Chapter 1: Prom?
Reggie was watching Lars and his friends as they sat on their surfboards in the water. They were laughing and joking with each other. Reggie looked at Lars and could not believe how buff he had gotten over the years. Lars was now 18 and was a senior in high school. She was 17 and a junior in the same school as Lars. She would see him off and on at school. He would smile at her when her friends or his friends were not watching.
"Reggie come on let's go!" Otto yelled at her. Reggie looked at Lars one more time and walked away from the edge of the pier. Lars looked up just in time to get a quick look at Reggie. He smiled to himself.
"Come on Reg I want to get to Madtown before Sammy and Twis get there." He said while waiting on Reggie to put on her skates.
"Chill out Rocketboy. We'll get there." Reggie stood up and they both skated down the Madtown. There waiting on them were Twister and Sam.
"See I told you that they would get here before us." Reggie rolled her eyes at him.
They skated for a few hours. They laughed and joked around. Everything was going good until Otto spotted them.
"Damn it Lars and he friends are here." He said making everyone look at them.
"We can two things stay or leave."Sam said while trying to keep himself from falling down.
"I say that we stay." Reggie said looking at the guys.
"You just want to stay so that you can look at Lars." Otto teased her. Sam and Twister look over at her.
"Shut up Rockerboy." Reggie said while looking at him with hateful eyes.
-With Lars-
Lars was setting on the edge of the bowl watching his friends. Pi skated up and sat beside him. He looked at Lars who at this time was watching Reggie.
"You know you can ask her out." Lars looked over at him.
"Why would I do that?" He asked looking away.
"Because you have been staring at her for a while now." He said.
"So what if I have." Lars said looking back at her.
"Go ask her to prom." Lars looked back over towards Pi. Lars sighed and stood up and skated over to Reggie. Reggie was down on the ground watching Otto skate. (she is standing up)She turned her head and saw Lars skating up to her. Otto stopped skating and looked down at them. Twister and Sam were doing the same.
"Hey Lars." Reggie said being polite.
"Reggie can I talk to you alone." Lars said with his hand behind his head.
"Sure." Reggie said and they skated to where it was just them, and they were the only ones that could hear what was being said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to go to prom with me?" Lars asked looking at the ground. Reggie stared at him for a while. Lars looked up when Reggie didn't answer him. He saw a smile on her face.
"I would love to go to prom with you." She said sounding very happy.
"You would?" Lars looked at her with an odd look.
"Yes I would. I kinda had been hoping that you would ask me." She said with red checks.
"I'll see ya this weekend" Lars smiled and leaned over and kissed Reggie on the cheek.
-With Otto-
Otto's eyes widen when he saw Lars kiss Reggie. Twister's mouth dropped and Sam looked and said.
"Well isn't that interesting."
"What is he doing kissing my sister!" Otto kind of yelled.
-With Lars and Reggie-
Lars leaned back and looked at Reggie. Reggie touched her cheek where Lars had kissed it. She smiled at him. Lars skated back to his friends and Reggie skated back to the boys. Reggie could hear Lars's friends picking on him well all but Pi. Reggie smiled and looked up at the boys. Otto was pissed off she could tell just by the look on his face. He skated down to her.
"What was that about!?" He again kind of yelled.
"Lars just asked me to prom and I said yes."
"You WHAT!?" Otto looked at her. Twister skated down to them and Sammy took the stairs down.
"My brother asked you to go to the prom with him." Twister said with a smile.
"This is not something to smile at!" Otto yelled at him.
"Why are you smiling?" Reggie asked him.
"Well I kind of didn't think that he was going to do it."
"You know this and did not tell me!" Otto yelled again.
"Hey he asked Reggie out not you." Twister looked at Otto.
"He is right Otto, and who said that you have a say at who I go out with." Reggie said looking at her little brother.
"I'm your brother."
"Yes you're my LITTLE BROTHER!" Reggie yelled at him.
"Why are you yelling at me?" Otto asked acting like he did nothing wrong.
"Because you have no say at what I do or who date. If I did start to date Lars it would because I love him."
"Do you love him?" Twister asked causing Reggie to look at him. Otto's mouth dropped and looked at Twister and then at Reggie.
