Prologue

"Hello, Students of Sea View High. This is your principal speaking. This year we have an exciting new program for our school's prom. We will have each student, who is planning on attending, fill out a quick questionnaire about his or her likes and dislikes. Then, the prom committee will match up every student with his or her ideal date. Sound like fun? Then please pick up a form in the office after announcements."

Miley Stewart's eyes grew wide as she listened to the announcement. If she could get a date assigned to her just by filling out a form, she would go for it. That would eliminate all of the worrying and wondering that is involved in finding your own date for prom.

"Lilly! We could totally do that!" Miley exclaimed, looking at her best friend, Lilly Trescott.

"Totally do what?" Lilly asked, looking up from her notebook where she was doodling.

"Lilly, weren't you listening to the announcement? All you have to do is fill out a form and you automatically get a date for prom!"

Miley could tell that Lilly was thinking. The offer must have been tempting. Lilly thought of boys as brothers and friends, not boyfriends.

"Miley, you know I'm not really into that kind of thing. I'd really rather just go to the movies, or better yet, have a movie marathon at my house that night. Prom just seems kinda…stupid." Lilly said.

"How can you say that?" Miley gasped. "Prom is the most magical night of a girl's life, other than her wedding and first rock concert."

Lilly sighed. "Miley, I'm being serious, can't we just go out for pizza that night?"

"Pleasepleasepleaseplease come to prom with me. Movies and pizza just aren't the same! Besides, I owe you a favor from the last time I borrowed your earrings. Why don't you come to prom with me wearing a Hannah dress?" This offer really got to Lilly. Lilly had her eye on the pink and ash dress Hannah wore to a movie premiere a month ago.

"You can wear the pink DKNY one." Miley offered. Lilly squeezed her eyes shut in concentration. Miley had just offered her the exact dress Lilly had been envying for so long. "You know you want to wear it. Come on, Lilly. A dress and date are already chosen for you. What else is there for you to do, except show up and party?"

"Oh, alright." Lilly said at last.

"Yes!" Miley squealed. " I knew you would say yes. I can't believe it, we're going to go to prom! I wonder who our dates will be. But, you know what? It won't matter because we'll both be there partying and having a good time! Trust me, Lilly, it will definitely be a night to remember."
