." Cassidy said, knowing in her heart that tonight would be something special.
"Okay, well let me go tell Marc that we won't be leaving with them, and then we'll head on up to the room." John said, giving Cassie a quick kiss, before heading over to his cousin and letting him know their change of plans.
