The Most Beautiful Nightmare

Chapter One
Graduation Day - '62
"Congratulations Class Of 1962! We finally did it!"
Amber spoke in the microphone to her graduating class. This was the day she would say goodbye to all the useless homework. Goodbye to the snotty teachers who preached about nothing for an hour and a half. Goodbye to everyone she hated in the school. Goodbye forever. The graduating class took their caps off their heads and threw them up in the air. Amber was still preached up on the stage as she watched the class hug one another. She caught Link in the front row. He turned to face Tracy and gave her a big hug and kiss. It had been 5 months since the Miss Hairspray Pagent where she lost Link to Tracy Turnblad. Of course it had hurt her because she had loved him and tried to give him everything to make him happy. Looking back on it now it was a waste of time. The principal told Amber to go where the rest of the graduating class was so she could say goodbye to her friends and some of her council members. She gave a few hugs to the people she danced with on the Corny Collins show. She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find Link standing in front of her.

"Congratulations Amber. I can't believe we did it!"
He said pulling her into a hug and kissing her cheek. She was about to say something when she saw Tracy coming up behind Link. All she could manage was a smile to both of them. She watched the graduating class exiting the auditorium and were greeted with their parents she thought it was time she did that too. She squished by all the people and searched the crowd of parents for her mother. She caught a glimpse of sparkling pink sequence that she knew couldn't be anyone else but her mother.

"Now that you are done this stupid place we'd like to call an 'institution' we can get started on your claim to fame!"
Her mother placed her hand on Amber's shoulders.
"Mother. I just graduated. Can I just rest and figure what I want to do in life!"
Amber groaned as she headed toward the back door of the school.
"No. Do you think fame waits for anyone? You can't let the rest of the world past you by. It's standing in front of you."
Velma said following her daughter.
"No Mother. That's the door!"
Amber said making light of the conversation. Velma rolled her eyes as they got into the car and drove home.
"So Amber honey? Are you going to Prom tonight?"
Velma asked keeping her focus on the road. Amber sighed loudly.
"For the last freaking time Mother. Yes!"
Amber threw her hands up in the air and stared out the window. They finally got home. Amber headed straight to her room to change into her Prom dress. Velma knocked on her daughter's door. Amber huffed and opened it for Velma.
"Yes Mother what would you like now?"
She asked as she put more hairspray into her hair.
"I am just wondering why are you going to Prom when you don't have a date? I mean more than likely Link will be with that god forsaken whale and you will be just sitting here. What's the point?"
Amber turned around and looked at her mother.
"I am going because I want to. I want to experience the last few hours with the graduating class before you change my life and ruin it for both of us!"
She said sarcastically. Velma shrugged and closed the door. Amber made the final touches to her outfit for the night and exited her room.
"Alright Mother. I am off!"
Amber said as she put her pink heels on and grabbed her black purse.

"Well you do look lovely but I don't see why you are going."
Velma muttered to herself. Amber rolled her eyes and gave her mother a peck on the cheek.
"Wait! Before you go how are you getting there?"
Amber let go of the door knob and turned to face her mother.
"Some of the council girls are going to drive me there. Goodnight mother."
Amber gave Velma a look before she headed out. She had to wait maybe 3 minutes before Tammy & Fender arrived in the car.
"Oh Amber you look so stunning!"
Tammy said before Amber got into the car.
"Thank you Tammy. So do you. And you look very clean Fender."

Amber gave a smile to both of them as they drove off to Prom. When they entered the doors Amber's eyes sparkled. Everything was so beautiful. As Tammy,Fender and Amber walked by the tables they saw little diamonds that sparkled the tables. Amber was spinning around just to look at everything that was sparkling around her. Then someone called her name.
"Amber! Amber! Come sit with us!"
She got out of her little daze to realise it was Link and Tracy that was calling her. She thought to herself 'what can it hurt?' She walked over to their table and sat down.
"I see you don't have a date. That is not like you Amber."
Link said smiling. Amber's heart still beated strong for him but she didn't let him notice. She was a cold,brick wall when it came to him.
"Yeah well. Mother was quite curious as why I was going to Prom when I had noone to share the night with. Whatever."
Amber said chuckling and rolling her eyes.
"Well you can share the night with us. I mean after all we are all on good terms with each other."
Tracy giggled as she held Link's hand.

The truth was that she had nothing against Tracy anymore despite the fact that she was with Link but she had no power over that. She wouldn't consider herself best friends with Tracy. She had no best friends. That was just the way she was. She thought it was nice of them to let her share the night with them considering it was way better than sitting at a table and being with noone. She gave a smile to both of them before speaking.
"Well I do appreciate you letting me sit with you two,it's better than being alone at a table and watching everyone have a good time."
Link smiled at Amber. It was the smile that could shine in the darkest nights. He was a diamond in the rough. Then suddenly a slow song came on and Amber was expecting Tracy and Link to get up off their seats and head to dance floor but the unthinkable,unimaginable thing happened. Link got up off his seat and extended his hand toward Amber.
"What are you doing Larkin?"
She asked with a smirk on her face.
"Miss Von Tussel,may I have this dance?"
He asked.
