A/N: Hi everyone! This is my first fanfiction ever in the history of my life! I usually don't write but I got inspired after reading a bunch of these. Please please please review and let me know what you think, good or bad.
Nina's POV
As I took Fabian's hand and started to leave the house to go back to prom, I heard Sara's voice. "Nina…it's not over" "What's that? I knew it was to good to be true." I said. Fabian asked me what I was talking about. I replied, "That sound…" As soon as I finished speaking Sara said my name again and the cellar door opened. I turned to go back. Fabian called my name. "Go," I told him, "I'll meet you there." I left him to go back to the cellar. As I went down the steps I heard Patricia pulling him out the door and Fabian protesting. When I made it down the staircase Sara appeared. She told me to take the cup. Surprised, I looked over to the furnace and saw that the cup was completely unharmed, despite the fact that it had been placed on a bed of coals. I took the cup and held it out to Sara. Two other people appeared beside her, a man and a woman. I can only assume that they were her parents. Touching the cup she said, "Now the cup of life has been restored, the curse has been lifted. We can rest in peace. Take it, hide it, keep it safe…" After she finished speaking Sara and her parents faded and I was left alone in the cellar. I had one more thing to do before I could go enjoy the dance.
At first I couldn't figure out where I should hide the cup, but then I remembered the trapdoor. While I was backstage during the play, I tripped and almost fell over this lock on the floor. When I looked closer I realized that it was holding a trapdoor shut. Hardly anyone knew that it was back there, and even those who did wouldn't suspect that I hid the cup there. Everyone thought the cup was destroyed. I snuck backstage through a side door, making sure that no one at the dance saw me. As quickly as I could, I unlocked the trapdoor with my bobby pin, put the cup down, and rebolted it. Then I finally left to join my friends at the dance.
Fabian's POV
I didn't really understand why Nina left me to go the dance with Patricia and Joy, but she went back to the cellar. That kind of freaked me out. Victor was still in the house! What if he captured Nina or something bad happened to her? I was pacing back and forth and checking my watch every five seconds. I couldn't help it! I was supposed to be enjoying the dance with Nina but instead I was going crazy with worry. Just as I was about to leave and go look for her she tapped me on the shoulder. I grabbed her by the shoulders and exclaimed, "My gosh! Where were you? I've been so worried!" She just smiled back at me and said, "I had to take care of a few things." Then we were distracted by Amber who had just gotten up on stage and taken the mike. She was saying something about announcing prom king and queen, but since we hadn't actually had a chance to vote she got to choose. Everyone laughed and rolled their eyes assuming that she would name herself prom queen.
Nina's POV
Fabian and I laughed as Amber announced that she was going to name the prom king and queen. I, like everybody else, thought that Amber was going to name herself queen. "And the prom king is…" Amber said as Alfie started to walk forward. As Amber's date, he assumed he was going to be prom king. "…Fabian Rutter!" Amber finished. Fabian gasped, looking shocked, as everyone clapped and he stumbled up to the stage. After he had put the crown on his head and sat down on the 'throne', Amber continued. "And your prom queen is Nina Martin!" she shouted. I couldn't believe it. I was prom queen? That just didn't make sense. When I made it up to the stage Amber whisper-shouted to me, "Would it have killed you to brush you hair?" I decided to ignore her. I just almost got killed by a maniac and created a cup of life. What was my hair supposed to look like? I sat down next to Fabian as a song started playing. "Now dance you two," Amber whispered, "Dance". Fabian and I stood up laughing and started to slow dance. "Well, that was embarrassing," I said to Fabian. He replied, "Yeah…very." and looked sideways at the audience. We continued to slow dance and Fabian said, "Nina you look so- ". "Ridiculous," I said, interrupting him. He smiled at me and said, "I was gonna say beautiful." Beautiful? Fabian thought I was beautiful? Wow! I smiled hugely and blushed. "So, do you want to tell me what happened?" Fabian asked. "Did you just call me beautiful?" I asked back. He replied, "Yeah" and blushed. I smiled again. "So why did you go back down to the cellar?" Fabian asked again. "All that can wait," I said, "This can't." I leaned forward at the same time he did and we kissed. It was completely perfect. When we separated we laughed because everyone was looking at us, clapping and cheering. As the song switched to a fast song, everyone started dancing normally. Fabian and I continued to slow dance and I thought about how we were dancing on the floor above the cup. I laughed and Fabian looked at me with a question on his face. I just shook my head and hugged him and we continued dancing.
Jerome's POV
FINALLY! Nina and Fabian finally got together and put the rest of us out of our mystery. Everyone was dancing except for me and, as usual, I was feeling like the odd one out. Unfortunately, Mara was with Mick and I was still alone. Then, I looked over and noticed Patricia sitting alone. Where had Joy gone? I walked over to her and asked her the same question. "Oh," she said, "she ran out when Fabian and Nina left. She looked pretty upset…" "Figures," I said, "She did have a gigantic crush on Fabian before she disappeared." After that an awkward silence fell and we just looked at the dance floor. A slow dance started and I asked Patricia to dance before I could stop myself. I felt myself turning red and looked down. To my surprise, and I think hers, she said yes. I couldn't believe it! I was dancing with Patricia. I thought I hated her and I was pretty sure she hated me! What was going on?
Patricia's POV
Jerome asked me to dance. Somehow, I don't think he meant to, but I said yes. That was unexpected…We started dancing, and I surprisingly found myself enjoying it. Neither of us were talking, but the silence was comfortable. Even better, no one was staring at us. The song ended but neither of us moved. As the next song started, we continued to dance together. This continued until the prom ended. I couldn't believe I had just spent my night dancing with Jerome! Even more, I couldn't believe that I enjoyed it. That was the last thought in my head before I fell asleep.
Nina's POV
Fabian walked me back to my room and gave me a kiss goodnight. I blushed and left quickly after saying goodnight. I walked into my room and leaned against the door and closed my eyes, feeling happier than ever. I heard Amber's unmistakable squeal and opened my eyes. Something told me I wasn't going to get to sleep for a very long time. I looked at Amber and saw her bouncing up and down on her bed. "Details, details!" she squealed. I had no idea how anyone could pitch there voice so high. I sighed, "Not now Amber. It's after one in the morning and I'm exhausted…" She sighed as well and fell back onto her bed complaining. "Fine, but you better tell me all about it tomorrow." I said ok, mainly to keep her from asking me any more questions that night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
