It was a normal Saturday night in the Hudson family home. Rachel was finishing up doing the dishes in the kitchen, Finn was grading papers from his students at the high school, and their daughters, thirteen year old Alexis and eleven year old Marissa, were watching a movie in the family room. The only difference was that tonight was their oldest daughter Calliope's junior prom. Rachel had spent the day taking her to various hair and nail appointments, and for the first time, Calliope was going to a dance with a date and not a group of her girlfriends. Needless to say, it was an important night.

"I'm ready!" Finn heard his daughter call down from the top of the stairs. Shortly after, he heard his wife calling for him to grab the camera. He grabbed it off of the table next to the stack of papers he was finished with and headed into the house's entryway where the staircase that led up to the second floor was located. His wife and two younger daughters were already waiting there, and Rachel called up to Calliope to tell her to come down once Finn was in place to take the pictures. He almost forgot to when he saw her coming down the stairs.

Calliope was dressed in a simple dark green dress with a sweetheart neckline. A little bit of tulle under the skirt made the skirt stand away from her body a little bit, and a thin green ribbon was tied in a bow in the back at her waistline. Her light brown hair was done up in a French twist and fake gold leaves were weaved through it. He didn't really know what she'd done with her makeup, but her chocolate brown eyes seemed to sparkle even more than usual.

Lifting the hem of her skirt so she could come down the stairs, Finn noticed a pair of gold, sequined ballet flats on her feet that had obviously come from her mother's closet. He snapped a few pictures here and there, but he couldn't take his eyes off of his daughter. He couldn't believe that this was the little girl that they'd brought home from the hospital seventeen years ago. She'd grown up so fast, and he didn't know where the days had gone.

He watched as Calliope finally made her way to the bottom of the staircase and was surrounded by her mother and sisters as they drowned her with compliments. It wasn't long before Rachel was pushing them all into the living room for pictures. First a few of Calliope by herself, then some shots of her with her sisters: a couple of serious shots and then goofier photos with silly faces, bunny ears, and Charlie's Angels' poses. The camera was passed off to Alexis, and she took a few photos of her parents with her big sister.

After several dozen shots had been taken, the doorbell rang, and Calliope raced back to the stairs. "That must be Kyle! Don't let him in until I'm back upstairs! I want him to see my grand entrance!"

Finn waited until she was back at the top of the stairs before answering the door. Standing there were Kyle's parents, Puck and Quinn Puckerman. "Hey you guys," Finn greeted his friends with a smile. "Where's Kyle?"

"He's still parking his car," Puck replied. "We drove here separately, so they can drive to prom alone."

"I brought my camera!" Quinn smiled. "We want lots of pictures. I can't believe our kids are going to prom together in the same old high school gym that we had our junior prom in."

"Neither can I," Rachel said as she joined the group. "It seems as if our junior prom was only yesterday."

Just then, Kyle walked up to the front door in a simple black tux. His tie was the same color as Calliope's dress, and he held a small corsage box in his hand. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hudson," he said obviously nervous about being in front of his date's parents. Even though they'd known him since he was born, he was still their daughter's boyfriend, and that made him nervous.

"Calliope!" Rachel called up the stairs. "Your date is here!" No sooner had the words left Rachel's mouth did Calliope start her trip down the staircase again. Finn watched Kyle this time, and the boy seemed to light up at the sight of his daughter. It reminded Finn of the way he looked at Rachel which instantly mean that he had to worry about his little girl.

"Wow . . . Callie Cat . . . you look . . . just wow." That was the only thing Kyle could say as Calliope made her way over to Kyle, a huge smile plastered on her face.

Finn turned to his wife and mouthed the words "Callie Cat" with a confused look on his face. Rachel just smiled at him, shook her head and turned her attention back to the teenagers standing in front of them.

"Thank Kyle," Calliope blushed. "You look really great, too."

"Thanks."

"So, tell us your plans for this evening," Puck said as he looked at the kids. "We're curious."

"Well, after you guy take pictures of us, we're heading over to my friend Robbie's place," Kyle started. "We're going to do group photos there, and then the limo is going to take us to prom."

"And after the dance, we'll all be going back to Robbie's house for a little after party," Calliope told them. When that's over, I'll be heading over to Michelle's house for a sleepover."

"Want to repeat the rules of the evening for us?" Finn asked.

"No drugs, no alcohol, and at the place where I'm sleeping for the night by midnight," Calliope stated.

"Well then, I think we're ready to go outside for pictures," Rachel said as she started to usher everyone outside. Soon, the only people left in the house were Finn and Calliope.

"Do I look pretty, daddy?" she asked him with a small smile.

"You're beautiful, princess," he told her. "So beautiful, in fact, that I might just have to inform Kyle that if he touches you, I have a gun and a shovel that say it's a bad idea."

"You wouldn't!" she gasped.

"I'm only teasing, sweetheart. Now let's go out there and take some more pictures. Your mom will kill me if I don't capture every second on film."

"Alright, let's do this," she paused and started to leave before she turned back around and wrapped her dad up in a hug as best as she could. "I love you, Daddy."

"I love you, too, princess." He hugged her back and placed a small kiss on the top of her head, being ever so careful not to mess up what the stylist at the salon had done.

After what seemed like ages, Rachel and Quinn were finally satisfied with the number of pictures they had of their children posing together. There were shots of them standing next to each other, shots of Kyle pinning on Calliope's corsage, shots of them hugging, shots of them climbing into Kyle's car, shots where it looked like Kyle was helping Calliope out of his car, and, much to Finn's dismay, shots of them kissing.

"You kids have fun tonight!" Rachel said with a smile and a small wave as their car started to pull away.

"Don't do anything we wouldn't do," Puck laughed.

"That's what I'm afraid they'll do," Finn uttered. "We were not the best people in high school."

"Oh lighten up, Finn," Puck replied. "They're smart kids. I'm sure they won't do anything stupid."

But Finn still worried. He always did.
