It's a beautiful Monday! A great day to post a new story. This is the month of May when I had my senior prom back in high school, so I figured it would be appropriate to post this story now. So, prom is coming up for the Junkyard Gang (the older members, so that excludes Bucky and Russell), and they want to make it the best for their lovely dates. But things get complicated. How? You'll have to read and find out! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Boys Pop the Question
April was fast ending, and May was fast approaching in North Philadelphia. And for some high schools in the world, that only meant one thing.
It was time to prepare for prom night!
Yes, most schools have already chosen their theme, are currently voting for Prom King and Queen, and girls and boys are still picking out their prom dresses and suits respectively.
And Maywood School was no exception to this at all.
Right now, a few girls were sitting outside after school together, discussing the exciting event. One thing they all had in common, was they all encountered a certain group of boys.
"Oh, just a few more weeks." Elaine squealed.
"I know. I've never been to a school function before." Joyce added, "What do you think it'll be like?"
"It's so much fun. There will be dancing, food. Like a regular school dance." Laverne answered, "You're gonna love it!"
"And today, we're gonna go to the mall and look for dresses to wear." Violet spoke up, "I finally had enough money to get my own."
"I wonder what boys are gonna ask us to be their dates." Penny wondered, "Though, I already have a feeling who will be the lucky ones."
Actually, all the girls had a feeling one what boys were gonna ask them to the prom. At this point, it wasn't much of a mystery, since they hung around these specific boys a lot since meeting them. At least, since either sophomore or junior year. And even as far as freshman year. Speaking of freshman...
Another girl walked up to them, "Hi! Are we ready to go to the mall?" She asked.
"Not yet, Betty." Elaine replied, "We're waiting on something... or rather, someones..."
As soon as she said that, the front doors of the school opened. The girls looked towards it and smiled. Six boys walked out, wearing red bowties over their usual clothing, and all of them holding roses. One of the boys, held a bullhorn, and spoke into it, "Will the girls by the names of Laverne, Penny, Joyce, Elaine, Violet, and Betty come to the stairs, please?"
The girls each squealed with excitement. They all saw it coming, but still, they were happy beyond belief. They stood in front of the stairs, as the Junkyard Gang walked down, their roses held tightly.
One by one, each boy kneeled in front of one girl. Albert in front of Laverne, Bill in front of Penny, Rudy in front of Joyce, Donald in front of Elaine, Harold in front of Violet, and Mush in front of Betty (much to her shock).
"Girls, this is by no means mandatory..." Albert started, "But we wanted to say how we feel. You are very intellectual..."
"Talented..." Bill added.
"Gorgeous..." Rudy winked.
"V-Very nice..." Donald stuttered.
"Kind..." Harold smiled.
"Andb coolb..." Mush added.
"And so... we ask you..." Albert continued.
"Will you girls be our dates to the prom...?" The boys asked in unison, holding out the roses towards the girls. The ladies were speechless but too happy to reject.
So, they each took a rose, basically confirming their answers. The boys didn't need to hear a 'yes'. The answer was clear on the girl's faces. All of the other students around them clapped and cheered. This was a pretty awesome moment.
"You boys are so sweet..." Laverne said after a minute.
"But predictable..." Penny added with a smirk.
"We knew you'd be the ones to ask us..." Joyce giggled.
Donald nodded, "Y-Yeah. I-I'm j-just glad I got to ask Elaine before Hammerhead Rex did."
Violet gave Harold a kiss on the cheek, "You guys are the best. You really are. This is gonna be so much fun." She said. Harold blushed, "It sure is. We were all nervous about doing this, but it sure paid off."
"And it paid off well..." Rudy said, his arm around Joyce, "I'm glad I thought of this idea."
"You mean Fat Albert thought of it..." Bill corrected him.
"Yeah, but I had some input, didn't I?"
Albert smiled, "Hey, hey, hey. This was a great way to ask the girls..."
"But I'm just a freshman..." Betty pointed out, "This is senior prom."
Donald smiled at his cousin, "W-Well, Mushmouth was having trouble finding a date, so I decided that you would be perfect for him. After all, you're so nice and helpful..."
"Aw..."
Elaine then looked at her watch, "Oh! We better be heading to the mall if we want to go shopping for our dresses."
"May we girls escort you?" Albert asked.
"That won't be necessary. Besides, we don't want you guys to see what we wear until the night of... come on, gals!"
With that, the six girls walked together down the street. The boys sighed in admiration. They couldn't believe that they did it, but they did. And best, all the girls said yes. Well, they didn't exactly say it, but it was clear. In the distance, Bucky and Russell were watching.
"Can you believe they pulled it off?" The preteen asked the younger boy.
"I was expecting one of them to screw it up... I was betting on Rudy." Was Russell's reply.
As for the older boys.
"The girls have the right idea. We need to get our suits, dudes." Albert brought up.
Rudy grinned, "And I know the perfect place to do that. But first..." The rich boy then reached into his pocket, and pulled out some cards, giving it to other students, "Don't forget to vote for me for Prom King!" He announced, "It will do you very good!"
The rest of the gang rolled their eyes. Ever since prom was announced, Rudy had been campaigning for Prom King. He did everything he could to get votes. Writing out cards, giving out gifts, even holding a 'Vote for Rudy for Prom King' party.
At this point, they wouldn't be surprised if he won... even though the candidates haven't even been announced yet.
Well, aside from that, they were sure that this would be the best night of their lives... and they were sure to make it the best for their girls.
So there you have it. The boys got dates for the prom. Everything is looking up for everyone so far. Oh, and about Prom King, keep that in mind. It'll be important later. Next chapter, we'll see the boys looking for tuxes, and the girls looking for dresses. That should be fun. I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. Keep on the lookout for the next chapter sometime tomorrow. Until then, I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review, please.