"What?" Reggie asked him.
"Do you love him?" Twister asked again.
"I…"
"Come on Twis Reggie in love with Lars." Otto laughed.
"I do."
"What?" Otto and Twister and Sam looked at her.
"I do love him; I have loved him for awhile now. I just never said anything because I didn't want to hear it come you rocketboy." Reggie said this and skated off.
Reggie skated to the Shore Shack. Otto and the others were hot on her tail. She skated over to the bar that they always sat at. She sat down on the ground and grabbed her bag that was next to her and got out her shoes. Once her shoes were on she got up and sat down on the stool.
"Reggie what are you doing here I thought that you and…"
"I'm not talking to Otto right now." She said looking up at her father.
"Hello I'm right here." Otto said standing next to her.
"Okay you two what happened?" Ray asked them.
"Lars asked Reggie to go to prom with him Raymundo." Twister said skating up to the bar.
"He did?" Ray looked at his daughter with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes he did and I said yes." Reggie said looking at him.
"Wow never would have thought that he would ask my little girl out on a date." Ray said looking at Tito.
"Oh that reminds me I need some money to get a dress and jewelry and to get my hair done and my nails done." Reggie smiled up at her father.
"Wow Reggie that is a lot." He said.
"Well I got five hundred saved up but I might need more."
"Ok I guess I can give you five hundred too." Ray got out his wallet and gave her the money.
"What! Why does she get money and I don't?" Otto asked.
"Because I need it to look good. I don't want Lars to show up looking great and l look bad." She said getting off of the stool.
"I'll see ya later." She said grabbing her bag and walked off. She found Trish and Sherry and the three went to find Reggie a dress.
-The Night of the Prom-
-At Lars's House-
Lars was in his room dressed in an all black suit. Twister was setting on the bed watching his older brother. Twister was smiling at his brother. Lars turned around and looked at his little brother.
"You look great Lars." Twister said standing up and walking up to Lars.
"Thanks little bro." Lars said and leaned over and kissed his brother on the forehead. Twister looked at his brother with an odd look. Lars smiled and walked over to his dresser and got his wallet.
"Why did you do that?" Twister asked Lars turned to look at his little brother.
"Because you are my brother and I love you." Lars said with a smile and walked out of his room. Twister was standing there with his mouth open. Twister walked out of his brother's room and followed him to the living room.
"You have never told me that before." Twister said.
"Well I should do that more often, because I do love you. You are my little brother and I know that you love me in your own little way." Lars said fixing his the buttons on his sleeve.
"Well it is just odd to hear you say it, you know after all the things you have done over the years." Twister said walking over to his brother.
"Oh Lars you look go handsome in that suit." Said Sandy.
"You looked for nice son." Said Raoul.
"Thanks." Lars said with a smile.
"Well I better get over to Reggie's. You coming Twis?" Lars asked him.
"Yea I want to see Reggie in a dress." Laughed Twister. Lars smiled again and walked over to the door.
-At Reggie's House-
The door was opened by Ray. Ray moved to let Lars and Twister in. Twister walked over and stood next Otto and Sam. They wanted to see Reggie in a dress. They had never seen her in a dress before. They all heard Reggie's door open and heard her walked down the stairs and stop almost at the bottom.
Lars looked up and saw Reggie in a baby blue strapless heart neckline floor-length Ela's ball gown. Her hair was done in a curly romantic updo. She had on pearl and diamond earrings and necklace. Lars smiled at Reggie and walked over to her and held out his hand. She took his hand and walked down the rest of the stairs. Once at the bottom she turned toward him and smiled.
"You look so handsome in that suit." Reggie said still holding his hand.
"Thank you, but you look breath taking in that." Lars said kissing her hand. Otto rolled his eyes at this.
"A picture before you to go." Ray said and held up a camera.
"Oh wait." Twister said walking over to the two. He handed Lars a corsage that was made up of blue orchids and a white lilies. Lars thanked his brother and took the corsage. Lars took it out of the clear box and placed it on Reggie's wrist. Reggie smiled and looked up at him.
Twister moved out of the way to let Ray take the picture. Once the pictures were taken Lars and Reggie walked to the door. Reggie said goodbye to her dad and the others. Otto looked at Lars and said.
"You better bring her back at ten."
"Otto! Just make sure your two are back before midnight." Ray said to the two.
"Raymundo!" Otto said looked at her father.
"That is enough Otto!" Ray said in a strong voice.
"I'll have her back before midnight." Lars said and followed Reggie out the door. Reggie walked out on the walk way and looked up. There is saw Lars's new dark apple red 2005 Chevy truck with a double cap. Reggie walked to the door and Lars opened it for her. She smiled at him as he helped her in. He shut the door and walked over to the driver's side and got in. Reggie waved at her dad and brother and friends. They watched as the two drove off.
-At the Prom-
Lars and Reggie walked in to the gym and saw red and white up lighting and red and white fabric on the ceiling. They walked over to a table and sat down. The table had a long red tablecloth with a short white tablecloth on top of it. There was a vase full of red and white roses. Lars saw his friends as they walked over to him. Reggie saw them to and knew that they were going to say something.
"Hey Lars your finally here. You look very nice Reggie." Said Pi. Reggie smiled. 'Lars most have told them to be nice' She thought to herself. Lars stood up as the music started to play. He walked in front of Reggie and held out his hand.
"Would you like to dance?" Lars asked her.
"Yes I would." She said taking his hand.
They walked to the dance floor. Once there Lars placed a hand on Reggie's back and the other he held out. Reggie breath caught in his throat when Lars touched her back. She placed a hand on his shoulder and the other in his waiting hand. They began to dance back and forth then they turned around and moved around the dance floor. Everyone who was dancing looked at them.
"They are looking at us." Reggie said.
"Let them." Lars said looking into Reggie's eyes.
"We are the only ones on the dance floor right now." Lars said this which made Reggie smile.
They danced for awhile and then sat down. They talked and laughed they were having a great time. Reggie grabbed Lars's hand and pulled him over to where they were taking the photos. Lars moved to where he was behind Reggie. He wrapped his arms around her and she touched his hands with hers. After the photo was taken Lars pulled Reggie outside. They walked to the gazebo that was in the school's yard. They walked in it and sat down on the gazebo's seats. Reggie looked down and Lars look away. Reggie looked back up and said.
"I'm having a really good time." Lars looked back at her and smiled.
"You are?" He asked still with a smiled on his face.
"Yes I am. Should we go back inside or do you want to stay out here?"
"I know how about we go and walk the beach." Lars said getting up. Reggie stood up and smiled.
"Sure that sounds good to me." Reggie grabbed Lars by the hand and they ran to the truck. They got in and drove to the beach.
Once at the beach they got out and looked around they decided to set down on the sand. It was dark out after all. Lars looked at his watch and it said 10:50pm. He smiled and Reggie saw the smile.
"What are you smiling at?" She asked.
"I'm smiling because I still have a while before I got to take you home." Lars said moving closer to her. Reggie smiled at him and then she shivered. Lars saw her shiver and took off his jacket and put it on Reggie's shoulders. Reggie grabbed the jacket and looked at Lars with loving eyes. They leaned in and closed their eyes and then they could feel each other's lips on their own.
-At Rocket's House-
Otto was pacing back and forth. Twister was looking at him from his seat on the couch. Sam was also looking at Otto. Ray walked in and looked at his son and smiled.
"They will be back soon Otto." Ray said. Just then the front door opened and there was Reggie walking in. Twister got up and walked over to her but not before Otto ran to his sister.
"Well!" He asked.
"Where is Lars?" Twister asked.
"He's going home Twis." Reggie said walking further into the living room.
"Well Reggie how did it go?" Ray asked his daughter.
"It went wonderfully well. I had a wonderful time." She said this with a big smile.
"Did he kiss you, because if he did I'm going to be sick." Otto said looking at his sister.
"No he did not kiss me…We kissed each other, and it was wonderful." Reggie said walking up the stairs. The boys and Ray looked at each other. Twister ran to the door and opened it. He ran over to his house and to his brother's room. There he found Lars taking off his tie and smiling. He was looking at nothing really. Twister could tell that his brother had a good time.
"So how was it?" Twister asked him.
"It was wonderful." Lars said looking at his little brother.
